As she entered the marketplace Femi began to get distracted by the people bustling past, calling loudly out and bustling around, and the performers making fools of themselves in outrages shows to attract attention and money. She paused a couple of times to watch someone do a trick that seemed more like magic, but her mind stayed the entire time on looking for Seth, after all, if she didn't find him then she would have to spend a day at home washing clothes and cooking dinner.
It was by chance that Femi caught sight of someone in a cloak out in the crowd, and eager to catch up and see if it was Seth she started off through the crowd, shoving her way through the people and struggling to get closer. "Master!" She called out loudly, mindful not to refer to him as Seth but hoping he would recognize her voice. "Master! It's Femi!" She called out, just in case he didn't recognize her by voice alone. In the next moment the crowd seemed to part to let her through, and she burst out and clasped a hand around the the cloak.

Seth heard Femi calling him and felt someone grab and tug at his cloak. He turned slightly. "Good morning Femi." he greeted in a low voice. "I take it you have been looking for me." He put a hand on top of her head. He smiled in his head at how enthusiastic Femi is. "Is there something you wanted?" he asked turning around completely.

She could feel her face heating up, she'd probably be turning pink in the face; she felt a little shyer than normal, but the hand on top of her head made her feel oddly happier and warmer. "Yes, Master, I was looking for you, but no, there isn't anything in particular that I wanted," She explained in a soft and fairly meek voice as she ducked her head slightly. "I just thought that perhaps you would like some company today? And maybe you would have something intresting to show me?" Femi suggested in a questioning voice. Realizing suddenly she still had a hand on his cloak she released it and tried to step slightly back, but the crowd brushing against her prevented that.

Seth smiled slightly. "There actually is something I have been working on lately." he mentioned pulling out the scroll that had been preoccupying his attention. "I'm not quiet done yet though. I'm missing something." he finished. He looked at the crowd and frowned. It was a little too crowded here. "Let's get away from the crowd" he suggested turning towards the way that headed away from the marketplace.

The pink still staining her cheeks Femi followed after him, happy to hear he'd been working on something. Perhaps she could be useful today and actually help him instead of destroying things like she normally did? Perhaps they'd even get to see the spell to completion and she could watch the new and intresting thing that her master had been working on. Or, even better, they would go outside the city to practise some of the spells she still didn't have time and he would relax enough to at least move the hood away from his face. Femi smiled happily at that plan, though she wasn't sure which part of the last plan was better: the spells or the hood removal; and somehow that thought made her face heat up all the more.

Seth decided that maybe it was a good thing Femi had found him. He might have a shot a finishing this spell. He lead down the street that lead back to his hut. The children from earlier were playing in the streets again, only this time when they saw him approaching they ran into their home. He sighed and ignored it. Anyway if he wanted attention he would have stayed at the temple. He entered his house and pulled his cloak off tossing it onto his cot and sat at the table pulling out the scroll and his notes.

Femi paused just inside the dorway of the hut and felt her face heat up even more; he didn't just pull back the hood, he threw the whole cloak off. Swallowing a lump in her throat she stepped inside and stood next to him for a moment before sinking to her knees so she could see what he was working on. It was a bit distracting all of that red hair, but she made herself pay attention to what he was doing and now what he looked like; perhaps she was strange in that she was attracted by the same looks everyone else was repulsed by. "Is this what you're working on, Master Seth?" She asked him quietly, adopting the strange soft whisper most people used when it came to magic.

Seth didn't look up as he shuffled through his notes and unrolling the scroll to look over what he had already done. He nodded stiffly and leaned back a little trying to figure out was missing. He looked over at Femi from the corner of his eye. "Femi are you feeling alright?" he inquired turning to face her.

Femi stiffened slightly at the question and the fact that attention was turned on her when she wanted it the least, unfourtantely this only made her blush even more. "I-I-I'm fine Master Seth." She stuttered, stumbling over the words in her embarrassment. Because she was embarrassed the blush on her face only increased, and she kin d of hoped that it wasn't obvious, but she knew with her paler than normal skin the blush would be quite obvious indeed.

Seth saw the slight blush on Femi's face and smirked in his head. His eyes wandered to the tattoo are her arm. He furrowed his brow. Seth grabbed Femi's wrist and turned her arm so he could see the tattoo better. He smirked. "That's it" he whispered.

With a light yipe Femi jumped slightly, her eyes widening at his actions; Seth wasn't normally quite this enthusiastic. Of course, just as she was calming down from the strangness he chose that moment to smirk, and her eyes widened more as her stomach did an intresting little flip. Face on fire yet again Femi relaxed her arm and shifted it so he didn't have to twist it quite so much; if he wanted to get excited over his own handiwork suddenly then let him be excited over it, though she was curious... "What's "it", Master Seth?" She asked in a quiet little squeak, watching him half in curiosity, partial fascination, and partial embarassment.

Seth released Femi's arm and turned to the scroll and proceed to draw the symbol in the area that was left. "'It' is what was missing all this time" he explained looking back over his work for errors. Seth immediately composed himself thinking that he might be frightening his apprentice. He rolled the scroll back up and set it down on the table. "Forgive me, Femi" he muttered hastily looking away.

The blush still on her face Femi lightly rubbed where he had grabbed her wrist, it had been a little rough but it didn't hurt her. "It's alright Master Seth, you didn't hurt me or anything..." She said softly, wanting to reach out to comfort him because he seemed so upset, but she was very hesitant about doing so; so Femi forced herself to laugh slightly to cheer him up, pasting a bright smile on her face and ignoring her own blush. "It was actually kind of intresting to see you so animated, Master!"

Seth slid his gaze back over towards Femi. He closed his eyes and sighed standing up swiftly and picking up his cloak. He pulled it on and turned to Femi as he pulled the hood up. "Prepared to test this spell?" He asked picking up the scroll and walking over to stand next to Femi.

It was a little sad to lose Seth to the cloak again, put talk of seeing the spell in action had Femi quickly and quite litterially bouncing to her feet. "Yes, Master! I'd love to be able to witness your newest spell!" She said happily, clutching both hands to her chest in an effort to keep her enthusisasm bottled up, but she couldn't stop from hoping in place a few times. "I can't wait!" She told him honestly, chirping in a slightly squeaky voice that was half laugh half squeal of excitement.
