Breath in. Breath out. Focus. Thought Louise while she held her hand and wand up, focusing on a single large block of stone. Don't force it. She reminded herself. Forget that there is anything holding it down. Then took a breath in, focusing only her will into her wand while lightly twirling it.

Those watching sat in near rapt attention, the large block of stone giving a little quiver before slowly, and assuredly, rising. No one spoke a word, letting the Valliere do her set task while lifting the heavy block higher up into the air. Kriche herself, couldn't help but remark lowly to her fellow students, "She's actually doing it."

Siesta was slow to nod herself. While feats like this were fairly common sight to her, the maid was all to aware of how disastrous Louise's attempts were. And while she was not a mage that understood magic, she did understand the relevance to this. Tabatha had told, in a rather shortly explained way, that Louise was doing a spell without a element at all. Something rather unheard of for mages that normally had a element's aid.

Colbert himself had began to smile, taking a small circuit around Louise and the large block of stone while he evaluated the situation. Even Miss Chevreuse had stayed around after making the large block of stone for this, the women having a fairly large smile.

As the stone rose high enough to be over most people's heads, Louise glanced to Eldwin for approval. She was more than happy when he gave a firm nod and told, "Very good. You are most definitely improving, young Louise." Then motioned a hand in a circle. "Now, begin making a circuit with it around yourself. Let us see how fine your control is."

A nod of her own, Louise refused all attention on the stone, wand moving along with it and gently moving it along through the air. Colbert felt rather impressed in truth, most of this done without a single word being uttered for the spell, merely using a combination of magic, Light and pure will.

As he came to a stop next to his fellow colleague of the Academy, Chevreuse said, "I must say, I am rather pleasantly surprised by this." A touch of approval in her tone. "When Miss Valliere failed a simple transmutation with a explosion and was later told of her… lack in magic, I was a little concerned for the girl."

Turning her gaze at the man responsible for this apparent change, the portly women remarked, "I will admit, this Sir Eldwin produced a real miracle, if what the teaching staff say about the young Valliere are to be taken as truth."

"I would have to agree to the miracle." Colbert nodded and keeping his voice low. His eyes soone watched as Louise began to do more complex things with the cube, such as slowly spinning it one direction while making it circle around her. Or having it completely still and steady while moving. "Ever since eldwin began to teach her, she has been growing faster than I thought."

"Is she now?" Asked Chevreuse with interest. "What are you going off of to think that, Mr. Colbert?"

With a slight glance and using a free hand to push up his glasses, Colbert told, "Simply the fact that when Louise started four weeks back and was able to get her magic down, Eldwin had her levitate a number of small blocks around herself wandless, increasing their numbers to add difficulty." Then looked ahead telling, "Now she's lifting a stone well the weight of a large bolder, and manipulates it with no strain as of yet."

"She sounds like a prodigy in the making." Told the portly women in some astonishment. "And all this could've been fixed with an… alternative means of teaching?" A little surprised that was all it took.

Thinking that over, Colbert said, "A bit. But Eldwin's way of using magic is so exotic and different, I doubt that we would of ever figured it out." It was also to point of what Eldwin told. Not all could use Light as a tool. The man had told Colbert himself that while he had Light, the fire mage could not manipulate it. A sad bit of news to hear, really.

Nodding, the earth mage settled back to just watching, observing as Kirche being the next to try after Louise placed down the large block of stone. Even as the two girls passed the other, a little banter and taunting was traded, though no where to the levels Chevreuse used to see during the beginning of the second years semester. When Eldwin cleared his voice, it became evident he was the reason for the more well behaviour of the two, as they parted.

Chuckling to herself, the women told, "That is funny." Shaking her head a bit. "Miss Zerbst and Miss Valliere seem to get along with Sit eldwin about. I should probably thank him for calming the two down, my class isn't nearly as disruptive as it normally is."

Giving his own low chuckle, Colbert agreed, "Eldwin seems to be a bit more strict when teaching the two. As soon as their distaste of the other showed, he was very… quick in removing the problem." Then smiled as Kirche used the same wordless flick of her wand to slowly lift the large block of stone herself, if not a bit more slowly. "If our classes were not so full of so many students, maybe we could do something similar."

