Izzy eventually spotted the light switch after spinning around a few times. Flicking on the light, her eyes immediately falling on Luna as she pipped up. As soon as the bandage was unravelled she could smell the blood, but it didn't look good even from across the room. “Ah s**t.” Jogging back to Luna she practically skidded onto her knees, a small spot of Luna's blood smearing into her jeans as she slid to a stop in front of the injury. She reached into the bag and pulled out the misc selection of first aid supplies and spread them on the floor. Looking back up at her briefly to chuckle at not needing the bonesaw. “Heh, yeah right.”
Grabbing a pack of gauze she ripped it open unceremoniously with her teeth and gently pressed it against the wound. Pulling it back to check the bleeding she suddenly furrowed her brow confused. It looked... different? She had gotten a pretty good up close look at Lexi's wound, and the mouth of those beasties, this wasn't the same. The confused look moved up to Luna for a moment before shrugging it off. She was probably wrong. Right? “I- Er, I think it's gonna need a few stitches redone. Otherwise it will just bleed right through again.”
Turning to her side she picked out the medical sutures and placed them next to Luna's foot. “I could do it, if you trust me to that is.” She chuckled in a half joke and settled herself more comfortably on the floor. “Here.” Taking Luna's hand she placed it over her own where the gauze was still pressed against the wound. “Hold this.” Once Luna had it she slipped her hand out and turned back to the bag beside her she shifted through it before growling frustratedly. “Dammit! I forgot to grab painkillers.” Looking up to Luna with a slight tilt she worried about hurting the meek girl. The pain might be fairly mild now, but as soon as Izzy started prodding a needle in and pulling the flesh together she would certainly know about it.
Looking back down into the bag for a final check, she unzipped an internal pouch and found a small clear baggy with a few nugs of green cannabis and a few fairly large pre-rolled joints. “Huh...” She mumbled with an idea. Pulling out the plastic bag she raised it up for Luna to see and pointed at it with a shrug. “I mean... It IS a natural painkiller.” Izzy also wouldn't say no to a chill out, being close to Luna was messing with her head and she needed to stop being so conscious about her actions... It was exhausting.
“It's not like anyone will know.” Pulling out a biff from the bag she put it between her teeth and gave a wide grin and wink up to the girl. “So long as we don't get caught.” She chuckled and dug for the zippo in her pocket. There was zero shits given about getting found out personally, two students smoking pot in the lecture hall wasn't exactly the worst thing to have happened in the past few days. It also hadn't gone unnoticed by her that Luna was also particularly nervous. Izzy wasn't sure if it was because of her or not, but the girl didn't exactly look like she was trying to run away, so she tried to put aside the insecure thoughts as best she could. Lighting up the joint and taking a few deep drags she blew the smoke out away from Luna before holding it out to her. If the girl didn't want it no foul, but Izzy definitely needed it to steady her hand if she was going to be going anywhere near the girl with a needle.

“I will acknowledge that you are strong. Because… you are someone that knows the same pain of loneliness that I do. And… that pain makes a person stronger.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
➤Location: Lecture Hall ➤Company: Izzy ➤Mood/Thoughts: Izzy... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A hard thud brought Luna out of her stupor. She glanced up lazily, still stuck in her own head, to see Izzy rush towards her, knees sliding in her blood. It wasn’t much but the smell would stick to the girls' jeans as they moved about. “O-oh no, you’re pants, they’re going to stain now,” Luna said, still fighting the fog that clung to her head. But when Izzy peeled open the gauze, Luna froze. A cold dred spread through her as Izzy’s confused glance shot up to her own. Oh no! A rushed exhale left her as she scrambled for words. Did Izzy know? Could she tell? That it wasn’t those demons that injured her, but… someone else? She could feel her heart rising as panic set it. There was no way that anyone could find out that another student had done this, especially not that it was Caleb. He was so nice to her and she… she was such an idiot. If the admin staff found out, she didn’t know what they would do to them… him. Rathmore was prestigious and rule-following. Not only did they keep up appearances, they implemented them. Luna’s hands trembled, moving to cover her strips of shredded flash. She clutched it directly, causing blood to seep through the gaps in her fingers. The trembling in her hand aggravating it further, causing pain to riddle