[IC] Athalia Academy: Season Two - Finding Bael

[FaithsRose]

- Little Feather -

Little Feather had been toying with the idea of seeking out a companion to explore with the prospect of being around another person was strangely...exciting at this moment. Her only issue was every time she tried to decide on who to ask, her own suspicious thoughts talked her out of it. “Dragonfly, who to ask?” She murmured to the spirit animal as he flittered around in front of her casting his light on the grass beneath her feet. She shivered involuntarily as she felt something brush against her neck, beneath her hair, she barely had time to process this however as something slammed into her shoulders sending her forward onto her knees without warning. Dragonfly flashed in alert whirling over to her side he spun circles around her head, until she got back to her feet. “What was that?” She asked him, turning around to see what had pushed her.
She barely had time to register her surroundings before an invisible weight fell on her shoulders she gasped in surprise, bowing her head as something flicked her forehead she swung her hand up trying to swat away whatever was there.

She missed of course, shivering a second time as another unpleasant sensation tickled the back of her neck. She was completely thrown by the entire ordeal, her suspicious instantly jumping to the conclusion that malevolent spirits were after her. She hadn’t been expecting the side swept kick it literally took her feet out from under her, causing her to fall back onto the ground with a heavy thump and small exclamation of pain. Dragonfly flashed again, his color shifting to that of a warning red as he fluttered by Little feather’s side. “I’m OK” She wheezed at the concerned animal, pulling herself upright as fear rose up inside of her threatening to override her unnatural excitement but feeding her suspicion. “...maybe we should go back inside” She suggested to the dragonfly as he buzzed beside her, she reached round to rub her back.

Before the Lakota could retreat from the trickster pair however she was suddenly set upon by a mob of crows, she released a high pitched scream lifting her arms to cover her head as she crouched low to the ground feeling their claws graze her skin as they spiraled around her cawing at her. Her fear truly piqued as Dragonfly fled the birds heading for the safety of the cabins and leaving the young woman to the mercy of the darkness...she hated the darkness, by now all traces of excitement had been beaten out of her. Once the crows had gone she stood up shakily hugging herself tightly, she looked in the direction Dragonfly had gone and back at the door leading into the lounge. She had just taken a step towards the lounge when a raccoon carcass was thrust in front of her pulling another girlish scream from her lips, feeling a strange flood of warm air by her ear she flinched away from it spinning on the spot as the carcass hit the floor she blindly bolted from the clearing diving into the woods in an attempt to escape what she suspected to be evil spirits.

She couldn’t see a thing in the darkness as she stumbled between the trees encased in a bubble of fear without the aid of the trickster pairing her mind gave shape to the shadows surrounding her, monsters that weren’t really there clawed at her as she ran, clawed hands scraped at her skin as she passed by the trees when in reality she had passed to close to the shrubbery surrounding them. She only stopped running when she eventually looped her foot under a tree root which wasn’t cliche at all she broke her fall with her arms barely stopping herself from going down face first, she scraped her elbows on the hard roots of one of the trees. Her breath left her in ragged gasps as she sat back up pushing her long hair off of her face. She stayed where she was, the weight of her fear glued her to the spot. Before she hit full blown panic her trusty light source zipped his way through the trees coming to rest beside her sheepishly, she breathed a sigh of relief lifting a shaking hand to her head...her next problem was now she was pretty sure she was lost and she couldn’t be sure she’d outrun those troublesome spirits.

- Mercy -

Mercy felt her stomach sink as Zivon tried to stop himself from crying, she was struggling to resist the urge to comfort him she was generally good at that kind of thing with the right words on her lips and a gentle attitude. However her instincts told her it wouldn’t be as simple with the boy before her, he seemed so nervous one wrong move could crumple whatever confidence he already had. Her forehead had creased with concern as she settled her dark blue eyes on him, careful to avoid his eye if he willed it. She felt a wave of sympathy pass through her as Zivon gave her a weak and broken smile, it really tugged at her heart strings as if they weren’t damaged enough.

