Lin nodded and looked down at the ground. They were still in the hallway, so she was looking at marble flooring. She didn't really know what to say at all. She wasn't familiar with anything Ambrose had said, so she couldn't offer advice or anything.
But... but maybe he just needed someone to listen to him. Maybe he just needed someone to lean on and not to try and give him advice.
Lin looked back up at Ambrose and then wrapped her arms around him again in a hug.
"I'm so sorry, Ambrose."

Gia looked down at Milo with affection, patting him on the top of his purple and pink head. "Milo? This little guy's a winged pigmoo. They're cute little things, found in Canada if you know where to look. Not all of them are born with wings, but all of them have cow tails, pig snouts, and bright, vibrant colors. They're really very interesting, all in all." She said, smiling as she spoke. Creatures never failed to fascinate her.
________________________________________________
"No, don't be sorry. We got her back, you see...We got my baby girl back, and she's still not herself. She doesn't understand, can't...comprehend what's happened because they have her under some sort of midn control, stopping ehr from remembering anything. But she's back, she's home, she's safe...Or she should be." He realized abruptly that they were still out in the hall, and turned a bit.
"I'm sorry, would you like to come in? It's kind of pointless to stand out in the hall." He said, blinking himself back into focus.

Lin was a little dazed now. Ambrose got back his sister, in a way, but Lin still had to be without Dymetri? Why wasn't Dymetri good enough to bring back? Why wasn't...
She squeezed her eyes shut tightly and shook her head, not caring how it looked. She had to stop that. She couldn't keep jumping at any mention of bringing the dead back. She had to move on or she would be right back where she was a few days ago.
She slowly opened her eyes and then smiled weakly up at Ambrose. She nodded and walked past him into his room.

Ambrose led her inside, and realized something. She must be finding this so completely unfair. And, looking in her eyes, he knew.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think that you...you lost someone too, Lin. And you loved him, a whole lot. It was in your eyes. If he made you happy, I won't say another word about that." He said, his tone soft.

Lin's eyes widened at Ambrose. "What... Uh, how did you know all of that?" Did someone tell Ambrose all about what happened, that she was bringing back someone she had loved? She had only told Ambrose that she cared about the person she tried to bring back. He said it was in her eyes, but... seriously, did someone talk to him while she was gone? She sighed and went over to stand in the middle of his room. It didn't really matter who told him. "Ambrose, I really am happy that your sister's soul was brought back. Don't ever think that my feelings about her would have me wish her dead. I would not wish that on anyone. So, yes, I am happy she has been brought back, however much she does not remember right now. Just give it time." She was looking at the distant wall in Ambrose's room, trying to stay positive and strong for him. He needed her right now, and it would help no one if she lingered on the fact that one person was brought back while Dymetri remained dead. {{Ok, this scene in The Office really makes me think of Ambrose and Lin. It didn't before, but now after like the fifth time watching it, it just hit me that it's so much like them! I hope you all watch it, or at least Mitsuki does. lol. Just skip to minute 24 to watch. So heartbreaking! You don't need to know a lot of history other than that Pam and Jim are like best friends and are perfect for each other. The Office, move to 24 minute mark}}

"A pig... moo?" he asked with a completely confused look on his face. Although, he was relatively sure that if he told her that they were surrounded by dead people she'd give him a similar look. "Never been to Canada..." he said, absently scratching under his chin. He hadn't shaved for a few days so there was a fair amount of stubble built up. He hadn't really been to to many places at all really, just LA and New York and where the school was... he didn't really remember the trip from LA to NY at all.
"Suppose I would've learned about them if I'd taken magical creatures class more than once," he added, tapping the top of the scythe against the wall. He wasn't really doing it absently, he was looking for an old short cut one of the souls had told him about. When you were alone all the time you tended to talk to whoever you could manage to get to talk to you.... Most interaction he got with most people was people asking him to bring their pets back to life.
If one more freaking person asked him to bring back their dead goldfish he was going to go cut his own head off. There was a loud echoing clang as he struck one of the rocks, and he flinched as the sound was made. "Ow," he said, putting his little finger in his ear, trying to make the ringing stop. He pushed the 'rock' in, the passageway sliding open. "This one comes out about halfway between your class and the Headmaster's office I think," he said, almost like he was talking to himself and not her.