With a glance, Chevreuse remarked, "I thought your classes were often the most orderly out of all the teachers, Mr. Colbert. Why would you need anymore hold during your lessons?"

Shaking his head, Colbert told, "They behave for the most part, only because how I teach is more interesting than the latest gossip." taking his attention off the lesson before them to explain, "That's partially the secret of teaching I find. Keeping the students interested." Then shook his head, "It's when they aren't interested I wish I could sternly get them to both sit and listen."

"You may have to take a day to tell me how I can do that." Chevreuse told, "As well as my class pays attention, more than not they tend to drift off halfway through."

"I'll help the best I can." Assured Colbert with a smile, "But no guarantees. There are always a few that don't seem to pay any mind to what we try and teach."

Once Kirche was finished, and Tabatha being next to use her staff, both teachers watch the same process being done, if not in different steps. Still, the sight of each of his students performing wordless magic was a wonder to Colbert. All by their wills. They could do the same without a wand, but as it stood, a wand made thieng easier- if not all focus was at one place the wand pointed. The next step, after enough training, was to do this windless.

When Tabitha was done and set the stone down with a heavy thump, did Eldwin motion for Siesta to step up next. Chevreuse was confused at this, lips pressed tight and left wondering. Colbert wondered too, but he had a feeling of knowing what Eldwin wanted the girl to do.

"Pool your Light." Eldwin told in a much more stern fashion that Colbert more associated with a firm military man. "Empower your limbs. Firm your stance and prepare." Each word sent to the maid in training clothes as she widen her stance, hands placed on the side of the stone blocks side and preparing herself. "The stone is a obstacle. Move it aside like the small stone it is."

Siesta took in a deep breath once more, feeling the familiar warmth welling in her arms, her legs, her back, stomach, hands, feet and chest… then, with a small grunt, pushed. Pushed with all her might.

Chevreuse felt her eyes grow as the small maiden girl began to push a stone well over her size. Slowly making the ground crunch and grind as a unsightly dirt mark was made in the grass, the ground before the pushed block bunching and building up. She would have never thought a girl, never mind a commoner maid with such a smaller and youthful frame, could just push a boulder sized cube of stone with raw strength.

Siesta gave a louder groan, the tips of her feet digging into the ground as she continued to try pushing the giant block along. It was hard, she felt her whole body straining to get inch-by-inch results. "Do not relent." She heard Eldwin tell, "Do not think of what you can not do. Think of only what you can do. Your goal is to push. Make that goal your reason. Make that reason your cooperation. Forge that will into your strength."

Trying to follow this, Siesta focused on soly that goal. To push. To only push and never stop pushing. With a small roar in her lungs, she put everything into pushing, letting go of the whys or how heavy the stone was. Just to push. The mages in the area almost balked, though for Lousie and Kirche, they definitely felt their jaws drop, as inches became feet. It looked almost like Siesta was doing a slow charge of sorts as she powered forwards for four more feet, then stopped.

The girl seemed to run out of steam and just stopped, sliding down the grainy side and panting heavily. Her muscles ached and burned a bit, tingling too… but as she breathed and slowly calmed down, she felt her body slowly relaxing, the burn cooling down steadily. Blinking a few times, Siesta focused a bit on the smooth, dirty ground she was sitting on and noticed a fairly long stretch of ground-turned dirt. About five or so feet, really.

She took a gulp of air once more, slowly standing as she continued to do slow breathing exercises to calm her body down, to help speed up it' recovery. She saw Eldwin approach, looking down at her progress and nodding. "Good. That was a good start for you." Then raised a hand to the stone, turning his palm upwards and raising it a bit as it lifted.

While it wasn't too unexpected, the sight of someone mindlessly lifting a large stone block was still a awing sight. Eldwin floating it over and gently placing it down beside where the long skidmark of dirt started. Turning back, he told, "Tomorrow you will do the same thing, your aim to try and push it past six feet."

