Lance Would Cough, Trying To Explain What It Was To Her...his Hands Absentmindedly Trying To Measure

Lance would cough, trying to explain what it was to her...his hands absentmindedly trying to measure as he did math in his head. He'd turn to her after he figured a way that she'd understand. "It's like a portable canon you can take anywhere and it's not heavy."

The demon would shake his head. "I've yet to find love I feel...substantial- I want to love to love, not to just make a child. I want someone who challenges me and I get along with, someone who will stay with me after, who will love me more for than jsut my power and wealth...of course my parents don't agree..." He looked himself over. "Sides I am only of twenty-four years, I'd like more time to find that special someone I hear tales of." His look soured, thinking of how his mother tired oh so hard to force a relationship with a fan that was willing to give herself to him, but...it wasn't right.

He was happy she decided to share so much of herself with him, and share in return- even if sad it was still something. Sad. Sad that she couldn't remember her children's names, it must of been terribly traumatic.

"Indeed, the one thing I remember of my youth, was my parents together making spicy curry and sharing amongst each other; it is one passion we all share." He was glad that she enjoyed the sweet, even if it couldn't fix everything it could at least help the body. "How about this? Since you're coming to aid me, why don't we try finding ways to remember your family? Perhaps things can jog your memory?"

Sothis stared blankly at Lance. Half of what he said made sense. The other.. not so much. Unicorn? A rifle? What? No she knew what a unicorn was - an extinct variant of horse. As for the sniper rifle.. “What’s a.. rifle?” She knew what a sniper was, a type of class of archer. Something she considered herself to be. “Never heard of that before.”

A small pause. Powerful family, have children soon as possible? That’s almost similar to how nobles thought these days. Find suitable matches, make heirs, hope there’s a crest. Which was it her intent from the start. Oh how the humans have ruined her gift for mankind! Small bubbles of anger arose but she swallowed them down. No need to get angry - yet. “Have you.. followed that path yet?” He hadn’t mentioned having any children of his own. It wasn’t her business of course but she’s curious. Oh so dreadfully curious.

Sothis put a spoonful of her sorbet into her mouth. There’s the shock. Most people are surprised to hear just how many children she’s had but wasn’t it told in history? Though.. most crests and names have been lost, from what she could tell, such as the children themselves.. “Hm.. I feel I do not bear the most weight as I don’t remember any of it. Yes the effects are still crushing but.. I can only recall a few of the names..” Brows furrowed and she briefly stopped her consummation of the sweet treat. No, try as she might, it’ll only bring headaches on. Curse amnesia!

“You got it for me?” A blink. That made her feel better in terms of eating it, so she shall, before it melts! “You enjoy spicy as well? Wonderful! A few can handle the heat here but I have yet to come across another who shares the same intake as I.”

He was already digging in, it's popular eh? He could understand why, it was good, the flavor profile was prefect, he thinks he might have a new favorite! He'd nod to her. "Indeed, my family is normally busy...we are also raised to defend several points around our home- so we're usually at those locations." He had his team that worked with him, but he never ate with them.

He'd look up, someone to eat with here. He suppose he was eating with her, a smile would grace his lips. "Do you normally eat with someone?" Maybe one of her allies could join them at some point, he'd love to learn more about this place while stuck here. he'd silently thank her, so she could enjoy her food without pause before segmenting off parts of his.

He'd spare a little and spoonful some and offer for her to try it. "Would you like to try some?" He wasn't aware of what he was doing. Accidently looking like he was feeding a lover, he was just trying to be

“Oh! A popular dish. I haven’t had one before. There’s meat inside, but the cheese is pretty good,” she told him with a nod. Regardless it smelled good like most other dishes, and she’s heard good reviews. After all, least half the students enjoyed it. So it really can’t be too bad, right?

”You normally eat alone?” So frowned at that. Some favorite being alone, yes, but eating was one of those moments best shared in company! It could be an intimate moment. “Well worry not! You can always find a companion to dine with. There’s always someone here. Either prepping or baking or simply taking a snack.” Like her with the latter.

But before she went to sit down, she added a bowl of fruit so it wasn’t just sweets shes delving in. Sothis finds a seat, kind of away from everyone, with a spot beside her for Lance. And she delved in the fruit.

Now that he thought about it, it wasn't unusual for him to get gawked at, back home he seemed to have earned many woman's affection - though he didn't seem to know why. He was so focused on protection that he didn't realize the looks he got till now. Still as obvious as ever, he brushed it off as maybe looking tired.

He walked with her...or rather against her since she was hovering, her pace quickened when they got closer, reminded him of his little sister, it made him smile; she also loved food and sweets.