throughout her limb. It wasn’t only the fear for Caleb that had set her on edge. It was the fact that she had lied about how she got hurt, or at the very least wasn’t very truthful. Those words, that white lie, had been a horrible way to enter a friendship with someone as sweet as Izzy. Hell looking at the girl now, her guilt multiplied tenfold. There she was worried about her, knee slightly covered in her blood, experienced the horrors of that night and even knew people that sustained injuries. Then, there was Luna, who had implied that she… Her stomach clenched, she felt sick. “Yeah, you’re probably right”, using Izzy’s opening as a distraction. At her next question, Luna gave the girl a quizzical look. Did she trust Izzy? Maybe… It was hard to say. She had just met the girl only ten minutes ago. But if Luna were to trust her, that meant that Izzy would get a better look at her ankle, it wouldn't be hard to put the pieces together from there. Though Luna hoped that she was wrong. Luna nodded hesitantly, trying to stifle the worry that bubbled within her. She let Izzy guide her hand to the gauze. Her calloused hands sandwiched her own, in a comforting embrace; and when her hand slipped out, Luna felt the rush of cold seep into her skin. Luna’s throat bobbed as she audibly gulped, keeping her eyes trained on the girl weary for any changes to indicate that Izzy knew something. But in the end it seemed that the confusion from early had been wiped away to make way for concern. “It’s ok I don’t think I need any painkillers.” Even though experience had taught her well, she knew that she would in fact need them. Adrenaline could only sustain her for so far before it became too much. Luna watched as Izzy pulled out a clear plastic bag. Inside there were small ambiguous shaped mounds and some small rolled objects. A natural painkiller huh? Even though she had essentially grown up in the woods by herself, she understood the implication. She had always had a sense for what to scavenge for and what was less than desirable to sustain her during the night that she couldn’t steal from unsuspecting street vendors. She had come across many hallucinogenic edibles during her years, though she knew to stay away from them. Luna needed to be only alert in case she ran into anyone and eating one of those things would only lower her inhibitions. But she was with Izzy, someone that she felt somewhere in her heart that she could trust. In the few minutes that she had gotten to know the girl, Luna had found a protective streak in her, one that helped in her decision. At Izzy’s wink she smiled and giggled. Putting a finger to her lips miming a “shh” action. “No one will know.” The double meaning hidden under the guise of their current actions. Luna took a long drag, smoke instantly filling her lungs that sent her into a fit of coughs. She cradled her mouth into the crux of her elbow, muffling them. Her face shone red with both embarrassment and her coughing fit. Once they had subsided, she handed the joint back to Izzy, unsure what to do now or when whatever it was to hit. “I’m sorry,” Luna said between coughs. “I wasn’t expecting to react like that.” Within moments, Luna felt a soft hum throughout her body. It felt as if she were vibrating from within. A lazy energy settled over her, dulling her senses. Her head felt a little heavy, but also strangely light, as if one light breeze would send her careening sideways. She propped her head on her knee and gave Izzy a soft smile. One that slight showed an array of pearly teeth and fangs. “I feel… something… happy, maybe?,” she giggled. She watched with rapt attention when Izzy began working on her ankle. Her pinned pupils, blue hair and fuzzy ears, all of it, intrigued her. Luna giggled to herself feeling the slight brush of Izzys fingers on her ankle. It should be painful, but the natural painkiller was doing wonders for her inhibitions. Luna slowly, very slowly reached out, giving Izzy enough time to pull away if she wanted. Lightly, she grazed the girl’s cheek, tucking a strand of hair behind her fuzzy ear. Though she didn’t immediately withdraw. When she did, Luna looked away before tucking her head between her knee and chest. “I’m sorry.”

"I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me. The best of us can find happiness, in misery..."
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
The answers she was getting from the silver haired female had her wanting to shake her head. It seemed that, no matter what she said, Lexi was going to blame herself for things that had happened. It was bad enough their night had been ruined by the monsters that had descended on the ball. She didn’t want the adorable she-wolf to put it all on her shoulders. Callie was tempted to speak up again and call her out on it but swallowed the words in the end. Things had happened as they were meant to and they had both survived. And that was all that truly mattered.
