Decided to move this to a separate thread to keep things clutter free in the Nanoha Misc. Ideas thread.

And now for a new installment:
**********
From CarimÆs viewpoint, Olivie really did look like she had leapt out of one of those old paintings that hung around in the Grand Cathedral. The attire that consisted of a simple blue top which left her shoulders exposed while a light white skirt complimented the look. There was also the golden necklace around her neck which gave off the feel of a Lost Logia. Her golden hair was kept in a bun tied together with a blue bow although there were a few loose strands that dangled around her face.
But this Olivie didnÆt have the serene smile that was on the painted OlivieÆs face. Instead, she appeared calm and focused, even when looking at Vita and Signum with hostility. She was also positioned in a way to make it easier to protect the boy next to her in case a fight broke out.
æCan it beà another product of Project F?Æ All Carim knew was that her heart told her that this was the genuine Saint King. Her commanding presence that is mixed in with her bright heart and her subtle spirità it was enough to make some part of Carim to want to accept this fact at face value and kneel before the young woman standing in front of her.
ôKilling machines? W-what are you talking about?ö asked Subaru nervously in response to OlivieÆs accusation.
ôSubaru, can you leave us alone for a moment? We need to explain some things to our guest in private,ö said Carim quietly.
ôEhà? Butàö
ôPlease? And can you take the boy with you?ö
Judging by the way the Church Director was asking her, there was a lot more going on than she realized. Apparently, whatever they were going to talk about was well beyond her need to know. ôà yes, madam. Olivie, would you mindà?ö
ôIÆll leave him in your care for now, Subaru-san,ö said Olivie quietly as she moved past the young officer to enter the office.
For some reason, the Corporal felt a sense of relief upon hearing that. It was probably because that even with the situation as it is, she was still trusted enough to look after the other womanÆs son. ôThank you. LetÆs go, Touma-kun. How about I show you around my department office?ö
ôSure, Su-chan!ö And with that, the duo left and closed the door behind them, leaving the group of five alone.
ôSo is someone going to answer my earlier question?ö asked Olivie in that same calm and commanding tone. ôWhy are two of the Guardian Knights working in this organization? And where are the other two? The Knight of the Shield and the Knight of the Lakeà are those killers gathering life energy from innocent lives for their Master?ö
ôDonÆt label my family in such a manner! Shamal, Zafira, Signum and Vita-chanà à theyÆre all kind people! I wonÆt have you say such things about them!ö
Her multi coloured eyes zoomed in on Hayate after that outburst. ôAnd you are?ö
ôIt is a bit of a long story, Your Majesty. Let me first get you familiar with that young lady,ö said Carim as she attempted to try and take control of the conversation. ôAllow me to introduce Hayate Yagami, the final Master of the Buch der Dunkelheit and the one who broke the cycle as you know it.ö
ôW-what?ö Olivie was rather surprised at this revelation upon hearing that the young lady who defended the Knights so passionately was indeed their Master. She looked so open and honest. How is it that someone like her managed to get a hold of such an artifact?
ôPlease take a seat and IÆll explain everything as best as I can.ö
**********
ôAnd this is my desk! As you can seeàö
ôItÆs a mess,ö finished Touma in a flat tone, seeing the stack of papers on his tour guideÆs designated working space.
Subaru chuckled sheepishly. ôHeheheà the thing is that when youÆre in a department like mine, itÆs rare that you get enough time to finish all your paperwork for the day.ö
ôOr you just arenÆt efficient enough in processing it,ö said an older man as he entered the department with some cold drinks in his hands. The scars on his face were his most distinctive features, which caught ToumaÆs attention.
ôCome on, Captain! Give me a breakà IÆm more suited for doing field work.ö She paused for a moment. ôAh, that reminds me. Touma-kun, this is my senior officer Voltz Stan.ö
ôHello there!ö waved the other man.
ôHow did you get those scars?ö asked the younger boy.
StanÆs eyes took on an odd look as he moved closer to Touma. ôThereÆs a real scary story behind it. You see, it had to do with my crazy father who decided to stick a blade in my mou-ö
ôCaptain, there are to be no scary stories on my watch,ö said Subaru in a firm tone. The last thing she wanted was a traumatized Touma to stir up OlivieÆs maternal instincts and cause a huge mess at the base.
ôAlright, fine,ö said Stan with a huff before offering one of the cold drinks to the boy. ôThe real story behind them is that they came from a few injuries from working at the big airport fire disaster about six years ago.ö
ôI see. That must have been real scary being close to that.ö
ôI just wanted to help people. DidnÆt have the time to get scared,ö answered the Captain as he popped open his own drink and took a sip.
ôCaptain, since I have you here, I was wondering if you can help me with something.ö
He paused for a moment, allowing the cool liquid to go down his throat before answering. ôWhat is it, Nakajima?ö
ôI would like to reopen the case about the destruction of the mining town in Vaizen. Touma-kun here is actually a former resident and he probably has quite the story to tell.ö
