<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">Pricilla:</span><br/>Hearing as Grace went on Pricilla had to suppress a sigh and an eyeroll at her roommate. They were starting to talk in circles now.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Alright I got it, you don't trust or like Cavin. But maybe he just doesn't want you to know he cares... I mean isn't usually the grumpy ones who care the most? Look at <i>Snow White and the Seven Dwarves</i>... Grumpy is always the first to warm up to Snow, he just hides it from everyone until the very end."</span>okay so that wasn't the best comparison, but a similar point, or so she hoped. She doubted anyone here did anything for spite, or that was her hope at least.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Also it doesn't help that he does work <i>really</i> hard to keep everything looking nice, and you falling into the flower bush or bed, which ever you call it, did damage his <i>work</i>, his babies as it were. As for the Headmaster, don't you think he's a little too busy to be presiding over detentions?"</span>she asked the last question with an arched eyebrow. For a moment she felt some kind of magical serge coming from the direction of the Admin building, something like a magical item being activated. But even as she glanced that way she pushed the thought away, it couldn't be anything she should worry about, though it did confuse her a lot.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Dessert during lunch? we really have time?"</span>she added as she watched Grace.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:deepskyblue">Lucinda:</span><br/>She arched an eyebrow at the other girl's reply she simply chuckled,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:deepskyblue">"Well, no matter, but just keep an eye on the Olympic Trials and you'll find out all you need to know."</span>she said with a slight bit of cockiness. Then she was silent once more,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:deepskyblue">"It wasn't that bad."</span>she added off handedly as she finished her food and drink after another minute or so. Hearing the last question she shook her head,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:deepskyblue">"I think I'm fine for the moment."</span>she answered before pushing her chair back and starting to get up.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:deepskyblue">"Now if you'll excuse me, I should go finish moving in."</span>she said before pushing the chair in and starting towards the door. She didn't know what the other girl would do, but given the time it was likely they had to be back in class soon.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:purple">Morgan</span>&<span class="fixed-color" style="color:red">Elisia</span>:<br/>Morgan watched the display with narrowed eyes, not noticing Sebrina moving over until she was about to reach for Morgan's injured arm. This stirred her and caused her to lean towards the opposite arm of the chair.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:purple">"I'm fine!"</span>she snapped perhaps a little too sharply. The Deputy Headmistress noticed the conflict this might cause and moved over placing a comforting hand on Sebrina's shoulder and pulling her back a step.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson">"Don't be upset her her words, Morgan's pride has been wounded and she does not wish to be seen a weak. She will come around when she is ready to."</span>she said in a low voice so only Sebrina could hear.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson">"But things often get worse before they get better."</span>she added as she had a feeling she could guess exactly what Merlin was about to ask of Elisia and Bell.<br/><br/>Elisia followed suit, kneeling as Bell accepted, and knowing she couldn't let her out do her, a rivalry was being born.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:red">"I accept also!"</span>she replied. She didn't know why, but kneeling felt like the right thing to do at this moment. Merlin smiled as they both accepted and nodded then arched his eyebrow in Bell's direction as if he knew what she was thinking.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:grey">"Ah, Bedivere, your Sword and Shield are not given or earned. You have the ability to summon them yourself when <i>you</i> are ready. No one else can give them to you, though with your armor it will be easier."</span>he said with a small smile as if she could read her thoughts.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:grey">"Now then, don't expect this assignment to be easy. But know Lady Gawain has had her eyes on both of you for some time, and she believes you two at the best suited for this task. A report I received before today's <i>incident</i> at the school. I hope that wont effect your ability to work together as a team."</span>he said as he gave them both a knowing look. As if on cue Georgia entered the room from a side door that no one had noticed before. But she wasn't in her school uniform, instead she was in a set of armor, almost like something out of a fantasy game, with a modern twist, given the skirt and thigh-high leggings and boots and leg armor. It fit well and accented her curves will still offering protection and maximum movement, the primary color of the cloth or leather bits being a shade of sea green with ocean foam colored accents. Her sword was secured in it's sheath, while there were knives along her belt and on a bandoleer across her chest.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:seagreen">"I hope you'll live up to my praise you two."</span>she replied with a smirk before drawing her sword and offering it to Merlin. He accepted the sword before turning back to Elisia and Bell.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:grey">"Please kneel ladies."</span>he knew Elisia was already kneeling so he waited for Bell to do the same before stepping forward and taping both of their shoulders as one would in a normal Knighting ceremony.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:grey">"Rise Lady Ector, and accept your role as Knight of the Round Table and Weapons Master. May you pass on your skills and knowledge to all your peers. Rise Lady Bedivere and accept your role as Knight of the Round Table, may you serve the reborn King, or Queen, when they awaken well."</span>he said as their was a flash and the pair where in their own set of armor now. Elisia's was perhaps even more regal then Georgia's, given her rank as Weapons Master, he colors were red with bronze accents. The metal of the armor as ever the silver of steel. As she stood she held out her hands and a two handed sword formed out of flames as her helmet disappeared in similar fashion in which she sword appeared.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:red">"Wow!"</span>she exclaimed, feeling the power and magic coursing through the sword and armor, in sync with her.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:grey">"Now then, your assignment."</span>Merlin pressed on, catching Elisia's attention as she lowered the sword, letting it rest blade down as she rested her hands on the pommel.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:grey">"You have proven yourselves to be brave, if a little reckless. And based on Lady Gawain's suggestion, I wish you two to be Morgan's bodyguards."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:purple">"WHAT!?"</span>The shock on Morgan's face and in her voice was clear. It left little room for anger, but it was there too,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:purple">"I don't need bodyguards!!!"</span>