Slowly, Siesta gave a nod, though she wondered if she could do it. But it was only a foot more, surely it wouldn't be that hard as the first time. Right?

"In the meantime." Eldwin soon broke the young women from her thoughts, "I want you to get back to your normal routine. I will be teaching spells for a while, and that's something outside your terms of skills."

"Yes Sir Eldwin." Bowed Siesta before turning and leaving for her quarters to begin her normal training routine. It all consisted of stretches, sit up, push ups, squats, pull ups and the kata's she normally did. The later bit she wouldn't do until night, where Eldwin could help give her a new insight of what she would be doing.

Watching the girl leave for a moment, Eldwin turned back to the three before himself and thought for a moment. The large cube was a nice little warmup for them, but now they needed something else to challenge themselves. Nodding internally at a thought, he motioned for the three students to follow him. "Next, we will be working on a few wandless spells."

Giving a slight glance over his shoulder, Eldwin noted that Colbert had once more resumed following, Chevreuse having chosen to also follow out of her mild curiosity. He didn't mind, this would eventually get out sooner or later. It also helped to have examples for later, the women was able to wield her Light, though this was something he left unmentioned.

Turning his head back forwards, Eldwin told, "Each of you will be using a spell you either know or are familiar with. The goal of this lesson is to find a balance between your magic, your Light and your incantations."

In an inquisitive tone, Louise poke up, "Eldwin… not that I doubt you but, how is that possible?" A little confused how that would work out. Seeing as he had no real experience in their from of magic except for a number of weeks past. Sury he hadn't learned how to use their magic that quickly.

"Professor Colbert and I have both been testing and practicing on the idea." Told Eldwin. "While my magic is different, we found a fine bridging point, and while the subject is new, it's method ultimately the same." Sopping before the dummies that were in the same area they were practicing in, Eldwin turned to his three magicly able students and motioned to the dummies. "Without a wand, I want you three to focus a spell on a dummy."

Moving to his own target, he demonstrated. "First, pool both Light and Magic into your hands, like so." Taking a wide stance and having his hands almost relaxed before himself, the Warlock let them slowly become enveloped. Bright bluish white light mixed with his more colorful green magic. The two mixed, almost producing a lime green light. "Once this is done, recite your spell, your Light is your focus."

"Your will will be your magic's the path, your words being the goal you channel it towards." And with a low, raspy and hissing voice, Eldwin spoke. "Elanu hes nastou zeheel." Hands gently circling before himself before snapping to a stop, flaring outwards as two, green and vapor like trails flew, touching and slowly corroding the dummy.

Eldwin took a calming breath, one hand lowering while the other he shook, green vapor stubbornly clinging to his right hand that looked like it was trying to burn him. It was only after he clenched his fist with a purple black light that it finally died out, leaving his hand in place.

Fixing his glasses, Colbert questioned, "What sort of spell was that?" Never in his years having seen such a thing.

"A Hive Spell." Told Eldwin passively, though Louise felt an uncomfortable tingle through herself while glancing at the corroded, if not now rotten dummy that looked ready to fall apart. "I'm still practicing it myself. It never seems to always agree with me." Though Eldwin was sure that was because he had Light in him still.

Louise felt the need to press further on why he would use magic form such a vile race of creatures, but at his waving hand to choose a dummy to practice on, she relented. Getting in line with Kirche and Tabatha, they each rose their hands, each one taking a similar wide stance and beginning the focus of their magic and light.

Bright glows of crimson, white and glittering spectrum colors. For a moment there wasn't anything, just the girls standing as they took a moment to make sure they were indeed ready to cast. Tabatha was the first to act, saying softly, "Gust." Giving a light flourish of her palms. Wind picked up, twisting and rushing around her before pushing on the Dummy.

At the sight of her quiet friend giving results, Kurche smirked and gave a slightly louder call of, "Fireball!" Her hands splaying outwards, a sparking flaming ball before her person as it flew forwards. She felt her smirk waver as not halfway there, the fire spluttered out and just stopped working as it fell down like little sparks.