Thankfully, the distraction of the kiss did exactly what she had been hoping it would. The flush on Lexi’s cheeks was all the proof she needed that she had gotten through the doubts and worries that seemed to be a constant in the adorable female’s head. Sharp eyes hadn’t missed the way the other female’s body had leaned towards her own as she pulled back from the kiss. It sent a thrill of pleasure racing through her to see and had her lips curling up into a smile once more. Callie gave in to the emotion and trailed her thumb over Lexi’s bottom lip, unable to resist the urge to touch in whatever way she could.
”Alright then, R&R it is.” Pleased that they had found a middle ground, she shifted a bit closer to her companion and settled back against the wall. She let her mind wander over the things they could do that would allow them both to remain happy, only to have her thoughts shifting at the rest of Lexi’s words. Yeah, like that was going to happen. It was one thing to take it down a few notches and give the she-wolf some space. It was another completely to call her out on things and make her feel bad.
”I shall do my best to try. At least on the first bit, anyway. I doubt I could call you a pain in the a**, even if you think you’re being one.” Her mismatched eyes lit up with amusement as she tossed a wink in Lexi’s direction. With all that out of the way, she lifted the hand she still held and pressed a kiss to the inside of her companion’s wrist. Her canine’s scraped gently over the soft skin, giving Cal a taste of the other female that had her growling softly before she could stop it. She was going to have to be careful, suddenly remembering that there was nothing more than a towel and a comforter between the two of them. Of course, she didn’t bother to stop, she simply watched Lexi and kept her lips moving softly over the pulse she could feel beneath her skin.

Izzy didn't look up from Luna's concern over the blood on her jeans. “Don't worry about it.” It wasn't the first blood stain on her clothes and it probably wouldn't be the last. Her clothes themselves weren't exactly new expensive brands, most were over twenty years old picked up from a yard sale. Already aged when she got them and now fraying and full of holes. One more small mark to the mess wasn't going to bother her.
“Whoa, careful.” Her hand took over Luna's again when the girl grasped tightly to the wound, threatening to do more damage. “You'll hurt yourself.” Trying to gently ease the clamped hands back she inspected it for further popped stitches before glancing back up to the girl. Was she fretting over the need for stitches? Luna was a vampire, but didn't mean she wasn't scared of needles. The hesitant nod had soft concern spreading through her face. “I'll try to make it quick.” Observing over the injury she took note of the broken stitches that needed replacing.
There was still a funny niggle at the back of her mind that this didn't look the same as Lexi's. The marks were almost uniform and the whole bite seemed far more narrow, but that didn't really mean anything did it? The whole thing was a bit of a mess, so she wasn't even sure if what she was looking at was one chew or multiple bites. There was every chance that Luna got jumped by a particularly fugly beast, and Izzy didn't have any proof to the contrary, so she continued to try and ignore the feeling that she was missing something.
The claim that she didn't need painkillers made Izzy release a little scoffing chuckle. “Too tough for that are we?” With a raised brow she cocked a cheeky smirk up, before breaking into a dirty laugh at Luna's cute 'shh' motion. Seemed as though she was up for the recreational drugs as the joint was taken from her.
Izzy turned back down to her supplies, grabbing a square foil packet and tearing it open. Suddenly Luna's coughing fit shot her head back up with concern before realising she was just choking on her first pull. “Haha, it's okay, just take it easy. I know we don't need to breath, but maybe try it for a change.” She jeered at the bright red face, as she took the smoke from her. Placing it between her lips she took a long elaborate drag to demonstrate before blowing it out the side of cocky grin she cast up to the girl as if to show off.
Letting the joint hang from the side of her mouth like a cigar she popped open the pre-torn packet and pulled out the antiseptic wipe from within. Gently she brushed it around the wound to clean up the blood that had began to flake and dry around the opening. “Heh.” Izzy smiled at Luna's note of feeling happy, but she didn't lift her gaze from her work... Not until a silken touch grazed against her cheek.
The vampire's eyes suddenly shot up to meet the bright red stare of Luna, and she froze. Izzy would usually have recoiled at the intimate touch, the core memories of abuse still running deep. Instead, this felt... different. The tender touch trailed across her cheek, sending a flutter though her stagnate heart. She wasn't fully processing what was happening, even when Luna's hand moved away Izzy's moved on its own to give chase. Being stunned, her hand failed to grasp the retreating one and instead found itself coming to rest upon Luna's uninjured knee.