Silver salvation Koy's eye twitched as her spun her around, "he's higher then a kite in a hurricane." She could only wonder what he was drugged up on, but for now that didn't matter she was snuggled up to Ialo! The guy She liked (not kai) for five years. Ialo spun around a few more times before suddenly stopping, and setting Koy back down on her feet. He wasn't dizzy in the slightest. Ialo looked up at Riser and spoke serenely, as if he had the most profound thing to say in the history of the world. "I'm going to go to California." Yes, that was his new goal. Danni was in California, and Satan had found her. So, he would be there too, and they would fight... She was like a daughter to Ialo. He would follow her, and make sure she came home all in one piece. "Right now." His eyes glowed, still red, and he vanished.

Athena gaped like a fish for a few moments before rounding onto the others in the immediate area. "Where the hell is Califo--oh wait, US--who the hell can get me to California to make sure they don't kill themselves?" she demanded. She was Swedish, technically, which explained her initial lack of knowledge as to where California lay.

She blinked and well on her Back as Ialo disappeared in a flash. "Ow that was not a sensual as I thought it was going to be."
"Perverted angel ... what are the odds?" Kai's voice rang in her ears.
"Shut up Kai." She grumbled and got up

Athena almost pounced on Koy. "Can you teleport?" she demanded.

((Megavid link not working, Laura.))
Ambrose merely leaned against the wall, his hand sliding into his pockets. "You don't have to smile if you don't want to, you know. It just makes your heart hurt more. I know you loved him because I watched you. And while I watched you, I saw you get the love-glow going on. And now that's gone, and the grief is there. You're strong, Lin, but it's all right to be fragile sometimes too. I'm always here if you need a shoulder, or just an ear." He shrugged, though it cost him.

"Careful," Gia warned when her guide banged his scythe. "If you want to know more about magical creatures, like Milo here, you should join my class. In case you couldn't tell, I'm a bit lacking in students at the moment." She said, then smiled gratefully when he revealed the passageway.
"Oh, you're a dear," She said, and Milo let out a sound of agreement, fluttering his wings.

Danni pushed herself up on her elbows, spitting out a mouth full of blood. She was lucky the attack had grazed her instead of hitting her head on. It had been an hour since she's begun her battle with Satan. Since she'd surprised him with her sudden attack, they'd been mostly circling each other, daring one another to make a move. He'd always liked to play, she remembered. But she'd be damned if she'd be any sort of prey.

{{Really? It works for me and Lizz... Can you watch megavideos at all? If you can, I can try to PM you the link directly.}}
Lin closed her eyes and shook her head slowly. "Please Ambrose... I can't... I can't talk about it right now, not yet."

Just then, something very big, winged, blue, and scaly dropped down from the sky. It landed protectively beside Danni, shielding her with wings that were easily twenty feet long - and stirred up a massive cloud of dust as it landed.
'Heyyyy, Danni!' It was Ialo, come to give her a hand - claw, maybe a tail - in battle. In his dragon form, there were few physical signs of any influence of drugs. 'I should give you detention for cutting class.'

((Nah, they're not working at all. Crud monkey.))
"Oh...s**t." Danni shot to her feet, immediately running in front of the huge dragon, pushing futiley at his chest.
"No! You have to get out of here, now! Damn it, what the hell are you on, coming out here like this?" She demanded, and used one hand to sweep her arm out behind her, putting up a quick shield when she felt the burst of energy behind her that hit up against the hasty shield.
______________________________________________
Ambrose merely nodded. "All right." He said softly, simply, not asking for more.
