Serafina groaned. "You're joking right? What happens when she starts murdering people?"
When Ridley opened his door, it was to a baren room, a matress on the floor and two folding chair. There were no lights, so he sent a few white flames into the air. "Bathroom's through there. Don't lock the door, or you're going to have to break it down..."

Milo shrugged. "Who says she will?" He replied. "She's in a brand new world. She's disoriented, 418 years behind in terms of everything, and I bet all she wants is to go home so I think her priorities are more focused on the traveling back in time and less on the murdering people. Besides, if I were her, I'd keep a low profile."
Leopold peered into the so called "bathroom". "Wait... How...? What am I supposed to do here?" He asked, confused.

She groaned and shut the book. "I hate you. Just..." There was a loud crash from upstairs and she stared at him. "She's your project. I'm not getting murdered because you have a boner for her. Who knows, maybe she's naked up there." She walked towards the door. "I'm getting a coffee."
Ridley rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom. He pulled back the shower curtain. "This is a shower. Water comes out and makes all of you clean." Then he explained the toliet and sink. "Running water, a great fucking invention."

Milo rolled his eyes. "I am not planning on boning her ya know?" He told her. "Oh and get me a double mocha please!" He asked as she left. He smiled. So maybe they had a murderous witch in their house. Who cares? It's going to be fine. Probably. He shrugged and went upstairs. "Agatha?" He called out, knocking on the door to Serafina's room. "Are you okay in there? Should I come in?"
Leopold looked slightly bewildered but nodded. "O-Okay then." He said. "I shall need some assistance removing my armor." He told Ridley.

"How do you get these infernal things on? What even is all this?" She said from inside the room with an annoyed groan. She opened the door, holding up a towel. "The shower was easy... but are you sure these are clothes?"
Ridley sighed. "Alright, great..." He spun his finger. "Turn around we'll finger these God damn things off of you..."

Milo nodded, ignoring his light blush. She was quite attractive. "Well, yeah. I mean, of course they are going to be a bit different from those you are used to but..." He paused. "I could help you get dressed up if you don't mind... well, showing off some skin I guess. I mean, I'll try not to look too much but you know." He shrugged.
Leopold raised an eyebrow at the wording he used but he turned around. "There are two leather straps beneath my shoulder blades. Untie them. Then remove the upper half of my chest. The lower half is strapped to my hip guards and leggings so you will have to untie them too. After that, I am capable of dealing with the rest myself."

Agatha nodded. "I figured out the bloomers... but I could use some help with other things..." She dropped the towel and stared at him expectedly. "I could never have imagined them inventing something more terrible to put on than the corset."
Ridley nodded, untying the first of the straps, using magic to pull it up over his head. Then he helped him out of the leg guards. "There you go. Shower up bud."
Serafina smiled at the employee taking her order. "Caffiene, lots of caffiene please, in mine. Milo's an idiot."

Milo's eyes went wide and he couldn't help but look over Agatha's beautiful body covered by nothing save some of Serafina's panties. "Oh. Okay then." He shook himself back to reality. "Here." He walked pass her and grabbed the bra Serafina set aside for her. Gently and quickly, he helped her put it on, adjusting it so it was as comfortable as possible. "We should go out and buy you some clothes." He told her, admiring his work. "Wrong bra size can be a pain. Or so I hear." He nodded sagely. "Need help with anything else?" He asked.
Leopold nodded. "You have my thanks." He told him and got undressed. Stretching his naked body, he sighed. Wearing heavy armor all day long took its toll on him. He then turned around and noticed Ridley was still there. He shrugged mentally. In a barracks, everyone bathed together in the river. It's not like he wasn't used to it.
Yawe absent-mindedly drank her coffee. The strong and bitter flavor was interesting. So were the people. So many different people from different races, with different occupations. She smiled. She could get used to living among humans if it was like this all the time. She noticed a cute dark-skinned girl about her age on the pick up line and watched her for a while.

"The blouse and trousers look easy enough..." She smiled at him. "Thank you for your kindness. When I come from, it would not have been alright for you to have helped me. Is it also common place for women to wear trousers?"
Ridley's face turned as red as his hair as he turned away. "I-If you need any help figuring stuff out, I'll be in the other room." Then he shut the bathroom door on the way out.
Once the coffees were ready, Serafina picked up hers and immediately started chugging it. She picked up Milo's with her free hand, moving so the next person could get their coffee. When she finally put hers down, she looked around, and spotted the elf looking at her.

He smiled, blushing lightly. "It's no big deal, honestly. And yeah, pretty much everyone wears whatever the hell they want nowadays. As long as you're comfortable and you are not being indecent, go nuts." He shrugged. "So when we go shopping feel free to pick up whatever you want."
Leopold froze for a second. Then smiled. So the boy liked what he saw? Interesting. He walked into the shower and looked apprehensively at the knobs that the red-haired youth had explained to him. He turned one of them all the way on and yelped loudly as a sudden jet of freezing cold water hit his body from above. Quickly turning it off, he shivered. "I swear this is black magic..." He muttered, turning the other knob. The water still came cold but, after a bit, it started to warm up. Leopold sighed in relief. This was something he could get used to. Then the water became too hot to bear and he had to shut it off. With a resigned sigh, he stepped out of the shower and poked his head out. "Uh..." He realized he didn't even know the name of his savior. "Boy. What is your name? And, I can't seem to be able to master the shower. I require your assistance.
The elf smiled lightly at the cute girl, giving her a friendly wave but not making any other gestures. Yawe didn't want to come off as creepy so she just took another sip off her cup.