"That's a good question; I heard a student mention 'Gautier Cheese Gratin'? That sounds tasty." He wondered if they had any, and luckily they did! He'd thank the people who gave it to him with a deep bow, something his parents instilled in him as nobility. "This is refreshing, I normally eat alone. So I scant get the chance to eat among people." His parents normally ate in their own room, and his sister was at a hunter academy, not to mention his grandparents and cousins as well; so it was lonely. His tail wagged excited to share this.

“Huh? No, I don’t see anything in your face. Nothing out of the ordinary.” He was just pretty. Did he not like being looked at? Or rather, stared at? Probably not. She’ll try not to do so in the future. Half the time she just.. stares without realizing.

Sothis quickened her pace the closer they came to the dining hall. She’d smelled the aroma from far away and it’s then she realized she hadn’t eaten all day. Which didn’t matter, she didn’t need to eat. But she enjoyed the concept, the act of it. Especially if there were delicious scents accompanying it.

The students chatter once again didn’t deter her at all. She heard them, but it’s like static. So glanced over at Lance with a smile and indeed they got sorbet! She picked up a bowlful. “What were you thinking of getting? There’s plenty of options. They rotate on the daily.”

Her fascination with his tail was a bit, embarrassing. Despite his unchanging face his cheeks still darkened. "...Ahem, if you are don't ogling it." He'd hide it under his long coat before clearing his throat.

"No." He was firm before bowing, one hand under his torso. "I plan to finish things here, he is a constant thorn in my family's side and to protect the younger members, I plan on annihilating him here." He'd turn towards the sky looking once more.

"He cannot leave without everything he brings with him, including people- he is trapped." He started walking off in a random direction, he didn't know where he was going, and now he was talking around the monastery getting stuck- going down the same hallways several times.

Very unbefitting for the demon of vacuo.

Since the bird was gone, there was new thing to focus on - his tail. Emerald hues focused on the gentle swish, following every single movement. The collective chatter of the students didn’t deter or hinder her focus. Not too much, anyway.

Sothis picked up on the various voices, some she can easily tell who’s who, but her head tilted. Crest? No. This man didn’t have one. He didnt smell of one. But he did smell of something else. What, she didn’t know. Yet.

Vacuo - didn’t seem familiar at all. Yet she perked up at the mention of portals. “Oh! You can catch this fellow but I can send you back home if you’d like,” So offered up. After all it was one of her specialties.

She was an odd one to say the least.

He'd assure her that the young girl was healing from a migraine. She just needed rest, sometimes Semblances came with odd or slightly negative side effects- it was rare to get powerful ones, and when people did, they did their best to keep them powerful.

"My family is noble, we earned it by protecting our home however-we fight monsters and bandits to protect our home." He'd respond showing her the nation- the desert that had oasis's dotted all along it, as well as cities and people.

He looked at it with pride before sitting on Falcor. He was also surprised by her brazen use of words. He'd cough into his hand to shake off the stun. "I assure you, you have been quite fair with your attitude, again you look agast- we'll-"

She passed out! He didn't know if she was injured, but they had healers back home.

"Falcor go!" And with a beat of his mighty wings, his summoned companion would dart off like a shooting star. And he'd carry her off to the medical wing, with the healers.

"Svetza? Miss Svetza? Are you okay?" They were in a guest room, overly lavish red, golds and greens lined the room- besides the worried faunus, was a towel and bathrobe. and in his hand was covered dish of food. "My cousin made you some Roast pheasant- with stir fry vegetables- and apple pie." He'd set it down infront of her. "We didn't know what you'd like to drink so we just got you water, but lemme know if you have anything you prefer."

Taking her for help? Was she really that bad off? I mean exhausted sure but a meal, some sleep and a bath would fix her. She was about to dismiss him and gripe for more answers but he was persistent. Slipping a jacket on her and hurrying her away from what she could see were children. Her ears perked and brain cleared when he mentioned the young girl.

“She alright? I can help, im a mage. I know some basic healing spells, incantations and I have a potion or two in my pack.” She should have probably used them on herself. But that didn’t seem to be an option as he summoned a fuck ass big owl.

“Palace? What you a royal?” She looked at him suspiciously and grumbled. She just TOOK a job for a royal now she was gonna deal with another one? Wait. Guest? Food and a bath. That sounded nice.

“Svetza Ouijew, never heard of this place or your family. Its for sure jot one of the three kingdoms of my island. But that aint a problem.” She sighs, lies across the owl and goes mostly limp. “So I wasn’t summoned, it was an accident. Got it.” She groans.

“Thanks for helping, sorry for being a bitch. Im hungry and exhausted and gross. Sorry owl you’ll need a good washing after carrying me.” She pats the creature, eyes heavy.

“Just kick me awake when we get there.” And she promptly passes out.
