Once Octavias and Tori get back to the office, he knocks first and then enters after a few seconds because of a certain incident that happened some time ago when he came in on a very intimate scene. After that, he just knocked even if he was asked to come to her office anyways.
Octavias enters carrying a very talkative child: Hello, you two! Didn't realize you would be here Niya. Nice to see you as always. *smiles at her and also at Natasia* I hope everything is well Natasia.
Natasia is already deep in her files: Yes. Things are better now but they weren't for a little while.
Octorias: It's better now cuz I helped!
Niya: -she smiles lovingly at the two of them- Yes, it is sprout. -she opens her fan and the protection wisp returns into one of the panels. She closes it again and goes over to Octavias and kisses his cheek- It's good to see you Vias.
Octavias smiles deeply at her: It's good to see you always, Niya. *puts Tori down and sees him run to the couch and hike himself up there to wait for his snack* So…Miss Amaimon? She's back? She's very talented. I get it, but I feel like not enough time has passed. Like she was just here.
Natasia puts her well-manicured hand up to him: Don't start with me Octavias, she's about done with her dissertation, and I believe it would be a wonderful asset to have in your class. She could even help you with a thing or two.
Octavias grunts: Pfft, I guess. But still though…I have to prove it again, especially now that I'm the Head of the department.
Natasia looks up at him with such a look of contentment: Then I suggest you get to it before school starts back. *smiles at him and goes back to her paperwork, the files she's looking through have two piles, one for acceptants and one for rejections*
Octavias sees the two piles and retorts: What's this? These kids aren't good enough for school? I know we are prestigious, but shouldn't we be less coarse on the applications.
Natasia: No, if anything I need to be stricter, I'm changing policy also, and we all have to shape up to it. It's a subtle change but worth it.
Octavias looks concerned and also exchanges a glance with Niya: Are these changes going to the curriculum as well? Because if so, I need to make sure these are approved for my department.
Natasia rolls her eyes: The only changes are to ensure the children are learning tactics for medicine and wounds more but that's it. Nothing you can't handle. If you can juggle all the children you have, then you can do this too.
Octavias scoffs: Wha…well that was rude! *he crosses his arms and stomps out of the room* I don't need to deal with that…!
Niya: Tasia..Be easy. -she shakes her head and follows after Octavias- Vias. Vias, my love, slow down.
Natasia sighs and stands up to watch over Tori while Niya leaves.
Meanwhile, Octavias is walking fast back to the elevator when he hears Niya fast walking after him. He looks back at her as she's coming up to him.
Octavias takes a deep breath before speaking: …Yes, Niya? Is there something else her highness needed?
Niya: -she gently puts her hand on his shoulder- I'm sorry, my love…she didn't mean it. And I will make her apologize to you…She's under a lot of pressure and it's been getting to her. Still, that's not an excuse for what she said, I'm sorry.
Octavias touches her hand softly and then kisses it: It's not an excuse but it is understandable, still though you don't need to apologize for her. She can do it plenty. *he wraps both his arms around her* I missed you Niya..
Niya: -she blushes and presses closer to him- I missed you too Vias.. -she leans up and kisses him softly-
Octavias kisses her deeply and looks for the nearest open room. He finds one down the hall and grabs her hand to pull her into the room, pushing her up against a wall and kissing her deeply, putting his hands up and down her back: Mmmm Niya..
Niya: -she gasps and giggles quietly- V-Vias~!...Hehehe let's at least make it to your office~.
Octavias kisses down her neck: Mmmmm but I want you right now…
Niya: -her blush deepens and she bites her lip- Mmm…I know i-it's been a while~..but..mmmm…
Octavias stops, feeling how excited he's getting and looks her in the eyes: We can go back to my office now…especially since it's sound-proof…heh.
Niya: -she grins- And just when did you do that hm~?
Octavias grips her hips and smiles mischievously: Recently…I wanted you and I needed to find more ways to be with you my lovely succubus. *licks in between her claws*
Niya: -she grips his chin and brings him back up to her lips- Then let's go Vias~. Seems I have a bit of time for you now…my King.
Octavias smiles and takes her hand and goes the opposite direction of the elevator. He goes to this room with a portkey in the corner and selects where he wants to go in Mythic Academy and it brings him there instantly to his office.
Octavias and Niya are now in his office and he shuts the blinds and locks the door and picks Niya to put her on his desk. It's not long until he's pulling her dress down with her beautifully laced matching set and is sucking and swirling his tongue on her nipples. She tangles her fingers in his hair, and her head falls back as she moans from the pleasure. She spreads her legs and wraps them around his waist, pulling him closer to her.
Niya: Gods it's been too long…since we just had a moment~...
