Following close behind Yue noticed much of the halls were poorly looked after. At least compared with the usual cleanly and well maintained college.
She appraised the slovenly man they ran into as if ready to pass judgement, should he be the thief. Her eyes narrowed as she took in his features...
Yue watched Aiko cast the protection charm. A very practical decision.
She pushed through to follow.
They both inspected the tapestry a bit closer. It seemed Aiko had no more idea what this place might be than she did. Yue inspected the hall with more scrutiny than before. It was easier to see...
She had slowly risen to her feet ready to continue fighting tooth and nail. The world had gone a bit blurry at the edges. Yue suspected it was only her boiling anger keeping her upright.
Then in a shimmering spectacle suddenly surrounded her. It's iridescent splendor causing chaos and confusion...
Yue watched the others inspect the potion as well. Her eyes following Aiko as she sniffed the vial and expressed disgust. While unpleasant it could be an important clue.....or it could be another attempt to through them off the trail.
"....It could be that a more pungent ingredient was thrown in...
Yue's brow furrowed as she inspected the newly uncovered entryway. She couldn't tell what to make of the tapestry beyond just yet. It's words legible but the meaning escaping her. She could tell they had stumbled on some secret gathering space. She wasn't so familiar with the college's...
They stalked out their only lead with diligence. But unfortunately found themselves with a dead end yet again. What to do? She made a small thoughtful noise in response.
Yue eyed the surroundings where the droplets had stopped with a keen eye. Then she quietly removed her hairpin. She closed one...
Yue hesitated, not wanting to be so bold as to invite herself along. Then again she really did think it was best if this nuisance was dealt with. The not so subtle looks that some students gave Aiko hadn't escaped Yue's notice. Perhaps Aiko was extending the chance for Yue to avoid getting...
Yue blew on the hot mug and took a tentative sip. It still scalded her tongue despite her efforts. She wrinkled her nose a bit. It was deeply bitter as she could have guessed based on the way they had been offered cream. Her general assessment of the taste was that it was fine. There was a...
There was a pause as Calixtus accusation rang out. Slowly she lifted a hand to point at her own nose.... me?
She cringed inwardly, she should have known it would be taken that way. She was already well used to being suspected of ill will. Ah. Svenia Albrecht was glaring at her again. But how...
It was just a tad rude to whistle when in fact she hadn't gone very far.
It was the proper thing to do for Atticus to assist Svenia, so she decided to let the annoyance slide.
She hadn't paid much attention to Svenia Albrecht 's subtle limp until now. Only now that she saw the girl leaning on...
Yue's displeased frown deepened. Unless their goal had been to dispose of the notes purposefully, then she deduced that perhaps their thief had noticed the spell. Caught off guard they had disposed of it quickly to avoid being caught. That was only moments ago....there was chance yet that the...
There was something almost comforting about this kind of menial work. Yue was not a girl of manual labor by any means. She did not enjoy being made to do what was essentially free service for the college and the city. Even so there was a kind of nostalgia in it. If her old Teacher in the steps...
Yue did silently inspect the offerings for a moment but ultimately she vaguely gave up on deciphering them. When the being turned to her for her order she gestured half heartedly at Svenia Albrecht
"I'll have the same." At least she knew what she was in for from the girls' description.
She...
Strength, hm? Then jade certainly wouldn't cut it. Jade was a dignified but soft stone. As she considered how to proceed she heard Calixtus' whispered frustration.
She quietly listened to Aiko and nodded in an impartial sort of agreement. That wasn't how she had done it but it seemed like good...
Yue's eyes slowly moved from Aiko back to the book. Oh. It was her notebook. Well that cleared things up a little. She returned her sharp gaze to the elf and shook her head.
"I was a moment too late.....I had come to see who was bothering the koi...." It would seem the culprit had made their...
