❂ But first he must rule in heart and in mind ❂
As Magnus stepped off the ship and onto the docks he looked at the Machinists gathered around him.
"Evening," he said with a nod, his voice and gaze much colder than before. Shira wasn't the only one who could act. He did his best to channel his father as he waited for the others to join him.
"I'd like to speak to Saint Clara." Despite knowing Naomi from previous visits, she still surprised him with her quick response.
"Sure thing!" She told them with a smile. He looked over to see someone yanking on Navik and Kornari's tails. No surprise there: they were always getting into situations like that somehow. He gave them a small smile despite himself before turning back to Naomi.
"Could you take us to Saint Clara please, Naomi?" He asked the girl calmly. Before Naomi could respond, the brown-haired girl rushed up to them, apparently having just set up her camera.
"Oh my gosh I can't believe this!" She gushed excitedly.
"I knew when I joined up with The Machinist Order and became the official Order Historian that I'd be hob-nobbing with the rich and famous, but Lady Death and Lord Magnus in the same place at the same time! This is SO awesome! Hold still guys, I gotta get a pic okay!?" "Err..." The girl turned and ran back to her camera, shifting it slightly before standing behind it.
"Wow, so much is happening today it's crazy!" She apparently didn't need them to smile because there was a blinding flash as the camera took their pictures. Magnus blinked as his vision came back, slightly worried that it might have been some kind of ploy to knock them unconscious or something. But it seemed that wasn't the case. She was definitely new here: Magnus would have remembered her.
The girl quickly came back, then noticing the cat in Shira's arms.
"Awww!" She said, walking over to it.
"Can I see!?" She scooped up the cat and held it up to her face by its front shoulders.
"He's just the sweetest thing!" She cooed.
"What's his name?" "Uhh...Tak-" "I've always wanted a cat but I've been too scared to get one because Saint Clara would probably shoot it and then give it back to me." She held Takeshi up to her face and leaned forward, rubbing her nose back and forth against his with a big smile on her face.
Well...if they know what's going on, she's certainly not in on it. I can probably guess why... Naomi gave a slightly embarrassed smile as she watched the scene.
"So how was the trip?" She asked.
"Boring," Sable responded.
"I wasn't talking to you!" "I know."
