Smoke filtered out from between the dragon's teeth as she glared at the Draconian. His jumping back, though, did admittedly make him a little easier to see. Pausing a moment to register the daggers in his hand, her grin returned. With an amused glint in her eyes, she taunted, "The fuck kinda dragon uses butterknives?"
Dagny moved forward, attempting to close the distance between her and the Draconian. As she did, the skin on her arm rippled and produced scale-like armor that extended to her finger tips. From there, her nails grew into talons and upon reaching Ark, a clawed hand balled into a fist and she aimed a punch for his throat. Her opposite hand was on standby, ready to defend should he use the daggers.
Ark stood umoved as the dragon girl began to morph. As she aimed her fist and threw the punch, he muttered something, causing the daggers to glow a brilliant white. The light magic Ark had used on the daggers could cause temporary blindness, or atleast distorted vision. He had no idea if this had any effect of Dagny, so he began to step back, slowly at first.
Ari saw Ark and Dagny going at it, Dagny turning more reptile-like by the minute. Welp, it sure broke into a fight. Ari wasn't sure of what to do to stop it. She could poison both and threaten them into stop fighting or she wouldn't give them the antidote, but it was unsure of whether they would really stop or shift the target of their anger to her. Ari thought it'd be better not to risk it now, since she wasn't exactly a close-quarters fighter.
Dagny's eyes narrowed against the light, a short and annoyed growl coming from her throat. She continued with the punch, however, and hoped for the best. With Ark's step back, she found that the punch would connect lower than intended and against his chest.
Ark practically flew back. He landed on his back, laying in the snow. His head had hit a small rock, causing a bit of bleeding. Ark was dizzy as he started to stand back up. His breathing was heavy and slow. Both of his daggers lay strewn across the courtyard. When he looked up, he saw Dagny, standing close to him, obviously ready to kill him. Ark decided not to put up a fight.
Chris took a sip of his coffee as he strolled outside. The day so far had been pretty uneventful, just boring, standard classes. Noticing the commotion nearby, he stopped and stared. He hadn't really anticipated a fight so soon, but the lower classes never ceased to amaze him. Let's see... There was the girl that he'd talked to earlier, Ari, the draconian, and some other girl. She looked vaguely familiar, but he wasn't sure. He simply watched, sipping his coffee until he saw the draconian fly into a rock. This was going downhill fast, and it was pretty apparent that nobody was going to intervene.
"Hey!" he yelled as he jogged up. "You two, that's enough!" His voice carried, loud, gruff, and full of authority. Whatever authority he had, anyway. Still, he hoped it would be enough. He tapped a bystanders shoulder during the approach. "Go get the med staff, he needs help."
Dagny, caught up in her anger and the heat of the moment, stepped foward to kick the literally downed opponent. Though another voice cut in and she caught herself, barely keeping balance and her attention turned on the fifth year, pupils still elongated like a lizard's. She scowled, though, and stepped back as the scales on her arms disappeared into her skin. She snorted, smoke coming out of her nostrils as she placed her hands on her hips, another glance at Ark. "What do you want, cybitch?" she asked.
Cybitch. Clever. He briefly smirked as he glanced down to the ground, shaking his head. It was almost patronizing, like how one would laugh when a child doesn't know they're talking themselves into more trouble than they're already in. "Look, I'd rather not maim anybody today. Leave him alone, now." His tone had softened -after the threat, which admittedly sounded pretty cold-, but was still absolutely serious. He nodded his head coolly to the fallen Ark, and looked Dagny in the eyes. "I think you've made your point."
Ari let out a relieved sigh when Chris arrived and ended the fight. Her hand was already in her belt full of needles, her fingers wrapped around one. But now, there was no need to do such things. She woobly stood up and supported herself a bit on Chris' shoulder. "He is right, Dagny, Ark. Look at him, Dagny. You trashed him really good, babe. That should be enough." Through Ari's mind, the thought of Dagny doing all of this for Ari's sake passed through. She should at least thank her. "Thanks about that." She said to Dagny, with a wholehearted smile on her face.
Dagny scowled at the cyborg, responding at first only to the threat. She turned on him, though the talons retracted back into regular looking nails. "Look--" Then Ariadne spoke up in agreement and she blinked at her. Her arms crossed again and she shot the fifth year another glare before closing her eyes and sighing. "Fine. But he started it," she grumbled immaturely. Ari's thank you brought heat to the dragons face and she coughed, shrugging a bit. "Whatever," she added to her mumbles as she rubbed the back of her neck, blue eyes flickering away.
Ark looked at the scene before him. He was in hell. His face was on fire, blood seeping from the back of his head. His vision was blury, and his hearing was distorted. The last things he heard were a guy yelling at Dagny and Ark, and Ariadne saying something to Dagny. He promptly fell against the snow, unconscious, as blood seeped from his wound.
At this abrupt development, the Vice Headmistress, and the Headmaster on a stick arrived at the courtyard. Ark was being hauled off to the infirmary, as the Headmasters gathered the group at one of the benches in the courtyard. "What were you thinking, Ms. Ek? Based on the report, you nearly killed another student!" The headmaster sounded furious, but at the same time, he sounded a bit pleased with himself. " Mr. Graham, thank you for your help in this matter, you are free to leave as you like." The Headmistress turned the cane towards Ariadne. "And you. Apparently, you're the reason this happened? The other two were.. fighting over you, correct?"
Chris nodded at the acknowledgement. "Sure, no problem." He wheeled around and started walking away.
Ari was somewhat confused at the arrival of the VHM and the HM on a stick. When the headmistress turned the cane to point at her and asked that, Ari first, in a mocking manner, looked around and then pointed at herself, as if the VHM wasn't clear enough already. "Well, I dunno. Maybe? Why do you ask? Am I going to be scolded too if I say yes? If so, then no. I don't know why they were fighting." She says, feigning ignorance for a bit. She didn't really like the lecherous excuse of a headmaster they had, or the uptight gal that was the VHM, so the more she could irritate them, the better.
"Please, do not mess with us. We are looking into this matter, and would like all possible information on what has happened, so that we can resolve the matter in a justified manner."
The Vice Headmistress was not amused by Ariadne. "Alright, to get to the point, Ms. Ek, Ms. Zika, we have concluded that the best way to resolve this matter is to have you both live in the same dorm as.." The Vice Headmistress remembered a note they had gotten after a certain student was offended in 4-Q "Mr. Arkyiel, and will be living together until further notice. Prepare for a long year, both of you. Oh, remember to move your stuff to your new room." The Vice Headmistress handed them each a card with their new room number. It was on the top floor of the 4th year building. "We will make sure that Mr. Arkyiel's items are moved there with him, so no need to worry about that." This was all the headmasters idea, really. The Headmaster had a twisted sense of humor.
Chris nearly spit his coffee out when he heard the revelation. He choked it down, and came back. "Sorry, Headmaster, uhm." He paused, uncertain, crossing his arms. "She almost killed him, and nobody else was going to do anything about it. What if this happens again?"
The Headmaster didn't sound worried with his response "Don't worry, Mr. Graham, the room is already being monitored. Oh, and if an incident happens like this again, all 3 of them will be expelled." The headmaster sounded completely nonchalant with this revelation. The Vice Headmistress started to walk away after this, leaving the students to their own devices.
