Dusting himself off, Sharra plucked a long feather from his shoulder, the plumage embedded there from his confinement in the strix's wings. "You're shedding, mate..." He was rather hoping that the owl boil was right, and that they would be able to consider this a victory. Thoughts traipsing back to what Yaya had mentioned to him hurriedly not a minute before, the Nergal curled an arm 'round the djinn's shoulders protectively. "What did you say...? You're not...still under attack somehow, are you...?" His fingers flitted to brush over hers, as though to check for a physical manifestation of that backlash.
The attack had, at the very least, given him ample reason to sit on the leaning tower of guilt and confusion that was building up beneath him. He didn't have to think about it just now. Hadiyya's very presence was soothing, and he remembered that it had always been so. He the protector, she his strength.
He needed to work on that first part.
"You doin' all right over there, cowboil?" A bit of a jaunty salute to Mot, though he wouldn't disturb the fellow, as he was currently engrossed in tending to the wounded.
Hey! At least someone was taking care of the foxfire.

"Dying.. I've done that before, it was not enjoyable at all," she mused aloud at Shun, tilting her head so that her bells rang. "Shun, I was once terse because I did not know how to feel anything... do you feel nothing, or is there another reason you are so curt?" Amarus asked him, training her eyes on the one-eyed Reaper, head tilted. She was smiling at him; it was clearly the fact she was so drugged up by now that was just letting her blurt things out.
Oh, hooray.
"I am glad you will be fine, though," she said, equally sounding sincerely relieved as she leaned back again to relax, riding out a wave of pain, shuddering through it as she slipped into unconsciousness for a moment again.
Only to be jarred back into consciousness when she inadvertantly opened her mouth into a fluffy owl chest. "Muka," she tried to greet him, coughing out some feathery bits. "This is a lot closer than I imagined I would be to you!" she said, turning her face so that she could speak clearly.
It's not like she needed to breathe, after all. She was pretty happy to be cuddled, though, and she wrapped her tired arms around him in a friendly way. "Sometimes, Muka, I am very glad to see you. Sometimes? All the time," she ammended, with a grin. The Lotus Eater was barely coherent, and her eyes had a glazed, soft look to it. The glow of her aura was dim against her skin, but it had a pink sheen to it, as though she was some kind of otherworldly feverish.
She was distracted, and she equally did not expect Mot's hand to be so very close to her, which made the smile drop away, as she stared at it like it was going to bite her. She shut her eyes, brows furrowed, and felt the healing wash through her. It was small, sure, but when she was so close to the brink of full unconsciousness, it made all the difference.
She paused, for a moment, and then tilted her face up to look at him. "My hero," she teased, gently, before looking back at her wounds, marvelling at the ones he'd helped. "I do, though, I feel better now; thank you, Mot..."
Amarus licked a drop of her essence off of one finger where it was dripping down, smiling again as the mental relief masked whatever pain she had been feeling as it had begun to ebb back.

Aware of Muka's strength, Yaya could do little but hold onto the nergal's hand until the owl boil freed his comrades from his wings. Once he had though, the djinn closed that small distance between herself and her boil, fingers curling tighter around his. While most everyone else seemed content to believe they had won, Hadiyya remained unconvinced, and that worry was obvious in the set of dark lips, and the tension still singing through her limbs.
"Something's targeting my magic. When I was healing the others, something lashed out at me," she repeated, still searching around the school gates as if expecting some hidden foe to show themselves. "I don't think whatever this was is over. I think if anything, we've won ourselves a tiny reprieve."
Of course now that they were allotted a small break from the fighting, the chill of the evening was creeping back around them, reminding Yaya that she'd fled from her room in nothing but the light nightclothes she'd been sleeping in. She shivered, huddling beside Sharra ina bid to share a bit of his warmth.

"Death happens to us. Unpleasant, but natural," The Reaper shrugged. Though, he soon stared at the girl as she asked somewhat of a strange question.
"I have emotions, though I suppose they are more muted compared to others," he stated, "I don't really question the reason why I am who I am. If things were different, I would be as well."
And he didn't really have any strong issues against his nature. As he watched Amarus, he frowned as she wasn't really doing all too well, though he soon grimaced as he felt a light smack to his back from Muka. Slowly, he just turned and gave the owl a rather flat expression. He only turned his attention back towards Mot and Amarus when he managed to bring her from being so out of it.
"Looks like you, too, are capable of healing then," he mused towards the cowboy.
"Oh..!" Selene looked absolutely thrilled as she scuttled out from her hiding place. "You're all.. so.. so...!!" Tears filled her eyes, and she scurried towards the group of students, reaching out to give them hugs and heals.
"I'm so proud of you all!"

