Arrival to a New Place.

Opening the door in front of she entered the guild she was a part of for her first time. With a file in her hand that was colored exactly like the most noted color of her outfit the purple file had a few pieces of paper it was her written down exactly what happen while she was out doing the task she had been told to do and with the normal sound of the clicking of waling in high heels.

"Hmm.."Cassidalia looked around at the guild house after entering it she had no idea what she expected this place to look like so entering here it would be something for Cassidalia to see if she like being around but she also knew since she was yet to meet any other of the guild members aside from Rapheal she would have to see if she got along with anyone else in the guild also."I wonder if anyone else is around here?"She spoke in general maybe some one else around to hear her speak.

"If not I guess I will drop off what I have written down and come back later."Cassidalia also mentioned she had a few other things she could while no one else was here."I do have to visit my sister since she just open a small clothing store might go buy myself something there to show my support..."She mentioned that mostly to herself as a list to do.

Alexandria Varimathras was well known among the people of the vermin and scum that wandered around this part of Magnolia, she wasn’t liked or revered, nor exalted, but she was feared, something she was quite pleased with. Granted she didn’t have such a blessing within her guild but sooner or later they would come to taste her wrath, of course she didn’t plan on causing trouble amongst her guild mates, she just assumed that one of them would eventually piss her off and she knew which one already. Thankfully however today was a quiet day in the guild and Alexandria dressed in sleeveless fit-and-flare black frock with a pointed collar, a white bow and black heels, sat in the corner of the guild hall enjoying some green tea and cookies. She didn’t have much to do lately she so she found herself either sitting by idling waiting for some sort of job her Guild Master to give her to quell her boredom or gathering information on the magic council and the light guilds, which still wasn’t much help either way.

Though she heard the doors of the guild open she didn’t really care to see who it was that had entered. It was either a guild member whom she cared little for or someone that had a death wish. “State your business.” She said in reply to the person who queried if anyone was around. Judging from the sound of the person’s voice it sounded like a woman, then again there are a lot of weirdoes running around Magnolia lately so she would have to wait for the person to approach before she could confirm that.

Turning her attention to who ever was asking her a question, Another woman Cassidalia assumed it would have be a male around if anything but she would not say anything or complain Since she had never been here this was the first person aside form the guild master she would have met, She just looked at the outfit she seemed like an interesting person to most likely to talk too.

"Dropping off the information I was ordered to go get by Rapheal."She said replied walking over to the woman who spoke her."That is what my business is here."With the sound of clicking form high heels getting louder Cassidalia stopped right in front of her."Aside from that it might not be as important, I am seeing what the guild house is like since it is my first time in here."It was a hint of her being a new member to the guild and just returning from a job, wedging the file in one of her underarms and walked over to the nearest  wall next to her and rested against it, crossing her arms resting a bit she figured she was stay here and talk if she would wanted the company or wished to have her around.

“Oh?” Alexandria said nonchalantly after hearing her explanation. Was this the person the Guild Master had spoken about recruiting? She did seem like a capable person seeing that she did complete whatever task he had given her with what seemed to be with relative ease and it was high time another woman had joined the guild, she was tired of seeing a bunch of being the only woman around here, it made her feel uncomfortable at times.

“Allow me to be the first to welcome you into the guild, apart from Raphael of course. I’m Alexandria; hopefully we’ll enjoy working with another in the future.” She said softly before taking another sip of her tea. “As you can see the place is pretty much deserted, our members tend to go off on their own and do whatever pleases them so the guild will tend to look like this from time to time.”

With the welcome Cassidalia stopped her leaning against the wall for the moment and put the file he had in her underarm down she did not really wish to carry it anymore. But she made sure the file was nicely put a small space away from Alexandria's tea and cookies so nothing would, the nice welcome meant good things for the moment in mind.

"Why thank you Alexandria."She responded as polite as she could sound besides the fact she did not have to be polite too often."I hope you do not mind I leave that there, it was a little tired of carrying since I wrote it down."Cassidalia then return to how she was resting before hand against the wall. But looked at Alexandria with the smallest of smile."I nearly forgot to tell you my name, Rude of Alexandria my name is Cassidalia A. Malforin."She never really wanted to give out her full name but since it was empty and just the both of them."I will be doing my own things as well But if you are alone most of the time I may clear up my time to stick around if you want me to."It was a offer of company seeing if Alexandria wanted it or not.