Octavias stares at her with such a hungry grin: Yes my queen, I want to service you in this moment now..*he kisses her again and as she's unzipping his pants and stroking him between her hands, a knock knock knock at his office door*
Octavias and Niya both stop for a second and look towards the door.
Knock Knock Knock. Octavias sighs heavily.
Octorias: -he keeps knocking on the door- Mama~! Appa~! Tati says it's snack time~!
Niya: -she growls quietly and rubs her temples- Natasia…!
Octavias has quite a frustrating brow as he sits up trying to tuck himself back in and helps Niya off the desk, helping with pulling her dress back down. He mouths fuck! And he stomps his foot once, and Niya tries so hard not to burst into laughter but they both fully dress, fix each other's appearances and open the door.
Octavias: Hello Octorias! Yes, of course snack time for the baby Tori. *picks him up* Mama was just giving me a snack too. It's my favorite.
Niya: -she covers her face to hide a deep blush spreading across her face as she tries to not laugh-
Octorias: I haven't seen my snack yet! No fair! Tati said Mama had to get my snack box!
Octavias takes him back to Natasia's office but rolls his eyes without Tori seeing: Yes yes Mama will get your snack while I show you some plant magic.
Octorias: -he beams at him- Really!!! Thank you Appa!!
Octavias: Of course little bean! *looks at niya and mouths will fuck later? And thumbs her up like the responsible dad he is and then turns back around and opens Tati's door with a kick* We're back!!!! Again…*puts Octorias down and just stares at Natasia*
Natasia looks up and smiles with eyes tilted: Oh good, baby boy wanted his snack from his mother. But you didn't have to come back.
Octavias comes to her desk and slams down with both hands: Alright Natasia! I know there is a lot of pressure, but! *looks at Tori who is looking at them* But…don't take it out on me okay? It's not kind and we need to teach all our kids kindness so I'm doing this kindness and going to show my son some lovely plant magic while his mama makes him his delicious snack. Thank you! *he turns away and she looks up glaring*
Natasia: Sass me you shant, mage boy. I know how y'all usually interact.
Octavias turns back around: You know what!-
Niya: -she strides across the room and brings her fan down on the desk, the loud sound forcing everyone's attention. She looks down at Natasia and smiles tightly, but the look in her eye is clearly threatening- Ta-si-a~. Could you be a dear and hand me the bag next to you, so I can take care of our son?
Natasia didn't flinch but her look softened when seeing Niya upset like that. She sighs and looks at Octavias.
Natasia: I apologize for my words, you didn't deserve that. I hope you can forgive me. *her gaze meets his and things are silent but tense while Niya is getting Octorias' snack out*
Octavias sighs and crosses his arms: Fine but you need to be honest with me Natasia. You aren't usually this harsh and even so, it's just a joke. These were rather pointed.
Natasia nods: Yes that's true. I guess I was just taking out my anxiety and frustration but I do not truly mean it. Please understand that.
Octavias stares but then smiles eventually: Girl what has rattled you so much that you are being a "b"? Like I don't usually want to fight my bosses.
Natasia looks down and then crosses her arms: It's kind of a lot to get into though.
Octavias: Come on, I can probably help…
Natasia: Mmmm I know…you probably could honestly but it's just…quite a bit to explain. *she leans back in her chair putting her head up* I really don't want to get this many people involved already.
Niya: -she speaks up from sitting with Octorias- Vias darling, how about we discuss what's going on..over dinner maybe? It'll be easier to talk about it..privately.
Natasia looks at Niya but doesn't say anything and Octavias looks at Niya with a slight smile.
Octavias walks over to the two of them: Like dinner or dinner? *he's eager for her response, down at Octorias' level and holding one of her hand*
Niya: Heh both. Is that alright?
Octavias: Perfectly fine with me darling. *he feels calm again, looking at the woman he loves and his only son, a dream to him* Anything you want, my love. *he leans over to kiss her*
Niya: -she blushes lightly and smiles- Good. Now I believe you made your son a promise. While you have fun with him, I'm going to help Tati a bit more to sort some things out. -she kisses the tops of their heads and gets up-
Octavias blushes: O-of course, do what you have to do. *sits with Octorias* Okay let's make some plant magic! *he starts showing some of his neat vine tricks where he can make miniature plant soldiers fight each other, fantasy-style*
Octorias makes ooo's and ahh's respectively as he becomes more enthralled with his appa's magic.
Natasia sees Niya strut over to her with her eyes looking irritated and she thinks to herself, sigh, I fucked up huh?
Niya: -she sits on the edge of her desk with her back to Octavias and Tori. as she talks to Natasia she keeps her voice low so she doesn't disturb the two of them- So, what the fuck was that?
Natasia leans back in her chair and looks up at Niya: What was what dear?
