 As Matthius grumbled to himself over how she had shown him up twice that day, Mayu refocused upon Remy, tilting her head a bit. Though, the size of the order made her blink. Oh my.... the whole squad... "Yeah... Yeah thats a really big one. Um, it shouldn't be an issue." Glancing back to the kitchen, she spoke the familiar tongue between them, seeing Nana's response. She made a joke, Nana's face lighting up as laughter exploded from the kitchen.
Laughing, she turned her attention back to the knights, not minding the confused face of Matthius. "No, it won't be a problem. As to if you wait or stay, that is up to you. If you stay, I can get you both some sake. I don't mind helping you carry some of the food back. It will take a while since I can only imagine how much you all eat. So what would you like?" She reached back and handed them both a menu, hearing her name called from some of the other customers.
"Um... while you both look at that, I'm just going to tend to them real fast." With that she was off like a light, picking up empty dishes and taking them back to the kitchen before rushing out with more orders and handing them out, not taking too long before she was standing in front of them again.

 Before finding the leader of them, Jex decided to sneak into the castle and reassure her mother that she was safe. The only way to do that thought was to go through the tower, in which there were many zombies around that she couldn't let see into the hidden way. She krept up around teh castles edge to find some zombies feeding on a knight. This made Jex extremely angry, but she couldn't blow her cover just yet. Stealthily she conjured light by hiding it with her body and slowly tiptoed into view, the zombies too preorrupied to do anything. In one swoop, Elly ran and lunged at the horde, her ball of light energy now becoming visible and she ran at the zombies, the 'bomb' glowing brighter and blinding/disintegrating them with its purity. It was quite a scene to see but instead of marveling at her success, Jex made her way into the castle through the basement of the tower and then through a duct system that was made for people to sneak around in, incase of emergency. As Jex finally got to the cooks quarters, she dashed through the castle to the dungeons at the basement inwhich another secret place was. Twas a hallway first and then it stoped, dead like a deadend. Jex felt the stones on the wall and pressed them in a sequence and it opened up to another hallway inwhich it was a trap. Jex belly crawled on the floor in order to pass what would be arrows and finally she made it to the last hallway inwhich soldiers and knights protected it for the queen. They saw Jex and stood guard while two knights went to meet and take her down if they needed too. "It is I, princess Elly Meairna. I wish to see my mother to assure her that I am okay" Jex/Elly told the knights and brought out a necklace from inside her armor. It had wings around the locket and the crest of the Meairna family on the middle of it. She even opened it up to reveal a small jewel in the center that only the Meairna family had. The knights examined it and decided it was real and let her in to see her mother.
The queen sat on an old thrown that was cept in the hidden room for comfort for the royals. The room was stocked with food and a bed, the room being the size of a normal bedroom though with some other hidden cavities for food and other things. The queen looked at Jex and frowed, turned around and knitting more, a scarf almost done from the time spent in there."I thought I told the knights not to come in here and disturb me and to go look for Elly, why are you in here?" she complained and asked Jex, not turning around at all nor stopping her knitting. She sounded worried, yet she tried her best to keep a calm voice and act, which was something royals had to do. If it weren't for her mother being adopted into royalty and then becoming one, she would not have had to act so badly. Jex took off the wig she was wearing and sighed. She didn't want to have to tell her mother this early in the game, but she had no choice but to do it now, to insure the safety of her mother and father. "You cannot recognize your daughters own voice and complexion? I dressed up as a knight four years ago because there was a part of me that was missing that I needed to fill. At first it was hard to keep the secret from you and father, but then a quickly realized that in order to improve I need to keep it from you two. I want to be a queen that can rule without having to rely on my husband for the decisions. Dad went out there and fought for his people, dispite the consequences and they are relying on him to save their lives. I want them to rely on me some day too," she said in a voice that was stern and damanding yet gentle and confident. She knew she could do it and having praise by those who love you made it so much more worth it. Elly was now on her one knee. her one arm holding the wig as her head hung low as though bowing, her other hand rest on the hilt of her sword, the regular posture of a knight knealing before his royal majesties.The queen did not stop her kintting until Elly was bowing before her. How can a girl who seemed so uninterested in politics and royalty in general bow before her now and say such words? It was definately something surprising. The queens sighed and stood up, walking a bit to her daughter and placing a hand on her shoulder and then under her chin to make her look up. "I do not agree with your decision for you are a lady, not a gentleman, nor a beast of any kind. However, I knew this day would come for I saw ever since you were young that you had the authority to carry out and succeed in anything you set your mind to. If provoked, you would surely and securely get not only your revenge on some one or thing, but you would also restore order to the people. I believe in your spirit, and so does your father. Go, fight those creatures and help your father to become a great royal member of the Meairna clan," the queen said, her voice and face becoming more and more stern but graceful as her mind was set to super royalty mode. She smiled and a tear dropped form her eye as she looked as Elly and collapsed into a hug. Meanwhile outside the hordes were starting to die down,b ut the knights and the king all had to still attack, the zombies now more intelegent and finding hiding spots that could refrain them from attacking long enough to sneak and attack. That was whenever powers had to be involved and the ice sword the king had would do the trick, but he needed something else as well. He did what he could until a larger horde of zombies were near. He took off a black leater glove to reveal a glowing hand of light. He made a rather large star out of the light and swung it at the horde and it slashed at them and around the group but then came back like a boomerang only for the king to do it more. Knights were starting to use their powers too, some with elemental, others being half beast and changing into the beast to attack. It was unfortunate that these zombies used to be people,b ut there was no way to turn them back now.

