"Your confessions of lewdity aside, I trust the message has gotten across, so as Polyion has said, we'll take our leave."


As they left and the door shut behind them:
"I think that went well. Good work."

"Innocence? I'm not naive, Polyion. I know couples spend time holding hands, and private hugs, and the like."
She gave her sternest gaze to the two heads of the Union.
"But if you two aren't doing anything, then there's no reason for things not to get done! There's no excuse for not working your hardest, even if you do want to sit together and play with tape!"
"Besides, it's probably bad form to use academy office materials for playing around."

"I apologise, but it is my turn to be mysterious."
"I did not intend to speak that out loud; some things are best forgotten from the world at large."
"They can be terribly troublesome in the wrong hands."

The cat put her hands on her hips.
"Is what odd but unsurprising?"

"Well, to be honest, I was just planning on laying the situation out clearly. We don't know what is the root of this problem, but it's something that needs to be handled, and if they have a care for their position, they'll work past their differences for the betterment of the Academy. So, something like..." Reeve explained, clearing her throat as she and Cattleya walked before taking a more authoritarian tone,


"Excuse me, Union President and Vice-President. As you know, I am Reeve Von Anextra Polyion the Third, and due to anonymous rumors and requests, I have taken it upon myself to come to you and handle an issue you two are struggling with. Specifically, the issue that's preventing you from accomplishing your duties, stemming from what I believe is an innate disagreement between you. Therefor, as a representative of the collective opinion of the Academy, I am pleased to assist you both in settling that disagreement."


"How does that sound?"

"What am I, dropped kibble?"
"I'm here to help as well."
"Besides, better to just say you were asked to do it, rather than taking it upon yourself. Sounds less like you're a just stuck-up dummy and more like a friendly, approachable... undummy."

She stopped talking as they arrived and pushed open the door to see...

-lewdity-

"This.....this is official Union business!"

One thing that was true about Cattleya Chatgéant was that her pampered upbringing had left her rather sheltered in certain matters. Thus, rather than backing out, she merely stepped in to the room.

"Official business? What are you doing?"
She flicked her ears curiously and stepped closer.
"If you're trying to tape something up, I can't imagine being on top of each will help."

At Cattleya's words, Reeve froze midstep, turning her head to see where the Felis swordswoman was pointing, and upon doing so, turned back around and continued her march in the proper direction,


"Of course, I knew that."

"Of course," she drawled.
The little cat giggled, and her tail flicked with amusement.
"You do realise it isn't that direction either?"

"Could always use a spotter. Besides, I train with Alicia all the time."
Idunn points behind her with her thumb towards the tiny squirrel girl currently performing push-ups, her massive, fluffy tail obscuring most of her from view.

"That's true, I suppose."
She looked at the other small girl and took solidarity from having another member of the vertically challenged club here - though it wasn't that she was small. It's just lots of people were too tall.
"Then let's train together! I'll show you the might of the Chatgéant line!"
"Even if you're a billion miles tall, I won't lose!"

"That's NOT what's going on here, Chatgeant!

"Ah, I see. Again, I don't consider them being attracted to be wholly the correct answer, only that it's a possibility. Seeing as how I'm not a member of the Union, I don't know the two well enough to make an informed decision."


"But I do believe that the possibility Sloane brings up is a bit more hopeful, because it's far easier to handle them bickering like lovers, rather than bickering because they simply hate each other."

"If they were feeding each other cake, that seems pretty clear cut."
"If someone I didn't like tried taking my cake..."
  "...They would perish."