Niya: Don't insult my intelligence Natasia. You sent Tori on purpose and you're being excessively rude to Vias. What happened in the amount of time I left to now that has you up in a mood like this?
Natasia: Nothing…I just thought we were all getting distracted. We did come here to try and figure this out together…
Niya: -she sighs- We've only just started, but…I understand. But that doesn't give you the right to be disrespectful. -she nods at the pile that's gotten bigger on her desk- Give me half of that, and your engagement calendar. I'll get to work while Vias entertains Tori.
Natasia mage hands it to Niya without looking at her and squinting in a different direction out of frustration and disappointment in herself.
Natasia: Alright. Thank you.
Niya: -she uses her tail to tilt Natasia's head back towards her- Hey…it will be alright…Life isn't over. Take a breath.
Natasia looks at her with a deep blush on her face as she looks at her* I-alright…you are right…thank you..*once Niya's tail is away, she shakes her head and gets back to working on the files, flipping through each applicant for the high school division* I did go a bit overboard…it's fine it's fine. Like she said, "it's fine."
Niya: -she sits across from Octavias and Tori and looks through the files quietly-
Octorias: -he's sitting close to Octavias, learning about the different plants- …When can I make plants like you Appa?
Octavias smiles: Probably by five years old, if anything you'll be able to make wonderful plants like me. *rubs his head softly* and once that starts happening, I'll help you along the way.
Octorias: …what if I can't make plants? What if I make mist like Mama?
Octavias: Then that's fine too and Mama can teach you her powers. Either way, Mama and I…and Tati got you. *He looked over at Natasia who wasn't looking at them but he can tell that she at least heard that part. He looks back at Tori.* I'll love you regardless.
Octorias: -he smiles and hugs him tightly- Okay Appa~.
Octavias hugs him back and then goes back to making more plants for Tori to identify, and poofs a yellow carnation in his hand: And do you remember what this is?
Octorias: Carnation! Mama's favorite!
Octavias smiles and nods: Yes yes. These are Mama's favorite so good job on getting both right. *he hands the flower to Niya* For my sweet queen.
Niya: -she giggles and happily takes the flower, putting it in her hair- Thank you my darling.
Octavias blushes and smiles and then goes back to making little flowers for Tori to see. Natasia sorts through most of her files when she's done and has a pretty comprehensive list of students she knows will far exceed expectations with the right tutoring and building.
Natasia: Niya, darling, I am done with these files, just to let you know. If you find anyone that you feel is a good fit, you can put it in this pile here please. *pats a small stack to right left of her* After you are done, we can go through together if you are okay with that? To see who we think is okay?
Niya: -she comes over and hands Natasia her own finished stack and taps a few buttons on her holo top, bringing up a fully done calendar- I'm ready dearest. And I've finished your engagements for the next two months.
Natasia's voice is much softer when she speaks to Niya: Thank you. Thank you for everything…*she reaches for Niya's hand softly and slowly*
Niya: -she takes her hand and kisses it- Of course darling. Now let's begin shall we? I think I've found a few students that meet your requirements.
Natasia giggles from the kiss and takes her hand back* alright. Now who do we have first? Hmmmm…*looks at a file with the name Ra Salah* her, let's go with her. *uses the holo-top to bring up her file fully* Sun-goddess-in-training that is being housed by the goddess herself. She's very smart, empathetic and once her powers fully kick in, she'll be even more promising.
Niya: She's already shown incredible prowess with her powers when it comes to healing and her academic record is amazing.
Natasia: Honestly she might end up having one of the titles that I bestow. I wonder which one, probably "The King" one. *puts her file in the pre-approved pile and then takes out the next one* Next, Adrian Zervos…hmmm..*puts his file on the holo-top* When he went to his interview as a young boy, he literally made a star right in front of my eyes. I think he's absolutely phenomenal, plus hand-crafted by the goddess is no small feat at all.
Niya: She gave him a surname? Was it for his protection? Everyone knows who his mother is…or is it just because of the meaning of the name hehe? I've heard already also, that he's already starting to have quite the knack for intelligence gathering. He seems to know when things are going on in the background before most.
Natasia's ears perk up and her eyebrow raises: Ohhhhhhh? Hmmm that sounds…rather interesting and different.
Niya: I think he'd do well if we allowed him to explore that little talent more.
Natasia: I'm fine with that as long as it doesn't get too out of line, so finding him a tutor as soon as possible is necessary.
Niya: -she types the notes into the holo top for her- We'll add it to the list then.
Natasia: Very well. Who is next on the roster?
Niya: -she pulls out another file- To add to your more…defensive plans, someone who can hold their own in a fight. -the file shows a picture of a young demon girl with the name Lumiere Ars Goetia-
Natasia looks at the photo and nods but she furrows her brow from a memory she had of this young demon when she was 5 years old.