Louise gave a small, and held back snerk at the sight. But for the world, she could not contain her smile.

Eldwin shook his head and moved up to the young women, saying, "Again, Kirche." His tone being gentle, the same one he used whenever a difficulty began to rise. Though this time around, while Kirche was starting up her spell, he watched intently at her hands and at where the fireball was forming. When it was sent out, it died out once more.

"Again." He repeated, watching just as intently as before as Kirche repeated the process again. And again. And then once more, each one resulting in the flame spluttering out.

Nodding to himself, Eldwin reached out and gently took Kirche's wrists and brought them closer together. "The flames are like a living creature." He began in a thoughtful tone. "It needs to breath. It needs warmth. It needs food to sustain itself." He looked up to the redhead and went on, "I'm sure you know this. But from what I can tell, your hands are too far apart, your magic not as centered."

Moving away he mimed her some, though having his hands over and under before himself, a golden sphere of light forming there. "Try again with this stance." Pulling his arms back and then thrusting both forwards as if to launch the bright ball of light. "And do this action before actually sending it off, to give it a bit more momentum." Clapping his hands together to extinguish it.

Kirche gave a slow nod, wondering what spell the man was using that time, but made no comment. She instead turned her focus before herself, looking to the dummy that stood impassively in front of herself. Refocusing, she willed her magic and Light between her palms, willing and twiddling her fingers as if to spin and mix the two together. "Fireball." She spoke, feeling the familiar sparking of the element before pulling ar arms back and then thrusting.

This time it was much more impressive. The fires roared to life and flew forwards with the brightest of red fire. It hit the dummy a bit off center to it's chest, but the bright flash and flare of blooming fire that scorched it's side as evidence of it's might. Kirche allowed herself a new smirk, while Eldwin nodded and motioned for the girl to keep going.

Then, he turned to his last student. The one that hadn't been casting a spell while Tabatha was busy practicing her Gust spell. Louise shifted some, looking forwards and staring at her dummy, hands at the ready… but soon slowly admitted when she felt Eldwin staring at her. "I don't know a good spell."

"Truly?" Asked Eldwin curiously as he moved away from one student's side and trading it for another's. "And why would that be, Louise. You seem well versed."

While she didn't want to say it with Kirche in earshot, Louise knew that the truth was just the fastest way for Eldwin to understand. "Because all the spells I've done before ended up in explosions."

"I see." Nodded the man in thought. "You have no one spell you are familiar with due to none acting out the way you wished." Then considered Louise for a moment before asking, "What about a spell that would encourage the results you have always gotten?" Making Louise draw her brows close in confusion. "If your magic wishes to explode, why fight it's nature?" Pausing for Louise to take that in before he told, "Power channeled, Louise."

"Not controlled." The pinkette finished thoughtfully while looking to her target. She glanced form Tabatha's gusts of wind, only getting a bit more stronger if not better directed. Kirche was much the same, in the sense her aim was improving just a little.

Sighing, Louise put her hands before herself, focusing Light and Magic to mingle into her hands. She focused on just the dummy, seeming to analyze it for all it was worth, her mind visualizing what she wanted. Hands out, she next to shouted, "Explosion!"

For a moment, a very loud bang was heard through half the academy.

Louise, Kirche, Tabitha, Eldwin, Colbert and Chevreuse all stood in place, all having a fairly black coat of soot on their fronts and the ground scorched black all the way back to ground zero where there used to be a dummy. It's two brethren were no where near as lucky, as they too experienced oblivion.

Wiping the soot from his visor, Eldwin commented, "Perhaps a little less power next time, Louise."

Giving a low groan, Louise let her head just rest on her arms, leaning over the table she sat at while some lunch was being served outside once more. Rolling her eyes, Kirche spoke while she gently patted Flame's head, "Oh stop mopping, Valliere. It wasn't that horrible."

Moving her head to glare up from where she was trying to hide, mostly her face, Louise asked, "Wasn't that horrible? I nearly blew up Eldwin when he asked my to try the spell again!"

