Arasoi looked at the turtle. An old, brittle-ish shell, a long... Beard? Plus it talks. Arasoi's back stopped jolting. The lightning began to fade away, but it still shone, almost elegantly. He knew better to disrespect the elders. And an old talking turtle. Which lives in the shrine. He must be a youkai of importance.

"Sorry, old one. My name is Arasoi, a friend of Mima. I apologise is I have disturbed you in anyway." Arasoi then bowed to the turtle

The turtle nodded. "That's much better. The name's Genji. I'm guessin' you're Arasoi? Mima told me about you last night. You the one who's going to help her find Miss Reimu?"

She blinks titling her head confused.  "oh" Tosses the carrot into the pit not caring. "my name is Sparkler." She says now getting an idea about the new hole. "...hey... i could fill it with stuff and set it on fire and take a bath in fire!" Excited about the idea, she begins flying around looking for bamboo to toss into the hole to set on fire. "Fire hot~, Fire burn~, Fire helps you learn~" A burning desire to see what it was like to take a bath in fire was in her eyes, as she flew around quickly.

Minako is nearly as startled as Shou at Heal's request. At least at first, but then she simply nods to herself. Who wouldn't want to follow this woman? But Minako doesn't care much for the word 'guest'. It sounds temporary, like one day she'll be told to leave. Byakuren says they're welcome to stay, but Minako chooses to be patient, and not press the issue at the moment.

"And what business would that be, Lady...?" she pauses, uncertain how Byakuren wishes to be adressed.

Arasoi tilted his head slightly to the right. Reimu? Who's Reimu...? His fingers twitched awkwardly, alon with his eyelid. Trying to think... Of course! That shrine maiden.

"O-Oh yeah! Reimu the shrine maiden. Yeah, I-I guess ill be helping Mima find her..." Arasoi laughed awkwardly.

Heal was saddened a bit by Byakuren's statement, but then, she didn't explicitly state that she denies her so she tries kept a positive attitude and replies to her response. "I understand that my options of duty are limited, but pardon my stubborness, I will continue to serve no matter what the objective is, just say the word. And I shall be healed. :]" Afterwards she stood up and tilts her head down in embarrassment and tries  to explain herself with a long-winded speech, but hesitates and instead she gives it mentally to save the trouble.

"I apologize if my behavior is of a nuisance, but I have no one to serve. I was an ornamental suit of armor, worn by my first lord to fight off hostilities and some miscellaneous activities I apparently forgot...like...gathering? Anyway, once he and his family was found and relocated by villagers I was left alone for a whole generation, marking the end of my first tour of duty. As since my awakening I...I...oh how I wish you can hear my heart, for it would be selfish for me not to let Minako speak her thoughts while I give out mine."

"No, I'm fine." Mikan regained her calm composure, as if she had a change of personality. When she ate she seemed as if she was really into it, much like a gourmet, or rather a gourmand considering her hearty appetite and the unnerving speed at which those pastries disappeared into her mouth. The latter comment of the silver maid made Mikan slightly uncomfortable, but then she reminded herself about where she was, and the sarcastic remark quickly diminished its importance in her hierachy of problems. She gave the fairies a quick once over, finding herself taking comfort in the fact that those cretins seemed far more incapable than her, even though she did not have any superiority complex of any sort.

"Well... I'm ready to go now." Mikan formed a slight smile, a smile that showed confidence and a level of disregard for the verbal abuse of the maid. If Sakuya only saw the surface of the issues Mikan went through, she would certainly see a confident girl, possibly somewhat naive. If she delved a little deeper, not so. Still, the maid had had a lot of time with her disturbingly hyperactive mistress, who had a penchant for acting on impulse; perhaps, despite her diminished social skills, she would have the insight to see through Mikan's cover.

I wonder what this "Mistress" is like.

"Prepare mentally?" Ohuku knew what the two words meant but she had no idea how she was supposed to do that.

"I guess I can just try out stuff" She thought and proceeded to test what she could do with this body she'd gotten. She discovered she was surprisingly agile, easily able to go down into a split or place her legs around her neck.

However when she tried out how limber the neck itself was she ran into a problem, namely her hair couldn't move around freely as she'd like, seeing as it was trapped under her old body.

"Since this is me the I should be able to change myself like I can move myself right?" She reasoned and put her hands on the part of her poncho that was located right below her neck. Carefully she pushed her hands into the piece of clothing and opened up a hole in it, letting her hair out through it.

