Zilla lunges out at Grim grasping him in a hug. Still crying she hold on to him for comfort of any sort. After a few moments Lang catches up. Zilla leans back away from Grim. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to take you both away from everyone." She keeps sobbing but tries to continue. "No you didn't say anything to offend me or Hew. Lang you ether. It was when that thing put visions into Hew's mind. Hew and I are connected in the mind so visions that he sees I see. That things pushes visions of the worst things that happened to Hew into his mind. A kept them there. If Hew wouldn't have left when he did there was a good chance he would have attacked him. He thought he wanted to hurt me like the others tried. Hew has always protected me. That person used those visions to show his true intent. Her voice cracked with sobs.
grim initially freezes in surprise, but eventually does hug her back before she lets go, when she speaks grim frowns concidering her words carefully "hmm I had no idea that he was doing that to you two.. No wonder he went at the summons so.. Enthusiastically yesterday. Hey that gives me an idea, but first did you finish eating?"
"Oh, hi Dom! I have a question."
Dom makes his way over to Tybs and Roel's table. before he get in a good sight line he casts a smell putting a sweet smell under nose. "Hey guys hows it going? Mind if I join you.
"Raelle, can you fly? I can carry you, but we need to run while whoever that is keeps them distracted. I can tunnel us out... probably." This situation wasn't the time for politeness and pleasantries... those would have to come later. Ardiente continues to feel more and more invigorated as the fire on him continues to burn.
"I'm not sure. I'm feeling a little better now, but still very tired."
"Eh. Do you mind not telling people?"
Star zips in front of him
"Asking a Fey for something, well now that could be tricky, but we can fix that if I ask for something back, I will not tell IF your promise to me my friend, how do that sound? All fine an Fey like"
"Hello sun... As long as you can take my being a loving conduit of the things i hate, feel free."
grim initially freezes in surprise, but eventually does hug her back before she lets go, when she speaks grim frowns concidering her words carefully "hmm I had no idea that he was doing that to you two.. No wonder he went at the summons so.. Enthusiastically yesterday. Hey that gives me an idea, but first did you finish eating?"
Zilla looked at Grim after he asked about the food like it was the most insensitive thing she has ever heard. "No I don't feel like eating now. This has I just want to get way from that thing."
"Eh. Do you mind not telling people?"Star zips in front of him
"Asking a Fey for something, well now that could be tricky, but we can fix that if I ask for something back, I will not tell IF your promise to me my friend, how do that sound? All fine an Fey like"
"I try and be friendly to everyone". He extends a hand if she feels like landing. Or shaking. If she tries, he can't even partially touch you
"Oh, hi Dom! I have a question."
"I may have an answer." He joked as he sat down.
::My apologies, Sorchan, sir. But I like the dramatic and I get so few chances to cast the spell.:: Alton dismisses the spell with a thought, ignoring Fuego. "I have a list of crimes each member ofthe council, living or dead, has commited. Including one that has changed firebird history for the worse."
Zilla lunges out at Grim grasping him in a hug. Still crying she hold on to him for comfort of any sort. After a few moments Lang catches up. Zilla leans back away from Grim.

Lang kneels down beside grim.
Zilla, I want to share something with you, something that happened to me while you were away on that little trip. Vriskra was with me and Sun, and a similar thing started to happen. Vriskra flew off. I was the only one fast enough to catch her. when I did we were far from here way to the east in the mountains. settro was with me at the time. As I approached Vriskra I had many horrible visions, so horrible I couldn't bear to face them. visions of loosing all of my friends. I couldn't go any further. I landed on a ledge on the side of the mountain. and there I cried. I couldn't face what I saw without all of you, and you were not there. but I frigive Vriskra, she is trying to stop doing that but she really needs our help. I failed on the mountain becuase you guys were not there. so lets not let Vriskra fail becuase we are not there.
He scoops her up without another thought, the wings of flame erupting once again from his back, he flinches slightly from the pain of overbending, but maintains his composure. He wouldn't let anyone else he cared about die today.
"Follow me! We're leaving!" A tunnel, 5ft wide, opens suddenly in the ground as Ardiente focuses his ki to bend the stone. It's wide enough for flight, and curves ever so slightly away from the plaza, through the ground.
Still carrying Raelle, he dives into the hole, making good use of Sorchan nad Alton's distraction.
"Only one?" Sorchan asked dryly.
He glared at his parents where they sat in their council seats and then turned his attention back to Fuego.
"Oh, hi Dom! I have a question.""I may have an answer." He joked as he sat down.
"I'm kind of in a predicament. I have to decide between two things... One, learning about my past, witch may make things better, worse, or even destroy the me I know. The other option is to continue living in stagnant ignorance, content but unchanging."
"Well, moreso than the others."
"Hello sun... As long as you can take my being a loving conduit of the things i hate, feel free."
Vriskra, I have seen a small portion of what you do, and yes I was afraid, but I didn't leave you behind. neither did lang when he came to find you with settro. Lang has seen what can do, and still he acepts you, as do I. And sara, she does as well.

