Athena shrugged up at him, grinning toothily. "I'm techincally canine, remember? I sniff things. Does it bother you?" She almost hoped it did. She liked bothering people--especially if she got to do it while doing something that entertained her. Like messing with hair.
Still, she thought it was weird to see more white hair around here than black hair. "White's not uncommon in yokai, either. Actually, white is more common than black for inuyokai," she mused.

"... Is there a point to this conversation?" Ophi asked tentatively. "I don't recall." With Athena, it was probably pointless from the beginning. "Why are you here anyways? Were you sneaking around in Ialo's room again?"

Athena looked to one side and rolled to the balls of her feet momentarily before rolling back down. "Maaaaaybe," she answered. "But I'm here because... uh..." Well, she actually didn't know the answer to that. "Because I feel like it?"

Deciding it would benefit her more to leave now and come back later, Danni flicked her wrist, disappearing from the room. She appeared outside Cook's shack, at the grave that still stood in her honor. It had to be left there, since a majority of the school still believed her dead and gone.
Ialo's rules still applied to her, she thought stubbornly, sitting at the base of the tree. So she would not enter the shack, the cafeteria, the kitchens. She would follow the rules of her punishment, but everything else...she'd just consider it a free-for-all.
She out her hands to her lips, cupped them over her mouth, and let out three trilling bird whistles. A signal she'd come to visit.
In a minute, the shack door opened, and not only Cook, but Sly as well strode out, heading straight towards her. As they approached, she waved a wrist, and the air above her arms shimmered. In a moment, Poopsie appeared, still sleeping, and he dropped quietly into her arms, where she cradeled him absently in her lap.
"Well now, you've brought our spirit grandbaby." Cook settled down on the ground beside her, while Sly settled down in front of her.
"You've heard of the trouble that's come here?" She asked, keeping her voice quiet as Poopsie curled into her, his head resting on her breast as he sucked on his thumb in sleep.
"Yes, we've heard. I take it you're sticking your nose in?" Sly asked, and Danni smirked, though her eyes remained dark.
"Yes, I am. They've put my favorite beloved Dragon Boy in a cell. I wouldn't be worthy of much if I didn't help him now." She said, absently pushing a lock of Poopsie's hair out of his face.
Cook studied her for a long moment, held back a sigh. She had a look in her eye he'd seen too many times to count. "And what is it you need from us, baby girl?" He asked, and she smiled just a bit.
"I need you to look after my boy. I won't have him around the black magic, and that's what I need to use." She murmured, and Cook sighed.
"You know we'll look after him if it's what you want. But you, baby girl...You take care of my girl, whatever you're doing." He said, and she grinned, a quick flash.
"I'll try." She promised, and watched as Poopsie's eyes fluttered open, locked on her.
"Mama! Hi, Mama!" He said, and she grinned again.
"Hey, little man. You have a good nap?"

Alec was trying his hardest not to laugh outright at Ophi's predicament. It was incredibly hillarious to watch him get so unnerved by Athena's antics. She really was one of Alec's favorite students.
However, Alec had to comment about the machine gun comment he heard Ophi say. "Wait wait wait. Ialo actually had a machine gun in his office? I didn't think he could shoot straight."
Meanwhile, back in the office, Silas was cocking his head to the side as he stared flabbergasted at a set of documents that had been scrounged up from the verrrrrrrry bottom of Ialo's desk drawers. They were the school's income records. And what was surprising was the fact that for the past 5 years they had all been horribly in the red! Silas could barely believe what he was looking at, and could only voice his opinions on the subject. "...How in the flying HELL did that moron ever keep this place afloat? Did he seriously just POUR money into this place for no reason!?"

Athena smiled. "He had lots of guns! They were in his room, too." Then she almost blurted about the gloves she'd found... but she realized that Ophi would probably try to confiscate them if he knew. And she didn't want that. She wanted to find out about this fountain.
She needed to talk to someone about it, though. Maybe Danni, but maybe not--not that she didn't want to tell Danni, but that she wanted to be the one doing something awesome for once. She'd tell Lin... but Lin was... well, she didn't know where the elf was and she wasn't sure that telling Lin would be a good idea. She always seemed busy with something or another, and she was probably still depressed about what's-his-face's death. That teacher guy.
...Maybe she'd talk to Ophi about it. Or Alec, 'cause he was pretty awesome.