"Didn't." Tabatha reminded, her arm absently reaching up to scratch the lower jaw of her wind dragon.

"Still, I could have blown him up!" Louise went on, sitting up more and waving her arms about. "What sort of student does that to their teachers!?"

Kirche made to open her mouth, finger starting to point forwards and a smirk starting to form- a well placed clonk form Tabatha's staff promptly shut the girl up before she could remind Louise of her past experiences. Kirche rubbed her head and gave Tabatha a sideways glance. The bluenette only giving a sharp, if not flat look to drop it.

For her part, Louise was oblivious to the two and what they were exchanging with the other, continuing on with her own small rant. "I could have seriously hurt him, and that wouldn't only be bad in the sense he's been teaching me this whole time, but he's also my Familiar, what would that say about me?"

"That you need to be a bit more careful?" Asked Kirche, once more getting a good thwack on the head by her best friend. The young women gave a glare to her friend, who only stared on impassively, through the message was clear enough to figure out. Sighing, Kirche told, "Listen, Louise." Trying to find the right words, "Eldwin doesn't blame you. You're obviously still trying to get a grasp on your magic."

She could tell from the glare the Valliere gave her, only told that Louise was waiting for the punchline that involved her at the butt of the teasing joke. Kirche might have done so, if not for Eldwin bribing Tabatha with books of all things to keep her in line. So, knowing any teasing now would result in more bumps on her head, Kirche told, "You're trying, and that's saying something for someone that went from no success to partial and full successes."

Sitting back more and crossing a leg over the other, Kirche moved a hand up and through her red locks and told, "I mean, Geez Louise, ever since Eldwin began teaching you, you've actually made real progress. I can hardly call you a Zero anymore with how much you keep growing like a weed at this rate." Though smiled and told, "Well, the moniker of Zero still fits when describing those dummy targets. Completely nothing left."

Louise wasn't sure if that was a normal insult, or a actual complement. It left her stunned in place and utterly confused. How was she supposed to respond to that?

"Complement." Tabatha helpfully told Louise, having watched the girl slump into a angry confusion.

"Uh…" Started Louise lamely before glancing at the smiling, if not puffed up Zerbst that was preening with pride. "Thanks… I suppose." Still not very sure if she should feel… grateful that her 'enemy' was actually acknowledging her as a person now. It felt weird, really.

With a gentle clattering, all three turned as Siesta smiled at them. The maid began to move tea cups and plates of simplistic food about the table, and told, "It's good to finally see you both getting along. Sometimes I get worried that all nobility can't seem to make friends once they decided to make enemies."

"I'm not an enemy." Kirche told with a waving hand, right before smirking towards Louise, "I'm just a minor annoyance." Then cooed out, "Only because sweet little Louise is so easy to rile up, it's adorable!"

Eye twitching, Louise asked, "What was that, Zerbst?" Her ire rising some and cheeks flushing. Her, adorable? Where did the prerogative women get off and saying such things to her, a Valliere!?

"See!" Kirche pointed out, "She's just so easy to prod at. She's cute with a flush, and once she started pouting, it's like looking at a small kitten!" Reaching a arm out to muss up Louise's pink head, only making the girl glare all the more. "Look, she's doing it now!"

A solid clunking sound reverberated as Kirche drew back her hand to nurse her head, Tabatha telling while pulling her staff back at its resting position. Then gave a single command "Eat."

Pouting herself, Kirche said, "Spoilsport." Resuming her seat and looking down at the small dish of steamed food before herself. Smiling, Kirche glanced and told, "Oh my, what have we here?" Reaching for the fork on the small plate to sample the meat as she hummed out, "Hmm~ this is rather nice, what's the occasion?"

Smiling some and folding the tray before herself, Siesta told, "Nothing, Milady. It happened to be on the menu today and I knew that you liked Steamed birds of paradise, and while not the same…"

"Tut-tut, Siesta." Kirche laughed while waving a hand, "Please, call me Kirche. We've been around each other long enough we can skip all those silly 'milady' and 'servet' prattle." Then went back to her light meal, humming out again at it's taste before telling, "You have quite the memory, I didn't expect you to remember."