"That is after I do two things I do want to do that require for me to leave."One of them she would mentioned here mostly to see if she would her or not"One of them if you felt or wanted to come a long you could."Extending the invitation out to Alexandria to see if she was interested also.

She would simply nod when Cassidalia placed the file on the table she was sitting at. Since it was addressed to the Guild Master no one with an exception to the guild ace would dare open it plus it was on the table she was known to frequently sit at. Having heard Cassidalia’s offer she automatically rejected it in her mind. She wasn’t one that liked having people around her nor did she like walking around Magnolia, her life consisted of completing whatever tasks the guild master had set out for her, perfecting her magic and spending what idle time she had the way she was now, which no matter how you looked at it was an unhealthy and depressing way to live for a girl whom had just turned twenty. Maybe taking up her offer wouldn’t be such a bad thing after all? She could have fun for once in her life, if that was even remotely possible. “Hm, I wouldn’t mind having you stick around, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your schedule and sure I don’t mind tagging along with you not like I have anything else to do anyways. Where to exactly though?”

"The first part is just magic training by the master, stated I can come learn any time I feel, I just needed to figure out what I wanted to learn first."She had figured that out when on her way back form the task she had returned from all she needed now was to learn then go of using it."That part will most likely take place here so I can stay here until that comes around."

"The more fun part however is a trip to Onibus."It was the place she was heading off to later."I heard my younger sister finally got herself enough money to open up a clothing shop there."This was the part she wanted Alexandria to come along for."I figured I would pay her a visit since I have not seen her in a few years and have a small conversation with her, If are interested in joining me I am sure you and I could find some nice things in the Onibus market place if we do not get anything form my sisters clothing shop." Cassidalia then let out a tiny smile and then asked Alexandria the question of."So, are you interested? I will pay for a few things if you do not have much money."Cassidalia left a small offer along with it for the moment trying to spark up a friendship with some one was working off for her.

“Onibus huh?” Alexandria said to herself after hearing Cassidalia’s plans for the day. Though she was finding it difficult to break her cycle she was determined to she would, even if she enjoyed or self or not. Although knowing her she wouldn’t. “The trip to Onibus does seem interesting, the last time I went there was with my fiancé and I had a good time. Maybe going back will trigger happy memories.” She admitted with a smile on her face as she remembered the good ole days that unfortunately didn’t exist anymore. “There will be no need to pay for my dear; I should have some money put around here somewhere.”

"Good to hear, now it is to hope it turns out a nice trip for the both of us huh?"She mentioned with good intentions because she lived with you never know who was watching or following you kind of thought in her mind something Cassidalia partly wanted to get rid of but not at the same time since she was use to it."It would have been a bore to travel and shop alone when you would prefer to be around the company of others for once."

"So Alexandria."Cassidalia pause for talking for a moment it sounds liked a question and a wonder at the same it would be one that would either be a really short answer or one with longer details. "What are the other guild members like here? anything I should be weary about when it comes to other members here?"Cassidalia wanted to know what she was going to have to deal with when she would be roaming around here on her free time It gave her insight on people whom she may avoid meeting or seeing.

Hopefully it does. She thought as she poured herself some more tea. “Company is good at times I suppose. Wouldn’t you prefer to sit though?” She said calmly as she noticed that the woman was still standing, was it because she didn’t offer her a seat at the table she was sitting? If so Alexandria hoped she didn’t think too much into it considering it was just her personality. “You can take the chair in front me if you like; you can also help yourself to see tea and cookies.” She said before taking a sip of her tea.

“I’ve only met all the other members once during a Guild meeting and they seem to be nothing special in my opinion, a gathering of weaklings was my first impression especially one in particular you’ll know him when you see him, complete and utter trash.” Her words were harsh and critical of her fellow guild members but this was yet another side of her lovely personality, Cassidalia would be better off getting information for herself regarding this matter since Alexandria was a bit judgmental. “Although Dumah is quite dependable he is one of the few I can actually vouch for.” Picking up one the cookies she would it to her lips before speaking again. “I personally believe you should be weary of everyone. You might never know when someone will sacrifice you to achieve their goals.”