She smiled warmly at Zivon her eyes taking in his appearance he clearly wasn’t ok. “Don’t take this the wrong way but you really don’t look OK honey” She murmured, amusement briefly entering her expression as she heard the young boys stomach rumble at her suggestion about getting some food. “Well that answers that you simply must come with us to grab something to eat” She smiled at Zivon the concern leaving her expression as she got to her feet and turned to Darwin.

Mercy was relieved to see Darwin’s grin return, it was unsettling how much she had grown accustomed to his jovial disposition. She tilted her head to the side as he looked down at his sneakers the happy glow having left his face again, a look of concern crossed her face she was starting to worry about him now. She offered him an encouraging smile as he turned to her. “Trust me there will be” She assured him before he turned to the blonde girl beside him, she ran her fingers into her hair idly waiting for Darwin to make a decision though she rolled her eyes as he grumbled about Seven. “Darwin...Seven hasn’t really done anything bad enough to warrant that reaction, remember he didn’t know who had the numbers he picked” She gently chastised the unicorn, reaching over to poke him in the side playfully. “It’s not bad at all, come on cheer up. You’re still as awesome as you were before” She winked at him, smiling encouragingly before she turned back to the others.

“I think we can get some food from-“ Before she could finish however Zivons ankle gave out on him, Mercy inhaled sharply as she lurched towards him crouching in front of him as he landed with a soft thump. Before she could ask him anything she noticed the blonde girl was crawling towards Zivon, she raised an eyebrow at her as she gave him a gentle smile and greeted him wondering what she was up to. “I’m just going to take a look at your ankle ok Zivon” She murmured gently to the boy reaching over she moved his hand away from the swollen ankle, taking a quick look at it before she lifted her gaze to scan the room in search of Little Feather. She was aware of the Lakota’s ability to heal...she felt a little disappointed that she wasn’t still in the room it left her one option. She blinked as the blonde girl passed her a first aid kit, she took it gratefully placing it beside her...she was going to need that in a minute without a doubt. “Thank you” She smiled at the girl, she really needed to learn her name.

“OK, I can fix this just relax, I promise you this won’t hurt a bit” She assured Zivon holding her hands above his wounded ankle they begun to glow dimly with a soft white light, a slight tinkling noise filled the air as Zivon’s pain seemed to fade away, literally draining from his body even his weariness would have ebbed away replaced with a sense of refreshment. Mercy managed to stop herself from wincing as she transferred over his injuries she had luckily got down on her knees as she felt pain course through her ankle, she smiled reassuringly at the boy as the light in her hands faded away and she sat back, the slightest bit of tension rising in her spine. “All done, how so you feel?” She asked him, resting her hands in her lap. “If you’re feeling better how about you three go ahead to the restaurant, I just need to put this first aid kit back and I’ll follow you” She suggested looking at the holographic girl, the blonde one and Zivon as she gripped the first aid kit tightly in her hands giving them no reason to believe she was in any pain, though she had deliberately not looked at Darwin. She half expected the unicorn to bounce off with the others if they went, though a part of her hoped he’d wait...she wasn’t sure she was going to be able to get up on her own.

- Alistair -
Alistair really liked her smile. that nagging thought was still there but he ignored it. she spun the little thing and then put her foot on the corresponding circle. he then spun the little thing, it landed on a blue circle he read the thing beside it and it said 'right hand' he took said hand and put it on the nearest blue circle "am i doing this right?" he asked with a chuckle. he then scooted the little spiny thing closer to Cyber and waited for her to spin it and put down a body part.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Zivon-

Zivon stared at the woman as she said he was not okay, it was pretty obvious he guessed…no point hiding what you can’t hide, no matter how much you want to hide it… ‘Maybe I shouldn’t be a nervous wreck….’ He thought clearly, he didn’t want to people to see his burden and how he will just drag them down. As he rubbed his ankle, Drow came by and said hi to him, he just nodded and bit his lip again, he guessed well mostly though how he looked like a weak child, just begging for help and a hand to guide him. He noticed her bringing a med kit from somewhere, probably from the bar and brought it to him. All he could do is give out his frail and small smile to her. “T-t…ha….a..n-nk…y-y…o..o-u” Zivon said in a weak tone.

