Kaori was on the upper floors of the guild's castle taking down names of individuals who were moving. She would be tasked with helping with transport when the guild finally moved so she needed to know which members were leaving and which ones were staying. Eventually everyone would have to leave since the castle was being abandoned, but Kaori hadn't been fully updated on that. As far as she knew they were moving and the fate of the castle was undetermined. In order to speed things up, Kaori had tasked two of her spirits to handle the east and west corridors while Kaori took on the middle of the castle's upper half.
The first spirit was named Ira, a fire spirit who was exceptionally loyal to Kaori. Ira didn't always listen to Kaori, normally being fairly disobedient when she randomly showed up to have fun, but she was a good spirit at all times. Kaori had no troubles with the spirit's playful nature since Ira knew when a joke was going too far and made sure to not press too many buttons. She was the spirit who handled the eastern corridor, that being her favorite direction. Ira was representative of the Sun, which rose in the east. She was the reality of the world, and the offensively inclined spirit between the two sisters. Her energy was easily sensed through her eagerness to help and almost constant smile, which Kaori had only ever seen fade once.
In the couple hours that Kaori had her out, Ira had use her ability to float and shot down the hall with a playful smile on her face. Fiery orbs constantly scanning the walls, looking out windows as she passed them and marveling at the people on the other side of the massive gap between the castle's foundation and the rest of the port. She mused at how small they all seemed for the first few minutes before actually getting to work. Several of the members had liked her friendly demeanor, others, normally the men but some women, had found her to be cute and decided to make the move thinking that they'd see her more often- ohhhh if they only knew how "stationary" Kaori wasn't...
The second spirit was named Query, a spirit who had no elemental alignment, unlike her sister. Query was always obedient to Kaori and never refused an order thus far since Kaori was especially cautious with her. Query was representative of the moon. She was the sleeping aspect, and the spirit of dreams. Where Ira was the reality of the world, Query was the anti-reality. Query had the power to alter reality itself, as though the real world were all a dream- a power that had been abused by different summoners before, all were punished for it. Kaori knew that Query was powerful enough to void her own contract, and respected her. In return for that respect, Query gives the ninja her loyalty and friendship. Her reason for being given the west corridor was that Ira had claimed the east, and Kaori had taken the much larger central zone.
Ira, being able to manipulate reality itself, had taken the fast route and materialized herself at the far end of the hall. Much like her fraternal sister, Ira, the moon spirit had taken time to look out the nearest window at the people below. She didn't find amusement in how small the seemed, but found beauty in how peaceful the town was. She reflected on events past, more specifically events in Peace Village, and turned around to begin collecting signatures. She was quite respectful, and much like her sister, there were male and female members who signed out of a hope of being able to see more of the cute spirit. Where she lacked the excessive energy Ira had, Query made up for it in having elven ears, and a naturally aloof expression that was just live enough to draw attention from others.
'Kaori would eventually come across something that requires the full extent of my powers. Most likely, it'll be for Miss Samira's sake and not her own.' she thought while moving down the hall. It was something that would have to weigh heavy on her mind since Kaori would go to great lengths for her other half, even if her other half hadn't accepted her yet. Query would have to decide just how far she herself was willing to go, knowing that Kaori may eventually overstep boundaries. It worried her, but Kaori had been respectful of Query's power thus far and gave her no reasons to be terrified of abuse... just cautious of the possibility.
Both spirit, Ira and Query, had finished up with their sides of the upper floors at around the same time. They were told that if they finished early, they were free to roam around as they pleased. It was another perk of being Kaori's spirits that they both equally liked. Most summoners had forced their spirits to stay in whatever realm they came from, including the twin's last one. For some it was out of the belief that spirits should only be out in battle, and they should always obey their master(s). Other summoners were trying to be fair. They had so many spirits that they'd die if they let all of them roam around randomly, especially two spirits that were a colossal drain just to have one out. Upon entering the ground level and floating around a bit, she spotted a certain celestial spirit being tapped on the shoulder by someone and giggled, knowing what would come next. The fact that he hadn't gotten a full blast throttling from Aphrodite was somewhat disappointing for Ira, but that only meant she could have fun making a new friend.
Ira began floating closer when she saw Samira intercept the new blood and begin talking to him, making it easy for her to float higher, over his head and behind him. While Samira was in the middle of introducing herself, right around where she mentioned she was a Guild Ace, Ira flipped upside down with the two strands of hair on the back of her head dangling, body floating perfectly in the air while exclaiming
"Hi!" with a bright smile. She then let herself turn again in the air to bring her feet towards the ground while leaning forward and saying
"I'm Ira!" in the same chipper tone. She'd then float behind the new member while keeping herself facing him to be behind him and place her hands on his shoulders and poke her head over them.
"Sammy, is this one joining your... umm... magic clan, that's it..." Ira sounded unsure at the last bit. She was using the words Kaori used, which she felt were incorrect but she quickly switched back to her energy overdose and asked
"Is he!?""You shouldn't touch him..."
A voice that was gentle and feminine said, but from seemingly no source at all. An azure magic circle appeared on the ground and Query materialized not far from the three.
"Not many humans like being touched by floating girls with horns. You should ask permission first." Query said, her tone being just as disconnected as the emotion in her eyes. Ira puffed her cheeks and said
"He doesn't mind!" before turning her gaze to the new member and asked
"You don't mind, right?" as though she expected him to take her side. Kaori appeared out of thin air with a small smoke cloud around her and a light popping sound. She looked at the random boy and blinked a few times while also looking at her spirits and Samira. Kaori turned to the boy fully and said
"I apologize for Ira, she's honestly harmless. My name's Lareci, Kaori but you can call me Kay, and this is Query." Kaori said and gestured to the blue haired spirit who grabbed the ends of her minidress and lightly lifted them while performing a curtsy and saying
"You may call me 'Q' if you'd like." If Quinn said that he wanted to join the guild, Ira would hug him tightly while shouting
"YAAAY!" in her high pitched, energetic tone while her summoner felt an imaginary sweat drop rolling down the back of her neck.
