Who: Rita Mordio and Estellise Sidos Heurassein
Where: Belkend; The Heurassein Manor.
When: Waaaay back before Estelle left with Raven.
Warnings: Rita Mordio has a temper. Srsly.


She sat at a relatively small table in her room. Her maid had brought over a various assortment of small teatime treats, along with some tea itself, and two cups. The nearby window was open, and a light breeze blew as she sat at that table.

Across from her sat another girl; one she was only barely acquainted with, but one that she valued even so. It was her first real friend.

Or, well, so she considered her. Her parents had asked Rita to spend some time with her, since she got so lonely while being confined to the manor. With how Rita was ordinarily, Estellise couldn't imagine that Rita's decision to accept that request was her first answer, but she was glad it was her final one. Estellise hardly ever got to interact with anyone her age; and despite Rita being a few years younger, it was close enough.

She lifted a plate off the table, offering it toward the smaller girl on the other side of the table.

"Would you like some, Rita?" She asked, an ever cheerful smile on her face.

What in Lorelei's name had possessed her to accept? Maybe it's because they'd keep asking. Now, she had to spend time with this other girl when she should be back in her lab, working more on her studies! Rita silently groaned. Upon the question presented to her, the fonist paused. She was a little thirtsy, but still...

"Fine, sure, whatever." She responded. What was this, a tea party? Ugh, that sort of thing was so girly. Why did she, the genius fonist of all people, have to put up with this?! She just needed a little patience, and then she could get back to her beloved work.

Unfortunately, patience was not something Rita usually possessed.

Great, now Rita felt bad. Why should she? ...Well, this girl seemed lonely, and didn't seem the type to revel in it. She really should get going, then, since she was allowed to, but... Guilt wracked her consciousness. The fonist could not leave now... Maybe...she could stay just a bit. but only a bit.

"Yeah, I've just got a lot on my mind." The younger girl replied. "but there's not really anything I need to get done right now, so... Whatever." Rita hesitantly reached for a cookie, brought it back to her and nibbled on it. Her eyes lit up in pleasant surprise as she found that the cookie...was quite sweet and tasty. The brunette may not admit it, but...she loved sweet things. Gels especially...

"B-but don't get me wrong! I just...needed something to do!" The girl slightly stammered. She didn't want Estellise to get the wrong idea... It's not as if they were friends or anything!

"H-hey! I told you. I just had nothing better to do, and besides..." Rita trailed off. She might not have been how she is now if she had not been adopted by the Belkend researchers. Not...as if she cared that much, of course. She didn't need other people to live. She had her research and her fonology studies. Tinkering with things and studying is what she lived for.

Yet, still... Human companionship was something that she hadn't had much of for a while... She mused as she idly continued to nibble the cookie. Agh! No, she didn't care! She was just being stupid! It was probably just because of the Estellise girl, who seemed to invite people to open themselves more. Yeah, she really shouldn't stay long if this would keep up. The genius fonist mentally groaned.

"It's nothing!" The researcher quickly retorted, her tone coming off much more sharply than she intended. Maybe it would get the pinkette off her back.

Why should she relate her life story to this girl, anyway? They had only met a short time ago! It wasn't even that interesting, anyway. She was born, her parents disappeared, she was adopted, she researched, she was lonely. Boo-hoo. Not like anyone, including herself, cared.

In the silence, Rita ran a few formulas through her head. If she had to stay here for a bit...the least she could do was that. The genius fonist reached for the book tied around her back and flipped open to a certain page, muttering the text she was reading under her breath. The silence suited her fine. She could read over this stuff and try to see if her hypothesis was correct... Later, she could test it out.

Ending her thought process, Rita glanced up from her book and blinked. Estellise was looking so longingly outside... What, was she stuck in here or something? ...Well, the other girl did see rather...naive.

"You look like you've never been outside, Estellise." The fonist commented plainly. Maybe...

So she was right. That was...well, sad. Even Rita, though she liked staying cooped up in her house, was free to go outside when she wanted...