As he was sitting down on the floor Save said He should really stop falling, he couldn’t help to give out a small chuckle… Maybe he should stop falling... ‘Maybe I should just lay down forever…no…dad wouldn’t want that…’ But after that chuckle he became really sad, like a brick had hit him hard at the head. He could only look at the floor, feeling rather bad for himself once more. As Zivon continue to look at the floor he noticed the woman saying that she will just take a look at his ankle, he panic as she moved his away from the swollen ankle, his breathing turn remarkably heavy and fast, he was shaking even much more that before. ‘P-please…don‘t hurt me….’ He kept repeating that thought, hoping it will not happen, anything could easily break him down and he hated that he knew that. He closed his eyes and started to remember the awful memories, he even remember a time when a bully pulled on his ankle and made him fall into the mud. It made him so close to crying and once more getting a panic attack.

All of a sudden a light glow came when the woman put her hands on his ankle and then the pain from his ankle started to fade away, soon his tiredness as well from his sleepless night. He couldn't help but to be shock, he wondered how that happens but after all Athalia is much a magical school. Soon he felt much better, in the physical side not the mental side. He looked at the woman, eyes filled with wonder in how she really do it but he nodded slightly at her gave out a weak mumbled. “…N…o-ot m…u-u…ch-ch… p-pa….ai…n…” He blinked but all he can do his thank her, it made him feel a bit better. “T-th…ank…y-y…ou…” He bowed his head in an other way to say thank you to her. He didn’t realize he really haven’t caught her name yet, he felt really bad after that and bowed his again. “…S-or…r-y… w…h-h…at’s y…o-u…r-r name? I fo…rg…ot to a…s-k…” Zivon then heard that he, Save and Drow would go ahed to the restaurant… 'What restaurant? …Since there…a lot of restaurants in this island so which one…’ He really had no clue what restaurant the woman was talking about. He sat down, waiting for some clue about the restaurant but he realized he didn’t want to go ahead, he prefer to wait for the woman as since she fixed his ankle up. Zivon sat on the floor just going to wait for the white hair woman.

–Cyber-

Cyber couldn’t help to give out a sweet smile to Alistair; he gave him a nod that he was doing it right. “You are doing it right Alistair!” He then spun the dial as it landed on right hand on red. He then put his right hand on red. His placement placement was okay just a bit weird in how he was holing his body up by only his left foot and right hand. “Oh I forgot, we can’t use our elbows or knees, has to be the foot or hand.” He almost forgot that rule, he forgot about that rule a lot when he played it when he was younger and always lost to it but he was sure he could win, now he waited for Alistair turn.

[Theobromine]

– Kathy

“Mm. It happens.” She assured Crash, reaching up and giving him a good ruffle of his hair. It felt as though it had been a long time since she had done that. Kathy stopped for a few seconds with her fingers still brushed into his soft red hair. Smiling warmly, she messed his hair up even more than usual and retracted her hand back with a light laugh. “Good thing you weren't the one doing that dare, otherwise you might've gotten penalized for not following the King’s orders.” She was actually glad he didn't do the dare for other reasons, but she decided to leave it at that for now.

Kathy beamed at the two boys. “Great!” It was an idea she only came up with mere moments ago, but she was already excited for it as though it had been something she had been looking forward to for weeks. The nodding at Alex she replied, “That sounds like a good idea. Though...” She looked around, wondering if there were any blankets conveniently lying around for them. Going all the way back to their rooms just to grab a couple of blankets seemed rather troublesome. Eyeing some of the beach towels laid out on the chairs she asked, “Why don’t we use those instead?” She briefly gestured at the beach towels with an open palm to indicate what she was referring to. Otherwise, she thought it probably wasn't too much of a detour to the student houses anyway.

As the boys had some time to think about the suggestion, she looked around them. Most of the students had already left once the end of the game was announced, and the others nearby seemed distracted by their own conversations. Lifting the hand that was opposite of where Alex sat, she brushed her fingers against Crash’s. “Um…” Blushing again, she looked down at their feet instead of up into his eyes as she asked, “C-Can we hold… Hands? So we don’t separate in the dark…?” Her voice grew quieter with each word, though hopefully it was still audible enough.

