Raelle looked really confused when Mithros kissed her head.
'It's like the whole fricking world turned upside down," she muttered.
Now that they were on the ground she unbuckled and knelt in front of where Ardiente was sitting.
"I'm pretty sure your parents knew you didn't really mean that. We can try to resurrect them....and even if they don't want to be resurrected, I think maybe Krays can help, let you at least talk to them....say goodbye and tell them you didn't mean it and that you love them. I know that it doesn't make everything better, but....you're not alone. You have friends here to help you."
"Feh. What block is it?" his voice shows he really couldn't care less, like all this was expected. Or he really just doesn't sympathize. Hard to tell.
"If he really doesn't remember then it won't do any good. I'll have to face him soon enough in history second block." Normal healing is finished now hair is growing back.
Johnny stand, snapping the data pad shut
::"Cool Ty, well see you later, Skeets will fix you and tell Dave all that was said, if hes not listening in now, look nothing I can do here, Headmaster and the others want to chit chat, See you later"::
S/he smiles and walks out of the medical wing.
Outside asks "Melody" then follows the arrow

Ardiente looks up from his hand as Raelle kneels next to him. If he had noticed Mithros' display of affection, he hadn't reacted to it in any way. His eyes are still full of tears. The light purple streak in his hair a stark reminder of what had just occurred. As she says what she does, the tears begin to overflow and streak down his face, and his hands tremble.
Ardiente slides forward off the seat, to be on the same level as her as pulls her into a hug, his tears dampening her shoulder
"Yes please. Thank you." he manages to whisper after a couples moments. "Thank the gods at least you are safe."
Gets to the infirmary, and sees the Headmaster and one of the other teachers talking to the ice...person. He waits outside, not wanting to interrupt.

"Shh. It's okay," she said, patting him on the back. "And of course I'm okay. The worst thing that happened to me was Fuego Helios calling me an abomination for bringing you back from the dead. I'm still not entirely sure how I did that actually. Thankfully the Phoebus brothers helped or we would've been in real trouble from all those guards. I'm still a little shocked that they did help, but I can't really argue with it, you know?" She was talking a little too fast, like she sometimes did when she felt nervous or overwhelmed.
He shakes his head at the abomination comment and hugs her just a little harder for a moment. As if to say that she was anything but. "I did promise you a trip to the Sun this morning." he says, halfway between sadness and joking... perhaps trying to keep the tears at bay.
He pushes away from the hug slightly, hearing the nervousness in her voice, and wipes the streaks on his face, clearing away any tears. "Thank you, Raelle. For saving me." He's obviously still struggling not to cry, but her presence alone is helping to calm him.
"I could try to train you how I was trained. My order is extreme pacifist. They taught us how to never raise a hand of violence to any one... I'm probably not the most appropriate teacher of it, I have to admit. Since I am no longer a member of that order and I took a path that would lead me to violence." His tone changed like he was slightly disappointed in himself.
"As for class I have everything ready currently. I should however go to the class room to answer any question that may have arises from the students. I promise however that I will bring you lunch today. If you would like to tell me what to bring I would be happy to acquire said items. He offered as a consultation for him having to go.
"I'm not sure pacifist and I are words that will ever go together," she said with an apologetic grin.
"Oh, thank you! I have no idea why, but they keep bringing me salads for meals...I like salad well enough, but at this point I've started dreaming about cheeseburgers," she admitted sheepishly.
"As you wish. Here for when you need a break from the meditation." Salis reached into the satchel on his side. He pulled a book out and handed it to Ori. Salis waved bye to her as he turned to leave.
The book left to Ori is entitled Adventures of Palladium. The book is a well told version of his background with different names and a lot more entertaining. Most of it however sounds like fiction.