"So, then...why?" The researcher asked, her voice softer. Was her parents really that bad? She figured Estellise was sheltered, but...not even that much. Surely she could go outside to a garden or something, but... Rita supposed not even that.

"Hmm..." The calculating look returned to Rita's eyes. She really did feel sorry for this girl. She wanted to help...

ugh, Estellise was already rubbing off on her, and how exactly does that happen?! Whatever. Maybe if...

"Well, Estellise...I think maybe you should be ready to talk to your parents. I really need to get going. I-I'll...see you around later, okay?"

Rita would make sure that Estelle could be free.

"I-if you want to..." Rita stuttered, not knowing what to say at such words. "It was...different." What was she supposed to say? Say it was the best time she ever had, when, obviously, it wasn't? Yeah, like that would happen.

So, now she had somewhat of a plan... A) Demand Estellise let out for a bit, but that wouldn't quite work, and threats might harm her reputation; B) Sneak Estellise out, but that really wasn't her style; or C) Ask her parents if Estellise could help her with research or an experiment... But how could she make that true?

As they walked, the brunette posed the question: "Do you know anything about fonology?"

"You're a seventh fonist?" That was something unexpected, but...that worked perfectly! Rita knew she could not control the seventh fonon, and she need to study it. So maybe... Well, she knew of no one else in Belkend who could manipulate the seventh fonon, so that would mean that Estellise was quite the viable study material...

"Hmm..." She thought aloud. "Did you read that in some book?"

"Hmm..." Rita closed her eyes as she gave the matter some thought. "Then do you mind if we speak with your parents before I leave? I have something important to ask them, and it might be best if you're there." If Estellise were present, she just might help persuade her parents to let her go. She would be protected enough, as she was, after all, in the presence of the genius fonist of Belkend. Why should they worry?

((OoC: Could you possiblly npc them? :o))

Rita took a deep breath. "As you know, I'm a fonologist, and a fonist, but I can't control the seventh fonon. Estellise told me she's a seventh fonist, and so I thought to ask you if she could come to my place for studies and assisting me in some of the projects I am working on. Estellise is the only one I could ask to do it, because there aren't any other seventh fonists here in Belkend that I know of." The brunette paused to take in the expressions on the nobles' faces before she continued on.

"And if you're worried about her safety, she'll be fine. I am the genius fonist, Rita Mordio." The researcher crossed her arms and awaited a response.

Rita sighed and tapped two fingers to her head as her eyes closed. "No, I don't mean that she'd be a test subject. It'd be true that I would study her and have her help me, but I would do nothing directly to her. There is no way any harm could come to her!" The fonist wondered how she could explain it all, and then persuade them enough. An idea came to her, then. Why not use a logical appeal? It was what she was good at, after all.

"Why would I do anything that could possibly harm Estellise? If she would be my assistant and help my research, harm coming to her would hinder any progress!" The researcher opened her eyes and lowered her arm. "She also seems to have an extensive knowledge of material from books," Okay, so she didn't really know how much Estellise knew, but she needed to find more reasons for her to come! "so what she knows will be useful! Why don't you ask her if she'd like to, and let her decide? She's old enough, isn't she?"

"Yeah. I swear, she won't get hurt." Rita replied solemnly. "If anyone even thinks about hurting her, I'll give them a piece of my mind." Her cheeks were tinted the slightest red, embarrassed at being nice. "A-anyway. I'll...come around for Estellise sometime, and whenever I come to get her, I'll bring her back by nighttime. Is that all right?" Finally, she could study the seventh fonon! And Estellise could experience freedom...

No.
Stop.
That.
Thought.
Estellise was not her friend! Just...an assistant!

Rita nodded. "I will." The genius fonist turned towards the pinkette. "I'll come see you sometime this week, Estellise." She paused. "Oh, yeah. Thanks for the tea and cookies...I guess." She waved a little awkwardly and turned to leave. "Uh...see you, Estellise."

As she walked off, the researcher could not deny the small, but still visible smile on her face.
