(Alright, my bad for the delay, I've moved into a new house and don't have Wi-fi until the 30th or so T_T I'm literally sitting in a McDonald's parking lot on my laptop in my car, so I'll try to keep these going.)

Lady Girudo kept her steely expression for another moment before cracking a smile. "Don't worry, it was merely a joke..." She really didn't seem to be joking though, and the shrug was overly casual for what she'd just implied. "And yes, Sherry, all the girls carry an identical one." She then cast a slight glare to Nox. "There will be no studying them either... Though you are right, they are used by different people... Plus most weapons don't come with visits from uptight owls..."

At this point, one of the girls came into the room. "Milady, there's just a-" Her words trailed off as her eyes fell on Noble. She took a step back, hand going into her robes. Her face was clearly one of pain and anguished memories, blade coming out. It too, was identical to the one Lady Girudo had. With a shriek and a violent lunge, the shrine maiden went for Noble with murderous intent.

Bringing the blade down though, she only struck the shoulder of her esteemed mistress. It had taken the mere blink of an eye, but Girudo had placed herself in the path of the swing, and the blood pooling beneath her implied one of two things. She either had no aura, or had chosen not to use it. Her expression didn't even convey pain as the young maiden widened from what she'd done. "L-Lady Girudo! W-why?!"

The head of the shrine brought her hand up, pulling the blade from her shoulder and going to one knee. "Because Asha, if you use a weapon without reason, you'll hurt nobody but yourself."

The girl seemed shocked, but softly nodded. "But... He..."

"Isn't the one who hurt you. Run along, Asha, I'm just talking to these travellers." She handed the sword back to the shrine maiden, who took it with trembling hands, hugging Girudo briefly before darting from the room. After a few seconds, Girudo turned back towards her guests, sighing softly but putting on a smile. "Sorry about that... Some of the girls are... Quite hurt, as you can see." She rotated her shoulder a bit, the left side of her robes quite bloody as a bad wound could be seen underneath it. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to dress this." She stood back up, bowing her head slightly before walking from the room, casually picking up her cup of tea on the way.

As Girudo left the room, both of the shrine maidens there let out bated breaths. Judging from their expressions, it wasn't the first time their leader had pulled such a stunt.
