Circe's Manor

[AmbushCat]

*looks thoughtful for a moment, then snaps her fingers* I remember now. That Lady Uptown person, right?

[Circe]

Upton, yeah. As far as I can tell, she and Ookalf still running an antiques place out of my building.

[AmbushCat]

Hmm... *looks a bit regretful* Wish I could be of some help, but me and that type of person just wouldn't get along well.

[Circe]

Forget it. I wasn't exactly counting on you in particular, anyway...

[AmbushCat]

*looks relieved* Good. Means I don't to have to pay anything in damages.

*stretches a bit* Well, I'm going to head home and spend some time with my old teammates. Thanks for taking a moment to speak with me, Circe-san.

[Circe]

No problem. See you later.

[AmbushCat]

*nods, looking Circe in the eye* See ya... *grins playfully* Kawaii majo~!

*Zapana is out of the room the second she finishes saying this.*

[AmbushCat]

*Ding-dong! Who's that ringing at the gate, one wonders?*

[Circe]

Right, right... *A maid comes out and looks through the gate.* Who is it?

[AmbushCat]

*Ellen is standing at the gate, a thin box of some kind in her hands. Amber's Mismagius is perched on her head.*

Ellen: ... *nods in greeting to the maid* I'd like to visit Circe, if I may. Is she busy?

[Circe]

Oh, sure. I think she's in one of the libraries... *The maid opens the gate to let Ellen in.*

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ... Much obliged. *walks on through* ...Could you take me there, please?

[Circe]

Yeah, sure... *The maid yawns and leads Ellen inside.*

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: *follows along* ...Long work shift?

[Circe]

Something like that... *The maid leads Ellen through the halls, eventually leading her to a door marked "Library 5."* This should be the one...