Neither Remy nor Matthius understood the familiar tongue that Mayu spoke to the kitchen. They probably both wondered why there was so much laughter.
Matthius looked at Remy and then in the direction of Mayu. “What’s so funny?” he asked with a frown. He accepted the menu and started looking.
“Thank you, Lady Mayu.” Remy stared at the menu. He had eaten here before, but he was vegetarian, so he wasn’t familiar with all the food. While he remembered some of the knights’ preferences, there was no way he could remember or know all of them. He was one of the youngest knights in the group. “Sir Matthius, what should we order?”
“Ramen or udon sounds simple and safe,” Matthius mumbled with a shrug. “Well, there are some other choices obviously.”
“Perhaps, ordering a couple of different meals would work then,” Remy replied. He waited for Mayu to come back. Maybe it was better for Matthius or Mayu to do the recommendations. The other knights were not vegetarian.
((Sorry, Shadow. Had to.))

 Robert continued to battle his way through the zombies. They became smarter in their freedom, or perhaps someone, or something else took control when the wraith died. Or perhaps the wraith only controlled the skeletons. Debating this in his mind was pointless. He had to protect the king, otherwise his brother would have the advantage. Robert fought his way to the king and began taking out those zombies that would otherwise have a clear shot at the king.
"Get the king out of here! If the king dies then my brother will have the upper hand! Please, don't let your pride as a warrior turn into a weapon against you and your people!" Robert shouted as he continued to fight. The horde was starting to weaken in numbers, but Robert did not want to take any chances. If Narnith were to loose its king, the kindom would be without a voice of reason. Since Narnith was mostly unaware of Pualb's king's plot, Erik could easily influence them to hunt Robert down or keep them weakened with undead attacks until the armies would reach their gates. Either way, it would spell their doom.
*************************
 "Then why did you decide to tell people you were from Narnith? If you truly are from Gorc, you could have simply told them that and you wouldn't be here before me." Erik spoke before narrowing his eyes. "No, you have too rich of an arcane power for a simple student. Perhaps Gorc is making a move on Pualb, and you saw this as an opportunity to get close to me." Erik spoke in a calm, deductive tone of voice.
"However, if you truly are a student who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time yet has that much power, and you want to clear yourself and prove a boon to Pualb's safety, I do have a task that someone like you could accomplish. Tell me, what do you know about the Crimson Orb?" Erik asks, his face remaining a reflection of a poker face, straight and to the point. While the boy's power was actually stronger than his own, Erik had a hidden ally, and a most dangerous one at that. Should the boy actually try to attack Erik, this ally would most certainly make his presence known.

