"You refer to kids as 'tiny little running things'?" asked Mavislin, trying to maintain her cool.
Mavislin was trying her best not to rip Raiyen apart. Rina was laughing at this point while Bryan was impressed that you could call kids that way.
"Yes, got a problem with that?" asked Raiyen, not realizing that question was from Mavislin.
"Absolutely! You can't just call children 'tiny little running things'! They are lives as well, even if they are human. They might not be normal but they are individuals no less! And they deserve to be treated as such!" scolded Mavislin, getting ready to punch him.
"Whoa there, Mav," said Tomoe, restraining the Valkyrie.
He gently placed his chin on top of her head. His smile made Raiyen more pissed than he already was.
"I'm sure he was just joking. Besides, if he can trap himself into Time Pockets, then it should be plausible to say that he could trap the building in as well, right? It has been done before, though not by you. How about we give it a try? I'll even offer my help," said Tomoe.
Raiyen remained silent as he looked at Mavislin guiltily. The Valkyrie noticed it and gently asked Tomoe to let go. She then approached Raiyen and gave a signature smile that Bryan loved seeing.
"I'm sure we can find out the proper way to do it if we discuss it with Gillian. And he would have a way to do it without harming anyone," said Mavislin, patting Raiyen's head.
"It's still too risky..."
"I'll spar with you first thing in the morning after we have dinner tonight. Alone," said Mavislin, winking.
Raiyen's eyes widened in shock. Tomoe became slightly fluffier in jealousy that he lost a dinner date to Raiyen.
"Without the rest of the team?" asked Raiyen, eyes lit with excitement.
"Yes, we can do it on the Old Chapel rooftop. I would ask her to make a suitable area for us to enjoy dinner together. Without any interference by a certain fox spirit," said Mavislin, grinning.
"Fine with me, we've got a deal."
"That makes Tomoe's initial plan to send them to that area a great plan. And that's what we will do. But first, all of our needs to get out of here," instructed Mavislin, shoving everyone away.
"You don't have to say that again, I'm out. And I'm taking Rina with me first," said Ysabeau, getting ready to ride Fluffy.
"You sound like you are kidnapping me..."
But under her wing, there was another creature.
"What is that?!" screamed Ysabeau, as she saw the creature look up at her.
The creature flew away from the wing and headed straight to Mavislin's arms.
"And how long have you been there?" asked Mavislin, smiling at the little creature.
"It's my familiar! His name is 'Ciel', he is the Cetus of Greek Mythology. Isn't he cute?" asked Mavislin, showing it to Ysabeau.
Ciel had his tongue daggling out as he smiled at Ysabeau and it was the first time that the High Queen has found herself slightly afraid of a mythical being. Raiyen smirked as he approached the two, patting Ciel on the head.
"Looks like Ysabeau doesn't like the new creature. He such a handsome boy," cooed Raiyen, tickling Ciel's chin.
The creature shrieked in happiness as he curled its tail around Raiyen's wrists, pulling him towards Mavislin. Tomoe's ears twitched in irritation, seeing that Raiyen was closer to his Mavislin. Bryan sensed the jealousy and chuckled at Tomoe.
"You got somethin' funny to laugh at?" asked Tomoe, glaring at Bryan.
"Sorry, it's just that look on your face. You are trying so hard to impress her yet you're gonna lose out to a childhood friend. The age-old story, won't change no matter how many centuries have passed," said Bryan, still laughing.
"Hmph. Not as if you'll get why I want her in the first place."
"I get that, she is a wonderful Lady boss. But don't worry, I'm stealing anyone. Besides, she wants me to hook up with you for swordsman training."
Tomoe looked at Bryan before sighing and nodding.
"Can I have a friendly battle with Mavislin first? Been quite a long time since I have done so," asked Tomoe, negotiating with Bryan.
"Sure, I don't mind. Just make sure to train me before I go onto the next mission. I heard Mavislin would be bringing Z along," explained Bryan.
"Am I supposed to be alright with that?" asked Tomoe, slightly irked.
"No, just know that the next destination would be dealing with the ocean. So I don't think you should pick her up there," suggested Bryan.
"If I train you to your satisfaction and you've improved, would you propose to Mavislin for me with her on the next mission?" whispered Tomoe.