"Of course I'd save you. You're my friend. I wouldn't abandon you. You're important to me."
Sorchan finds himself floating above next to Alton.
"One moment, sir." He says, casting a spell to change how gravity works and neutralize the crowd, at least partially. "That argument took about thirty-five seconds longer than I planned. Fuego was quite stubborn."
He looks into her eyes, purple flecks now in his fiery orange eyes. Tears still hover there. His mind is looking for meaning in those words that perhaps didn't actually exist. After a moment of locked eyes (unless Raelle looks away first), Ardiente closes his eyes and bows his head. "You're very important to me too."
igni watches. He doesn't really say anything.
Ori eagerly takes the book and is glad to be able to spend the time on something entertaining. Meditation really wasn't her style.

Human forms might be more convenient on the ground, but being thrown into the air the majority changed to bird form. The tumbling confusion of not knowing which way was up at least gave pause to the rioting crowd. And pause was all that was needed. The remaining council members fled, not wanting to risk the wrath of the people. There were only a handful of actual casualties, though many injuries, most prominent among them Fuego Helios. He hadn't even had a chance to protect himself as the people literally tore him to pieces in their anger.
Sorchan looked at the scene, his own anger faded. He had to focus not to cry. So much wasted life. It could have been worse, but it was already bad enough.
"If we leave things like this it will just repeat again and again.....we have to find a way to destroy the sun. We would need to evacuate everyone first and then.....if it's gone then maybe our people actually have a chance to start over. Or at least stop torturing each other."

She looked him in the eyes without any level of awareness of his feelings or the slightest trace of anything more than friendship. When she remembered what she'd read that morning in Dave's note to Ardiente she looked away. She didn't even know if it was true that Ardiente had those kind of feelings for her, but she didn't want to mislead him into thinking that she felt more than friendship. It would probably be a long time before she could trust herself enough again to let those kind of feelings develop towards anyone.
"I like the purple hair," she said, pointing to the new streak. "It suits you."
"Not sure why it's different from before....I hope I didn't screw things up when I put you back together....ummm...maybe you should get checked out at the infirmary just to be sure? It's not like I knew what I was doing."
"How many days would you need to evacuate, and how many of the buildings do you want saved?"
"At least three.....and none of them. Maybe some of the works of art, portable things, but....we need to start over. There's nothing worth saving here except the people."
setto decides to pass by the infermary. He asks for something that could remove excess power.

Ardiente takes a shaky breath, trying to calm his racing mind. The guilt was still there. No matter what Raelle said, he had played a part in the death of his parents. Maybe, just maybe, they could be brought back though.
As before, nothing between him and Raelle had changed - she was simply his friend, and he would be hers. There was nothing else there. It was time to let go of those feelings. There were more important things right now.
"Purple hair?" Ardiente sounds genuinely surprised, and a hand goes up and runs through his hair... not feeling anything different. He casts about for a mirror, but doesn't see anything of the like. The more Raelle looks as it though, it does seem to suit him: perhaps his pattern had been distorted before, and she had maybe even set it right. Set it back to the way it was supposed to be. He might even look weird now without the streak of purple.
"Maybe that would be best, if we go to the infirmary." he sounds worried, touching where Raelle had pointed when she mentioned the hair. Purple hair probably wasn't healthy, after all. "I would rather have my head on my shoulders though, even if it means a little purple hair." it sounded like a joke, but there was no mirth in his voice.
Ok...he's gonna interrupt. He pokes his head in and knocks on the door frame.
"Headmaster? Can I have a moment? It's somewhat important..." there is urgency in his voice.

She hugged him. "I'm so sorry we didn't get there sooner."
"Come on," she said getting to her feet and holding out a hand to help him up. "Let's go get you checked out, and then once you have a clean bill of health we can go talk to Krays."
igni might as well follow.
Skeets moves on to other patients but remains fairly close by, keeping a metaforical eye on Tybalt
"Hay, can you leech extra power from someone?"
::why certainly, from whome would this be done to?::
"Me. Shouldn't take long, it's giving me a terrible migraine. It's close enough to psionic energy."
"Don't ever apologize for that, please. To think three noble-born had rushed to my rescue... the times really are changing." There is some hope again in his voice, and a little hint of something else... something indistinguishable.
He was supposed to rescue the damsel, not be the damsel, after all.
He takes her hand and allows her to help him, standing with her assistance. His hand still trembles slightly as he takes hers, and his eyes are a little red from the tears. "Who is Krays?"
Ok...he's gonna interrupt. He pokes his head in and knocks on the door frame.
"Headmaster? Can I have a moment? It's somewhat important..." there is urgency in his voice.
"Yes, Mithros?"
"At least three.....and none of them. Maybe some of the works of art, portable things, but....we need to start over. There's nothing worth saving here except the people."
"Some would argue otherwise. The people part that is. Just how big do you want this start over to be, anyway? Without the Council's laws, for example, being abjured means nothing."

