The, for a second, puffed up cheeks with air and then pout confirmed what Neith said to be true. However early she seemed ready to take the morning hours to have something interesting to watch. "I guess I could always sleep some during the days instead," she said in a low voice, talking more to herself than the others.
((XD;; *hadn't noticed you'd posted*))

Neith decided to ignore that comment for the time being. "Do you need me, my lady?" When Micoi didn't answer immediatly, Neith headed for the door.
"I will be checking in on you later in the day to see how you've been." This was a thinly veiled hint for, 'if you don't do what I told you, I will find out and you will be in big trouble, missy'. With a smile and short nod to the Blue Dragon Officer and Dragon Lord, Neith left to see to her other duties.

Cheeks once again puffing up with air, the owner sending a slight glare at the door that was already closing after the Head Maid. Apperantly, the little Queen-to-be didn't like to be pushed and ordered around...

Jett smiled benignly and offered Micoi a nicer chair, facing his desk. "Please, sit down, My Lady, we have much to discuss... in private." That last one was clearly directed to the dozing Kushina. The look he gave Kushina was one of knowing, and a touch of humbleness. Clearly he knew what she wanted him to do, but at least he wanted the dingity of doing such in private.
Aurumn staggered back towards the castle, sweaty and exhausted, having just come back from early-morning training with the rest of the junior fighters. Being the lowest on the Dragon totem pole, the Junior Fighters ahd the worst training hours; the early hours. The only pro to training early was that the sun was not beating down so hard upon their backs. All he wanted right now was a shower.

Kushina jerked slightly, noticed things had changed and coughed, slightly embarrassed. Nodding decisively, Kushina stood up, catching Jett's glance form the corner of her eye. Ah, good. Seemed she had managed to impress on him his stupidity and responsibility in all this.
"I suppose that means I'll now be kicked out! Well, I have other things to do, and I'll check on you later, too, my Lady. I look forward to get to know you better," smiling brightly, Kushina, with a quick, roguish grin, grabbed up Micoi's hand and kissed the back of it quickly, before slipping out of the door.
"I look forward to hearing about your day, later!" which of the two she was talking to, was anybody's guess...
Liozu had woken up, disoriented from hazy dreams of another life, but in control. He could still feel the slender, shimmering strings attached everywhere, though, even though they weren't fastened on his body. Stretching, Liozu quickly, one foot catching around one of the legs of the bed and slamming his forehead on the opposite wall as he fell, dressed and was halfway out the door when he suddenly convulsed, falling to his knees.
"Nngh--Ghk. Not again--!"
Unfortunately, we can't always get what we want, and it would probably be uncomfortably long until Liozu would truly be alone in his own body again.
"That was close... I clearly cannot sleep in, any longer... though, not a problem, really. Who likes to hang around with nothing to do?" chuckling with dark humour, Liozu shook his head, once again disappointed and not used to the utter pathetic lenght, and stood up.
"These clothes..." shaking his head, Liozu frowned. Obviously, they would have to do, but he was hardly happy about it. But, then again, everybody had to make sacrifices.

Micoi turned her eyes from Jett who had been talking to her and onto the officer that was now, technically, being kicked out as that one spoke up. The young dragon had been about to answer Kushina but was brought up short by the sudden, and completely unexpected, action on the other's part. All she managed to get out was a light "eh?" and a soft blush on her cheeks as her hand got kissed, another thing she wasn't the least used to. However, Kushina's hands had been gentle and the gesture, albeit mischievous, was with no ill meant. Or...?

As Aurumn headed into the castle, Celia spotted him. "A..Aurumn!"She said, kind of quietly, but clearly trying to get his attention. The water knight hurried over towards him as best she could, her leg now feeling a bit better than it had. "I um...I wanted...to apologise....I never really gave you an answer....um....yesterday,"Celia mumbled, not quite sure how to say what she ment.
'Celia, be confident,'Said Kahaku rather encouragingly, as he shifted his weight slightly accross her shoulders.

Jett blinked, then sighed softly. "Kushina..." He groaned under his breath, shaking his head. But then she was gone, and they were alone. "I..." Jett paused, chosing his words carefully. "I think we proceeded a little too quickly yesterday with your introduction to the Court, which resulted in some inappropriate actions...And, I think that we both owe each other something..."

Quickly wiping the slight color off her face, Micoi turned around to face the Dragon Emperor completely again, looking at him as he spoke. And here I thought that was how it was supposed to be, she almost grumbled out loud, but just almost.
She wasn't stupid, she knew that he was pointing at the same thing as Neith had told her but she didn't feelthe least sorry... How could she?
"Even if you don't mean it, just apologize."
The Head Maid's words echoed in her head but she stubbornly lowered her gaze to the side, looking at the edge of Jett's oak desk, studying the golden metal edge there, instead. However, she was able to see him out of the corner of her eye. "Oh? What would that be?" she asked, meaning both the "inappropriate actions" and the other "something".

"Better, thank you..."She said, nodding a little bit. Celia didn't seem to have noticed that he didn't look his very best, or at the very least she didn't seem to mind. She smiled, trying not to seem as nervous as she was.

"......." She could not be this airheaded. "Let us simply say that you should not have used... physical force, and I should not have treated you as if you understood our ways immediately. Is it clear what we should do now?"

The Queen-to-be turned her face back to look the other dragon dead in the eye. "I don't see how hitting someone you're angry with is inappropriate. Kanak always let me hit on him when I got angry, because usually he knew when he deserved something," she countered, her features drawn stubbornly as she sat straight, staring back at him. The straight part was not because it wouldn't do slouch but she wasn't able, or used perhaps, to slouching in a corest, which was the name for this living nightmare she had been informed by Neith.
It was clear that teaching this young lady that "not using physical force" was more or less the only way she was going to be allowed to go about things here wasn't going to be easy... to say the least.

Jett returned her glance, his tone now cool, "Slapping someone, especially the King of all Dusis, is extremely inappropriate. In fact, I find that in our society, only parents have to deal with their immature children hitting and slapping." He was being blunt now, but it seemed that was the only way to get the point across to Micoi.
There was a moment of uncomfortable silence. Then Aurumn spoke up again, "Ah... so would you like to go out for...um... coffee or something, later today?"