that's either a smile, a grimace, or something else entirely, "I... Don't know what to say sun. But she was so afraid. i don't want people to be afraid... Not of me. I was told this is a tool... But I don't understand how." (her common is much better...)
"Because I'm not the one who created false charges against members of houses that, had certain members not been abjured, would have become prominent enough to take a seat on the council. Good, honest families that would have revealed your crimes themselves."
::What say you brother? Stay or go?::
Once Mithros and Igni are also in the tunnel, it closes up behind them. Ardiente intends to take them away in a random direction, aiming for the outside of the Sun...

"So put Hew through so much unneeded torment how can I forgive someone for hurting the friend that has been there from the beginning. She made him live trough the torture he endured because we trusted the wrong person once before. Why should we trust this Vriska. They have only hurt us. Saying trust her is like saying I need to trust Professor Soleben, the man who decided it was a great idea to see the effects of shock therapy on our union." Zilla turned away from Lang. "We have trusted the wrong people many times before and we can't just trust someone that's willing to torment us because we're there.
::What say you brother? Stay or go?::
::go. Best leave soon. I think I hurt myself.::

well vriskra I don't have that answer either, but we are in a school after all, a place of learning, lets learn how together
he offers his hand waiting for an acknowlegement of trust or friendship.

"Can you really say your living not knowing? That should be your real question. I can't answer that ether. If you want to know then go for it, if you don't then live with your life how you want to live it. But from how you are talking about living without knowing I would say you want to know. He bites in to a sandwich he had on the tray.

she wraps a wing around sun, and pulls him in tight. You think she would be crying, If she was built for that.

::Alright, let's go then.::

"Until a few days ago, I couldn't even remember what curiosity was like... I'm used to living the same. The idea of changing is frightening..."

igni bolted after ardentie, hoping that those two could handle themselves.
"I try and be friendly to everyone". He extends a hand if she feels like landing. Or shaking. If she tries, he can't even partially touch you
Star lands on your hand,
"haha nice trixy way to say yes, you know the Fey way, but this is something you asked of me, and I ask of you, others as you know may ask as they will"She dos a little dance,
"yes yes, Friends we will be"
Considering the potentially mad looking Professor, Anahita looks forward again and says, "Not in the least. You are touched by something extra ordinary. Only ignorant people who know naught of your situation would say such things, probably out of fear or an inability to relate. It happens quite a bit..." her words trail off in thought.
"I," looking back now, "am content to merely walk along, Professor, unless you sought to have me out here for reasons other than to quell my potential anger back there. You have succeeded, I might add. It was only temporary, not unlike a quick flash fire in the plains."
Closing her eyes while she walked along, she took a few moments to breath the air and feel the sunlight on her face, tilting her head up slightly while doing so.
Vare is quiet for a long moment following Anahita's statement regarding his being touched by something extraordinary. It really was extraordinary... for all the pain it has brought him, all the loneliness and grief... it had also brought him here, with Rena. Among such people as Anahita, the Headmaster, and the Children of the Dream he had met the previous day... perhaps among them he could start to build a life. A real one.
"I am also quite content to walk along here, I had no purpose originally other than to pursue the pleasure of your company. Though I will eventually have to make my way to my teaching responsibilities, but not for a while yet. Perhaps you can tell me more of your homeland, or the travels you mentioned? My own stories of home are... not very pleasant, so I will spare you them." He had resumed walking at this point, and caught up with her fairly easy pace.
"You count yourself among the good people? Interesting. Where are the records for the charges then? I checked, they're missing. They aren't with your ifrit 'friend' downstairs, that's for sure." Alton remains undeterred, speaking calmly and clearly for everyone to hear.
"I try and be friendly to everyone". He extends a hand if she feels like landing. Or shaking. If she tries, he can't even partially touch youStar lands on your hand,
"haha nice trixy way to say yes, you know the Fey way, but this is something you asked of me, and I ask of you, others as you know may ask as they will"She dos a little dance,
"yes yes, Friends we will be"
"Hm? Your incorporeal... Seems the shackles get in the way."
"So put Hew through so much unneeded torment how can I forgive someone for hurting the friend that has been there from the beginning. She made him live trough the torture he endured because we trusted the wrong person once before. Why should we trust this Vriska. They have only hurt us. Saying trust her is like saying I need to trust Professor Soleben, the man who decided it was a great idea to see the effects of shock therapy on our union." Zilla turned away from Lang. "We have trusted the wrong people many times before and we can't just trust someone that's willing to torment us because we're there.
becuase zilla, forgiveness is the first step toward healing. without it we only become what we fear the most. Forgiveness raises us above them. will you trust me zilla? will Hew trust me? Zilla in these past few days i have seen more torment and more pain than you can possibly imagine. and trough it all I find a way to forgive. I want to show that to you.
Lang places his hand on her shoulder.
follows after his brother...