"I-I try to do my job the best I can." Flushed the maid with some mild embarrassment and head bowing down.

Smiling much like a cat, Kirche said, "Careful, modesty and shyness like that might actually make a noble take interest." Watching as Siesta's blushed began to deepen. "And you are attractive with a blush, definitely the fair maiden of story books." Holding back her laughter as the girl's face was going tomato red.

"Stop teasing." Tabatha told rather simply. "Or no Lights under the Night."

"What!?" Kirche spoke out in shock, "You wouldn't dare!"

Blinking and now calming down, Louise asked, "What now?" Completely lost of what was now happening.

Getting her own blush under control, Siesta told, "Lights under the Night is a… uh, not-so-well known romance novel." Shifting some at the looks she received. "M-my Grandfather taught me how to, uh, read."

Turning away from the odd maid that seems to just know so many odd things, Louise asked to Kirche, "You're concerned over not getting a book?"

"It's a very good book!" Kirche defended. "If Siesta, a commoner, knows about it so well, then it only speaks to how many read it!" Then turned to Tabitha, "And I've been waiting for weeks to get my hands on it!"

"Behave." Was all Tabatha said.

Sighing and going back to her food, though mood a bit more down and deciding to poke and play with it, Kirche told, "You just have to ruin all my fun, don't you?"

"Passion burns too much." Tabatha commented back. "Need to dowse it sometimes." Making Kirche splutter a bit while Louise felt a sirk come to her lips and Siesta give a small giggle.

Calming down, Kirche turned to look at the emotionless face of her friend for a moment… then smirked and told, "Cheeky." Then turned to Louise and Siesta, once more playing idly with her food and told while leaning on a propped up hand, "Better take this warning now. It's always the quiet ones that get the last laugh."

Tabatha only stored on impassively before lifting a hand and seemingly drawing a book from nowhere and began to read.

There was a call for cake someplace, and Siesta lifted and turned her head at the voice. Turning back to the three nobles, she gave a bow and told, "It was nice visiting, but I do need to get back to work." Turning and rushing off to get right back to spreading out foods or treats.

Louise watched the maid scurry off for a moment before looking down to her own food. This one being more of a treat that anything, a fluffy cake with some strawberries dotting its top. Quirking a smile, Louise glanced to the plate side and snatched up a fork, going right to eating while sighing at the taste. She had to thank Siesta for bringing comfort food of all things to her, how the maid knew, she didn't know or cared.

"She isn't half bad." Kirche remarked towards Louise, cutting the Valliere form her internal musing. "Siesta that is. For a Commoner she's actually a little fun to be around. Nice too." Then, turning her red eyes towards Louise, Kirche asked, "Wouldn't you agree?"

Watching a bit cautiously for any little traps the girl could be planning to tease at her again, Louise eventually responded, "She is nice, I'll admit." Modest, nice and polite. A bit timid at times and unsure of herself, but Siesta was a nice person. "Certainly more pleasant than you are at times."

"Still a little sore with all the teasing?" Asked Kirche with a grin. "Well, I can be a little too passionate in my fun, I guess." Chuckling at herself. "If it wasn't for my chaperone, I'd be much worse!" Reaching out to pat and muss up Tabatha's hair.

Tabatha for her part, said nothing. But a single glance of her eyes told Louise that the girl thought the same. With a crooning sound, Sylpheed took this as a signal to join in, and leaned her head down to nuzzle the side of Tabatha's head too, only serving to mess up her hair further.

Laughing a bit at the dragon's own affectionate nuzzing, Kirche turned back to Louise and told, "I'm just saying. For a commoner? Siesta isn't all that bad. I'm definitely enjoying her company, if anything to just talk." Then refocused on her food while telling, "The serving staff apparently heard plenty of gossip."

"I'm not sure if I even want to know." Louise said with a weary glance. "What would servants gossip about anyways?"