Olivia could feel the faint hint of what would normally be considered a blush reach her cheeks from Amarus' words to her, oh," she flustered, "perhaps I was just repaying the favor," she smiled still unsure of what to say. "And I always like making sure my friends are okay," even if they were merely future friends like the rest of them were slated up to be already... without their consent.
It was at least a better topic to think about than death. Something that had already occurred in her life sometime ago or something, not that she could remember it in the least. Thankfully, the idea didn't stick to long to mull over when she felt her body sway from a pressure. The ghoul turned to see Muka, and hear him as well, turning those unpleasant thoughts away. Olivia smiled widely at the owl.
Then turned to Miss Selene, "oh! You're alright as well, I'm glad!" She had not seen the snakey professor through the course of their battle. Though she didn't take the offered heal - she was sure others needed it more than her - she wanted a nice hug.

Walking up to the gates slowly, Marosa caressed his sporran that held Muirin's picture inside for a brief moment, then leaned on the staff a little more. His wings flittered in protest, but he ignored them and kept walking on, finally reaching the gates in good time.
He spotted Sharra with another female, feeling a bit put out, but he forced that thought away. Was this the Yaya he spoke of before?
Walking up to them, Marosa leaned on his staff as he fought a grimace off of his face, trying instead to smile. "... 'ey."

He found Muka somewhere in the midst of an enormous group of people, the strix clearly in a very pleasant mood.
"Hey," said Sparrow as he made his way up to the boil, lifting one gloved hand in greeting and leaning on his scythe, black shadows curling absently around his ankles. "You all right? Everyone all right?"

Amarus' suggestion seemed quite good as she wandered over and the two just sort of slumped against each other. The boss was dead, no one had died in the process and... well aside from the fact he thought he was going to fall over out cold any moment it wasn't too bad.
He didn't quite hurt as much as he had when he'd fought the thing in his room?
His eyes shifted to Olivia as she wandered over, nodding briefly. "Just a bit banged up." He didn't want to come off a whining, but really if he could go take a nap in what was left of his room he'd be quite happy for the time being. However, no such luck. As the djinn ghoul was healing others, including himself, he noticed something was lashing out at her. He did offer her a look a thanks, despite reprimanding her earlier. She'd taken it upon herself to figure out who needed what. That was the important part. His entire point. Forgiveness when someone took it upon themselves to work hard was to be given. As well, despite some failings, she was doing it despite danger to herself. You couldn't fault her.
It seemed some of the other students inclined to healing as he was were working on patching the group up as they spoke and happily took up a bit of a 'pleased mood' over the seemingly small victory against the dark being. He, was less thrilled. Something was still there. A look was given to Mar and Olivia as they were nearby, even if the ghoul was being a bit crushed in a hug. "So there's more..." He stated quietly and slowly. The demon let out a small sigh, somewhat better now, and Amarus had also been a bit patched up. At least he felt as if he could stand. So up he went, ignoring the nice bright red patches on his white jacket. That was ruined too. Honestly, asking if he was bleeding when it should be obvious was, well, silly. Still, he had an example to set.
Responsible big brother was going to be responsible. Seeing as both Olivia and Etzer were here. Though Olivia seemed to be faring well enough despite a multitude of attacks, he didn't enjoy seeing her turned into a brick wall to take hits. "Olivia. You should really be careful." Coming from someone who couldn't stand a second ago, who knew how much she'd take heed of the advice.
That said, he started over to uh... discuss things with his brother. Mainly that odd comment. Kissing a guy? What was Etzer dreaming about now? Though he didn't quite make it as the teacher happily took to hugging them, and... bit him in the process. Wait. Wait... first off he wanted less hugging and second. "Oh. You're the one who keeps biting me?" Because he suddenly felt better and this was NOT the first time. Something of an awkward look before he shied off a bit back to what he was doing. Right. Ok. Weird teacher. That was all.
Moving on and not thinking about it. He managed to get to his original goal and tilted his head a bit at his younger sibling, flicking an ear down. They'd been interrupted with... giant angry shadows, but... "Etzer, why are you dreaming ridiculous things now?" His voice was low too, not wanting to make it public his brother seemed to be losing it. "Really, that sounds on pare with dreaming about floating objects, stairs, windows, and the world falling apart after reaching for something." Because he'd had a peculiar dream too. "If you're worried about it, I've been avoiding people who stalk me in such a manner." Was added as he crossed his arms obviously not that impressed. Tsk. Then a quick glance at his brother who, seemed unhurt. That was good. "Do watch out though, apparently... there are still things."