Izzy couldn't help but continue to stare, even when the shy girl tucked her face away and apologised. Was that... Luna liked her? The action was hard to mistake, and a brief panic set in. Had she been giving her the wrong impression and leading her on? Izzy hummed in her head on how to turn the girl down easy, but as she glanced back up and saw her own hand laying gently on Luna leg the blood rushed to her face. Well... What if that wasn't so bad? When she looked at her trying to summarize her own feelings, the only thing she could discern was the urge to bundle Luna up so she could feel safe and care for... “Hey... It's alright. I...” Removing the hand from Luna's leg she rubbed the back of her own neck with a shrug. Izzy sighed frustratedly at herself, determined to not let the girl feel bad or believe Izzy didn't care or at least feel something. Swallowing her nerves, she continued to look down at the wound that she mopped up. “I mean, you're sweet and cute... and I kinda fancy ya, Lu... A lot for someone I just met, heh.” It explained the awkwardness that seemed to follow them, and seeing her own actions in hindsight, it was hard to claim she wasn't subconsciously flirting with her the whole time.
Slowing taking the sutures, she tried to keep her eyes off Luna's, not sure if she wanted to see her reaction just yet. “Maybe we could get to know each other better and, I don't know... Go out some time?” That was what people did when they had a crush on someone they just met wasn't it? Izzy appeared casual and confident on the outside, but her face was still bright red as her mind ran over her own words over and over again. After taking another drag of the joint to try and calm herself with the pleasant fuzz that was current driving her confidence she held it out again for Luna, finally looking up to the big red eyes that kept drawing her in. “If not, I could always leave you here to bleed out. Heheh” She couldn't help but slip out a chuckle through the thick smoke, trying to joke and ease the tension that was quickly mounting. Hoping the soft smirk on her lips was enough for Luna to understand that it was okay to say no, the last thing Izzy wanted to do was feel as though she was pressuring the girl into anything.

“I will acknowledge that you are strong. Because… you are someone that knows the same pain of loneliness that I do. And… that pain makes a person stronger.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
➤Location: Lecture Hall to Hallway➤Company: Izzy ➤Mood/Thoughts: What do people do on a date? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luna couldn’t place the feeling welling up in her when it dawned on her that the same joint that had been in her mouth was now tucked snuggly between Izzy’s. With the coughing now subsiding and her mind settling into a light haze, Luna resisted the strange urge to brush her fingers across Izzy’s lips. To know what they felt like beneath her touch. It was those thoughts that caused her eyes to wrench themselves away from the girl kneeling before her. A group of students passed by lazily headed to who knows where. Not that she cared, she had just needed something else to focus on. Not the fear that penetrated her heart both for the reality of her injury and the unknown emotions that swirled within her. It was not often that Luna found herself at a loss of words…. But unbeknownst to her this school had slowly begun to change her, drawing on things that were long forgotten and hopes that had been broken, and the affection she craved for tortured out of her. “Isn’t a vampire supposed to be tough,” she smiled gently, taking a key and locking up her memories. Only to hide that box in the small crevice of her mind. She watched as Izzy took a drag, as her chest rose and fell, and the tips of her lips curved up in what she knew to be a teasing grin. A grin that had snagged her attention for a beat longer than necessary, before meeting her gaze. “It appears you’re quite well versed at this… I wonder…” She stopped thinking better of herself and shook her head softly laughing. It wasn’t until it happened and the look that Izzy shot up at her that Luna realised her hand had a mind of its own. She felt utterly stunned at her own actions, she was not this forward at anything. But the haze that had settled over her compelled the vampire to its will. She felt the girl’s eyes still on her, just knowing for sure that her actions had somehow messed up whatever friendship that had been blooming between the two. Luna wrapped her arms around her leg pulling it closer, pressing uncomfortably against her head. Her arms shook visibly with strain. She just wanted to melt back into the shadows. This was a bad idea, a very bad idea, she was not cut out for this not the smoking and even more so interacting with other people. She had been better off lurking in the forest by herself. Alone. Like she ought to be. Her breathing sped up in panic unlike any she had felt