With her hair able to move freely through the air she started testing how rapidly she could move her neck. The results weren't astounding but she could maneuver her head fast enough to get some relative control of where her hair was at any given time. However, swinging it around too much managed to leave her dizzy as she slumped down onto the floor once again.

"Are we going yet?" She called out towards where Momiji had left the room, she was getting bored of laying around.

((OOC: To those that didn't read her profile, her hair consists of the same things that are in ordinary jellyfish tentacles which is why she wants to be able to move them around.))

Yoshiko was slowly growing louder, until her last sentence was only somewhat quiet. ?Oh, I'm not searching for any...? Yuyuko trailed off. ?Don't worry about it for now. Anyway, what did you say your name was? I couldn't hear you.?

".. em it's Yoshiko Nakaumra... ehe, Yuyuko-sama, then what do ghosts do?"

"Oh..." Sayuri mumbles.
As the fairies pop out of the bushes, Sayuri jumps slightly, startled by the sudden ruckus. She watches the two beings roll around on the ground energetically. The spirit feels her heart lift for a moment. Likely thinking that that looks fun. She continues to observe the fairies, carefully watching them.

Hilde was not pleased about the answers of Satori, but she was hiding it, not only in her expression.
She drank the last sip of her tea and put down the cup on the table."Thank you for your hospitality. That's really kind. I would like to rest. May you show a room please?"

(OOC: Sorry about the long wait, everyone. I'm always very busy on Sundays.)

Narouge

Sparkler was interrupted by a tap on the shoulder from Tewi. ?Oy. You can't just fly around and take the bamboo like you own the place. Especially not if you're just going to waste it by setting it on fire.? Tewi puffed out her chest. ?If you want that bamboo, you're gonna have to take it from me.?


Sourpang and GuardianTempest

Byakuren sighed at Heal's stubbornness. She then stood up in anger. ?How dare you! That pun was horrible! Flying Bowl: Legendary Flying Saucer!? ?I see that I can't convince you otherwise... Well, do what you will, but I won't be treating you any differently.? She then turned her attention to Minako. ?That's a surprise~ And you can just call me Byakuren.?

Youkai Jesus

Genji raised an eyebrow. ?...You okay over there, sonny? That witch didn't make ya eat one of 'er mushrooms, did she?? His eyes then narrowed. ?Don't tell me... You're one of them! You're here to take me, too!? He started waving his head around, frantically. ?Someone help! This young whippersnapper is trying to take me away! I'm too young to be turned into turtle soup!?

The fairies were now staring at the two of them. Arasoi could hear footsteps behind him. ?What's going on out here?!? That was definitely the witch from before.


XinXin

?Well, then. Follow me.? Sakuya had regained her elegant composure, and led Mikan out of the room. She then took the girl down a new hallway. ?You have been assigned to this wing of the mansion. You are to clean every room in this hallway, along with the other maids.? She led Mikan through the long hallway. ?First off, your duster,? she said, handing the new maid a clump of feathers on a stick. ?Use this to dust off areas that can't be reached normally, or that shouldn't get wet. Use your better judgement on that.? They were now in front of a small door. Sakuya opened the door, which led to a massive closet, almost as big as the mess hall.

The closet was full of shelves with rags, buckets and soaps, and the walls were lined with mops and brooms. A few fairies could be seen trying to pick them up. ?Sweep the floor and take the dust into a garbage can, then mop that part of the floor. Dust surfaces before cleaning them. There's a sink in most of the rooms. Four parts water and one part soap for the mop, three parts water and one part soap for the rags. Don't go in the basement, ever. Any questions?? Sakuya turned back to the new maid, and asked the question only out of formality. She thought the procedure was simple enough.


Marokuu

Momiji's head appeared from the kitchen. ?Almost, give me just a second.? Her head disappeared, then she walked out a few seconds later. ?Okay, let's go.? She led the jellyfish back to the front of the house, then out into the busy village. Wolf and crow Tengu walked through the streets, talking to each other or just trying to get to their next destination. The odd pair attracted some interested stares from passers by, but Momiji payed them no mind. The village slowly grew denser with people as they headed deeper in, to the point where Momiji had to grab Ohuku's hand to make sure the jellyfish didn't get lost.

