Bella leaves the others, voices echoing down the hall behind her, as she tries to remember where Hichi's room was. She couldn't recall if she was, like... officially a Kingsguard or not. Maybe she'd have to ask her about that when she found her.

Either way, first she'd check the rooms in the Kingsguard quarters, trying to place who was in each, and stopping to knock on any that she couldn't name. Maybe Hichi was in one of these empty ones?(edited)

Somewhere near Felix's room she'd find the little woman. Her tail and ears were concealed once again. It was impossible to tell by sight that she had feral blood.
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/04/2018
Raising her hand to knock at another door, she caught sight of her target come around the corner. Spinning smoothly on her heel, she walked up to her, feeling unusually shy... As seemed usual around the other girl.

"Hey dere, Hichi. Uhh... Sorry 'bout earlier."

She offered a hug.(edited)
#AlmostHeaven09/04/2018
Hichi held her arms out at an awkwardly rigid angle, then spoke with a recited voice, "There, there."

"Ugh, don't be like dat. What cha doin' ere, is ya room dis way somewhere? I neva thought ta ask were ya room was, before..."

Bella hugged her anyway, then stepped back to give a little space.(edited)
#AlmostHeaven09/05/2018
"I sleep in, ah, Felix's room when he isn't there," Hichi explains, "Mmm... Are you okay? Do you need something?"
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/05/2018
"Felix's room?! Your don't 'ave ya own place? Dats hardly... What do ya do if ya wanna, ah, catnap or somethin' and he's dere? What about Old Man Bernard?"

Bella frowned, mind racing.

"I'd offer ya to stay wit' me, if you want, but I dunno know what I'd tell sis..."(edited)
#AlmostHeaven09/05/2018
"I never asked for a, ah, place. If he's there I don't sleep. I do not know about the old man. I don't understand. Would you not just explain the situation?" Hichi rattled answers.
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/05/2018
Bella explained, trying to be as reasonable as she  usually was. "Well, ya a memba of da Kingsguard, right? Or... at least... ya workin' for dem, yah? We could find you a room pretty easy, I bet. No need ta borrow his bed, or whateva."

She shrugged. "'sides, donna it seem weird dat you'd be sleeping in his room? Does he even know ya in dere? Or do ya just... sneak in and out?"
September 6, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/06/2018
"I believe I ultimately still work for Felix, despite some outside detail," Hichi blinks twice, thinking.
"I do not know. We can ask him if you desire."
September 23, 2018
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/23/2018
"Ya can work for 'im and not, ya know, sleep in his room, ya know? Ya not 'is bodyguard or nothin', right? Or are ya?"

Bella frowned, realizing she had no real idea of how Hichi had gotten mixed up with Felix in the first place. Either way, she seemed distressed at the idea of her sharing his room, though.
September 24, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/24/2018
"I was hired to travel with you all, if nothing has changed," She explained.
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/24/2018
"Oh. Well, dat seems fairly open ended, I guess. Still, we can find ya somewhere else ta sleep. Donna need ta shack up with him, probably. Ya want ya own room, maybe?"
#AlmostHeaven09/24/2018
"I don't think I've had my own room," Hichi blinked.
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/24/2018
"Wait... like, eva?" Bella paused, thinking it over. She really hadn't ever had her own room, either, growing up with her sister. They had always shared everything growing up.

"Look, uh... I'll level wit ya, it just sorta feels weird, is all. I tink we should, like, move ya inta your own room, or my room if you'd ratha. At least I'd know you were slippin' in, 'e probably is too dense ta even realize it."
#AlmostHeaven09/24/2018
"Is that what you'd like?"
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/24/2018
"Well, sure. But... what do you want? For a girl who always says ya follow the way of the world, ya sure seem open ta otha people makin' dese sorts of decisions for ya."

Still, she turned and headed towards her own rooms.
September 25, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/25/2018
"Do you know about destiny and fate? The Way is my people's version of it," She explained, "No matter what you do, you're playing into it's final plan."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/25/2018
"Wait. No matter what you do? So..." Bella pondered this information.

"See I usually always just do me own ting, but if it donna matter what I do, den fate is just doin' whateva you want, yah? I can get behind dat idea."
September 26, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/26/2018
"The Way we follow is about determining your fate before it happens, and embracing and then mastering it so that you are prepared," Hichi explained, "We shapers help read the Way, and guide of brothers and sisters along their own Way."(edited)
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/26/2018
"Oh. Dat... sounds like lots of plannin and stuff, yah?" Her ardor on the idea seemed to cool a little.

