Ever Twisted

Chapter 18: A Deal in the Making Part 3

Azul: It appears the staff already finished tidying up like I requested. Come, I will show you where we can put them down until I could find a proper spot for the boxes.
Raven: Um, sure.

As she carefully placed the box on the table, Raven let out a sigh of relief for the moment; reflecting on the situation at hand.

Raven: (Why didn't Minerva tell me that the housewarden and the manager of the lounge was the same person?)(Was she really hoping I would stay away from anything related to this dorm or something?) ( Well it's already too late for that. Okay just calm down, you can get out of this just think.)

Thinking it over, Raven remembered something that Vil told her a few days ago.

Flashback~

Vil:  Headmaster Crowley said that as a descendent of the great seven, you need to know how things work here. Luckily for you Ms. Queen I shall give the rundown of the seven *mutters* since I doubt he would.
Raven: Is this really necessary for you to teach me this? Because if it isn't I could just look it up myself.
Vil: Nonsense. I'll let you know I am still your housewarden; so therefore it is my duty to make make sure you adapt quickly. Besides it would not take very long at all to learn the basics. Now, I know you can probably piece together which ancestor is for which dorm, but just to make sure I'll give you a quick rundown. As you already know, the Great Seven were mages of high status— whether it is by social status or not— either ruling kingdoms such as
the Queen of Hearts and yours truly; are someone with advanced knowledge and abilities such as the Sea Witch—

Flashback ends~

So with that information— along with the large fish tanks that replaced some of the walls and part of the dorm's name literally sounded like octo— as in the octopus, Raven came to the conclusion that the dorm follow the Sea Witch. As in THE Sea Witch, the same one who made a deal with a mermaid to give her legs in exchange for her voice. An uneasy feeling jolted her body as her feet were planted in place. Looking at him, Azul does not strike as a menacing figure at the moment like Minerva said; but at the same time he wasn't like she described. Actually, thinking it over the housewardens she might before had at least one trait the those villains.
If Riddle has the Queen of Hearts's rage and Vil has her mother's vanity, does that mean he and trait tied to the witch of the sea? Probably yes.

Azul: I believe we can lay the boxes right about here.
Raven:...
Azul: Ms.Queen, are you not listening?
Raven: Uh!? Come again?
Azul: I said you can place the boxes here on the counter.
Raven: Oh right. Sorry about that.

Getting a hold of herself, Raven quickly grabbed one of the boxes and pulled it on the counter Azul pointed to; when the latter asked her something.

Azul: Ms. Queen, if I don't mind asking; what was your reasoning for coming outside today? It's quite unusual not seeing you without your guard d— I mean...
Raven: My what?
Azul: I mean it's...it's just usually when I spot you you're normally around Vil or your dorm members;*mumbles* or that very annoying group of first years... The point I'm trying to make is that there's at least one person around you....

Azul could barely get that sentence out. This only shows how valuable this opportunity truly is. While it is best to get more valuable information from the girl as both a descendent and classmate, it's also best to not cross the line when she would get suspicious or worst for the matter.

Raven: Uh...I am with Vil. It's just he had a lot of things to do around campus and wanted me to tag along with a few other people; but after an hour or two It felt a tad overwhelming and I just went out for some air.... by myself.
Azul: So if I am hearing this correctly, at the moment you are unguarded? Having no one following you or know your whereabouts what so ever?
