"Well that was damned wierd."
She yanked off her helm and pulled down her coif, running a hand through short hair.
"I guess you did alright, Lucas."
"He ain't likely to come back, right? Since it didn't stick the first time he croaked."

[Trainning Room]

Astrea kept silent. Something about Theodora trying to explain something that was obvious to her almost felt like she was rubbing salt into the wound. Not that the angelic knight will hold it against her, since it seems like she was only trying to help her out with pointers. "No, that will be all. I'm sorry for wasting your time."

"If it helps, it makes me feel better watching other people get their tail kicked as well."

"Grass is greener and all that, Chatgeant. All my Arte does is make me tougher if I get roughed up."

"Heh. If only we could combine our Artes. If I got tougher as I got hurt, I'd be invincible after using my Arte."

---Training Room---

Flat on her back, Cattleya scowled.
"Darn it. Fluffing darn! Heck!"
Her tail lashed against the ground in frustration.
"Urgh. I didn't even touch you."
She gave a look to the new girl, briefly wondering how on earth she actually saw with a chunk of metal covering her eyes.
"Don't worry, " she groused. "If it's anything like us, you won't delay her at all."

---Sauna---
"I don't imagine my trick will work as well a second time, though."
She let out a long sigh.
"It must be nice to have an arte that doesn't blow you up as well."

---Training Room---

"Oh, it'll be over quick alright."
She took up one of the training zweihanders, and made a stance.
"Let's go! "
Spar!

Cattleya gave a little smile, aiming for smug and coming more as tired.
"Well, it wasn't really your fault. All bunched up like that, it was pretty perfect for my Arte. If you'd had a bit more room to manevour..." Her smile grew a bit more mischievous. "Maybe you would lasted another couple of minutes."


---Dining Room---

Catt, for her part, was not contributing to the meal. She was, however, waiting by dozing at one the tables, ear flicking in her sleep occasionally while she waited for it to be ready.

---Training Room---

After her visit to the sauna to steam away the aches in her muscles, she decided to go to the training rooms - mostly because she hadn't even swung her sword in that last bout.

She'd just exploded. Twice.

As she entered, she saw Orrel and Theodora and nodded greetings.

"Oh, are you two about to spar?"

After the meal, and a good long sleep, Cattleya decided to melt away any remaining soreness in the sauna

Perhaps, she thought while she was there, there were some new method of increasing her resistance to magic, and thus perhaps damage from her own arte? She would have to look it up in the library.

1 Point in visiting the sauna
2 points in library for RES
2 points in training rooms for DEF

Cattleya let out a surprised sound as Rika easily picked her up.
"Nyaah?!"
"I could have walked," she protested, awkward and embarrassed at being picked up like a kid.
She was quiet for a second, then muttered.
"_{... I want fish.}"
