Sorry for the holdup. I just didn't know what I wanted to do with this story.
Sonea: "You were just lazy."
Me: "No, I…"
Louise: "Yes you were. Gaming but not writing?"
Me: "But, I REALLY didn't know what I wanted to do."
Sonea & Louise: "Sure, and we're blonde."
Me: "Just do a disclaimer!"
Sonea: " Termia owns nothing but the plot of this story."
Louise: "She also wants to thank everyone for their endless patience with her and hopes they will continue reading."
Sonea: "And so do we, as we're in the story."
Me: "Okay, enough. Enjoy all!"
Though Sonea wondered why Guiche didn't want to spar anymore, she accepted it. This mainly came because she wanted to know the dangers around Louise. She knew nothing about this place, or it's dangers. If she wanted to protect Louise properly, she would have to know more. At this moment she knew she was at a school. She also knew that because of the mark on her hand, she was stuck. Of course, the contract she accepted made sure she wouldn't leave anyway. That is, without Louise, as Sonea accepted to protect Louise.
"Well, let's go inside. It's getting quite late." Louise said, interrupting Sonea's train of thought.
"Sure. You show the way Louise." Sonea answered. Louise just nodded and started walking, Sonea following closely. They entered the tower in the center of the area and went up a lot of stairs. Eventually they reached a room that Louise claimed as her own. It was simple, for noble standards, but it was still luxurious for a dorm room. There was a bed, a desk and a closet. In the middle of the room stood a table with a few chairs (watch the anime if you want to know more specifically… I'm to lazy to describe it perfectly).
"So you live here Louise?" Sonea asked. The room didn't look like Louise spent a lot of time in it.
"During school time yes. In holidays I go home." Louise answered, a bit annoyed. What else could she do then live in this room? It was big enough for her. Sure, she spent more time outside, but the weather was good these days. She would hate it to sit inside the whole day, just so she can say she uses her room as much as possible.
"Well, it looks nice." Sonea said, not wanting to be rude. Louise probably had a reason not to be inside to often. "I just see one problem." Sonea continued.
"And what might that be?" Louise snapped, clearly annoyed.
"There is only one bed." Sonea said, stating the obvious.
"Well, a mage usually summons a mythical being or an animal with the ritual. As they don't need a bed of their own, we only get one. Most familiars don't mind sleeping on the floor anyway." Louise answered. She did understand Sonea's concern though. Not even commoners slept on the floor. Even the poorest commoner put something on the floor. And if a person was pregnant, the floor was no option at all. Sonea was thinking the same as Louise, though she already had a solution. She wanted to know if Louise would think of a solution as well though.
"Well, I understand that. But I'm not an animal, as you can see." Sonea said. She saw Louise's eye twitch and knew she was annoying her new 'master'.
"Do you have an solution then? I won't get a different room with two beds, or another bed to place in this room. The room you see are all the accommodations the school offers, aside from lessons and meals." Louise said, getting angry at her unruly familiar. She wouldn't use magic to soon on Sonea, as she had seen what happened then, but she was going to train her. She would learn to act like a servant, instead of trying to be the noble.
"I understand that Louise. I'm not asking you to do something you deem impossible either." Sonea said, calming Louise down again. She had read Louise's personality quite well already. As long as she acted like a servant, Louise would be very reasonable. Besides, Sonea had a solution at hand. She just hoped Louise would think of something herself. Louise was supposed to take care of her, and in return Sonea would protect her from dangers.
"I would do something if I knew what Sonea." Louise said, thinking about solutions. She was responsible for Sonea now, and this was a problem.
"If you'd like, I have a solution." Sonea said, so Louise wouldn't have to think to much about this. She knew how hard it was to think about solutions for something you weren't familiar with.
"What might that be then?" Louise said, genuinely curious.
"I can make two beds out of the one you have. One smaller for me, a bigger one for you." Sonea said. "You said you can't ask for a second bed, but did anyone say anything about making your own?"
"But, to do that you'd have to be a triangle mage at least. Are you sure you can do that?" Louise asked. She was worried she would have no bed to sleep on anymore.
"Of course I'm certain I can do that. Otherwise I wouldn't suggest doing it Louise. I'm asking you to trust me with this. If you don't want to do this, you'll need to think of a different solution." Sonea said, making sure Louise could make the decision.
"Well, okay then. I'll trust you with this Sonea." Louise said. "I just hope it doesn't go wrong."
"Don't worry Louise. The materials are here already, it's just a matter of separating and putting together. It's way more easy then making something out of nothing." Sonea said. She smiled comforting to Louise before she started concentrating on her magic. After a short amount of time she had completed the making of the two beds. One small, for herself, and one pretty big, for Louise. Both had the same structure Louise's old bed had, so Louise would feel comfortable.
"Wow, you really did it." Louise said in awe. "And without casting a spell. I'm certain I have the most powerful familiar now. Anyway, it's time for dinner. Let's go Sonea." Sonea smiled when she followed Louise. She knew the girl wouldn't make a huge scene anymore. Maybe she could learn her some defensive spells, so she wouldn't have to worry to much about Louise's wellbeing.
The dining hall was really superb. It was big, with several long tables. Louise went to one of them and sat down. Sonea, not sure what the right etiquette were for familiars, stayed standing behind Louise. When she looked around she saw she was the only familiar in the room.
"Louise, where are the other familiars?" She asked, her curiosity winning over her desire to sit down.
"Familiars usually aren't allowed in the dining room. Well, it's more that the masters don't want them in, as they have really bad table manners. You're welcome because I tell you so." Louise answered. "By the way, I asked my teacher on the way in, and you're allowed to sit at the table. I asked because it didn't seem right to let you sit on the floor, or to let you stand for a long while." Louise said, making it sound like a privilege. It probably was a privilege for familiars. Sonea sat down next to Louise, not really relaxing but happy to be sitting for a bit.
Yes, Louise can be friendly if she wants to.
Louise: "And you have to update more."
Sonea: "Indeed, I wanna know what happens."
Louise: "Me too, as this is quite absurd.
Me: "Calm down you two, I will write further on this story. Just give me a bit of time so I can think about what happens next okay?"
Louise & Sonea: "Fine, but we'll know if you game again."
Me: "Fine, okay, you win."
Kirche: "And I will appear."
Me: "Dunno where you came from… but anyway: please review people, I love reviews, all reviews :D"