Agatha nodded and picked up the shirt, pulling it over her head. "You do not plan on spending money on me. We are but strangers. I do not even know your name, sir."
Ridley came in with a sigh. "It's Ridley. I didn't get your name either..." He tried to ignore Leopold's naked figure as he popped his head into the shower, turning off the shower jet before turning the knobs. Once the water was right, he turned back on the shower jet. "There you go..."
Serafina waved back at her awkwardly with two cups in her hands. She looked around equally as awkwardly, before glancing back at the elf.

"Why not?" He asked. "It's the right thing to do after all. You are in trouble and I can help so it would be kind of messed up if I didn't." He smiled. "And my name is Milo. Milo Connors." He introduced himself. "So. You're a witch, huh?" He asked casually, sitting on the chair in front of Serafina's desk.
Leopold smiled. "I am Leopold Corte-Fiel, the Unassailable Wall, witch hunter by profession." He introduced himself. "And thank you kind stranger." He added, cupping Ridley's cheek for a second before walking back into the shower.
Yawe nodded towards the empty chair in front of her with a smile, indicating she could sit there if she'd like.

She blinked at him. "You are not? Such a casual use of magic, and you are not a witch?"
Ridley took a few deep breaths before going back into the other room, his heart racing.
Walking over to the table she was at, she awkwardly took another sweep. When she sat down she smiled. "Hey... Uh..."

"Well, we have broadened our ways of defining magic users according to their specialty and or occupation. I am a tinkerer, specialized in mixing science and magic into interesting and useful gadgets. Like a pen that automatically underlines important things while you are writing or a pair of goggles that zoom in and enhance the image you are seeing with your thought. Serafina is a herbologist, specialized in green magic applied to magical plants and crops. We have a whole garden in the back where she grows her stuff." He paused, choosing carefully his next words. "I called you a witch... Because everything about you yells dark magic." He shrugged. "I don't judge. Whatever your magic is, I don't care. I just commented on it because dark magic is not exactly a walk in the park at mastering and can be quite dangerous if misused."
Leopold chuckled by himself. The boy fancied him indeed. This would be entertaining. Once he thought he was cleaned enough he exited the shower, turning off the knobs, and walked out of the bathroom with a towel hanging low around his waist. "You said you had some suitable clothing for me?" He asked Ridley, crossing his arms.
Yawe smiled warmly at her. "Hello. Glad to have you joining me." She greeted the girl. "I am Yawe Tinurina. It's a pleasure."

She picked up the pants and nodded. "I see. Has magic become more acceptable to use in public now, then?" Agatha pulled on the pants quickly and smiled at him.
Ridely nodded and got up from where he was laying. He rummaged through a pile of clothes, looking at each peice before either putting it back in the pile or throwing it at Leopold. "There." He stood back up, not looking at the older male.
"Uh... Serafina Vigil..." She looked away with a small smile. "You're an elf, right?"

Milo nodded. "Magic is pretty common nowadays. About a fifth of the world population can use it. Of course, you need to be licensed to practice it, especially more advanced and dangerous kinds of magic, but it's pretty much a free world." He replied, saddened about the now lack of half naked girls in the room. "I must say though, you look good for a 400 and something year old woman." He commented with a smile.
Leopold gathered the clothes in a neat pile on top of one of the chairs and let the towel drop to the floor, stretching once more. "Much better." He groaned. He could feel something tensing up on his shoulder, though. "Boy. I have something in my shoulder. Think you can fix it?" He asked with a warm smile. Sure, he could just cast a healing spell. But what would be the fun in that?
Yawe nodded. "Indeed. I'm an envoy sent by my king as a liaison between humans and elves." She smiled. "Basically I am a diplomat of sorts." She added for clarification.

She raised her eyebrows. "Don't press your luck, tinkerer." Then she sat on the bed, covering her face. "I need to get back to my coven..."
Ridley turned to look at him and frowned. "Uh... yeah... did you get into a fight before you traveled through time..." He took a deep breath put his hands on Leopold's shoulder. A white light burst from his hands and then put them back down. "There..."
"That's really cool! I've read that we're trying to be more in touch with the elves!" Serafina smiled at her.

Milo smiled when she shot him down. "I was just giving praise where it's due." When she sat down on the bed and spoke about her coven, he frowned. "Your... coven? Like an actual honest-to-goodness witch coven?" He asked, curious.
Leopold nodded at the question. "It's the reason why I was blasted to this time." He replied, sighing in relief at Ridley's touch. "Once again, you have my thanks. Is there anything I can do to repay your kindness?" He asked, cupping Ridley's cheek once more.
Yawe nodded. "It's been almost half a century since the end of the war and we are still butthurt about it." She huffed. "We, as a race, don't live nearly as fast as you do so it's still very fresh in our people's memories." She paused. "You wouldn't believe me but I am actually 429 years old." She giggled.

She smiled and nodded. "Yes, we were very powerful, but our power was very threatening to the weakminded men that ruled this land many years ago. They are very dear to me, but without me I fear for their lives."
"You could put some fucking clothes on..." Ridley said, his face turning red as he pulled away from the touch.
Serafina was glad she hadn't been drinking any of her coffee at the time, because she would've spat it out. "You're kidding! Elves are really amazing beings!"

"I see. So... Any plans for now?" He asked. "Any idea how you're going back?"
Leopold chuckled. "As you wish." He said, turning around and getting dressed.
Yawe shrugged. "We live longer and we hold grudges for longer. Not sure if that's that amazing." She sighed then smiled. "But enough about me. What does such a cutie pie like do for a living?" She asked, changing the subject to a more pleasant one.
