A moment later, a large cat padded into view, fluid and graceful. Fang emerged shortly thereafter, just as fluid, her hands raised in mock surrender and her grin crooked. "I come in peace," she drawled, and then chuckled at the stick. "What were you planning on doing with that thing, beaning me over the head?"

The panther walked in a wide circle around Aerith, then appeared to lose interest, instead padding to an empty, sun-covered spot in the garden and flumping down to sleep. Fang gave him a look that was half-fond and half-exasperated, rolled her eyes. "Lazy bastard."

As the panther came into view, Aerith's own daemon, a small fawn, hid behind the flower-girl's legs. Peering down at him, she cooed, trying to placate him.

"I might!" she held her staff out, recognizing the voice vaguely.

Who...

Her green eyes widened when she finally saw Fang. Bouncing a little, she beamed, dropping her staff onto the ground beside her.

"Why were you hiding, hm?" she glanced at the panther, giggling, "He has been working hard?"

Or maybe he was just lazy. The thought amused her quite a bit.

"Didn't want to bother you. You seemed busy." Fang smiled at the sight of the fawn, and then cast a glance over to her dæmon, shaking her head. "If you count sleeping, climbing trees, and talking to me as work."

The panther rumbled low in his throat and said to Fang, "It's more than you do." Impervious to her glare (and the rude gesture she may have made with her hands), he continued. "Why don't you tell the pretty girl I said hello?"

Fang put her hands on her hips, and rolled her eyes. "He says hello." She stared around the garden, rubbed the back of her neck. "Nice place you've got here. I actually dropped by for a reason -- do you have time to help me with something?"

Or I seemed busy... Aerith smiled shyly, nudging the Herbology book with her foot. Her fawn side-stepped the tome, rubbing his cheek against the edge of her skirt.

"Now you have a distraction!" he crooned. Aerith couldn't help but beam. Reaching down, she tried to pet over his ears.

"Does he?" she brightened even more, giving the panther a warm look, "Hi back!" she then glanced at Fang, blushing, "I've had help. The students are really good when they concentrate."

Crossing her arms behind her back, she hummed.

"Of course. What do you need help with?" she leaned forward, her ponytail sliding over one shoulder.

Currently Kakashi was engaging in one of his favorite activities, reading his book when he was supposed to be in office hours. Really, he'd found if the student had a real issue they generally were determined enough to wait him out, or smart enough to leave him a note, and there was just something satisfying about being out where no one could find him.

He'd noticed Aerith and Lighting having their conversation, but had decided not to interrupt, knowing well the importance of girl talk, and Lightning's temper. Instead he continued reading until they separated, then dropped down to throw Aerith a friendly wave.

"Yo."