since… So this is what it was like to be high. She needed to make a note of probably never trying the substance again. When Izzy’s hand rested on her knee, Luna looked up. Just enough that only her eyes were visible, the rest of her face remained hidden behind her knee and arms. She had expected Izzy’s face to morph into a look of disgust, disdain, anger, anything… but not this. Not the light dusting of red had spread across Izzy’s face and not the reassurance that it was alright because in reality it wasn’t Luna should have known better than to act on urges that she has long quashed, knowing that it could only end in rejection. Luna instantly missed the feeling of Izzy’s hand on her knee when it retreated spurring her into action. She straightened her back. Mouth opening to speak, instead only ending in a gasp before shaking her head rapidly. “Y-you don’t need to say that. It’s-It’s not-not,” She had to stop to take a couple of deep breaths. It didn’t help in the slightest. Her heart felt like it was about to hammer out of her chest. Her mouth and eyes had gone dry, so very dry. When Izzy had let go of her to mop up the blood on the floor Luna moved. In an instant she was out of the chair. Bypassing Izzy to rush out the door. She had left her shoe behind and her wrap remained undone. Blood streaked across the floor as moved, stitches snapping in her wake. Just as she reached the door ready to fly out of the room, Izzy’s voice had stopped her. Luna kept her back to Izzy, frozen as she listened to the next words that had left the girl's lips. Sweet? Cute? Fancy Those words foreign to her but felt right at home. Was this what she was feeling? She heard rustling and when Luna looked back it was to see the sutures in Izzy’s hand. “I would… I would like that.” Her heart beat in arrhythmic thumps. “O-only if you’re willing. I-I… I don’t want you to feel like you have to. If this is just because I… then it’s ok really.” Her eyes scrunched and drifted back to Izzy’s. Izzy’s own were trained elsewhere, her face an adorable shade of bright red. And when pins met red, Luna’s breath caught. She limped her way back to Izzy, reaching out for the joint offered to her. It was probably not a good idea to continue, not when her mind already raced from one puff. Though Luna remained hesitant, she chose to trust Izzy and this meant being vulnerable… if only to a certain extent around her. After all, there wasn't anything about this in Jackassery 101. As she took a long drag, she knew what was coming. She mimicked Izzy’s movements from before. This time, Luna coughed only a few times before clearing her throat. “I think… I would much prefer a date over bleeding out,” smiling to hide the embarrassment from her earlier outburst. Luna’s stomach growled, filling up the empty space. It seemed to echo in the large hall, amplifying the sound unreasonably loud. “But first… why don’t we go eat?” Luna sat back down in the chair before moving back into her earlier position. Though the pain was dulled a fraction, she still felt the sharp p***k of the sutures weaving in and out of her flesh. While Izzy worked, Luna stopped breathing, her body tense from the pain that radiated upwards and around. Her hands gripped the chair in bruising force, evening managing a slight crack from the side. Thankfully, the process didn’t take long and before she knew it, they were out the door after cleaning up the mess. As Izzy walked and Luna limped down the hall, she remained highly aware of when the backs of their hands would brush against each other. Each fluttering touch left her feeling a little tingly where skin met skin. She thought she should put a little distance between them. Possibly to make Izzy feel more comfortable, to make sure that her own heart remains in its intended place, or even to prevent her earlier outburst from reoccurring. But life had a way of teasing her in its cruel game. A group of passing students pushed past her in the narrow hallway, making her stumble right into the person that she had been distancing herself from. “I-um–” She pointed back towards the group.

Izzy's fluttering heart immediately sunk as Luna suddenly rushed passed her. 'I bollocks'd it...' She knew the shy girl was on edge, so why the hell did she push her like that?! Obviously a beautiful lass like her wouldn't really be interested in a gremlin like Izzy. Besides, Izzy had always been happiest on her own... So why did the rejection hurt so much? It's not like she wasn't used to s**t not working out, that was the story of her life at this point. Luna was just... She didn't have to words to describe it, but for a split second she let herself believe that she could be good to someone instead of getting walked all over. “Heh, I was going to say the same thing.” The fact the girl stayed though gave her a chance to re-grapple with her confidence. After all, Luna was two steps from leaving with nothing stopping her, instead the girl limped back towards her.
