|| Need you Now || Lady Antebellum ||
Seraphina's eyes reflected something strange when Clover made the offer. Erika glanced at the two with curiosity, but didn't otherwise comment as Sera gave a feeble pet to Clover. What happened to the happy outgoing Sera? What happened to the jokester she liked to be? This Sera seemed almost like another person entirely - meek and fearful and suppressed. Her fingers moved delicately through the cat's fur which no doubt had taken a degree in psychology since a bit of the tension went out of Sera's face. "Thanks." Sera whispered very faintly as she took her hands off and left. Erika smiled a bit at Clover, feeling as if maybe she should be more active in trying to help her girlfriend. But... the truth was that nobles had to be nobles before they had individual interests, and her job was to uphold the Harrington name and not go into unapproved affairs that might hurt her family's prestige.
Manfred's offer was quite an interesting one. An unspoken special task in exchange for unlocking more of her mana and the possibility of mana going to Clover. "You two will have until the end of tomorrow to decide." Manfred said with a wicked sort of smile before dismissing the two girls from his study. Clover was very quick to inform her Master that she wanted magic, that she was willing to go through with the deal. "It'll probably just be a task to help keep power within the big three." Erika understood enough about politics to know what Manfred's biggest concern was. Someone like him definitely wouldn't ask her for a lewd favor. That was just weird and, well, Victoire was far prettier than anyone else here. What kind of doofus would go for an undeveloped child with Victoire waiting in the bed? Erika was very lucky that some of Lady Victoire's genes went to Sera. "We should probably say yes." She told her pet with a grin. "Then maybe we can trounce the True Heroine at our next meeting."
Once that was done, it was time for breakfast. Then, off to school. "My girlfriends are worried." Eamon said with a half smile as the three school-aged kids went to the limo. "We've spent enough time away, Berry." Sera snickered, hopping into the limo first as if anything strange this morning hadn't happened at all. "Come on! Our classmates have been asking about you, Rika! They want to make sure you're okay!" Erika nodded, following her brother and girlfriend in. "Then let's not worry them any longer." They arrived, the two girls going to the girl's side, and the Eamon about to go to the boy's side before his two girlfriends ambushed him with kisses and hugs and tears.
"Hey, girls!" Sera yelled loudly, hair flowing behind her like a brilliant mane of confidence. But what was under that mane, Erika couldn't help but wonder. But she wouldn't voice that concern, that wasn't proper. "Look who's finally rejoining us?" She gestured excitedly and Erika felt herself drowning under the tide of well wishes and sympathy and curious questions. "Um, for now I think we should get seated before the bell rings and our professor is cross with us?" She mumbled, not comfortable with this much close contact. "Remember." Sera grinned roguishly. "Only I'm allowed to touch her!" Erika giggled and nodded. "I just let her think she's the top." She retorted, happily back in their usual rhythm for now. "It makes it more fun when I steal the control away from her and show her her rightful place." If the bright red on Sera's cheeks was any indication, Erika still had what it took to top her.