It was a rather lame excuse to tack on, especially considering she usually just led people around by the wrist. And they didn't need to hold hands yet since they were still in the brightly lit area of the lounge. ‘Smooth Katherine Argall. Smooth.’ She thought, inwardly groaning. But she felt rather conscious of the fact Alex was right there on her shoulder and she felt the need to have some sort of reason to hold hands with Crash. Even if they had been holding hands already down at the beach, she still felt even shyer than usual with a witness around. ‘Alex wouldn't read too deeply into it, right?’ Attempting to bank on the innocent image she had of the blue-haired pixie, she tried not to think about how obvious her actions probably seemed.

[Animelover_princess]

- Alistair -
Alistair watched with amusement as she got into her odd configuration. he reached over and spun the spiny thing. it settled on a yellow circle with the words right foot next to it. he did as the spiny thing told him to and ended up in a weird position much the same as Cyber but he held his other hand and foot off the ground and as such was kind of facing her, luckily the wings gave him a good balance in just about any position, a fact he doubted Cyber had taken into account but he wasn't going to mention now.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Cyber-

Cyber watched how Alistair seemed to have an easier time with this game, must be good balance or something… he shook his head, gave out a small simple laugh and then spun the dial again, as it spun quickly it landed pointing that he was to put his left hand on green. It was now getting difficult, as he had to cross his arms and bend his body a bit down to reach the green. When he was able to do that he was slightly lower than Alistair and bending slightly, trying to accommodate with the new position. Cyber looked at Alistair, showing that he was having a hard time but still having fun.

[Animelover_princess]

- Alistair -
Alistair chuckled as she went under him to reach her next spot, she seemed to be having a little trouble but she still appeared to be having fun. he reached over and spun the thing. with a huge grin on his face as it landed on red and right foot, which forced him to go over Cyber, which was difficult as she was actually taller then him, not by a lot but enough to make it that he was very very ... very ( ;) ) close to her. he grinned down at her and said "your turn"

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Cyber-

Cyber started to blush as Alistair was on top of him and was very…very…very much close to him than he though. He could feel Alistair at his back, grinding a bit, all he could do is make a very loud gulping noise and spun the dial once again. It had landed right leg on yellow…he looked where he was sat and wanted to scream. ‘ How the hell can I doo this!?’ He screamed at himself, it seemed easy really but with Alistair on top him he couldn’t really see where was the yellow behind him so he took a deep breath and put his right foot in front of Alistair left foot and beside his left hand . Now he was lower than ever, this was seriously hurting his body but he was competitive and is not willing to lose. “y-your…turn” He winced a bit since he was feeling small pain he was defiantly handling well.

[Animelover_princess]

- Alistair -
he looked her over she appeared to be in pain but she told him to go so he did, carefully reaching over her and spinning it, it landed on right hand and blue. he chuckled and lowered his head for a few seconds then carefully leaned slightly closer to her and put his hand on the blue spot directly below her chest "sorry" he whispered. shifting slightly to try and make her a bit more comfortable but there wasn't much he could do. his back as bent at a little bit of an odd angle and his wings were fluttering to try and keep him upright, he nodded to her with a slightly strained look on his face "your turn, Cyber"

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Cyber-

Cyber looked to see the hand of Alistair as he placed his right hand between his right hand and right leg. He nodded at him and then carefully spun the dial, it had pointed where he had to put his right hand on green, and he bit his lip as he was really close to swearing. This was getting really difficult but with difficulty means a way to win he guessed. Cyber then moved his hand underneath himself. and place his right hand above his left hand. He looked like he was doing the split or some ballerina move, he was defiantly starting to feel pain, his legs being a bit stretched and his muscles were getting weak. But yet again his strong personality he was trying to win. “You turn again Alistair.” Cyber replied, hoping to win.