'A date?' Well that was basically what she said, but hearing it in those terms made the idea more real. “Heh, it's a difficult choice, I know.” She smirked slightly at the self dig, hoping to make light of Luna's almost retreat. It had hurt, far more than expected, but Izzy didn't want to let Luna see that. The meek girl was clearly a people pleaser, so the last thing wanted was her to stay only in fear of Izzy's feelings. So she tried to play it cool and keep the cocky smirk on her face to hide the insecurities that she was currently burying as deep as she could.
The sudden sound of a grumble echoing in the room startled her though, and she looked up with wide-eyed confusion till Luna's mentioned eating. Izzy couldn't help it, and immediately burst out into a dirty laugh, breaking the tension in her like a sledge hammer. “Got the munchies, huh? You're ******** adorable, Lu. You know that?” Unable to stop herself from making the comment, she grinned with small emerald irises staring in awe.
Taking the joint back from Luna as she sat she finished the last few drags to kill it before stubbing the roach out on the bottom of her boot and flicking the remains into a nearby waste basket. With a steadier hand, she threaded the needle and gave a reassuring half smile up as she positioned herself closer to the injured leg. “Ready?” She asked softly before piercing the flesh with a slight wince on her face. Stitch by stitch the bleeding subsided and the open wound pulled closed. Leaning in she bit off the excess with pointed teeth before sitting back to check her handy work. Taking a fresh bandage she wrapped Luna's ankle, trying to be careful not to do it too tight but also secure enough that it wouldn't be falling loose any time soon. “All set.” She scooped up the empty packets and bloodied bandages, making a half arsed attempt to wipe up the mess on the floor before deciding ******** it, good enough.
Once out the door and down the hallway Izzy's mind was quietly working in the background. A date though? They were going to the cafeteria for lunch, but that wasn't a date right? She should take her out somewhere, off campus clearly but where? She missed the brush of their hands, and only broke out of her thoughts when Luna's smaller frame stumbled into her side. Izzy stopped in her tracks, turning to catch the girl by the small of her back. Her surprised expression shifted to a scowl when Luna indicated to a group of students that pushed past. If it was just Izzy she would have just grumbled and ignored it, but the protective spark in her flared brightly for the meek girl. “Ey! Watch where the ******** you're going!” She snapped back at the students, only to receive a parade of disgusted sneers. Izzy nose wrinkled as she snarled back. “Tsk, wankers.”
Looking back to Luna her annoyed look softened slightly, “You alright?” Glancing down to the bandage worriedly, “I swear, if those bitches popped that wound again, they'll be the one needing stitches.” She shot another grumble to the back of the students heads who had already seemed to have forgotten about them. “Come on.” The protective hand still lingered lightly on Luna's lower back as she guided her onwards down the corridor, not wanting to fully let go in case the girl needed her support again.
Reaching the cafeteria, she swung open the door and held it open, mimicking the way they just met. “You wanna sit down and I'll grab you something?” Concerned with how much pain Luna was in from the fresh stitches and walking, she thumbed over to the tables with a shrug. Izzy wasn't sure what she wanted herself other than maybe another pack of blood, with the slight high something to snack on would do. Really she only found herself here because of Luna.

