Lil'Witch and Mama Maid

Haru rolled her eyes at the two women as she adjusted her bra and shirt to fit better. This form of poking is what she expected. As long as nobody was genuinely hurt there would be no need for her to step in and break it up. Plus it was good to see Hazel sticking up for herself as if the missing leg wasn't already an indication of that. Fighting from anger was easier than calm defense in her eyes. These were things she really couldn't teach and could only hope were gained by the young lady.

Iza grinned and kissed the owl pecking her nose before a similar owl formed next to it made of complete fire. Within a few seconds, it tackled into Hazel's and a small puff of steam dissipated into the air as the magic cleared.

"Don't play with fire in the house Izra," Haru said calmly, walking toward the kitchen to see if Hazel was feeding herself properly.

"What? The girl can take care of herself, and you know that this place wouldn't burn down unless I wanted it to. Measly constructs won't hurt anyone."

Iza leaned up and looked Hazel dead in the eyes, a small smile on her face.

"What do they teach you about magic in your school?"

"I see, Haru rambled on with how good with magic you were and I was wondering if the school was the reason for that. So far it sounds like pretty boring stuff but I guess a novice should build the framework for their house."

Iza dropped back down onto the couch and twirled her wand in her hand.

Haru gave an audible sigh from the kitchen, closing a cabinet, before peaking out into the living room at the two girls.

"Iza stop being rude...if you came here to pick on Hazel I'm just gonna throw you out."

"Waaaa. I would never pick on such a cute little girl. She reminds me of you when you were younger."

An obvious lie to Haru but to Hazel it would seem genuine enough. Haru wasn't going to indulge her petty playfulness and went back to sorting Hazel's canned goods. She had the beans mixed with the corn, preposterous.

"Speaking of school how are classes going for you, Hazel. You should be graduating soon right?"

@Prinny-Jt

"Aww isn't that cute she wants to be a little store owner. Well, I think a girl with dreams is a beautiful thing, Hazel. If you ever wanted some start-up money I'd be willing to write you a check for a decent sum."

Iza gave a genuine and sincere smile but Haru could tell that this was just Iza's mother speaking through her. Both women had a way with words and business. Haru always believed that if Iza ever puts down the wand she would make a killer business broker.

"Well, she doesn't have to worry about that yet. For now, I just want you to stay focused and finish up with good grades.....and if you do pas with decent grades I may have a surprise for you."

"I like surprises!" Iza blurted out like kids who just got a piece of candy.

"You will get a puck to the forehead if you don't stop being mean." Haru gave Iza an evil look that made Iza stick her tongue out and go back to fiddling with her wand.

Haru found some tea bags after snooping around Hazel's kitchen long enough and put on some water to get hot. Haru picked out a tea she would like and set down two more cups from the cabinets for everybody else. If there was one thing she really loved it was a conversation over tea.

Walking back out into the living area Haru sat on a different couch from Iza who was doing small spells with fire around her wand as if testing something.

"Hazel why don't you sit. There is no need to be so formal around us. Tell me ho have you been these past few weeks. I felt like I haven't seen you in a while. Were you having boys over?"

Her voice turned to a teasing one at the end of that but she made it clear that it was a legitimate question also.

Iza laughed at something. However, it wasn't clear what exactly it was as she was still focusing on her wand.

@Prinny-Jt

Haru gave her usual closemouthed smile and stared back at Hazel.

"I have no clue what you are talking about. Storm and I are just good friends."

Officially Storm and she hadn't put a title on anything. They just shared each others company from time to time. Haru had put some thought into asking Storm out but didn't want to rehash old wounds for the women and felt it better to just leave things as they are for now. Plus it wasn't like she could be completely honest with Storm like she was with her making it even more unfair. What if one day her past came back and she had to explain a "you may be killed" situation. No, it was best this way, at least for now.

"But regardless business is going great. We've only had two incidents where force was necessary and the office morale seems happy. As long as I can supply jobs for the displaced immigrants of Mes and Manta Carlos then I am happy."

She sipped her tea.

"Plus the money is nice." She laughed a bit before setting her teas down on a coaster.

"So tell me. Why exactly was an eleven-year-old boy over...isn't that a bit past babysitting age for you humans?"

Iza sighed an annoyed breath and floated into the kitchen to get her tea, adding small amounts of honey and sugar.