[Scallop]

Vanessa

Vanessa watched in amusement as the girl panicked and ran around screaming. Music to her ears. The terror on her face was delightful and she could tell Seven would be pleased also by their little experiment, well fun. Vanessa called off the crows and made them fly off somewhere far away. This was about to get alot more fun. Vanessa smirked at the little kitty cat Seven as she suddenly stepped out of the shadows and approached the girl. She winked back at Seven as she did this and smiled innocently at the girl before the victim ran away in terror with her little dragonfly following her like a little pet. Vanessa giggled menacingly before skipping after Little Feather without going invisible, avoiding the trees unlike the idiot girl.

"Is something wrong, Little Feather....right?" She asked smiling innocently and dusting the dirt off her arms. She grinned at the little light source and kneeled next to the girl. "WHy are you sitting alone in the forest, alone in the dark?" She asked again. "MY name's Vanessa, need some help?" She then looked back away from her and made a cawing noise to alert Seven.

Darwin

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Seven-

Seven grinned as he watch Little feather panic and scream, the joyful sounds made him smile wider of course he was lucky that Mr. Lion wasn’t with her… a big cat fight could have happen. He watched Vanessa as she walked towards the scared girl like she didn’t do a single thing, as she made a cawing noise to signal him, he also stepped out of the shadows and stood beside Vanessa. “Oh! Hey Little Feather! What are you doing here in this dark…creepy forest? Where’s Mr. Lion? He did not follow you?” Seven asked, giving out the most deceitful voice to show that he was not lying even though…he was. He glanced at the little dragonfly and licked his lips; he had eaten bugs before…a small appetizer before his meal.

“We were just having a little stroll around the woods here so I am surprised to see you here…do you need help? Or we could just walk away…leaving you here.” Seven gave out another huge grin; it seemed so friendly yet there was something terrible about it.

[Ebil Bunny]

- Dani -
Liam's face suddenly turned bright red.
"N-Nothing, I-I was just-" Liam began, before running off to a nearby building. Dani watched her go, feeling rather confused.

Liam came back only a couple minutes later, and handed a drink to him.
"Take it." she said. It was a question, it was a demand. She was commanding him to take the drink.
Dani, still confused, took the drink, popped it open, and took a sip. As he watched Liam silently, he noticed that she was avoiding eye contact.
What's wrong? Have I done something I shouldn't have? Dani wondered, worried.

"You can tell me now." Liam told him, breaking Dani out of his thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, um... Tell you what?" Dani asked, embarrassed.

[Scallop]

Darwin

Darwin finally got his grin back and suddenly beamed up at Mercy. She was right, he was awesome, nobody could stop that. He'd always be awesome, amny other things could change but his awesomness would always stay the same. He watched in glee as she began to heal Zivon or something. He'd never met the Zivon guy but he could tell he wasn't having a good time at all. Darwin grinned and held out a hand full of skittles to the boy. "Hey Zivo!" Yeah....that was a good nickname, ZIVO! "Have some skittles! These ones I got from Russia! They've got some amazing ingredients in it!" He grinned and turned back to see Mercy in pain...he thought. There was definetly something afoot....something weird.

He wasn't sure what was going on, but he waved to Drow and the others as they walked off. "See you guys soon!" He shouted as they departed. "Yeah...you're right Mercy, there's still more stuff for me to do!" He giggled again and held a hand up for her. "You're alright, right? Cos it would suck if you were hurt bad, I eman how'd he get hurt so bad, that was strange..."

[Animelover_princess]

- Alistair -
Alistair was definitely on the verge of falling but despite that he still spun the dial (with the hand that had been under Cyber). he chuckled dryly as it landed on left hand red. he carefully returned his hand and shifted the other one, having to cross his arms over Cyber's head. his back bent at an odd angle to accomplish the task. his breath was a bit ragged and fast but he still managed a smile at Cyber their heads weren't far from each other at this point. he got out "your turn"

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Zivon-

Zivon looked at the strange purple hair guy as he called him Zivo and offered him skittles. He looked clueless as he was called that… Zivo…it was a weird nickname…. he was called Zivvy by his dad, Ziv by other but never Zivo. Looking at the odd guy, tilting his head as he sees the “skittles” he offered to him. He never heard such a thing as skittles… only able to eat simple normal food and not buy fancy stuff or even candy. “Sk…S-kitt…t-t..les?” He looked at the assortment of colors and carefully picked a red one, Zivon was looking at it, as it was a totally new thing for him, well it was.