“I will acknowledge that you are strong. Because… you are someone that knows the same pain of loneliness that I do. And… that pain makes a person stronger.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
➤Location: Cafeteria ➤Company: Izzy ➤Mood/Thoughts: Where is my emotions for dummies book... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was dawning on Luna that this was something she would need to get used to, especially if she wanted to go on a date with Izzy. She knew that Izzy was only looking out for her… as shocking as the concept was to her. Though when the girl sneered back at the group in a sharp tone, Luna didn’t quite conceal her involuntary flinch. With the side of her body cradled in the girl’s arm, closer than they had been ever before, Luna’s ear had been in direct line of Izzy’s voice. In order to divert attention away from her reaction, she moved to stand in front of Izzy. Luna brushed a her fingertips across the back of Izzy’s free hand; catching ahold of her pinky before giving it a light squeeze. “It’s okay, I’m okay,” she smiled reassuringly. “They just didn’t seem me is all. On account of being short.” Luna hovered over a hand over her head, to accentuate the point before lifting her leg. She was sure if the bandages had popped then there would be pain and blood spreading through and out of her. As it appeared, neither were happening. She tilted her leg to give Izzy a better look, “See? It’s all good, perfectly intact. No harm, no foul, right?” She hoped to placate the girl. “Come on, nevermind them, food matters more.” Luna used the pinky in her hand to draw Izzy away when a thought struck her. “Is this what munchies feel like? I think I could eat a whole elephant right now and then some. I don’t think that I’ve ever been this hungry” she mused. She could still feel Izzy’s lingering hand on the small of her back. Its light touch felt intimate, protective, comforting; amongst all else, it was… ticklish. With every light brush, different parts of Luna’s back tensed to ease the feeling. She tried her best as they walked to keep her laughs at bay. In the cafeteria she saw more people than Luna was comfortable being around. The noise came from all around her and a slow deep throb emitted from her head. After two days of near silence the hustle of students grated her nerves.The hand that had been holding onto Izzy’s pinky moved to intertwine themselves with Izzy’s fingers. Letting the comfort of that hand ground her. “Yes please,” Luna whispered. Her own voice seemed to pound in her head when she spoke. What she had smoked earlier appeared to have far greater an effect than anticipated. “I’m going to find some seats then.” With a final squeeze of her hand Luna moved across the room. Many of the seats were taken with all the excitement to leave the lockdown. Those that she passed had arraying atmospheres of grieve, pain, and relief. It took a couple rounds of limping before Luna was able to find a table in a far corner next to a window. She found the chair and table warm from the light that filtered through. With Izzy out of her immediate vicinity, Luna had the opportunity to analyse what happened after meeting the girl. From what she could tell, Izzy had a protective streak to her. She was unsure whether this stemmed from an internal sense of chivalry or whether she was somehow… special. That somehow she had become a part of Izzy’s inner circle. Though one thing was for certain, Luna deep in her heart, hoped that it was the latter. Maybe it was Izzy’s instant acceptance of her, maybe it was Luna’s need for affection, or maybe it was something wholly else; but Luna felt that she could possibly come to trust the girl with more than she had ever given anyone else. With these thoughts, came the memories from before. The way Izzy had called her adorable when no one else had done so, the way Izzy’s teeth grazed her skin when finished off her stitches, and the way Izzy’s hand rested on her back as she stood up for her. Luna’s head thumped against the table. Her hands came up to cover it soon after, shielding her from everything else and clutching at the roots sending sharp sparkes of pain through her skull. “Just what is this feeling?” she mumbled.

Jane Bastion  A smile grew as she tried to suppress it, glancing to the right when hurled a few heavy compliments. Jane believed he understood and happier at his enthusiasm, she parted her lips then flinched at the outburst of an answer. Teddy had a lot of energy, his body language didn't seem capable of lies, and he was undeniably adorable at this moment. She wondered where his insecurities lied exactly, Teddy was a bit unorthodox in his mannerisms and Jane herself wasn't quite sure what made him encapsulating as he was to her.
She's chuckle giving a soft grin, "Teddy is perfect." she'd speak lower to a whisper, knowing he could hear her with ease. These past few days have been different as she thought more about him, approaching him with new-found confidence like never before. She wanted to explore these feelings more, and nearly dying gave her the push she needed. Jane stood to her feet and moved closer towards Teddy, wondering how close she could get. Her heart would start to race as she reached a hand out to touch his chest, her gaze would move to meet his, "Let's meet up Friday after school, I'll take us somewhere nice." giving him a kinder smile. The nurse would re-enter, Jane would place her hands behind her back, giving a more innocent expression that wouldn't fool an adult like her.
The woman would roll her eyes before handing out a cream to Jane "No heavy lifting, or rigorous physical activity for a week. Here's a note for the gym teacher. If there's nothing else, then have a nice day." spoken with a bit of routine, but some effort to manners, she'd wave her hand off to the two. Jane would move out of the area into the hall, "Well, I have to go back to the gym. You can still jump around in the bounce house if you want, I just need your help in a couple of hours to put some of the things back into storage." just making conversation sort of, but it was hard to act like she didn't just make bold moves five minutes ago.
