abyssianmelody | [CHAPTER 02 - SCENE] The Acolyte and the Fon Master Guardian

Who: Philia Felice, Colette Brunel
Where: Daath
When: After the party decides to head from Daath to Mushroom Road.
Warnings: None should pop up.

Philia was quite pleased with the fact that they had deciphered the meaning of Efreet's riddle so quickly, as Mushroom Road seemed to be the only plausible place they would be able to find the next clue as to attaining the Dark Aurora for Zelos. Even that, they had a few new friends to share the journey with. Not that she minded being alone with Zelos, but she definitely felt more at ease now that there were others she could talk with. Though... the fact that he's so readily flirting with their other members gave her an excuse to ignore him except when business was involved.

She was a priestess, and she herself took on a personal vow of chastity and abstinence, both physically and emotionally. Allowing him to get this deep under her skin was inexcusable on her part. She was unsure as whether to warn Colette or not; she was certain that Meredy wouldn't allow herself to fall for the philanderer's charms considering she was currently involved with Asch the Bloody, but Colette seemed... well, it was best not to judge, but Philia wanted to look out for the younger girl's best interests.

Knocking on Colette's door, Philia took a deep breath.

Colette had been sitting at her table sorting a few last-minute additions to her bags (had she packed enough gels and life bottles? But she didn't want to leave the cookies behind, either) when she heard the knock. She stood up--perhaps overeagerly--and accidentally knocked her chair over instead of pushing it back. With a squeak of alarm, she righted the chair, then rushed over to the door to get it--

--and nearly fell on her face when she snagged her toe on a wrinkle in the rug. Colette flailed, caught herself against the wall, straightened her clothes (and did her best to smile), then opened the door.

"Oh--Philia! Nice to see you here. Can I do something for you?"

"Oh, are you all right, Miss Brunel?" Philia gave her friend a concerned expression for her health and safety. Certainly Colette was rather infamous for her clumsiness to begin with; during this journey, Philia was hopeful that it wouldn't become a major concern. "You really should do something about this; it can't be too good for your health, Miss Brunel!" With a hint of being strict but also out of her concern for her well being, Philia's words had a slight tone of scolding.

Stepping inside and helping Colette at least straighten out the rug on which she tripped herself, Philia smiled once again. "I was simply wondering if you needed any help." She finally responded to Colette's inquiry.

"I-I'm sorry." Colette blushed and made a face, and went back to the table, trying to surreptitiously straighten her skirts as she did. "I think I have everything we might need, though, unless you can think of anything else!"

"Aa..." Philia was unsure as how to go about the topic, but considering that Colette was her friend regardless, she had hoped that it would be all right. "I know that you intend to travel with us, Sir Wilder's group, while searching for the Fon Master, correct?" Philia fixed the glasses to rest higher on the bridge of her nose. "I must warn you... Sir Wilder may be an important figure to the Order of Lorelei due to his connection with the Dark Aurora Arte, however, I must advise again growing too close to him." Her expression continued to contain a shade of a serious nature, though whether it was out of genuine concern for her friend's well being or rather jealousy, nobody could be sure.

Colette looked at Philia blankly, tilting her head a little.

"Why not? I-is something wrong?" she asked, completely puzzled. Philia had a very strange look on her face--Colette wasn't sure what was going on. And why... was it a bad idea to be close with Zelos? (Friends with Zelos? Was that what Philia meant? But they were traveling together, and he seemed like a nice person...)

Growing a bit red (whether it was from anger or jealousy or just plain blushing, nobody would be able to ascertain) Philia leaned over to Colette. "It's indecent! Think about the repercussions of associating with him other than on business, Miss Brunel!" Philia grabbed Colette by the shoulders, and if anybody looked hard enough they could see a shadow looming. "Your entire career as a Fon Master Guardian could be in jeopardy if you were to give him an inch; he'd take a mile, and then some!" Backing off, Philia caught her breath, and resumed to being her cheerful polite self.

"Aa... in any case, I'd advise against associating with Sir Wilder on any deeper level than professional." Tilting her head into the palm of her hand, Philia chuckled.

"I-indecent? My career? A-a mile?" Colette repeated, bewildered. She didn't understand at all--maybe she'd have to ask Meredy what Philia meant about this. Or why the other girl was acting so... strangely about it. All she could do right now was stare out of very round blue eyes and blush faintly from the force of Philia's insistence.

"Well, now that you know the situation, we may proceed without any further complications~" Philia's pleasant tone had no hint of what had just transpired. "I'll be sure to tell the others that you're almost ready, so please take your time, Miss Brunel." A slight laugh came from Philia, as she made her exit rather hastily.

[ooc: ... I half expected that to happen, but the other half is still a bit surprised ^^;; Anyway, thanks for the log, and later this week i'll try to put something up on the OoC comm to see where the RP stands at with everybody.]

Colette just stared after Philia as she left, utterly confused, for almost a minute. She was definitely going to have to ask Meredy what was wrong--and keep an eye on Zelos, although she didn't think he was really going to do anything to make her lose her position as a Fon Master Guardian.

[hee, you're welcome. Zelo~s, better straighten yourself out~, Philia's after you now! :D;]