He continued to stare at it until he put it in his mouth and finally tasted the candy. “S-Sw…we-e….t-t” It was an odd taste for him, never trying candy for most of his life, it was a new experience for him. Zivon listened how the weird purple haired guy asked about the lady as now she looked in pain. He was worried now; did she do something to heal him but gain the injury herself? He carefully though of it, it seemed to be the close answer… he though a lot and sort have believed that was it. He kept quiet as he now felt he became a huge burden now, he should have just dealt with the pain…let it be at least. Looking at the floor not even going to leave now, he hugged himself…he was making sure he was quiet enough to cry and nobody to hear him.

–Cyber-

Cyber noticed how Alistair was also having a hard time with the game; he couldn’t help but to giggle, still underneath him he took a deep breath and moved the dial. It had landed on Left foot red… as he carefully moves his leg towards the red mark his body was defiantly in an awkward position. It seems like it was forcing him to move his butt up as tried to squat really had to bend his body. Cyber felt Alistair as he moved his body to adjust to the new position. His butt was pressing himself towards Alistair and made him blush a bit. “U-uhh…y-you turn…” He was blushing really badly and made sure Alistair couldn’t se his blushing face.

[FaithsRose]

– Crash–

Crash lowered his hand hearing Kathy’s reassurance he glanced at her smiling gratefully for her understanding response. His smile grew as she reached up to ruffle his hair, it had been a while since she’d done that. His expression slid from jovial to affectionate for those few seconds that she stopped, it had been a fast action but for Crash it felt like it had lasted longer with her fingers brushed into his hair, he felt the tops of his cheeks tint with color embarrassed for reading into it. One of his eyes slid closed as she continued to ruffle his hair, grinning at her warm smile and light laugh as she retracted her hand. He adopted a sheepish expression at what she had said Yeah...if I wasn’t already penalized for refusing to do it though he wasn’t sure he wanted to voice that thought...maybe if it had just been Kathy there he would have. “Good thing it wasn’t me hmm?” He grinned at her. Or you... His blush deepened a margin at that thought, he had been relieved that she hadn’t been one of the chosen numbers though he wasn’t about to voice his reasoning...

He was a little taken aback when Alex actually smiled at him every time he’d been near the pixie boy before he’d given him the cold shoulder despite the shapeshifters best efforts. He returned the boys smile with an honest level of warmth to it nodding in agreement upon hearing his idea, looking back to Kathy as she beamed at the pair of them he felt his smile grow in response picking up on her excitement at the idea it was incredibly difficult to not feel the same way...unaware his gaze had lingered a little longer than was necessary as she spoke to the blue haired pixie. “Hmm?” He blinked looking over at the beach towels she had indicated; he saw no reason why they shouldn’t use them. “Sounds like a plan” He agreed keeping a smile on his lips, he quickly retrieved the towels before returning to stand beside Kathy, momentarily distracted by the small gathering around Mercy he didn’t notice Kathy lift her arm towards him until he felt her fingertips brush against his own, he felt a slight shock run up his arm as he turned his attention back to her tilting his head to the side as he noticed the blush spread across her cheeks he frowned wondering what was up as she focused her gaze on their feet. His smile grew at her stuttering question just about catching what she said as her voice grew quieter, he felt heat rise to his own cheeks. “Sure...I hadn’t thought of that, good thinking” He answered with a grin, sliding his fingertips across hers hesitantly unsure whether she meant right then or when they got outside.

Did she mean now or later? I really need to work on my social perception or at least my Kathy perception...That was definitely something he needed to do, he must have done something wrong earlier to receive a flick to the forehead...Before he could think too much into it he gently attempted to take her hand within his own. Prepared for her to withdraw from the contact of course secretly hoping she wouldn’t. He had been pleasantly surprised that she had even suggested it, he hadn’t expected it all. He was surprised at how self conscious he felt about the simple action; laying it down to the fact he was worried one offhand comment from someone else could make her change her mind... “Shall we?” He grinned at both Kathy and Alex, nodding his head towards the door before moving towards it either falling into step next to Kathy if she had accepted his hand or slightly ahead of them, eager to start their adventure.