Eventually, the two reached a large palace. ?This is where the Great Tengu lives. I'll do most of the talking. Only speak if he addresses you, and show him the utmost respect.? In front of the palace was a large gate, guarded by two white wolf Tengu. They nodded at Momiji as she approached.

?Greetings, Miss Inubashiri. What is your business here today?? The one on the right was the first to speak.

?I need to speak to the Great Tengu about this one,? she said, gesturing to Ohuku. ?I found her at the river yesterday. She seems to be a newly born Youkai, so I would like to speak to the Great Tengu about  her living in the village.?

The gate opened, and the two tengu stepped out of the way. ?Of course.?

Momiji then led Ohuku through the palace. It wasn't nearly as ornate as one would expect, and in the end was more of a large house than anything else. Tenma couldn't afford an extravagant house because he spent all his money on Sake.


Berzul
(OOC: I have been informed that ghosts are actually warm, because they believe they are alive. Disregard the thing earlier about Yuyuko's hand being cold.)

Yuyuko put a finger on her chin in thought. ?Well, let's see... We eat, we float around... Um, I guess you could haunt people if you want, but that gets boring after awhile... Really, it's not much different from being alive, except that you don't have to worry about dieing. You can still feel pain, though.?


Sonae

The fairies continued to tussle. After a minute, they stopped, worn out. ?I'm telling you, it was my rice cracker...? the green one said between pants.

?No, it was mine...? the red one replied. They glared at each other, and stood up, before floating away from each other. ?Meanie!?

?You're a dumby face!? the green one called back.


German Flower Youkai

Satori sighed. ?All right, I think we have enough rooms. Orin, if you could-? she was cut off by Rin's transformation into a human.

?All right, all right. But I swear, if we have one more person stay over tonight...? Rin muttered under her breath, before turning to Hilde. ?Well, come along, then.? She led her down a long hallway, ten up a flight of stairs into another hallway. At the end of this was a room with the door open. Rin checked the room, then opened the door. ?Here ya go. Most of the rooms are occupied by pets, but we do have a few guest bedrooms. If that's all, I'll be going now.?

Sayuri tilts her head, not understanding what just happened between the two creatures. She turns and looks back at Futo who doesn't seem to be paying attention to her. She then looks up towards the sky.
An expanse of light blue spreads out above, spotted with wispy white things.
As the spirit gazes up at the sky she hears something in the bushes. She looks over to them with curiousity. Reluctantly, she slowly floats over.

Sayuri floated over to the bushes to find a large, purple umbrella and a blue haired girl. The girl was obviously sleeping, and the umbrella was probably sleeping if umbrellas could sleep. The girl was covered in the bushes, and Sayuri couldn't make out much apart from her head. Sayuri realized what she had heard; the girl was snoring. Not loudly and obnoxiously, but it was definitely snoring.

"...One of wh-" Arasoi sighed, the turtle was old. Maybe a little too old, and he was thinking that he was actually young. What a revelation. His back began flaring as Genji waved his head around and around, as if he was making himself dizzy. Arasoi pulled his hands forward, grabbing onto the turtle's shell. "I'm not here for you. Heck, I don't even really know why I'm here." Arasoi briefly imagined his life still in Makai. Fighting for his life, consuming demonic energies, being unable to sleep at night.

He turned, to see the faeries looking at him, along with voices from further away. One was the witch. Arasoi sighed, and began walking towards the direction of the blonde witch's voice. His spikes and horns flared with lightning and might.

Sayuri tilted her head curiously and wondered why a girl was sleeping in the bushes. She glanced at Futo who wasn't paying them any mind, then turned back to the girl. Slowly, the spirit drifted closer till she was just infront of the sleeping girl. As she examined the girl, she saw she had short hair, leaving her neck slightly exposed.
Sayuri moved to the side slightly, and poked her neck.

(Ok.. noted....)

"I seeee.... *She puts a finger on her chin in similar way*"

Seeing that this conversations has opened to her options, being a ghost and everything, she would now simply forget what she was doing in the netherworld in the first place. Thus she pondered about what to do next, she wasn't quite sure..

"umm.. Yuyuko-Sama, um... " She realised that being a ghost must be very boring, the way it was descried to her. It has made her lose interest in Yuyuko, simply because there was no other topics she could converse with her. After a while she would simply start floating around again, thinking...