(( Dammit Scythe. xD rofl It's ok, I forgive you. Haha! )) Mayu came back, dabbing at her forehead again with the cloth from within her sleeve, smiling as she pulled out a pen with paper, tilting her head a bit. "So! What looks tasty to you? If anyone is vegetarian, I can recommend the avocado roll or cucumber. Unless fish isn't a problem. Because then everything should be fine." She giggled a bit, not wanting to make any assumptions about anyone or anything. Best not to after all. Things could end up biting you in the a**.Matthius looked over his menu and sniffed, cracking his neck as he leaned a little closer to her though it was clear he didn't want to, pointing to almost a few things that were well known amongst the men. "Besides those, I'll take some tempura udon, yaki udon, chicken katsu don...don...""Donburi?" Mayu offered with a sweet smile, blinking rapidly to add a slight level of cuteness. Oh his reaction was priceless. His pronunciation sucked.Matthius scowled, snapping the menu closed before handing it back to her. Though he practically threw it at her. "Yeah, donburi. Oh yeah, and plenty of sake." He finished, looking to Remy since he had ordered for about half the men.Mayu caught the menu with ease, flipping it under her piece of paper, writing down all that he wanted rapidly before looking to Remy. "Of course, Sir Remington? What would you like?" She asked with a softer smile, already calculating how long this would take.

((Slip of the hand there, Shadow. I'll get to you-know-what in Armand's next post. Hopefully, no food fights occur before that.))
Where blinked. Ah, it seemed he hadn’t been clear about the whole Narnith Gorc situation. What he had meant was that he was from Narnith, but had spent the past year studying in Gorc. But of course, the king had misinterpreted closer to home rather than with his faked story. The mage almost laughed to himself inside his head at the king’s response. It almost made the king seem paranoid.
Where appeared to look thoughtful for a moment as he pondered the Crimson Orb. “Well, I’ve heard a little bit about it, but don't really know much….” He shrugged. Unfortunately, at that moment, some sort of small vial hidden on his person broke unexpectedly, letting out a blue mist which formed into the shape of a small blue dragon. …you chose to break out at this time? Little one, what timing you have! Why he had chosen to use a vial instead of another method for the dragon was something he had done on a whim and not the best of ideas.
The small creature was tinier than the size of Where’s head and perched itself on his shoulder, its long tail weaving its way back and forth behind it and its wings neatly folding back down after a flutter and a yawn. It made a small snarling noise and stopped just short of biting Where’s ear as if it had been warned that it would suffer some sort of consequence if it did so. The dragon was clearly hungry, and the fact that the creature hadn’t made a beeline to devour the red haired boy was blatant sign enough that he wasn’t who he seemed to be. Little dragons that took larger sizes were not ordinary pets. Where sighed. His cover was broken. Rebutting clear physical proof of his ability was harder than simply playing along with the king’s senses and comments about arcane power. While it could be fun to make up more lies, he had become bored. Besides, he had an appointment that required higher level magic than Where was supposed to know that was coming up very soon.
The boy maintained his form as Where for the moment, but began to speak differently with a slightly more serious yet sarcastic tone and a knowing smile, more true to his actual persona. “Dear king of Paulb, it seems the little blue one is hungry.” He nodded in the direction of the knight next to him, letting the king interpret that as whatever he wanted to. It was either the dragon make a meal out of the knight, or the mage take the dragon on a wild run now. Besides, if the knight witnessed the dragon’s appearance, Armand couldn’t possibly have him spreading the news. For now, his hands still remained tied in the back. They wouldn’t stay like that forever. “Why do you seek the Crimson Orb?”