"Krays is married to my sister-in-law, Ephebe. He's got major death-related powers I guess. So he should be able to help," she said, letting him lean on her as they headed for the infirmary.
At some point during breakfast - during which Ehos had been fairly introverted - he turns to Jaiye with the datapad, displaying - with a somewhat concerned look on his face: 'Do you think I should invite Anahita? I don't want to make you uncomfortable, I know you don't like her, so I won't unless you say it's okay.' He really didn't want to screw things up with Jaiye, but at the same time, he remembers how troubled Anahita had been before the accident yesterday.

"Exactly."
"I don't have all the answers, but we can't go on the way we have. We'll have to figure out the rest as we go. But as long as this place exists we'll never get away from our past."

"Ummm.....I think that may be like going to a dog-fight wearing a suit made from raw steak. The situation is already pretty volatile. What with me being an unwelcome guest already. Add in someone who makes me cranky to be around....Ehos, I think it's a terrible idea.....I'm sorry. I feel like I'm letting you down now," she said, ears drooping.
"Yes, Mithros?"Ok...he's gonna interrupt. He pokes his head in and knocks on the door frame.
"Headmaster? Can I have a moment? It's somewhat important..." there is urgency in his voice.
"You're a Seer, right? Well, there's been a wee uprising on the sun and Sorchan del Sol was left behind. Can you see if he's ok?"
::certianly, just a moment, please hold still and try not to resist:: Skeets glows and hums breifly and soon after you feel the pressure ebb
... "Ok, the funny thing is, now im hungry."
Perhaps her second best place in the entire school, for now, is the Cafeteria, and Anahita in delight-- gets her meal.
Fruits, finger food, and anything that doesn't require utensils, though the cup and fluid in it will do.
Carrying her tray along, she waves upon seeing Jaiye and Ehos, though doesn't stop, heading along over to another table closer to the windows or doors out, getting fresh air while doing so.
Then she eats. Not like some savage beast, but .. finger food loving teenager that she is, dressed in .. yet again, the same outfit as day one.
Looks clean and fresh though!

Ryo's eyes cloud over as he looks.
"Should have known he'd show up there. Sorchan is fine. He's not even hurt."
"Well Tbys I guess your feeling somewhat better. I think Ill be getting out of the way of the doctor for now. I'll let you all know when band practice is scheduled once I schedule it. You get feeling better Tybs." He nods slowly to Tybs and Johnny before turning to leave. "Roel would you like to continue our conversation or do you want to stick around to watch over Tybs?"
"Exactly."
"I don't have all the answers, but we can't go on the way we have. We'll have to figure out the rest as we go. But as long as this place exists we'll never get away from our past."
"Just don't repeat history. Congratulations on you eldest being a part of firebird society again, once there is one. I'd send flowers, but she loathes me." ;)
Salis entered his classroom a few students had already arrived wanting to ask question about the reading material. He has everyone of them take a seat while he explains there questions. His mood seemed slightly more chipper today. Less like he didn't want to be bothered. His answers seemed more up beat and examples more comprehensible to the students.
"Thanks. See ya. Feels like its mostly just the last bits of my fur getting finished now." He opens his eyes for the first time in a bit. "Oh Gods."
"Ooh! Fear!" now rather hungry, he ruses over to eat tybs fear, pain, confusion and stress.
