Lyn embraced Keri, letting the vampire’s arm wrap about her and keep her close. The girl’s tongue flickered out and absorbed the cherry blossom scent she enjoyed about Keri. Granted it wasn’t the vampire’s own natural musk but it was much better than that absence of smell, the void making her and most animals rather uncomfortable around the undead students. Few of the other vampires were as accommodating to ‘gain’ a unique scent and put the hybrid, or her mother, at ease. Keri wasn’t like them which made the child enjoy her more as she pulled away, her feet falling down to the ground and stepping back. 

Lyn hadn’t noted the bear had moved from her shoulder to the ground until she noted Keri’s shift to her bear’s direction, moving forward to inspect the thing. Her voice was slightly concern, her body taking a knee to bring herself to the bear’s level. [color=silver] “Alright buddy just think of this as a check up.”[/color] 

She then asked a question that draw a thoughtful look from Lyn. [color=silver] Hey Lyn did he started walking after I gave him back or when Ucile took a look at him? If so I would love to ask my teacher where I went wrong.”[/color] 

[color=pink] “He walked before Uicle got a hold of him, through not very good. I know he made some improvements and stitched him together a bit better.”[/color] The girl admitted, truthfully, with her finger to her lips thoughtfully. She then frowned at the bear when he growled at Keri’s outreaching hand causing the vampire to retract it, commenting on his sour mood. 

[color=silver] “Okay. Sorry. I didn't realize that you were against everyone else touching you.”[/color]

[color=plum] “Hello! You must be Helena, right? I remember seeing you. I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you for your help, have I? My name is Annabeth Gulch. How are you?”[/color] Annabeth’s voice appeared suddenly causing Lyn’s head to jerk immediately to the source then relax. She was still a little jerky since the mission and so every once in a while, she reacted to abrupt noises despite her knowing the person was there. Thankfully no one had decided to startle her or she might’ve bolted off or worse. 

Annabeth then turned to address her. [color=plum]“Morning Lyn, are you just by yourself today?”[/color] 

Pausing long enough to look at Helena, who she noted was looking awkward in her body language, Lyn gave Annabeth a warm smile before she came forward to give the older student a hug. Stepping back, she replied. [color=pink] “I was collecting mulberries for Uncle Tyrael, namely to make him feel better as he seems down in the dumps. I was hoping to possibly get one of the cooks to teach me how to make it into a pastry and bring it to him later.”[/color]