Raphael had walked in, he returned alone. The meeting didn't go as he plan and due to that he would had to do something about it. He rubbed his chin as he walked down the guild halls, it was quite which could only mean the others were off on either missions or off training. The sounds of two women talking was faint but as Raphael had got closer could be heard. "Ah Alexandria and Cassidalia. I take it you both are back from your duties. I'm glad to see you made it back Cassidalia and can only assume the mission was a success."

Raphael had walked pass the two and dropped a set of papers on a desk nearby, he took off his jacket and placed it on the back of a chair before sitting down and facing the two.

"I guess I should sit down since you offered so nicely."Cassidalia did not think about it but her foot where a tiny bit sore from the walk. After sitting down she took the the metal high heel boots she wore with the clank of her putting them on the ground."I enjoy my heels but sometimes they hard the feet, I should consider investing in some normal shoes on my off time to wear."She stated about he wearing of heels but took into account what was said."I already live with that of mind set people may throw me away from there own goals."mention of people being trash meant she may have to becareful because she just hit A class herself she would not bring it up here."I will keep what you mention of them in mind."Cassidalia said she liked opinions of others it gave her something to go off to start with.

Carefully pouring herself a cup of the green tea Cassidalia lifted the cup slowly with two fingers in the tea cup's loop and her thumb as well leaving her other two fingers around the cup and took a small drink. With the sound of Raphael's voice Cassidalia with her free arm lifted the file from the table and raised it over to him after taking a sip."They have a pretty good magic detection system in place but I got what you requested on file for your eyes only."She stated to her guild master. She waited for him to take the file and took another drink of the tea she held in her hand it was wonderful tasting green tea."I also am back to come talk with you about that magic training also since I now know what I wish to learn."It was one something she wanted to learn quickly and be done with it since she did not want to learn a lot of magic really."And unless you need me or Alexandria for anything I would like to have her come along with me on a small relaxing trip out of town for a day two days at best we maybe gone."She mention incase some really came up since it would have been something they could have been ordered to do by Raphael himself.

Alexandria was once told heels, like diamonds, were a girl’s best friend but also her worst enemy. She understood perfectly the plight of standing in heels for too long but it was the price they had to pay to look their best. Though her face was expressionless, she was quite pleased that Cassidalia took her words into consideration, maybe it was just her personality or her years of being around shady characters that made her be on her guard around people that she should consider as comrades but they had certainly done nothing to earn her trust or her respect.

With the Guild masters introduction to their little tea party, Alexandria simply sat silently as they both conversed. She had no idea what they were speaking about nor did she know of this mission that he had given her.

Raphael took the files and began to read it, he was right with giving Cassidalia this mission. He looked over the notes of papers he had laid downm on the table. Nodded his head at Cassidalia request before stacking the files and papers together. "Ah yes, you can go take a break, you both did well and deserve it. Make it three days, we won't be making moves as of late and Dumah can take the next assignment I have. As for your training, I'll train you whenever. If you want the training before you leave that can be arrange, or when you return same thing." Raphael had closed his eyes, he was still sore at the meeting earlier but he had an idea for a plan.

"Those who refuse to lend their hand for knowledge will be dealt with. That guild of demons sadly won't be join us. And should be made an example of don't you think Alexandria? We need to regroup for the time being but we can use this to cause rifts within the council. I'll led the Council and Exodus Seis to fight each other. If correctly done the council would be weak along with Exodus Seis. But more importantly we will have freedom to go to the chambers deep beneath the council tower." Raphael was talking out loud, after all Exodus Seis had to be dealt with Raphael wasn't sure of their position. They could turn to be thorns in his plans if they weren't dealt with in time. Sabertooth could be the key that Raphael needed. "Sting and Rogue, I hate to frame such worthy foes but they are needed if we're to storm inside the council's tower without detection."

"The two magics I ended up wishing to learn will not take long in thought so I would prefer to learn it before I leave even now if I could." With a the smallest smile on her face she felt it would not take long but in truth she also smile about what else could happen would she knew how to use one of the spells she mention it was something she considered perfect."But if not now before I leave with Alexandria would be prefer I will not force anything since I am not the type of lady too."Only saying that because she had respect for a men for look into the eyes of a killer and did nothing would she not force it.