– Mercy –

Mercy was relieved to see Darwin beam at her after she had assured him he was still awesome, she was glad to see him back to his old smiley self. Mercy was distracted by Zivon again, she could almost sense Zivon’s panic, whether it was magic or not she had a natural sixth sense about what people were feeling. In fairness it wasn’t magic, it was a heightened sense what people rarely thought on was how much their emotion leaked through in everything they did, their body language, speech even possibly in scent, one just needed to know what to look for. Not that the blue eyed woman could rely on the olfactory senses...She felt good being able to use her abilities to aid another, it brought a sense of fulfillment knowing she could at least alleviate the boy of his physical pain. Mercy smiled at Zivon as he glanced at her clearly happy she had been able to help him, her high pain threshold was challenged by the injuries she had transferred from the boy yet again she had pushed an extra spruce of energy into her healing to help him feel refreshed. She tilted her head to the side as he asked her for her name, she grinned at him. “Don’t worry about it, I should have introduced myself better. I’m Mercy pleasure to meet you” She introduced herself holding out a hand in greeting though she didn’t entirely expect him to take it.

The blue eyed woman felt a slight wave of disappointment ass over her as Zivon and the others showed no sign of moving off. She mentally sighed How bothersome... “Or not...” She murmured, her warm smile returning as she watched Darwin hold out skittles to Zivon, chuckling at the nickname he gave the nervous boy. Her amusement drained however as she heard him say the skittles were from Russia, unsure whether they were the same ‘black-market’ skittles from earlier. “Oh erm-” She started cutting herself off as Zivon popped a red skittle into his mouth. Oh dear...hopefully they weren’t the cyanide ones... She thought running her fingers into her fringe trying not to worry too much over that fact. Mercy was convinced she wasn’t do a very good job of hiding her pain as not only did she notice Crash cast her a concerned look, Darwin was doing the same and now Zivon was. It was irritating...she looked up at Darwin as he spoke to her with a small giggle before he held his hand out to her, she couldn’t remain irritated near the jovial unicorn it was impossible.

She gratefully accepted his hand though her face fell as he questioned her on her well being, she cast a quick look at Zivon, holding onto Darwin’s hand for a while longer without moving. “Y-yeah, I’m fine just healing can be a bit...taxing” Mercy assured the unicorn as she got to her feet slowly using his offered hand to assist her to her feet though she didn’t put any weight on her right leg, she tried but it wasn’t happening without some kind of support...how had Zivon been walking around on it? She cast a glance at the nervous boy, seeing as he hadn’t moved yet she noticed he had retreated in on himself she may not have heard him crying but she could kind of just tell. She looked back at Darwin apologetically, finally releasing his hand she was rather glad the bar was so close by. “Thank you, how very chivalrous of you” She thanked him with a playful wink before she hopped over to the bar.
“Ok... so maybe a little damaged but not much” She grinned sheepishly, lifting herself up onto it, swiveling around she dropped down the other side disappearing from view as she returned the first aid box back to where Drow had got it from when she reappeared a few minutes later she hopped back up onto the bar repeating the swiveling motion and hopping back down carefully. “It’s no big deal though, I heal fast” She smiled reassuringly at Darwin, something white was wrapped around her right ankle it meant she was able to weight bear on it and she was able to push any pain it caused to the back of her mind, blocking out the Dr part of her brain that chastised her for not initiating P.R.I.C.E.

She walked back over to Darwin and Zivon unable to crouch she had to lean down in front of the nervous boy, shifting her weight to rely more on her left foot she had one hand holding her top so as not to embarrass herself the other outstretched towards Zivon. “Come on Zivon, this isn’t your fault I’m the one that wanted to heal you. You’re not to blame at all, now how about you come with us to get something to eat hmm? It’ll make us all feel better” She murmured softly to him, managing to sound firm but in a gentle way so he couldn’t take it as demanding, she held her hand out for him to take as Darwin had done for her just minutes ago. “Someone lead the way, anywhere with food would be a grand place to be right now” She threw out there taking her eye off of Zivon for a moment to smile at the others.