Her honesty would only go so far, Jane still felt like she was treading unknown waters. She could trust Teddy, with her life even, but still felt she didn't know that much about him. She's watched him for a while, made assumptions that were correct and very incorrect, but hasn't had many serious conversations with him. Jane wanted to know more about his existence, and worried if her subconscious had this idea of him that would shatter if she did find out. Or maybe the hormones were here to stay no matter what he did, though what was it that stood out about Teddy initially? Anyone could be kind and good-looking, most would probably be thrown off by his child-like communication style. Perhaps there was a perfect mixture to it all, the authenticity he presented itself that she couldn't ignore. His tail showed it often, Teddy wore his heart on his sleeve.

After the catastrophe that was her run in with Miss Blake, Alice marched across the campus towards Clayton hall with renewed vigour. Though her initial meeting with Alexandra Morgan was a little turbulent, there was no way it could be worse than the mess she just made. Hopefully...
Pulling out the charter again she double checked the details. Miss Morgan had a lacerated shoulder, that apparently wasn't healing properly. Oh dear, poor girl. It pained Alice to know that so many were suffering, but those she had known personally, even just in passing, hurt the most. It made her wish she could have prevented all this, but of course that was just foolish thinking. At least she had the chance to aid those afflicted, and help in anyway she could.
With this in mind she entered into the werewolf dorm and made her way to Miss Morgan's room. Pausing at the door, she took a calming breath before raising her hand to knock ever so lightly... No response. Just as with Trinity and others, she would probably have to just walk in. Reaching the handle she opened the door, and was unsurprisingly greeted by no one. Assuming Lexi was probably still in bed, possibly trying to sleep off the injury, she went over to the bedroom door, and knocked lightly again.
“Alexandra? Alexandra Morgan?” The girl questioned meekly as she opened the door and peered around. What she saw though caused her face to shine like a lighthouse. There wasn't one figure laid in the bed, but two. “OH! Oh dear!” Pulling the door half closed she backed up to shield herself with it. “I'm sorry! It-It's Alice, Alice Haven? I'm here to see to Miss Morgan's injury.” She hoped she wasn't interrupting anything too intimate, only having given herself the briefest glance she wasn't sure exactly what they were up to, or even who the other body was. “D-Do you want me to come back later?” The idea wasn't a pleasant one, after the upset with Trinity she wasn't keen on abandoning another patient.

Izzy's irritation faulted as soon as Luna's hand brushed against hers and the cute girl waved her hand over her head to help indicate that she was short. She broke into a slight chuckle at the adorableness, and the annoyance washed away completely to know that Luna was unharmed. “Heh, alright, alright.” With a light sigh through her smile, she let Luna begin to drag her off by the pinkie.
As soon as Luna turns from her though, the soft smile dipped. Maybe she shouldn't have done that. After all, what right did she have to speak out for Luna if she didn't want her too? Was that controlling? Izzy hoped she hadn't overstepped, this friendship, relationship, or whatever it was, was still too new for her to get a comfortable grasp on. The constant second guessing of herself was beginning to be exhausting, but at the same time, she couldn't see herself just standing by and doing nothing. Whether or not that was good or bad weighed on her more than she would like to admit.
With the intertwining of their fingers, Izzy could practically feel the tension in Luna. She wondered if the girl was okay and was about to ask as much, but the hand slipped from hers with a final squeeze as Luna stepped away to find a seat. Izzy watched her walk away from a moment, still perplexed on what she has gotten herself into. After making sure she was managing on her own, Izzy headed for the line.
Once she reached the front, she realised that Luna didn't actually tell her what she wanted. After humming and harring she finally just grabbed a bunch of random stuff, along with a couple of blood packs and paid up. Tray in hand she scanned the crowded room for the long white hair, spotting her face down on the table. 's**t, did that high hit her a bit hard?' Briskly walking over Izzy pipped up a few steps away. “You alright? I didn't know what you wanted, and since they didn't have elephant I just grabbed a bunch of crap.” She half joked, and placed the eclectic tray of food between them and sat down opposite.
Once sat down, Izzy didn't really know what to say. She supposed she should spark a conversation, and try to get to know the girl a bit better. There was some curiosities lurking in the back of her mind, but she was pretty certain that many of them were too personal for someone she just met. The key one being who the ******** was out to get her. The idea still boiled her blood but swiping it from the conversation list she tried to move on with something more casual. “So for future reference, what do you usually like?” She asked, picking up an oatmeal cookie from the side of the tray and taking a bite before pulling a face.
