Hildegarde wasn't all that amused, but she laughed along with Kaida anyway. Inside however, she was brimming with contempt. "How dare you laugh at me you scaly piece of shit? Who do you think you're talking to? Did you forget that I can kill you whenever I feel like it? It would only take thirty seconds out of my day." After a moment, she stopped laughing. "It was just a suggestion- I doubt anybody would be her friend voluntarily. She is pretty genocidal."
Kaida then rudely addressed Ignatius, who had been patiently brooding in the corner of the room. His pet bird was on his shoulder now, and from the looks of it the two were deep in conversation. Hildegarde made a small *tch* as she glared at the dragon. "That was uncalled for. I'll ask that you be polite and respectful to my friends while you're in my house." she said pointedly. Turning to the teenager, she smiled. "Ignatius, did you have something you wanted to say?"
"Oh, ah, yes. It's just my report, Lady Hildegarde." The boy relaxed slightly at Hildegarde's smile, and when he continued there was more confidence in his voice. "I delivered the letter like you asked me to. Your brother say's he'll head back home, and that he loves you and wants to get more letters."
Hildegarde beamed, causing the teenager to blush. "Perfect. One less thing I need to worry about." She was about to dismiss him, but Ignatius continued enthusiastically.
"Your brother seems really nice! Why couldn't you invite him here?" Not waiting for an reply, he began to giggle. "When I found him, he was healing the angriest looking woman I've ever seen. Lady Hildegarde look, this is what her face was like!" He contorted his face into a disgusted, condescending sneer, then broke it as he began to laugh.
Glancing at Kaida with an exasperated look, Hildegarde began to laugh as well. "Haha, wow! That is funny!" Giving the teenager a thankful expression, she continued. "You just got back, right? You ought to get some rest, the sun isn't even up yet." The boy nodded sleepily, as if he just realized how tired her was. He would begin to walk out the door, and Hildegarde turned back to the dragon and rolled her eyes.
"Now, where were we..."