"No, no questions." Mikan was simply too dazed by the fact that she had to do cleaning. As the maid left the room, she grabbed what she needed and headed back out to the hallway. Why did it have to be so wide? She decided that she should start slowly, steadily, and make sure that she did it right. Mikan entered the first room, which was full of fairies. They all seemed to be dutifully wiping a spot each. Perhaps, with their help, she would be able to finish this quickly. She prepared her broom, time to start work!

Five minutes later, the floor was cleaned of rubbish and dust.

Mikan prepared her mop, four parts water and one part soap. It was time to finish up this room.

Ten minutes later, the floor was all done, neat and clean. She could get used to this. Mikan looked at the fairies.

None of them had moved so much more than a millimeter from where they were. They were all cleaning the exact same spot that they were before.

...

Mikan recalled the wide hallway.

Ohuku didn't like how many people there was in the village now during the day. She stuck close to Momiji all the way and didn't object when she grabbed her hand. When Momiji spoke to her she simply nodded.

She relaxed when they went inside again, for some reason the hallways of the palace felt more spacious than the crowded streets of the village, the fact that it wasn't very grandiose didn't make much of a difference to her.

While they were walking she realized that she had to ask something "Ehm, How do I show him utmost respect? I don't think I have done that before." She thought for a second. "And what was your name again?"

That Cat is quite direct. It may come from living with a mindreader I guess.
"Thank you very much." The cat waited for these words to leave. She closed the door.
Hilde took a look around. The room was quite small. It had a bed, a small table with 2 chairs and a bookcase. Not many books where in it.
It also had a window, the window was directed into the courtyard. Hilde saw a big hole in the courtyard...
Hilde turned away from the window, she leaned the helbard against the table and took of her armor.
She inspected herself and did some stretching to see if everything on her body is recovered. Then she laid herself onto the bed and closed her eye's.

For lack of a better thing to say, she just plopped down and started fiddling around with the various blades scattered on the ground.
"Magpies are annoying, they're always after my treasure!"
She then sighs for a moment. "And don't get me started on foxes, always after my cheese! Delicious cheese...."
'What's ravioli?'
'Is communism something you eat?'
'Don't get mad, make lemonade!'
'Throw stuff at the wall, and see what sticks!'
Such a strange way of thinking, but its her way.
...even though she's not exactly sure what she should be called.

Youkei Jesus

Soon, the witch and Mima appeared. ?Alright, what the heck's going on over here??

?He's crazy! This kid is trying to take me, just like they took Miss Reimu!? Genji cried.

Marisa grinned, and took out a strange octagon. ?I see. So, you're one of the ones who took Reimu, ze??

Mima put a hand on Marisa's shoulder. ?Hold on, it's not-?

BGM: Ordinary Conviction

Marisa just ignored her, and soared up on her broom. ?Hmph! You got Reimu by surprise, but I'm ready for you, ze! I'll make you pay, and I'll make you bring her back! Just you wait!? She raised a small card in the sky. ?Magic Sign: Stardust Reverie!?

Stars began flying out of Marisa in a spiral. Mima called out to Arasoi. ?Arasoi! I can explain more later, but whatever you do, don't let her hit you! Try to focus your energy and make that stuff, and fire it back at her!?

?Dammit Mima, stop helping the bad guy!? Marisa called from her broom as she threw a lampshade at the evil spirit. Where did she get that from?

(OOC: Woo, first battle. Was planning on it being someone else first, but you beat them to the punch. For the record, Arasoi's attempts at making danmaku will be successful, but nothing too terribly spectacular. As far as what kind he makes, that's up to you. This applies to everyone once they get into their first battles.)


Sonae

?URAMESHIYAAAA!!!!?

The girl jolted awake, confused and startled. Futo looked over in shock. ?What are the goings on??

The girl slowly drifted to the ground, panting. ?S-so cold... What was that for?? She was rubbing the spot where Sayuri had poked her. The umbrella was also visibly distressed.


Berzul

Yuyuko watched the poltergeist leave. ?What an odd girl. Didn't even say goodbye.? She shrugged, and turned towards the house at the middle of the land. A girl with white hair stepped out from behind a nearby tree. ?So, do you think it's her??

?Well, it did say Yoshika...? the girl replied.

?Did it? I must have forgotten~? Yuyuko said in response. ?Anyway, you should go talk to our new guest, since you'll be accompanying her tomorrow~?