 Raven gritted her teeth, pulling her sword from the last undead in the clump she had just cut down, glancing about. Great, they had gotten smarter. Flicking open her free hand, droplets of water almost seemed to form from her finger tips, swirling in a rapid circle before dispersing into various areas. Find them. She spun to stab the zombie that had jumped out behind her, narrowing her eyes when it was spiked through and crumpled to the ground. Looking up to where her brother had perched himself, she nodded to him and looked to where the King was.
 Seeing the unfamiliar fighter near him, she fought her way closer, reforming the "whip" of water in her other hand as her sword gleamed in the light before coming down on the undead remaining. She had to protect the King at all costs! As a knight, this was her basic duty besides protecting the people of the kingdom. Her blade whistled through their dwindling numbers, allowing Alden to look for the ones that were attempting to hide. He was an assassin, he could find them. As others began to change around her, some were noting how it almost seemed like she were a demon or dragon or some great creature tearing through it's enemies without mercy. It was clear why she was called the Blue Eyed Dragon.
Alden, on the other hand, was perched quite comfortably on his little platform of ice, runways forming so he could move around above the mayhem below. He pinpointed where some zombies were hiding, a walk way swooping down to allow him to stab through their heads, his longer throwing needles sent burrowing into their skulls. Rising up, the walk way melted as he moved around, only forming enough for him to move a few steps forward and maybe two backwards.
Heading up higher, his platform shrank so it was enough to hold him, picking out which were which below him. The sheer amount of blood he could sense in each made it easy. Still, had to be careful he didn't strike anyone else. His eyes flashed again, spikes shooting up where he saw zombies prepping to strike soldiers from behind, stabbing them through with a shower of ice spikes, more soldiers glancing up and nodding to him in thanks much like his sister had. I hope after this we get a day off. Seriously. He sighed lightly, the glow from his eyes fading as he lowered he glanced about. Good, not too many left.
He formed skates of ice on the bottom of his shoes, extending his platform forward as he skated through the air around the castle to help on different sides, knowing his sister could take care of those nearest to the king.

Elly hugged her mother tightly, tears also running other her own face. She faced her one last time before leaving the room, some knights looking in to make sure Elly didn't kill the queen. They told her everything was clear and wished her luck. Be it the determination on her face of the fact that one had super hearing, they knew what she was about to do and both of them bowed in acceptance to it.The king was doing a fine job until a sneak attack of zombies came at him. He fought them off until the young prince from Paulb came to his aid, telling the knights what to do. "No disrespect Prince Robert, but I will defend my people the way that i see fit and how I can. If I die, that is just the way fate has it for me. My daughter can fight and lead in my stead, not to mention the queen will still be rule. My pride, a weapon against my people? No. no, I am not a pridefull man, I want to fight. It makes me feel alive and young again," he mentioned and stuck a sword inside a zombie, this time it being a red sword that when taking it out, it engulfed the zombie in flames. "" ((omg writers block. im not sure what to write about O____o))

((Ambush Raven and Alden
Edit: Ambush as in meet up with them, not actually ambush. Aren't they both in the castle area along with Robert and Elly?))
Something was really brewing between Mayu and Matthius, and Remy had almost missed it while trying to figure out what to order. He listened to Matthius’s order as well as Mayu’s recommendations. There weren’t too many vegetarians, Remy thought, so maybe he’d just make half of the half order he was making vegetarian just in case. Besides, some of the vegetarian sides could just be snacks. Since Matthius had covered sake, he didn’t bother to mention it. Water was available at the training grounds, and he wasn’t sure if people would choose tea over sake. So, he tried ordering some vegetarian dishes/snacks such as miso soup, onigiri, and the avocado roll that Mayu suggested. As for the meat dishes, he included some types of teriyaki(including fish) and left the rest to Mayu to recommend.

