Koya stood with Chiana and Lyric, mouth agape. "Wha..you...how..."
She had seen the wards on the coffin before, and had not known what they were for; only that she was not about to find out. She knew shecouldn't break them, and whatever was worth those nasty things, must not be worth finding out about. It never occured to her the curses would be hiding money. Koya was not, in general, one to deal with curses and the like. She was a Witch, and not a black one.
Stammering, she pointed at the coffin, then had to catch herself as, with a simple motion, Lyric had reset all the curses and wards. Like that. Without thinking about it!
Shaking her head, she nodded and stood. She would not got there, she would not ask. The girl was obviously more than she appeared to be. If she could do that, then Koya would wait for a more appropriate time to question her.
Recovering, she cleared her throat, smoothed her skirt, and nodded. "Yes, Lyric, that would be great if you could pick up some things for me. I am sure you are eager to get out of this gloomy shop and into the sun, for a change." She knew the girl did not want her company on this trip, so she did not offer. Instead, she made the girl feel as if she were doing her a favor, instead of the other way around. "I would do it myself, you see, but I am exhausted. Could you pick up some clothes for me? Just casual stuff. All I have is the clothes I would wear to perform in. Oh, and some cherry blossom perfume. Please."
She smiled at Chiana, shrugged, and said. "You girls can pick some things out, I'm sure. I really like both of your tastes. Size 8, okay?" She turned to head towards the back stairs, but paused, smiling warmly. "And Chiana...welcome. I hope that you can find some peace here. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you."
With a nod, she headed up the stairs to her room.