Noting the chill, the demon dutifully wrapped the djinn closer to his body, frowning as he took full stock of the attire she was sporting. Excellent for the bedroom, less the great outdoors. Pressing a kiss into dark hair, Sharra sighed in regretful agreement. "So it seems. I'll take the repriever whilst we have it. It didn't hurt you too badly...?" Brows furrowed as the blond's gloveless fingers curled into a fist, as though prepping himself for another round of combat. He had to be here this tiime. The first time he'd been able to stand next to her whilst in battle.
Sharra simply wasn't allowed to fail again.
Speaking of rash decisions and a list of things he'd failed at recently...
The Nergal's chest tightened as the fey boil approached. This wasn't at all how he'd wanted this long overdue introduction to play out. Ah well, better late than not at all. "Marosa..." The name fell fondly from his lips, and he gestured for the Gancanagh to join them fully. "Marosa this is my ghoulfriend, Hadiyya." His gaze flicked between the two. "And Yaya this is Marosa. The best comrade a guy could wish for!" That seemed enthusiastic and benign enough. This wasn't at all the time for an emotion-fraught sit-down and reminisce.
Taking a step from the djinn's side, but not releasing her, arm still loosely coiled round the ghoul, he looked the smaller boil in the eyes, as though to preemptively fathom the honesty of his answer. "Are you all right?" He'd likely had to spar a bit with the little beasties.

Mot chuckled at Sharra's concern, nodding softly. "Yes I am well, thank you..?" Shoot, he didn't know his name! He'd never met this boil. "Um, I am Mot. What is your name?" He smiled, offering a hand to shake.
Amarus was soon on the receiving end of his attention again, patting the ghoul on the head. "Haha Hero, huh? You are most welcome, little lady. I'm so glad to have helped."
The reaper stood once more, giving Shun a happy grin. "Healing, huh? Gosh, that makes me feel.. useful!" Mot hated to fight, so if he could heal, then...
"Maybe instead of a run of the mill Boogeymen I could perhaps aspire to be a field medic." He laughed lightly.
Upon hearing a vaguely familiar name, Shun looked up to see another ice demon among their ranks. This one, though, he recognized. If he recalled correctly, there was a version of this guy wandering around the red kingdom. He also recalled something Xiu said regarding him. For a few moments, his gaze remained on Etzer, as he eyed him a little critically.
It wasn't until he heard Mot that his attention shifted.
"There's always a need for those who can heal, along with those who can fight. I'm certain the Boogeymen need healers within their ranks as well," he said.
He still wasn't thrilled at the idea of a friend becoming a boogey, but once again, he wasn't going to try and stop him.

Hadiyya snuggled in close to the nergal's side, grateful for the warmth, and the comfort. So often she was left to fend for herself on such adventures, usually having been separated from those she cared for. And with him having been gone for so very long.. Having him there, by her side, meant a great deal. "Nothing lasting," she assured. The gentle press of lips against her head eased a little of the tension that refused to leave her, and she offered him a shadow of her usual benign smile before another student joined their midst, and appeared to greet the nergal and herself.
A creature of fae, that much was obvious, but beyond that Hadiyya knew nothing of him. Sharra confirmed her assumption that the two boils had to know each other, and she glanced between the two, skin pinching slightly between brows as she noted the expression on the fae-boil's features, as well as the tone with which is name had fallen from her boilfriend's mouth.
The questioning look lasted only a second though as Sharra introduced them, and she offered the winged figure a gentle smile. "Good to meet you," she offered, though kept her arms folded around herself. It was still quite chilly out, and Sharra moving a little away from her didn't help any. She looked up at him, curiously, a delicate from playing on full lips.
He was acting a touch peculiar.

Death didn't mean as much to Amarus in practice as it might to some, it was more the notion that she had already died in some life of hers. Well, that was one possibility; either way, she was essentially a spirit now, so what was there to be done?"So long as you have them, that is what counts, doesn't it?" Amarus suggested, not particularly looking for an answer, but clearly satisfied with what Shun had replied.
Although Mot had stabilized her, she was still in no position to stand to even hug Selene. She was grateful that Molan and Shun received her affection, however, as it seemed like it repaired some of their pain.
From where Amarus sat, now cross-legged since Molan was alright, she waved at Sparrow; she had a sleepy smile on her face, and as she yawned, her bells rang. "Hello, Sparrow," she greeted him, tilting her head slowly.
Normally, she might have taken offense to being patted on the head, but as she was currently quite high and still in a lot of pain, Amarus just dismissed it. Well, that had goen better than she might have imagined. Not that it would go any better when she wasn't high, really. She avoided situations that made her uncomfortable.
At some point or another, when the others were preoccupied, it seemed that Amarus had sort of fallen backwards and collapsed out of her cross-legged state. She shut her eyes and lay there, hands clasped, legs out straight. She wasn't unconscious, she was just meditating; it was making her feel better.