(( But they are on the same side. That would make no sense. O.o Raven's a knight of Narnith and her brothers helping her with that right now. )) Raven straightened up after cutting through one of the larger bunches of zombies, sighing lightly as her eyes glanced about to see other knights thinning out the rest. At this point there were so few of the enemy she moved onto the ones that were closer to the King, not allowing herself to relax just yet. She knew better than to let her guard down in such situations. She had to take a deep breath as pairs of eyes and brief flashes of screams and growls echoed in her head, her sword twitching as it cut through the flesh of the undead in front of her. She shattered the skull of the skeleton that followed it, her lips tightening into a line. A darkness eh? I'm glad his insight was correct. She thought to herself, some of the fierceness gone from her eyes.
Pulling water from the spikes that her brother had left, she absorbed it into the whip that came from the palm of her hand, instead extending it up her arm, spiking it to form a long blade that extended from her elbow. She shot off a couple of spikes at the couple of skeletons that were trying to sneak up on people, her cape rustling in the breeze. She had not forgotten how the King had not seen her earlier, but still, duty came first. And it was small, petty. Best not to worry about such things now. There was no point. Besides, Alden would probably end up speaking to her about it. Clenching her encased hand into a fist, she cut through a smaller group, the area around the King clear.Alden started to relax as he impaled a ton of the zombies below him, watching as the knights took care of the rest. He sighed and sat back on his little platform of ice, legs dangling from the air, the skates now gone. Wiping off his rapier, he sheathed it for the moment, deciding he'd just use his abilities if he really needed to. "Well. Guess we're fine for now. I hope Raven hasn't gone off on anyone." He muttered, his platform turning into a scooter of a pave way of ice, somehow propelling itself forward and around to the front of the castle, checking on the situation there. Wonder if Dad's ok... He frowned and turned his blue eyes in the direction of the city, the frown creasing his features. Their dad was old, no matter how great a fighter he was. He worried about him. And his mother.
Spotting Raven rather quickly and easily, he watched his sisters movements, precise and without waste of any motion. She was still upset about at least one thing, he could tell that though her expression was as inscrutable as ever. No.... she would never get a man. This he concluded right then and there, a sort of on-going joke with himself. Chuckling, he occasionally flicked a finger, sending ice crystals into the skulls of skeletons and zombies, making them implode with surprising size. Man... he really hoped he could go back to his tavern and get a drink. Or nap. A nap sounded really good. He was sick of this fighting even if it was against undead things. I suppose it's better than living things. I hate that more. Leaving himself to his thoughts, he interfered from his high perch, feet dangling in the air without a care.

Mayu waited patiently for him, looking over what he ordered as her hand wrote down his order furiously. It made her smile when she heard him take her recommendation, making man a decision for herself. It wasn't like any of their food was bad. Taking the menu from him gently, she smiled to them both, adding a little sweetness to Matthius who grunted and almost looked as if he wanted to fight her right then and there. "Alright! The food will take a little while to make so please be patient. I'll get you some water while you wait." With that, she was off to the kitchen to help them cook and gather up everything, a different girl bringing them their water.
As different foods were ready faster, she bundled them up carefully, placing them in a cloth bag. The bowls of food she covered, handling them with care since they were so hot. It took about a half-hour to get most of it done, three of the bags aligned up next to each other on one counter. It took another fifteen minutes for the rest. These guys were lucky that they were used to having to push out a lot of food at fast rates. In total there were about seven bags packed of bento's filled to the brim with food.
She took two herself, looking to the boys with a small tilt of her head. "Good lucky working that out. But we are finally good to go. Shall we?" She asked with a small tilt of her head, personally carrying the sake and some of the different sushi.