The white haired girl nodded, and started walking over to Yoshika. Yuyuko watched her go, then headed inside the house. ?Time for a snack~?

---

?Hold up a second.? Yoshika turned around to see a girl with white hair walking towards her. ?You're Yoshika, right? Um, the name's Youmu Konpaku and Myon.? A white ghost could be seen floating behind her. ?I just figured I should, you know, say hi. I'm the gardener here.?


Sourdang and GuardianTempest

Byakuren shrugged. ?Well, since we only just took you in, of course you don't necessarily have to help with those things. If you plan on staying here, however, that would be appreciated. Most of us are disciples of Bishamonten, though it's not a requirement. But aside from that, I'm afraid there isn't much...?

?There are enough of us here that most of the work gets done already,? Shou elaborated. ?There's not much to do anyway, unless you do decide to become a disciple of Bishamonten.?

?I could always use a hand with the cleaning, though...? Kyouko interjected. ?Not that I mind, but it would get done a lot faster if we had more people doing it at once!? Kyouko smiled at this.

?We could also use a new cook...? Nazrin added. Kyouko looked hurt.

?W-well, if you could use help with cleaning, surely help with cooking wouldn't hurt!? Byakuren said, trying to cover up for Nazrin's rudeness.


XinXin

The vast hallway stretched before her. It was wide, and daunting. None of the fairies moved from their spots; a few of them weren't even cleaning, and were simply talking amongst themselves. Mikan couldn't help but wonder how the cleaning even got done with all the maids like this. A few of the maids were looking at her surprised that she had actually done some cleaning. It felt a bit satisfying to get the cleaning done, and the other fairies obviously weren't going to help...


Marokuu

Momiji stopped walking. ?Um... how do I put it... Just be polite, I guess. And don't ask him questions like that... It's Momiji, by the way. Momiji Inubashiri.? They resumed walking, and were soon in front of a large set of double doors, guarded by twice as many Tengu as the gate out front.

One of te Tengu closes to the pair nodded at Momiji. ?The Great Tengu will see you now.? The two guards closer to the doors opened them, and Momiji led Ohuku inside.

The room was fairly simple, with maps hanging from the walls and a door in the back. The room had four more guards on the inside. Sitting on a raised cushion before them was a man who radiated confidence. He looked to be halfway though his life for a Tengu, though his face was mostly clear of wrinkles. He eyed the two Youkai as they entered, focusing specifically on Ohuku. Momiji bowed deeply and assumed the seiza position, urging Ohuku to do the same.

The duo sat in silence for a few seconds. Finally, the man before them spoke up, ruffling his feathers. ?So. Inubashiri. This is the newborn you mentioned in your report? Miss Sushikisu, I believe??

?Yes, Great Tengu. I found her falling from the waterfall yesterday, and have provided her lodgings at my own house.? Momiji replied, her voice steady and confident.

?I see. And you request to have her inducted as a member of our village??

?That is what I request.?

The Great Tengu furrowed his brow, and silence reigned for a few more seconds. Finally, he spoke up. ?Now, understand that under normal circumstances, non-Tengu are not to be considered more than guests in our village.? A frown slowly crept over Momiji's face. ?...However, these are not normal circumstances. I am afraid the two of you will soon be caught up in some unpleasant affairs, and the full support of the Tengu has been requested. As we cannot spare the full force for now, the two of you shall be our representatives, and of course I cannot send a foreigner as a representative.?

?S-sir?? Momiji was a bit startled. ?Unpleasant affairs??

The Great Tengu nodded. ?I will spare you the details for now. Talk of war is not meant for the ears of children, and I doubt it would do her any good. You are free to leave, Miss Sushikisu. Inubashiri, you are to stay behind. I have a few matters to discuss with you.?

Momiji nodded. ?Of course, my Lord.?

?Guards, please escort our new citizen out of the palace.? A slight smile could be seen on his face.

One of the guards turned to Ohuku. ?Are you ready, then??


Crow Cakes
(OOC: She was, until now. I was waiting for GFY to finish up.)

Chiseki slowly awoke. It was just as dark as it had previously been; she did not know how much time had passed. She slowly lumbered out of bed, and out of her room. She could somewhat remember the path she had taken last night, and soon arrived in the same room from last night. Satori and Orin were nowhere in sight. In fact, the room was completely empty. ?Morning.? Or not.

