The three have returned home, their mood completely sour and with less than enthused looks upon their faces, "UGH!!! That bitch is more stubborn than a dragon with golden and bejeweled mules!" Sofia groans angrily as she slams her bag against the front end table, "it's alright Sofia..." the girl says as the hybrid jumps onto the floor and is rubbing his body against her legs, "I frankly should've known that this would've happened. I should've seen it coming." she says as her voice begins to waver and crack, tears welling up in her eyes.
Sofia snaps her attention to her pupil whom has been keeping herself together throughout the entire screaming match that had escalated to bring on multiple other people and an impromptu meeting of her unwilling enrollment; the screaming argument just became all the louder, heated and all the more personal, and frankly should've been the one screaming at them and the one that has the rights to be the most angry. Livid even. Sofia teleported the girl to the living room where the girl promptly broke down crying. The hybrid grabbing a blanket from one of the linen closets that are stored outside of her room. Meant for this exact occasion.
She just kept crying as Sofia tries to comfort her and the hybrid running up to her room to find one of her plushies, one that always managed to calm her down or at least calm enough to hold a conversation without having another flood of tears. Sofia remains calm as showing any sort of uncertainty or anger will just make it so much worse. She then tells the girl in a soft voice, "I'm gonna go to the kitchen to get started on dinner." the crying girl just nods tears rolling down her cheeks and she turns herself into a sadness burrito with the blanket that Nierion had given her.
They are not happy of what had transpired, especially the one that has to go. Lilliana is curled into a ball with the blanket around her and is trying to keep her voice down as she sobs but due to all of that has transpired and that she has to uproot everything she knows and go to a school environment? She didn't even bother keeping her voice down, she is openly and loudly crying as if she had turned back into a newborn child. Sobbing like a baby, the hybrid arrived back with a stuffed bunny, a light pink bunny with lavender paws and it has a large embroidered star on it's left ear, it's eyes cerise pretty blow glass buttons. He placed of the bunny close to her with a see through crystal bottle of water that he placed with the bunny and says, "it's alright. Starry's here." Nierion says softly to the sobbing girl and the girl grabs the bunny and buries her face into the soft bunny, "I'm going to hunt. I'll bring you some gems or something similar." Nierion murmurs to the girl to which the girl just nods, the only thing escaping her mouth is sobs and her eyes only had tears coming out. The girl drinks from the bottle as the hybrid goes through one of the side doors (meant to escape in case of a incredibly dangerous if not life threatening situation and fighting isn't an option), sad that he needs to go hunting during one of the most rare times of the year while his master is having a crisis and a breakdown at the same time.
The girl is left alone in the dark (she made the lights vanish and lit the fireplace, but since she was the one that lit it, it went from regular orange to that of violet) the only sounds being heard, is her sobbing and the fire crackling.
She had drained the bottle of the liquid within the crystal bottle that just refill as soon as there's a third of it left as she drinks incredibly quickly. She just kept crying and drinking the fluid that keeps replenishing itself. She's heartbroken. She just remained there clutching her bunny and tears running down her face.
