Nightshift 26: F25

[lady_general]

The man on the radio and the... Head Doctor, Celes supposed, had finished their tired arguments and left Celes considering her options. First and foremost, she would be waiting for Larsa and his companion. Still, her curiosity ran thickest when the man on the radio said something about a fire monster

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Lady Celes?" Larsa's voice called from behind the door. "It is I, Larsa. I apologize if we kept you waiting long."

After all, it was rude to have a woman wait no matter their rank or class. The child hoped that the blonde was not too aggravated by their current performance, especially since it felt as if a good deal of the night had already passed. He forced himself to suppress a sigh, hoping that was not the case and instead they would gain at least one fruitful night.

Celes was about to ask Mion another question, when Larsa's voice floated through the door. "A moment, Mion," she said softly, and stood up to answer the young lord knock, opening the door cautiously. She certainly did not wish to be caught unaware!

Her expression was calm and her manner graceful as she pushed the door open the rest of the way and allowed them entry. "It is good to see that you've made it safely here," she greeted them. Her gaze pushed around in the darkness to the tall blonde man, questioning his visage. "Please come in, I've a request of you, before we depart."

Noah was surprised to see the comely woman who opened the door, and not the girl he had been expecting. Giving a side glance to Larsa, he stepped forward to give the blonde woman a curt nod. He stepped forward, eyeing her as much as she did him. "Greetings, Lady Celes."

Truly, the young Lord knew no bounds.

"I am Larsa's guardian, Noah." He quickly introduced himself, wasting no time in following into the room behind Larsa. "What is it you require?"

Larsa glanced warily between the two, hoping their first impressions exceeded his expectations. He did his best to look as passive as ever before gazing curiously up at the woman at her request. It was then when he noted the young woman that was also in the room, gracing the other in a sheepish manner before speaking up.

"What is it that you wish of us, Lady Celes?"

((slakjasdlasd epic sorry for being late in tagging, school ate me and I didn't see the notif orz orz H-Hope it's okay for me to pop back in?))

Mion looked back and forth between the two people who had just entered, knowing from experience gained from sitting in on meetings with her family that it would probably be rude of her to speak up until it was, well, her turn to do so, so she merely stayed quiet and waited for Celes to answer... Larsa's, Mion thought he had said from outside, question.

[lady_general]

(No, no you can't. Just kidding. <3)

Ah, it appeared that his companion was... well, there was no time to think upon Lord Noah's appearance. That could be saved for the day... assuming they survived the night, though in Celes's mind there was no doubt.

Celes smiled, demurely. "I humbly request that Miss Mion Sonozaki also join us this evening. There are others she knows... however, they appear to have left her by herself. I'd would feel safer knowing that she's protected."

The general bowed her head as she finished her request. Perhaps young Lord Larsa would be so kind as to grant it.

[judgemagister]

This wouldn't be the first time he'd have to look after an entire group. It also wouldn't be the last. Judging from the appearance of the Lady Celes as well as her manner, she couldn't be any less than a woman of somewhat higher standing. Just what sort of standing was unclear, and it was doubtful her world even had the same caste system as Noah's own.

Shrugging off the thought, the judge looked from the girl to his own young Lord, giving a curt nod. "I see nothing wrong with it. Do you accept, Lord?" Truly doubtful the child would even think twice about accepting, and Noah had little reservations of his own for the accompanyment.

If the child had any inkling of what exactly invaded his guardian's thoughts, there would have been no doubt in his mind that he would've requested Gabranth to bend over before promptly punching him in the face. Alas, Larsa had not been graced with the gift of telepathy, and so he stood there ever so oblivious.

At Celes's request the young lord found himself shaking his head, glancing over at said woman once more and offered another smile. "I've no qualms about Lady Mion joining."

[lady_general]

[[Skipping Mion with permission X3]]

"Excellent, thank you both very kindly." If Celes had known what Noah was thinking, she would've frozen him to the wall for his sexism. Instead, as the three nobles stepped into the hallway, Celes turned to Mion and nodded.

"If you please, Miss Mion," she said softly, the quiet authority of the general's voice was equally polite and firm. "I will make sure no harm comes to you, let us be off." She certainly did not plan to have Noah protect her charge, he had Larsa to attend to.