((I like how Athena seems to forget that she didn't want to tell Ophi.))
Ophiuchus just shook his head. "Again with his room, Athena. That's really rude, people have their own rooms for a reason." Thank goodness his personal lab was impossible to get into. And that it was fairly mundane - for him, at least.
"But yes - he had multiple machine guns, actually. Three, I believe, plus several handguns and natural the equipment that comes with them." He frowned slightly. "Given the nature of his work, is it really that much of a surprise? He's given me demonstrations and attempted to coach me on the use of a simple handgun, but I never really got into it like he did. He's actually quite a sharp shooter."

((I know, right? I didn't do it unintentionally, either. That's just Athena for you. ADHD.))
Athena pouted. "But Ialo never tells us the interesting stuff. And I like his shampoo--OH NO, IF HE'S GONE HOW WILL I STEAL HIS SHAMPOO?!" It was obvious what was important to her. Of course she actually did care for Ialo's life, but at the moment she didn't realize that it was in danger. She gave Ophi a very serious stare. "We need to get him back."

*Earlier that day*
Lin walked through the beautiful gardens after her last class for the day. She had the crystal orb that contained Ambrose's memories in her hands. She was walking carefully with it. She knew exactly where it should go.
When she saw the pond that she and Ambrose used to visit together, she smiled sadly and knelt down on the ground in front of it.
She rested one of her hands in the water and held it still until the water pixies came out. She smiled at them.
"Hello. I know that you understand me in some way. You are a part of nature and I am an elf. I just... I simply wanted to leave this crystal orb in your pond. I know you will protect it. It is very important and special. It contains someone's memories, someone who is very important to me. He came here with me a number of times. Please take very good care of this. It will not pollute your pond at all, I promise."
She felt a positive energy coming from the pond now, so she gently put the crystal orb in the pond. She also silently said goodbye to Ambrose, to those memories, as she released the orb. A tear fell down her cheek and into the pond.
She stood up from the ground. She brought up one of her wet hands, kissed her fingers, and then gestured down to the pond with her hand. After that, she walked back to the castle.
The pixies swam around the orb for a little bit and then started working their magic. The pond started to glow slightly for a few moments.
Then, a flower bent down into the pond, a little seed-type object was deposited in the bulb of the flower, and then the flower straightened back up.
Hours later, when the sun was setting, the flower began to sparkle. A figure started to bloom from the flower.
Eventually, it was a full figure. It was dressed in a floral dress. It pushed its hair back and, shockingly, it looked just like Lin Yin!
She smiled and began walking to the inside of the castle. She went to the cafeteria to get some food.

In the cafeteria, Ambrose was busy contemplating a plate of spaghetti. He wished, briefly, that Danni's strange friend Athena was here. He always got a kick out of watching her eat spaghetti.
When Lin walked in, his ears perked up, and he turned, spotting her. His smile came naturally, and he felt just a bit of pressure on his heart, but ignored it.
"Miss Yin! Miss Yin, would you like some company while you eat?" He asked, pleased to see her.

Lin looked over at Ambrose and smiled brightly. "Yes I would, Ambrose! Thank you very much. I simply have to go get my food quickly."
She went through the line with a tray, got a grilled chicken salad, an orange, and milk, and then went and sat down at a table, Ambrose joining her.
"I am famished."

Cuwen {{Aww! I love your post!}} Lin gasped and arched her back in reflex when she felt something brush against her leg. She finally looked down. Why not? She wanted to become intimate with Dymetri, and she loved to learn, so she should learn all she could about becoming physical with someone. She gasped when she saw what brushed against her leg. Sure, as a healer, she knew about physical anatomy, but that looked nothing like what had been in the pictures! It was too big and... well, it looked completely different! Not in a bad way, but still different. "What... What is that? I mean, I know what it is, I th--think. But if that is... is what is used for... for procreation from a male's role... I am.. nervous. It is quite large..." {{LOL!}}

Cuwen {{And no, I didn't think the sex started already. I was thinking they were still doing foreplay. You know, getting ready. I wasn't planning on doing the actual sex scene part. Is that ok? I'm thinking this is just leading up to it b/c I had wanted Lin to say some things and ask questions, an example being what she just asked. XD}}