Sofia in the kitchen, is cutting vegetables and meats with so much force that the cutting board had deep grooves and cuts from her chopping, the cutting board is luckily a different kind of cutting board, if any pieces of the cutting board got onto the food, it'll just flavor the food...and the cutting board is incredibly hard and is almost never cut. This is too far. Even for them. Lilliana won't like it there, she won't thrive there...I just got her to accept herself and to get out of that dangerous place within her own mind, Sofia thought as she cut through vegetables that are diamond hard, her heart is bright but is tangled with darkness and her mind isn't far off, she thought as she put in the now diced, sliced and minced vegetables and herbs within the large ivory pearl and purple onyx pot that is heating up over the roaring fire. She didn't put in any of the meat that the other two had gathered as it isn't the right time to do it. It's all pure vegetables and herbs. The stew practically looks like rainbow gemstones dipped in the aurora; as the water is that of pure spring water (accessed through a well that is connected to an incredibly deep underground water reservoir), which is incredibly little like two cups and then pulls and pours out an entire burgundy bottle of radiant vegetable stock, hell she through the bottle in there once the stock was gone and it immediately dissipated into the stew. Adding into the stew more elevation and flavor. There was no need for adding any sort of meat products as some of the vegetables have the same heartiness and juiciness of meat. Hell one of the vegetables is called Meat Root. Making this kind of stew that perfectly replicates the wonders that is rainbows and auroras with the shine and beauty of gemstones...it is incredibly difficult to do but divinely delicious when pulled off correctly. It's also every nutritionist and health nut's dream meal. As well as every Vegan's saving grace. The dualist puts in all the correct seasonings and spices as she cooked the stew and with the last stir, she puts in three light yellow orbs into the stew and they melt into the stew, I'm so glad I managed to get enough sap from the Milk Tree before those assholes cut it down, she thought as she stirs the butter into the stew, seeing the results almost immediately and then adds the lintels, stirs it in thoroughly and place the lid over it for it to simmer and boil. Cooking and seasoning everything as it takes a long time for it be able to either to happen. She grabs three large three to six pointed toothed leaves that is the color of salt...all the salt. Using one of these large leaves (which is the size of a softball) can make or break any dish possible. Sofia used two. TWO. Jesus...and the color of the leaves is what makes or breaks the dishes, the paler the leaves the less potency it'll have. The size also matters, smaller doesn't always mean better. The leaves in her hands are incredibly potent and one wrong move and the amount of salt will kill the dish if not done right. Luckily, the stew has no salt in it whatsoever as these two leaves by themselves can flavor the dish by themselves and the flavor of salt will pull through.
She places the two salt leaves within the stew whole exactly ten minutes as the stew cooks. She sighs as she keeps to the kitchen and begin making begin dinner rolls. Nierion walks through into the back door with three large carcasses, it's donkey sized hares. He places the hares onto the table and went back out, to gather, to release his anger. The one most affected is still crying her eyes out and having a breakdown. The senior woman does not mind. In fact she expects it. And she knows that it'll just escalate until it's time to go Mix Academy.
It truly didn't get any better when the list of requirements arrived. It really doesn't.
Days Later.
Lilliana and Sofia had begun the school shopping. Or just Sofia. Lilliana has to pack up her things as she is being moved to the dorms and to mentally prepare herself for what's going to happen. Sofia is doing the school shopping as her student has to adjust and reconstruct for her upcoming orientation. She's doing it for her student as to relieve at least this stress off of the poor girl. Sofia is dressed in a mystic red sundress with lava ankle boots. Her hair in a loose ponytail. A butterscotch bag with a glittering bluebell purple circle with a spiral in the middle (a space magic circle to give more space to the bag).
The merchants and shop keeps are relentless.
"Why won't your student do it herself?" asked one of the shop keeps, Sofia didn't even flinch
"School shopping is stressful and she has enough on her plate." she answers
"I thought Lilliana would come." said a bookkeep as she gets all the required and suggested books upon the lists, again the woman isn't fazed, "it's an agreement between the two of us. I do the shopping and she packs her things." she replies coolly. It's for the best that Lilliana didn't do the shopping, she would've lost all control, Sofia thought as she walks through the market place with other parents and students scrambling around for all of their supplies that they'll need for the school year. She went to the clothing shop that makes all of the school uniforms and walk inside. She sees the midnight blue clad woman chatting with the owner and main seamster. The dualist sighs as she walks in and looks at all the orbs and diamonds that hold all the uniforms, "Ah. Hello Sofia." Militrix greets with light mirth in her tone, her sister doesn't answer her and just looks at the uniforms, "I thought I would be able to chat with your pupil, what was her name again? Wilhelmina?" Militrix persists and Sofia's eye twitches at the clear butchering of her pupil's name, "Lilliana. She isn't up for chitchat at the moment." Sofia correctly curtly, her voice sharp, Militrix isn't fazed by her sister's hostility. "Oh, Lilliana, forgive me. But I'm curious of why she isn't coming to get her uniform...can she not get it herself?" Militrix continues as Sofia continues to look through all the options of the uniform, "She is packing her things that she will need to survive the school year, I had agreed to do the school shopping to relieve some of the stress." Sofia answers curtly. Finding a bright ass candy red brilliant cut diamond that within it seems to hold the colors of every color upon the color spectrum. Perfect, Sofia thought smiling as she holds up the diamond to the light, "why that of all the options?" Militrix inquires as she looks at the diamond with her sister, the smile upon Sofia's face vanish and glared at her sister with a sharpness that could cut through The Executioner's blade, "she may have been enrolled into Mix Academy but she is still of The Eden House. I know my pupil better than you." She points a finger at her sister, "Ever will." She finishes her voice clearly angry but calm, like a volcano ready to erupt. It left her sister in surprise as she hasn't seen her sister like this before.
