Circe's Manor

[Circe]

Was he? *Despite Ellen's trying to switch things up, Circe is still easily able to catch the ball and throw it back.*

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Yeah. *continues the game as normal, sighing* ...He somehow manages to make me feel like a complete heel. Must be an extension of his lifeguard duties or something.

[Circe]

Huh... You think he has something against magic?

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Well, it was due to Himitsu that he fell in love with Mom in the first place...

[Circe]

Ah. You bring up an excellent point, there...

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...He doesn't mind Mom's magic all that much... he probably just doesn't want me to get hurt, or get permanently turned into a monster, or something potentially worse.

[Circe]

Well, I hardly think this is as bad as any of that.

[Jello Shot Mischa]

(( Reading this thread makes me want to join in... that, and there's a pool! ))

Mischa decides that he hasn't seen a certain witch in ages... and thus rings the bell at the front gate!

[Circe]

(Ha, all right!)

Yes...? *A maid, the same one who greeted Ellen earlier, comes out to meet Mischa.*

[Jello Shot Mischa]

(Ha, all right!)

Yes...? *A maid, the same one who greeted Ellen earlier, comes out to meet Mischa.*

Mischa smiles at the maid! "Hello! Is the lady of the manor in, and available to see a guest?" he asks.

[Circe]

Well, she does have another guest over right now... But, I doubt she'd mind too much. *The maid opens the gate for Mischa.*

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Well, she does have another guest over right now... But, I doubt she'd mind too much. *The maid opens the gate for Mischa.*

"Ahh... I do hope I haven't come at a bad time, then," Mischa says, nodding to the maid politely as he walks through the gate. "If it's all right for me to ask, who is the other guest?"

[Circe]

Just one of Ambush Cat's kids... Ellen, I think her name is. *The maid closes the gate once Mischa's in and leads him inside.*

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Just one of Ambush Cat's kids... Ellen, I think her name is. *The maid closes the gate once Mischa's in and leads him inside.*

"Ahhh, I see... well, I suppose she won't object if I stop by to say hello." He glances at the maid. "So how is Circe doing these days?"

[Circe]

Oh, well enough, I think... Could probably be worse, at least... *The maid stifles a yawn as she heads up to the swimming pool Ellen and Circe are using.*