- Little Feather -

Little Feather put a hand to her face resting her fingers against a cut on her cheek that had sliced through one of the red lines Leroy had painted on her. She retracted her hand frowning at the red residue that stained the tips of her fingers, the cut wasn’t serious it was just in an unfortunate place. She looked over at Dragonfly as the spooked spirit animal flew up to hover above her casting a beacon of light over her, she instantly tensed as she heard an unfamiliar voice call out to her by name. She looked over at the girl who appeared through the darkness smiling innocently at the young Lakota, “H-how do you know my name? Who are you?” The words rushed past Little Feather’s lips in a worried rush as she pulled her legs closer to her body. She set Vanessa with a very suspicious gaze as she came to kneel beside her, she didn’t trust the other girl at all. If it hadn’t been for Leroy she would not have thought to be suspicious of Vanessa, instead instantly placing her trust in the girl and probably accepting her offer of help. “I’m not alone, I’m not in the dark” She told Vanessa pulling back from her casting a glance in the direction the girl cawed in. Crow? Crows are a sign to stay alert, danger is coming Little Feather thought. How ironic that Vanessa was a ‘warning’ to the young Lakota...

Little Feather jumped as Seven appeared out of the shadows as well, she would have normally trusted him straight off the bat as well he had gotten on so well with Lion...but their sudden appearance paved a bridge for her implanted suspicion to flare up. Her fear overshadowed the implanted emotion of excitement and as she reached up to wipe her cheek she ended up smearing one of the red lines weakening it further. Dragonfly flittered about above her having calmed down enough to continue flying in slow circles overhead. “I-I was just going for a walk...” She answered Seven. “Lions close by...he went to find me a dock leaf for a sting” She lied to the bakeneko...convincingly. Something the Lakota hadn’t done before yet it somehow felt right to do it now, the suspicious pair before her were beginning to scare her. They want to hurt me, just like the others...don’t they? She got to her feet unsteadily nervously clasping and unclasping her hands as she did. “I-I’m not alone...I have Dragonfly” She told Seven, visibly unsettled by his strange grin.

“We’re ok thank you...we’re just exploring” She murmured to the other students, taking a step back she folded her arms across her body. “We’d best go catch up with Lion” She told the trickster pair, offering up a somewhat weak smile before she begun to move away from them moving at a funny angle so as not to turn her back on them. Dragonfly flew a few metres above her head offering her his light as she trudged through the forest with no idea where she was going as long as it was away from everyone she didn’t care right now

Liam

It was difficult to keek her eyes of him she sometimes glanced at him as he seemed to be thinking about something. Liams green eyes were glowing in the dark so it could clearly be seen where she was looking at. He didnt seem to remember where he in the first place wanted to talk about "About yourself, You wanted to talk about your powers." She looked him in the eyes again when her cheeks felt normal again "Are you okay sitting here in the cold with those wounds." She looked at his scratched face again and his elbows.

- Dani -
"Oh, right, my bad." Dani said, grinning sheepishly. He paused for a moment to think about where to start, when Liam spoke again.
"Are you okay sitting here in the cold with those wounds?" she asked. Dani looked down at his scrapes.
"Yeah, I'm fine now. It's not that cold, being on a tropical island and all. We might want to get to a warmer place anyway, though, as you aren't exactly..." Dani blushed slightly and looked to the ground. "... wearing the warmest of clothes..."

- Alistair -
Alistair both liked and didn't like the position he was in. Cyber was an attractive girl, unfortunately his back was revolting. he thought through the pain "it's odd, technically this body's not real and yet it still hurts, interesting" he carefully spun the dial and groaned when it landed on right hand green. he looked around them at the board and had to make a decision, reach his hand forward and put it in front of cyber's or bring it back behind her foot. he decided on forward, he had to stretch but he placed most of his hand on the spot and prayed that it was enough, he was squeezed even closer to Cyber now and could feel the ghost of a blush coming on, "uh, your turn" he muttered.
