Bonds, First Meetings and Class

Once again Arla woke up in her case, but this time in a more happy mood as she got a good night's sleep from her newly refurbished room.

She opens her case and looks around her new wonderful surroundings and she gets up and makes her bed.

After a change of clothes with her blue flower apron she made her way to Charlotte's room. When she opened the door she was surprised to find Charlotte up and active.

"Charlotte, what are you doing?" Arla asked as she saw Charlotte on the floor stretching, moving from a split to her legs together so she could lean over and touch her toes.

"I'm stretching. I want to regain my strength and flexibility before the debut." Charlotte said, getting up on her feet and pulling her leg behind her and up to her head.

"But could you not do that in something that is not...I don't know your nightgown!" Arla scolded.

"I don't see what the problem is, it's just us." Charlotte said.

"Does it matter! There are proper ways of doing things and one of them is not in your nightgown." Arla said.

"Fine." Charlotte sighed and straightened herself out and went to get ready in the bathroom. As she did Arla went to work and cleaned the soot around the room.

"Hey, Arla, do you want to meet Emilico outside?" Charlotte asked, walking out of the bathroom.

"Hmm? I'm not sure I would like to help her outside but at the same time, we must prioritize. I believe it would benefit us both if we practice." Arla said as she wiped the inside of the window. Charlotte said nothing and just sipped her tea.

"Very well, that is a bit disappointing, however you are right." Charlotte said. As Arla was cleaning she noticed the black bunny on her vanity table sitting comfortably by the mirror.

"What an adorable black bunny, when did you make it?" Arla asked as she picked it up.

"Oh that's a project Charlotte's been working on, but it's not yet complete." Charlotte said.

"Oh,then I can't wait til it's completed." Arla said as she went back to cleaning.

"...Yeah, Charlotte as well can't wait for it." Charlotte said as she gave the bunny an intent. From there Arla cleaned the spaces between to collect the soot and then she put it in a bag, she sighed and wiped her forehead as she had soot on her hands and cheeks.

"You've worked hard once again, Charlotte  has prepared the bath for you to get cleaned up." Arla said as she came out from the bathroom with steam following after her.

"Thank you, but I can just go through the soot remover." Arla said as she made her way to it.

"No. Charlotte  will no longer allow you to go into that, from now on you use the tub." Charlotte said as she pushed Arla into the bathroom.

"But--"

*slam!*

"I am the Shadow Master, out of the two of us which means you must do as I say." Charlotte said.

"Fine, fine." Arla said and looked at the warm bubble filled tub.

"She is the Shadow Master, how can I object?" She sighed with a smile and hopped right in and gave a content sigh as her shoulder sunk into it.

This is nice~. Arla thought.

****

After a well deserved bath Arla came back clean as a whistle and well rejuvenated.

"Did you enjoy Arla?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes, I did thank you." Arla said.

"Then that's good, now it's time to get to the business at hand. Our training." Charlotte said and no sooner were it mentioned they sat in front of each other crossed legged.
