Royal Mess | Astrid

Ugggghhh... I guess I should get this over with. A familiar won't summon itself... Sadly.

With a rather annoyed groan, Astrid removes her beloved witch's hat from her face and rolls off the bed, making sure to let out an absolutely monstrous yawn as well. Cracking her knuckles and straightening out her white and fluffy bunny ears, she approaches the table and picks up a summoning magic grimoire, hastily rereading the necessary incantation. Her thoughts, however, are focused on her potential familiar's appearance rather than on the summoning ritual itself.

Please, be at least somewhat capable... And fluffy... And preferably bipedal. So that you'll be able to do more of my work, hehehe... Please be an uncommon class, please, please, pleeeeeaseeee...

Crossing her fingers on her one hand, Astrid outstretches the other one forward, ready to get this yet another assignment she doesn't care about over with. AHEM! Spirits from the world unknown, I ask thee to heed my call! Be my help; we'll act as one, and our bond won't be undone!

However, disinterest on Astrid's face slowly starts to change into confusion as she sees the summoning vortex becoming... Golden?.. Wait, what?! But... That can only mean that...

N-no way... That only happens in the books! This must be a mistake, there's no way I just summoned a ROYAL class familiar, no, no, no! It can't be! H-how?! Why?! Wha-

Astrid's bewildered ramblings come to a screeching halt as she slips on a book pile under her feet with a loud yelp, landing right on her rear. As a figure emerges from a summoning portal, all that Astrid can do for a good ten seconds is blink at them, all words escaping her.

Um... Uuumm... Hi?.. Wha-wha-what are you doing here?..