Natasia: Ah yes…I remember this one, she threw a log at another child because they were hogging the slide, then tried to rip the slide out of the ground. 4 teachers had to try and restrain her and then another wrathian had to come in to quell her. It was…quite a mess and I had to personally apologize and send baskets to those kids' parents. Has she finally calmed down? I haven't heard of anything else in a long time.
Niya: -she giggles- Yes she has, her mother petitioned to put her in sports to allow her to channel her aggression properly. She's in the mixed martial arts club and she's aiming to be captain.
Natasia looks over her file: Hmmm well as long as she can focus it in a certain direction, that's all that matters. I think she would be an excellent captain when she's ready. Mr. Salam would need to be here for her though. Just to make sure nothing goes…haywire.
Niya: Very true. So long as she can get the aggression out she's actually a good student.
Natasia: Okay well we have a good base of children to start with which is good. Oh this one too…*pulls out the file with Sonata Zelis* Apparently she and Lumiere are a pair, some sort of contract between their parents which is none of my business but she is also the daughter of Mammon, the Greed King. *rolls her eyes* Hopefully she's smarter than him.
Niya: -she looks over the file- She seems like it…but the notes about her attitude are a bit concerning. Hopefully a bit of counseling can straighten that out. But I agree, it seems we're on the same page for your requirements. I'll start sending out invitations for the new professors we'll need. Now..regarding Mr. Salam…
Octavias looks over after hearing Mr. Salam as that is a friend of his: I didn't even realize he was in town, he hasn't responded to many of my texts.
Natasia: Yes he's very…hard to reach. But Niya and I have come up with a way to get him to at least show up at the school, haven't we my darling? *she smiles at Niya softly, a hint of mischief in her eyes*
Niya: -she smirks- I'm going to extend the invitation for the meeting to him myself~. He could never say no to me.
Octavias smiles: Oh…going to use that charm on him, not the succubi charm but the Niya charm. It is hard to say no to you. I don't think anyone has yet…
Natasia: Yes she's going to be somewhere nearby most likely and then just extend the invite, most likely making it seem as though it's for a "meeting" between just the two of them. Is that correct?
Octavias laughs and covers his mouth, trying to keep it down: He's been wanting to "meet" you for a long time now. Like…a longggg time. I remember him talking about you before even WE started talking. I guess he noticed you before I did or was closer to you office wise and saw you more often.
Niya: He saw me first because I used to use the staff gym for my morning yoga so I could have a bit of peace back then. I'll do a bit of snooping to see where he is and then I'll extend the invitation. I can have him in here by Fro Dae.
Natasia smiles and holds Niya's hand, wrapping it around hers: Excellent, then I await the good news. I can prepare the new contract including compensation plans and housing for his crew as well as helping them find new jobs so they can still have meaningful lives.
Niya: Hehe, perfect. Vias my love, could you keep an eye on Octorias while we handle that?
Octavias nods and smiles, looking her up and down for a second: Heh, anything for you. Come on Tori, let's go back and visit the gardens outside, I can show you what we've been growing during the summer? *he stands up, offering his hand to his son*
Octorias: -he happily hops off the couch and holds his hand- Okay Appa! Tati I'm off from being boss! I'm gonna garden now!
Octavias looks at the two of them: If things run over, I can just watch him for a little while and take him to get dinner. Father/son day woohoo. *he picks him up and puts him on his shoulder* Come on Tori. *magic message to Niya* I can watch him but because Lassandra hasn't been doing as well, I need to make sure I get back home to take care of my girls.
Niya: -she looks at him and nods, sending a message back- I should have the invitation issue settled before dinner. Don't worry my love, I'll make sure you can get to them.
Octavias nods: Alright. Let's go on an adventure! *he leaves with Tori to the gardens and once they leave, Natasia stands up and goes to Niya's side*
Natasia puts her arms around her and kisses her cheek: Be safe my love. We did ride together so did you want to take my car?
Niya: Hehe I may not use them often but I do have wings darling~. I think it'll add to the allure if I do that.
Natasia feels between Niya's wings, her nails slightly grazing the wing tips flirtaciously: Yes I forget sometimes. I like them though. You are already alluring but I doubt he would resist much longer. Let me know how it goes and I'll draw up a contract with the necessary paperwork while you are out.
Niya: -her wings flutter from the feeling- Mm~ will do. I'll start at the port and go from there, shouldn't be long darling. -she kisses her cheek and steps back. Her wings extend and grow quickly to a size big enough to carry her. She winks at Natasia and takes off from the balcony and heads to the ports to find Barbatos Salam-
Natasia smiles as she leaves: She's so fine…
