Arkane Halls

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar grabs Avine, looking deep into her eyes.

"Healing. It's all I can do, and I failed. You understand? I failed. At the one thing I can do... I'm worthless..."

Tears flowed freely, and he collapsed face-down, unable to so much as save his muzzle from hitting the ground suddenly. He was conscious, but he twitched violently, and couldn't lift so much as a finger off the ground.

"...wtr..." he muttered through a jaw he couldn't move. He last remembered having a drink at the coffee bar the day before with Avine, but even then it was COFFEE - and caffeine is well known for causing dehydration.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She helps him up off the floor and offers a slight smile to Savel. 'You did fine. It was bound to happen sometime.' She signs to him. She gives him a half hug, as best that she can while supporting Lokyar.

[Cifero Windtail]

"Alright, I think perhaps we should all get a drink of water," Jackal said. "That was probably quite dehydrating for most of you."

[JohnnyP789]

Savel smiled on the outside and hugged her as best he could, but on the inside it was eating him alive. He turned to Zephyr and smiled slightly, and said in a sort of mono tone,"sure, watter will be fine." he started to open the door, expecting a skeleton to come at him. He was on full alert, the sword clenched in his hands.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Avine notices Savel's being tense still but doesn't say anything, offering him a slight smile. She helps Lokyar down to the cafeteria, grabbing a couple bottles of water the cafeteria crew were handing out. She walks him to a table near the doors incase the others decided to join them.

[Cifero Windtail]

(Who's Zephyr?  )

Jackal took a bottle of water as well, following Lokyar and Kitane to the table. He sat down next to them.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

(Huh?? The character I play for this one is Avine Arkane. )

She looks to Jackal and opens Lokyar's water for him. 'How are you feeling?' She signs to Jackal.

[Cifero Windtail]

(Aw crap, I was just ironic!) 

Jackal looked over at Avine. "Well, my arm's a little sore, but otherwise I'm fine," he said, gently taking hold of his left shoulder just above a slightly bloody tear in his sleeve. He shuddered. "I thought that we were gonna get massacred..." He looked over at Avine. "I'm sorry about your father... he was a very nice man."

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She nods slightly and takes a drink from her water. 'It's a good thing that he built he bunkers in each of the class rooms and his office.' She signs, setting the water back on the table. She lightly touches the wound on Jackal's arm and a flash of light emits from her paw, healing the small wound. 'You shouldn't keep things like that hidden. It could get infected..' She signs, smiling slightly.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal smiles slightly, looking into Avine's eyes. "Thanks, Avine. I'll make sure to do that next time. I forgot in all the excitement." He looked back at his water and took a gentle sip. 

[JohnnyP789]

(okay... I messed up... Hop off my back.... )

Savel followed everyone into the cafe and he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, sliding to the ground and put his arms on his knees and sighed, mumbling to himself,"i wasn't fast enough..."

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar reached out for his water, picked it up and tried to drink from it - only about a third of the bottle actually went down his gullet; the rest was lost to shaking and nearly dropping the bottle and such. He stands up, takes a couple of steps towards getting another and collapses again - this time he can drag himself further, and does so.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She helps him up from the floor and helps him back to the table. She grabs her water, helping him drink it without spilling it this time. She sighs and gets up, walking over to Savel and crouching next to him. She puts a paw on his shoulder and forces him to look at her. 'Listen, you tried your best. I don't think that any of us would have gotten to him in time to save him.' She signs, putting a reassuring paw on his shoulder. 'Dont blame yourself, okay? I know that not everyone can be a hero. Trust me, I know..' A small smile finds its way to her muzzle and she nods slightly. 'Come sit with us.' Standing she offers her paw to help him up off the floor. She was trying to help her friends get past the traumatic experience and be strong for them, but on the inside she was about to break down again.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal got up and walked over next to Avine, ready to help in case Savel needed more support. He casually glanced at Avine as he came over and felt a surge of respect for her. She had been through so much, but she managed to stay strong for others. I imagine that she's going to be a great headmaster someday, he thought to himself.

[JohnnyP789]

Savel looked at her and smiled slightly. He looked at Jackal and smiled again, he grabbed her paw and he stood up with her help and he walked over and sat down, putting the sword across his lap and looked at the table," I'm sorry Avine...."