She kept quiet for the mention of a guild of demons it was not something she had been a part of but would listen, reaching over to the plate of cookie she took one and took a bite all she thought to herself for that moment was.*These cookies are pretty good* however that moment she also wondered.*What would he want to do at that place?*maybe it would mentioned if not she would not ask it did not have to do with her at this time but would still listen anyway in case something came up.

Alexandria couldn’t help but feel disappointed about giving such a lengthy break. She hadn’t been doing much recently other than having tea with herself and the odd job here and there, but if the guild master said so she had no other choice but to take a “break”. Perhaps Cassidalia’s arrival was a good thing after all as only god knows what she would’ve done to stem the ever encroaching boredom, after all being restless tends to make her create havoc for her own amusement.

“Yes they should be made an example of.” She said softly taking up another cookie and placing it to her lips. Though she had heard of Exodus Seis it was only now she had heard of them being a guild of demons which interested her maybe one day she would do some recon of her own.

Raphael stood up he rubbed his chin he had the files in one hand, and his jacket in his other hand. "I'm ready whenever, if you wish to learn something now then knock on my door, I'll be retiring in my quarters for the time being. Alexandria, I know your tired of resting due to the quiet days. But I would need you and Cassidalia after your trip. I'll inform you once you two return and as of now it's no concern." Raphael nodded at Alexandria, when she agreed with him. He figured the two women had more to discuss it was only fair for them to finish their conversation.

Raphael nodded his head at the two, he walked to the doorway and stretched a bit before letting out a small yawn. He glanced back at the two his yellow eyes lit from the doorway. "Cassidalia, when you are ready just knock on the door. Enjoy the trip you two, when you return we'll start preparing for battle." With that Raphael had left the two to enjoy their treats and conversation.

[Exit]

Watching the guild master leave she took a few more bites of the cookie she hand still in her hand. Thinking what else she could mention to Alexandria for a bit more small talk or she should just dismiss her self and return when she was done the learning she requested it was something she did not know how long it would be but at least the trip could be right away.

But she had one thing she could ask it was something."Be made an example of huh?"She said after she was done eating the cookie."What do you do to make an example of something or some one?"Cassidalia asked Alexandria that question then finished off the cup of tea she also had in front of her it was the only thing she could wonder to learn more about the person she was going to spend time with for a few days.

It was the last question she wanted to ask her it had a lot of ways to respond to it so she liked giving out that question."Mind you I am sorry but after your answer I am going to leave to get that training done, But just remember we will also have a lot time to talk and explore well do something anyway, I will try to be s quick as I can about it so we can leave for Onibus."

“Hm? Why I mean killing them of course.” Alexandria answered nonchalantly before yawning softly. She didn’t know if she and the Guild Master were on the same wave length but whenever she said she was going to make an example of someone she meant she was going to end their pitiful existence. Hopefully she was the one that would be given that glorious task, she was always interested in fighting with a demon and though she wasn’t one for science she was also interested in dissecting one she heard demon organs were valuable.

“No need to rush your training, I won’t be going anywhere. I’ll probably still be here anyways.” A soft sigh escaped her lips when the thought of her still sitting her after Cassidalia left and when she was finished training, but it wasn’t like she had anything better to do.

Turning to side way on her chair and started putting one of her iron heel boots back on."I would do the same thing."she mention as it seemed like it was normal to hear mention of murder it was normal for Cassidalia herself to murder but it was random killings."Mind you I also kill just because I feel like it."She mention while putting the other metal heel boot on."It does not seem like you would judge me for it, but I could be wrong we do not know each other very well yet."She mentioned while standing up.

"I might not need to rush my training but I do hate the feeling of being bored with nothing to do."She mentioned with a tiny smile on her face and started stretching out a bit and took a few steps."So, I will be back shortly Alexandria."She chuckled a tiny a bit for a moment."Try and not to get too too bored waiting."she said walking to where the guild master heading to start learning what she wanted too hopefully it will not take long.

[Exit]