"Oh, you know." Kirche told while stabbing a piece of meat and waving it around. Sylpheed paused in her nuzzling to track the moving about meat on the fork, Kirche speaking on, "This and that. Who dating who. What blunder this student did or what's going on outside the academy walls."

When the fork stopped, Sylpheed glanced to be sure Tabatha was distracted by her book before snaking her head over to maybe sneak the little morsel away from the fork that was handing upwards in the air. When her jaws slowly snapped down, Kirch seemed to choose that moment to move the fork back down, making the dragon miss while the women took a bite of her food.

While Sylpheed sulked at missing, Kirche continued to speak on without much thought of what almost happened. "In short? I think I will be going to Siesta for gossip topic from here on out, they sound a bit more fascinating than what the other Nobility seem to talk about around here."

Having a mixed look to this, Louise soon sighed and shook her head. Mostly to dispel the image of Sylpheed trying to sneak Kirche's food away. "Right… sure." Really she wasn't that interested in knowing what gossip the commoners had. Sure, something could be… had from it, but she had more important things to think about. Like her studies and learning more about Light.

While Louise slightly began to ponder on that, a loud and resounding slap echoed out. The three, or rather Kirche and Louise, looked at the other in stumped confusion before a shout of, "Montmorency, Katy- wait!" Causing both to turn and get a look of Guiche on the ground, trying to get up with a fairly red spot on his cheek. "Please, let me explain!"

Smiling some, Kirche said, "Looks like someone was finally caught two-timing." And while Louise could have cared less, even she gave a slight smile to that.

Serves the skirt chaser right. The pinkette nodded to herself while going back to her treat of cake. In the background she could hear the laughter of the student body, for once directed at someone that wasn't herself.

"So Louise." Kirche began to speak once more, making Louise start to wonder how much the girl enjoyed to talk when there was someone to listen in. "What do you plan to do later on?" Then went on, "You know… Once classes are done and Eldwin is finished teaching us a few new neat tricks?"

Giving Kirche a long look, Louise told, "To study of course."

"Then?" Pressed Kirche as she took another bite of her food.

"Sleep." Was the simple response from the Valliere. "Why? What has you suddenly so interested in my personal life Herbst?"

Smiling, Kirche told, "Since we started seeing eachother more often." Then frowned some and told, "And it's no wonder you can have such a cold shoulder. Do you do anything for fun?" Then went on, "Oh, what about hobbies? Anything at all besides working all the time?"

"No." Quickly told Louise, holding back any embarrassment she might have at one hobby she did have. Not that she trusted Kirche to know about it. Knowing the women she would just poke fun at her less than amazing knitting projects.

Twisting her face up, Kirche said, "Alright, now I'm starting to get worried." Making Louise stop any thoughts abruptly to that. "No fun, no hobbies, and I know the amount of friends you have might as well be your title." Saying this all as if fact, which Louise tried to not lowly growl in frustration over. "Honestly, I'm considering on actually dragging you away from your room to actually do something fun!"

All that was given was a flat look from the Valliere as she told, "I have more important things to do than follow up on some ridiculous idea of your Herbst."

Scrunching up her own face, Kirche leaned forwards on the table and told, "Oh no Zero." Smirking as a devious thought came to mind. "You are going to have fun, one way or the other. Even if I have to kidnap you to do it!"

"I doubt you can get away with that." Louise told in a frank manner.

"I'll have Tabbatha help." Told the fiery girl, "Right Taby?" Turning to her ever so quiet friend.

"Sure." Came the emotionless response.

A little surprised by this, Louise said, "What?" Then asked, "Why? I thought you would be against this!"

With a board glance over her book, Tabatha just told, "Workaholic." Then buried her face back into her book, leaving Louise with a open mouth while Kirche laughed.

"She agrees!" Called the Germanian as she soon grinned at the smaller girl. "You know what that means Louise?" Her devious smile now firmly in place. "It means the next chance at freedom we get? You're going to be dragged along with the both of us as we do something that involves you, and getting a good barrels of laughs."

It was at this moment, Loise felt a dreadful cold pit in her stomach form. This could not be good. At all.