Elly had ran off and started to stab the zombies again. This time though, she didn't have her wig on, leaving it inside with her mother, so she could never really go back to being Jex, at least not here in Narnith. Running deeper into hordes of zombies, Elly thought it was very interesting that they were so dumb. Normally if it ere living people and one person ran into a group of them, there was no way that she could survive that. Instead, if one jumped at her and she easily got him off, the other came at her as though they were in slow motion or something. It was quite interesting a bit fun. That was until Elly ran into something that she saw was there, but it somehow illusioned her and made her run into it. Rubbing her nose she looked up to see a boy sitting ontop of this... ice pillar thing, dangling his feet as though nothing was happening. "" "I say, can't you at least help out with something instead of sitting up there like that? I could have been killed because of this pillar here, you should watch it or get out of here, one of the two," Elly told him in a stern and reprimanding voice. She didn't care much who she was talking to and if they did care, well then they could pick a fight with her later. Right now she was in the middle of a battle, but she would be more than happy to fight about it after.
One Elly made her way through that one horde, she saw others gradually gathering towards a group of people. Elly examined it and saw many knights surrounding the King who did not look happy because he couldn't fight and because there where zombies in his land. Elly smirked a bit, knowing that he father was probably thinking that stuff. She continued fighting, turning and slashing at the zombies while also getting them from above when jumping high and landing on one and slashing and tearing at others. She then noticed a woman knight who had a ice whip that changed into an ice blade. Elly admired her for being female and fighting as though she were protecting someone. They needed more knights like that in Narnith, but Elly also noticed that she was from a different kingdom, though right now the girl was moving too quickly for her to see. Elly would have to find her later and ask, but right now she had to make her way towards the king. She fought off zombies until there was a clearing infront of the knights. She showed her crest, the knights around saluting her by taking their hands, fisting them, and then pouinding their hearts, nodding in the royal welcome from the knights. Elly nodded as she squeezed past them to her father. "Well by thunder look at this! My daughter, the girl who seemed so uninterested in being what she was bornt o be is fighting alongside smelly men and women for the safety of her people. Well I say I never thought that I would live to see the day! Welcome to the family Ell's haha! Your mother must be proud to see you taking interest to the kingdom. Yes, yes it'll be hard finding you a good husband now, they don't like girls that are tougher than themselves, but as long as you are happy with this, I am too. Come, we must fight!" the king said enthusiastically and hugged Elly around the shoulders. When he said that they were to fight more, he let go and plunged through his men to get at some zombies who were wriggling towards them. Elly smirked at her fathers crazy fighting, his mind probably being back in the times where he fought great battles and when he was much younger than what he is now. She luaghed and shook her head, grabbing both the same fire sword her father had, another family heirloom, and the other, plain sword, and charged at the zombies with hikm, a father and daughter zombie blood bath happening right before many eyes.