"But... isn't it important ta, like, listen to the world, and move howeva feels natural, or somethin? Don't think, act. Go wit' ya instinct? Dat sorta ting?"
#AlmostHeaven09/26/2018
"If you believe," She nods, "Though the difference between accepting your Way and embracing it is considerable. Shinji's Way is to love others, and you know how powerful that can be."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/26/2018
Bella glanced at the other girl and nodded, a rueful grin on her face. "Yeah, well, I guess we both saw where dat went... Is dat why you ya say ya still learnin'? Ya gotta embrace it, or somethin'?"
#AlmostHeaven09/26/2018
"I will never be a master, as is the Way of a shaper," Hichi shook her head.
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/26/2018
"Huh? Can't ya, I dunno, embrace da way of da shaper, or somethin'? Ya like.... a guide or craftsman, yah? Dere is master carpenters, so why can't ya be, like... a master fatesmith... or sometin?"
#AlmostHeaven09/26/2018
"One who becomes focused in their Way cannot not truly help focus others in their way. Perhaps if their Ways are shared or similar, but never as well as a dedicated shaper."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/26/2018
"Ah, I gotcha. Ya just too nice for ya own good, huh?" Bella chuckled.

"Well, maybe ya could do me, ah, or whateva. Show me how dis works. I'm kinda curious."
September 27, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/27/2018
"It cannot be made to work," Hichi shook her head, "As is the Way, we must wait. Shapers can guide through unique and special circumstances. When one has crisis, or a revelation, that is when they come to a Shaper."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/27/2018
"Oh... I... gotcha..." Bella found, feeling a little uncomfortable thinking about her own crisis of thought earlier over Shinji and Hichi.

"I guess I coulda just stayed and talked tings ova wit' ya earlier, huh. Dinna realize you were, like, a councilor or somethin;, now I feel... kinda dumb. Sorry 'bout dat."

She reached up and gave Hichi a headpat.(edited)
#AlmostHeaven09/27/2018
"Ow," She blinked.
"Most shapers are like me. Dull and literal, as to see things as they are. It helps with advisement."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/27/2018
"Oh, don't put yourself down, you don't seem so dull. Literal, sure, I'll give ya dat one. Ya don't seem great wit' jokes sometimes." Bella grinned at her.

"Dats ok tho."
#AlmostHeaven09/27/2018
Hichi held out a straight and rigid arm to pat and pat on Bell's head.
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/27/2018
"See! Now ya gettin' it!" Bella giggled as she got her headpat.

"Alright, lets go. We're gonna get ya a new room... or y'll just shack up in my place, somewhere, I guess."
September 28, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/28/2018
"Oh. Okay," Hichi blinked, "If you like."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/28/2018
Bella rolled her eyes, stomping her foot a little. "Hichi! I told you 'bout dis! Don't let me just boss ya around all da time, ya can tell me what ya wanna do, too, ya know?"
#AlmostHeaven09/28/2018
Hichi shakes her head, "No, do not worry about that."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/28/2018
"Alrighty, if ya say so, den lets go find someone to see 'bout gettin' ya your own room, maybe near mine or somethin'."

Not sure who to ask about this sort of thing, Bella decides to try to find a maid or servant to ask.
September 29, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/29/2018
"Okay," Hichi followed.
Eventually they found a servant.

"That would've been Stewart's call," they sighed, "I'm not sure who stepped in as the maitre d'e."
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library09/29/2018
Wandering from the immediate area, the two of them spent a little time trying to track down who exactly was in charge of the servants after the attack on the castle. Unfortunately, no one seemed to know, or at least didn't seem interested in sharing with Bella. Finally in a fit of annoyance, she stomped her foot and turned towards the main halls.

"Fine! We'll just go find Glenn or somethin', he'll be able ta help, probably. Maybe. I guess. Argh dis is annoyin'!"
September 30, 2018
#AlmostHeaven09/30/2018
"Don't get mad," Hichi held a hand up in front of herself, "Wrath clouds the mind."
October 1, 2018
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library10/01/2018
"Ugh, I'm good at wrath. Dat ones easy." She took a deep breath, not sure if it helped much, but it might have, a little.

"Ok let's go see what Glenn is up ta, if he's not super busy we'll ask 'em."

She went into where she assumed he'd be, in and around the main throne room areas where the king seemed to hang out.
#AlmostHeaven10/01/2018
"You seem rather invested in this task," She followed along, "Could I not just do as I did to Felix to you?"
Artemi☆, Unmoving Great Library10/01/2018
"Oh! Well. Ah, I don't really, like, mind dat idea, but wit' sis dere, we couldn't really, uhh..."

She thought it over for moment, then shrugged.

"Ya know, yah, we can do dat. Ya don't need ta worry 'bout if I'm in or not, we can share. Ya probably don't wanna wait up all night for me ta finish sleepin' if you're tired too, yah?"(edited)
October 4, 2018
#AlmostHeaven10/04/2018
"I do fine at night," Hichi reasoned, "There is no need to worry."