Sofia turns on her heels and goes to the register. She has paid for the diamond, amongst other items that comes with that diamond. She places it into her bag. Militrix continues to follow her sister, questioning about her pupil and her choices about school supplies. Which was meant with grave silence and the cold shoulder. Sofia has not spoken to her sister after that stint in the uniform shop. Sofia kept going with shopping and acting like her sister isn't there.
Sofia walks out of the market place once all the needed purchases were done. Her sister still following her till Sofia stopped at the start of the trail, "Leave me alone Militrix. You are not welcome at The Eden House." she hisses at the moonlight woman. She begins to float into the air still keeping eye contact with the other woman, "You have done enough." she finishes and Sofia flies off before she could find her words.
Sofia flew over the Onyx Forest, now radiant in color, "The Color Fest is radiant this time round." she says as she sees multiple rare birds flying through the skies, giving the skies more color and variety. She summons her threaded blades and set the blades upon certain birds (evening out the bird populace as The Color Fest brings out every kind of species possible), once she returned with the school supplies and the foul that she had caught midair.
She enters the house and sees that it's pitch black and the only sounds that can be heard is quiet sobbing and the deep purring of the hybrid. She just sighs deeply, leaving the lights off. Sofia didn't try to get on the girl's case or tell her to suck it up. She walks toward the quiet sobbing, she can see the mist that the hybrid is emitting, not good, she thought as she walked with more purpose to the girl's room, the mist is glowing lilac and lavender. When she gets to the door and opens it fully, the mist had been transformed into full on fog and billowed out of the room, the fog is every shade of lavender and lilac. "It's alright Lilliana." Sofia says trying her damnedest not to cough from the overwhelming mixture of lilac and lavender scent. The girl has her suitcases packed with everything she needs to survive the year. Including her satchel. Sofia sees her pupil in the center of her room, crying on the floor with the hybrid is used as a pillow. She sat down next to the agonized girl and placed a hand upon her back, "You are the strongest I have ever met. I know that you can show those pompous pretentious pricks at Mix Academy be it student or teacher exactly what you're made of. If you get in trouble, always stick with the truth and take no shit from any of them." The girl looks at her mentor, her cognac eyes now bloodshot with tears rolling down her cheeks, "Especially from the teachers. You are a proud resident of The Eden House, show them exactly what you're capable of and if they don't like it; tough fucking shit." she says to the girl and she murmurs as her voice is hoarse from crying, "what if I get in trouble? Or get into a few fights? Or get blamed for something that I didn't even do?"
"They encourage you to treat Mix like you would at home. More specifically the house you reside. Show them that we don't fuck around." The beautiful woman says as she continues to console the girl.
It's a good thing that her luggage is unique amongst others. Sofia thought as she looks at the teen's pile of luggage, an entire set of hardside suitcases that is pastel green in color with metallic black bunnies all over it with a lock over the zippers, a different set of suitcases; softside this time that are metallic black with pastel green bunnies all over it with a few patches upon it, some ironed on and a few sewed in. Different kind of locks this time. They both have white tags attached that have her name upon it (the identification card cannot be easily removed if you are not the owner). A customized backpack that is a frankenstein's monster of a tactical backpack, a laptop bag and a teardrop backpack. All in pastel colors with multiple charms and keychains upon the zipper, her name stitched into the most critical parts of the backpack.
All of them backed to the very brim.