Alden blinked as he heard something collide with one of the ice spikes below, looking down from his little platform. He frowned a bit and sighed, watching as the girl ran off into the fray. Judging by the way the king was responding, it must be the princess. That just made him sigh again. Great. The Princess of our kingdom thinks I'm useless. Joy upon joy. It wasn't like the platform he was sitting on was connected to the ground. He was suspended in mid air by water in the air he had frozen. He would have laughed at how she had just ran into one of the spikes except she thought he had been doing absolutely nothing this whole time."Well maybe you should watch where your going." He muttered to himself, flicking a finger in the direction of some more zombies in a bored fashion. They crumpled to the ground, his blue eyes looking in the direction of his sister. As always, his efforts were forgotten and unappreciated. I should really just go back to being a bartender. At least there people realize what I've done.
He watched as his sister and the princess fought off zombies, glancing around the area again. Bringing one hand up, he brought it down, with his fingers tense as if he were gripping something. With that, more zombies went down near the knights which allowed them to get closer to the king. He was getting tired, lowering his platform towards the ground a little bit. He'd rather not join the fray if at all possible. He liked this perching and impaling zombies from a distance thing.Raven spun about, bringing her two gleaming blades down upon three zombies, grimacing as she felt one grab her cape. The ice around her encased arm branched off and stabbed through the zombie, forcing it to let go. Tugging it free, she spun about, her blades cutting through the putrid flesh. She noticed a girl had joined this particular fray. Listening to the King, her brows furrowed as it was revealed she was his daughter, the Princess. She glanced to her as father and daughter fought together, allowing herself to not worry about her. If she had not known how to fight, she'd be concerned where this country, her home, was going.
Looking up to her brother, she saw he looked less than happy, shaking her head a bit. She'd have to treat him to something after this. The rate at which zombies were getting spiked was going down. She already knew her mother would do something for him since she knew how he was best. Forcing her thoughts away from her family, she darted about, clearing away the undead in the immediate area.
As she heard a cry from one of the knights, she turned as saw them getting overwhelmed, casting her encased arm forward. The water receded from it and extended into a whip again which shot forward and took care of the undead. Running up to his side, she aided him as he made a cast of shadow around his leg, supporting himself. "You must be able to do such things at once while fighting. Remember your surroundings!" The knight blinked as he realized who she was, instead only nodding and saluting to her. "YES LIEUTENANT!" This made her smirk, turning her back to him as he did the same, the two taking down the undead in their vicinity.
Once she was sure he was fine, she darted back over to where the king and princess were, her whip lashing and spiking through numerous undead. It was like a dragon's tail swiping through it's foes without mercy. Her sword equivalent to it's claws.

Remy and Matthias accepted the water that the other girl brought them and waited patiently, though Matthius made some snide comment about Mayu, which Remy conveniently ignored and didn't respond to.
The wait wasn't too long as three bags miraculously appeared filled to the brim within thirty minutes. Fifteen minutes later, they were joined by four more companions in bags.
With two in Mayu's arms, that left five for Remy and Matthius. Obviously, they could both handle two bags. It was a question of the third. Who had the better strength or balance? Matthius was the bigger of the two and definitely stronger than Remy. However, Remy had the better balance and speed. The two knights looked at each other.
"Whoever is taking that third bag better not hold the soup," Matthius said.
"I agree," Remy replied as he peeked to see which bag had the soup. He didn't have it, which meant Matthius did. "I'll take it," the blonde volunteered. Little did any of them know what would happen on the way back.
"Yes, let's!" Matthius responded to Mayu cheerfully, for no apparent reason.

Mayu glanced between the two of them, tilting her head a little bit as they looked into the bags. She made sure she hadn't had the soup since she sometimes had a clumsy streak in her. Despite how graceful or balanced she seemed, she always managed to trip once a day. It did mean that she had developed an ability to save a tray filled with sake if she did, but she wasn't willing to risk soup. Not as much as they ordered.
She blinked at Matthius' reaction, not really expecting it from him. Though, she thought she detected a bit of mockery in it, but she jumped to no conclusions. "Alright!" She glanced back and shouted something to the girls in their native tongue, smiling to the waves she received. With that, she headed outside, waiting for them to catch up before she walked any further ahead. She was used to carrying such weight.
"So, is something going on? It almost feels like somethings off in the air. Maybe it's just me. Nobody else seems to notice it." She asked them, mainly looking to Remy, but to be polite she did glance to both of them. Even though Matthius was an a**, he was still a guard. She never knew if he may decide it would be fun to arrest her or something.Matthius did not mind as Remy took the third bag, shifting his grip on the two he already held. At her question he raised an eyebrow, looking to his partner for the moment. She was a civilian, did she have rights to know what had happened during their practice? "You must be imagining things. Perhaps it's the trickery of your fox. Can't trust it." He chuckled, just barely managing to dodge a kick from her. It made him growl and narrow his eyes at her.Mayu's hair seemed to stand up in her anger to his comment, aiming a swift kick to his legs but he unfortunately dodged. She growled, almost appearing like a snarling vixen. "At least we're smarter than a buffoon like you! Bakahashinanakyoranai!" She snapped, almost shifting into her half form though she resisted. Best not to right now.
