YOU HUMMED, staring right at Ace. Currently he was venting out his situation to you. He had done the mistake eating a tart, probably meant for an event in his dorm. His house-warden was by his description as angry as a wet kitty. And you can find fault at both sides, on one hand Ace shouldn't have had taken that slice of tart, and nor did his House-ward need to kick him out at night for this 'offense.'

But what did you know about dealing with a easily angered house warden? If anything...the house warden somewhat reminded you when your mother was still...a diamond. You sighed . Burying the memory away as you stirred your tea.

You made jasmine tea to calm everyone's nerves.

"Hey, you know, Ace, that tart could've been reserved for a special occasion! You don't mess with the food of another man!", Grim huffed, looking judgingly at Ace, before remembering that he himself just 'discovered the truth', now going on about being a good detective.

Grim in a way acted like a zircon, but less smarter in some aspects. Maybe a ruby, but he wouldn't dare work with anyone but himself, so I guess a zircon would come close to his personality. Specifically from yellow's court.


"...Ace, you're staying with us, it's raining, and you're not going to sleep outside.", you almost commanded with how your gaze wasn't as gentle, probably because he had woken you both up so late.

Ace flinched, "yes...ma'am!", he shuddered. You really had an unpleasant glare if it was directed at him specifically. And if it was just the lack of sleep he had, your eyes for a split second turned a glint of pink. And it wasn't a pleasant pink one would choose to look at night in the dark.


"...Ace, I cleaned up some rooms upstairs in ramshackle, take any room you like, excluding mine, it has a pink flower drawn on the door, that one is mine."


Ace only nodded. "..so I can choose anyone room?.. cool.", he mumbled. For a reason it felt a little uncomfortable with you, despite you showing him hospitality, you had a slight distant attitude. Not that he was opposed by it, he understood since you're well..a girl in an all boys school. And he wasn't a whopping straight A, model student either. That was Juice's job.


"..what do you guys do for fun here, at ramshackle I mean.", Ace asked, slightly clawing at the red collar around his neck, the elephant in the room was that damned collar. Your reaction just seemed so lukewarm on what he initially expected.


"..Ace. Do you think I can rip your collar apart?", you asked, okay maybe you were in fact planning on helping him! Alright but what kind of girl would go around ripping up magical collars?! Apparently you.

"You better trust her Ace, no joke, I saw how she once ripped a tree in half by accident when gathering fire wood, you should be worried that she won't rip your head with that collar.", girm's ears flattened, before tiredly chuckling. They both looked at your stoic expression.