Sun hugs her back makeing a face at the slimy feeling but he tries his best to hide it. I'll need a bath, wait I hate water, but I need a bath...Ahhh drat,
"Sorry... I messed up your fur..." she lets go.
"Sorry... I messed up your fur..." she lets go.
Sun just smiles it was worth it
sun turns and give sara a big slimy hug
"Until a few days ago, I couldn't even remember what curiosity was like... I'm used to living the same. The idea of changing is frightening..."

He bites in to a sandwich he had on the tray.
Oh I know what you mean there. Ever since I arrived here things have been different in my life and it scares the hell out of me. A week ago I never would have thought about getting in to a relationship, now I have Tamina. My sister's also in a relationship, still coming to terms with that one. I have you guys as friends and so many others. I never would have thought that so many things in my life would change just by coming here. Some good but not all of them. Even if you don't learn about you past you'll still have to deal with change though. Here in a few years all of us will. It's not like we can just livee here as students our whole life so don't worry about the change. If you want to know about you past the do it if not then don't, but your past doesn't change who you are."
"I used to be human."

My own stories of home are... not very pleasant, so I will spare you them." He had resumed walking at this point, and caught up with her fairly easy pace.
She's not moving too far ahead, or out pacing him, merely walking.. calmly, slowly, with the occasional avoiding of stepping on a bug, or a small plant beneath her foot. She appears to almost instinctively not do so to the world around her.
"Your tales of life are not something that would cause me to flee, Professor- since they are what makes you you, do not feel obligated to hide them from me." She flashes him a winning smile at that, full of joy and youth.
"As for my own tales.. they are long and varied. Do you have a specific ..moment I should begin with? We will do as others have in the past, a tale for a tale, agreed? The conditions we both set, we adhere too, or not, but it is a good means by which to ensure a conversation, at the very least." With a smile and light bounce to her step, she continued walking along, a mild excitement in her manners.
becuase zilla, forgiveness is the first step toward healing. without it we only become what we fear the most. Forgiveness raises us above them. will you trust me zilla? will Hew trust me? Zilla in these past few days i have seen more torment and more pain than you can possibly imagine. and trough it all I find a way to forgive. I want to show that to you.Lang places his hand on her shoulder.
She looked back over her shoulder at Lang while placing her hand upon his. "I trust you, but I can't trust them. Trust must be earned and that person took a huge step backwards in earning it. She took off running away. She no longer wanting to talk about it.
"I used to be human."
"Do you want to go back to that, or find out how this happened?"

Ace returns her smile with one of his own "You're quite welcome Tyrrin. Not sure about you, but I definitely consider you a good friend here." He then chuckles "Which is good, cuz it appears we're gonna spend some serious time together."
His tummy finally rumbles "I'm off to get breakfast. Would you like me to get you anything?"
"I..." Tyrrin turns away for a moment, hiding what she had been unable to suppress, a momentary weakness in her jawline, a trembling. She takes a long, deep breath. Without turning around, she says: "Yes, Ace. I consider you my friend."
After a moment, she turns around, her face clear of all emotion save for a small, almost sheepish smile. "I would like some breakfast, if you find the time. I woke up a little later than I intended after all. Thank you very much... Ace."
"Hm? Your incorporeal... Seems the shackles get in the way."
"Most of the time but I can become solid when I want, and big like a biggy, yes yes, and change shape"
She changes shape to look like a tiny Demon skipping on his hand.
"I would like some breakfast, if you find the time. I woke up a little later than I intended after all. Thank you very much... Ace."