Chiseki turned to see a girl with grey hair and a yellow vest staring at her. The girl had a purple orb floating in front of her, connected to her by cords much like Chiseki's and Satori's, but it did not have a visible eye on it. ?You're a new face. You one of the ones big sis was talking about this morning??


German Flower Youkai

As Hilde drifted to sleep, she heard the cat mutter something under her breath. Or was it the cat?

---

Hilde opened her eyes. The room was dark, but she knew she had been asleep. She rose out of bed, checking to make sure nothing had changed. She thought she could remember the way back to the room she had spoken to Satori in the night before; it was a fairly simple path.


Hanzo

The other girl considered this. ?Cheese, huh... I prefer Radon. Meat's good, too.? She plopped down next to the other girl. ?Hey, wanna see something cool?? She held out that weird stick arm, and a ball of light soon began forming at the tip. ?Don;t touch it though, it's really hot.?

Sayuri jumped back, surprised SUCESS by the girl's sudden outburst. She blinked a few times, confused. As the blue haired girl rubbed her neck, Sayuri looked at her hand, then back at the girl, then to the umbrella.
Upon seeing the umbrella visibly distressed, she tilted her head once more in confusion.
"What's Ura....meshiya?" She asked the girl. "Why does that purple thing make expressions? And why are you sleeping out here in the cold? Don't you have a bed?" Sayuri starts to ask her questions. As she looks at the girls face she notices she has one red eye, and one blue. Slowly, the spirit extends her hand again to poke the girl's face.

Yuyuko watched the poltergeist leave. ?What an odd girl. Didn't even say goodbye.? She shrugged, and turned towards the house at the middle of the land. A girl with white hair stepped out from behind a nearby tree. ?So, do you think it's her??

?Well, it did say Yoshika...? the girl replied.

?Did it? I must have forgotten~? Yuyuko said in response. ?Anyway, you should go talk to our new guest, since you'll be accompanying her tomorrow~?

The white haired girl nodded, and started walking over to Yoshika. Yuyuko watched her go, then headed inside the house. ?Time for a snack~?

---

?Hold up a second.? Yoshika turned around to see a girl with white hair walking towards her. ?You're Yoshika, right? Um, the name's Youmu Konpaku and Myon.? A white ghost could be seen floating behind her. ?I just figured I should, you know, say hi. I'm the gardener here.?

"Um.. hey there, my name is Yoshiko Namakura, and it's my pleasure to meet you... both..." She appears to be kinda confused to why a ghost introduced another ghost that was following him around.

"It's sure nice to talk with some ghosts from time to time, isn't it?" *Smile*

(lets see if my post doesn't get cut off by  an update forum this time.)

Sparkler pulls out the bamboo she was working on, sending it in the direction of tewi's face. She then instantly turn around smiling. "Why?" Sparkler was newborn, innocent, fairy, she wanted to know everything.  As such, whatever twei would answer with, she want to know more, and ask why again. All while continuing to fill the whole.

(think a kid going "why?.....why?.....why?" over and over again annoying, only she doing it innocently)
"there is a Fine line between genius and insanity. I see it every day running screaming past it with scissors."

"It's just what I say," the girl said, as she moved Sayuri's finger away. She immediately regretted her decision, and began rubbing her hands together. "And this 'purple thing' is me. This girl is just a spiritual extension of myself."

"Ah, I see. I take it thou art the karakasa I hath heard of?" Futo asked, walking over.

"Yup~ I'm the cutest karaksa, and the scariest!" the girl said, sticking her tongue out.

"I... guess you could say that..." the girl agreed, reluctantly. "I mean, there are a lot of ghosts here, so you get used to it after awhile..." She yawned, and scratched behind her head. "Anyway, I'm the gardener around here, so I know my way around. If you need help with anything, just talk to me, I guess. Lady Saigyouji can be a bit difficult to approach at times..."

Tewi caught the bamboo, and scowled. "Because it's not yours, kid. We use this bamboo, and even if we didn't you're wasting it by burning it like this. You have no right to just go through and take it like this." Tewi was obviously becoming annoyed; her ear was twitching, and she was tapping her foot rapidly. "Now, I don't want to have to tell you off again, so just stop it, all right?"

"Hmmm I see.. How long have you two been here for?" She then quickly adds "So you know your where around here? Could you... *Shy* Give a tour? I get lost in this place so easily..."
