The problem with Chuppi's true form was her weight and her quills, the same problem that had plagued her in the human!form that she wore thanks to the school and its rules. She wriggled herself the best she could to get free, the weight of her body having rammed her down quite deep, but it was only through the use of her tail that she managed to free herself and slowly get upright once more. Her face stung, not unlike the time she stuck her snout into a beehive in curiosity, and the little Chupacabra rubbed at her face with her claws in an effort to alleviate some of the pain. It didn't really help.
Staggering around as she looked between the blood and sand that stung at her eyes Chuppi heard rather than actually saw the little creature that had attacked her, his voice so weak, and she followed that sound over to his body. He looked pathetic, so torn and tortured, that Chuppi felt bad for having defended herself against him. With a squat (she couldn't kneel in this form) she bent down and reached out, gathering the small body into her arms.
"Lo siento. You will be okay, I will make sure you are okay."

The first thing that flashed through Elaphe's mind when he registered her approaching form was something along the lines of AAAAAAAAAH NOOOO I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIIIIIIE, but by then, he didn't even have the energy to convey a sliver of that point, and the only comment that burbled out of him was a slurring hiss-groan-snarfle far from anything coherent. She was picking him in those big deadly claws, up, and all he could do was sort of twitch and squirm like a helpless pup. He didn't want to be eaten! He--
... Wait what had she just said?
"... Huuuuuuhngh?" The next noise he made sounded vaguely question-like, TRYING to look at her, to make some sense of why she'd 'make sure he was okay' when she'd just tried to EAT HIM AND HIS DAMN PONY (... or so his mind concluded)...
Lapid watched the whole exchange with a very pensive tension, but seemed to finally reason that, no, there WASN'T probably a bloody feast imminent, and cautiously stepped away from the shore to nudge at Nosi's body. With a few ginger prods by her face, the Kirinni seemed to stir a little, bleeting in confusion before she just sort of picked her head up, looked around, clearly not understanding what had just happened. Perhaps the pebbles made her sleepy?

"You will be okay. I can take you to see the nurse, and she can fix you up. But first I will clean up what I can, okay? Don't struggle too hard or I may hurt you more. On accident."
The Chupacabra raised the young creature in her hands up towards her face, red eyes looking him over for serious damage, before her tongue snaked out of her mouth again and ran alongside one of his larger cuts. Chuppi had managed to scratch him a bit when clawing at him to get off her face, so the wounds must have been sharp and painful. The little monster knew that spit helped clean some wounds, or so her family always licked at their own in an effort to help clean them, so maybe if she licked at this little one then she could help him.
Her tongue ran over several of his wounds as she turned him here and there, a sound that could have been mistaken for a purr rumbling from within her chest. The little monster didn't taste so bad that Chuppi wanted to spit it all out, but he wasn't tasty enough that she wanted to eat him; also she completely ignored his pets until she was sure she'd gotten some of the bleeding to stop.
"There we go, that should help. Como estas - how are you feeling?"

Oh, on accident his AAAAAGH WHAT WAS SHE DOING WHY WAS SHE LICKING HIM ALL OF A SUDDEN!?
By the time everything clicked in Elaphe's brain, it was already too late, and he found himself in the thick of what was quite possibly THE most awkward bath he'd ever suffered. Sure, his mother had groomed him like that when he was young, and he smoothed his coat out every day the same way but... b-but this wasn't him or his mother at all; it was some girl who'd just tried to eat him and he didn't even know her and oh Jack her tongue felt SO WEIRD AND SHE SMELLED FUNNY AND SHE COULD STILL POSSIBLY EAT HIM AT ANY MOMENT.
By the time she was finished (and his vision had cleared just enough), he found himself feeling not only miserable and achey all over, but covered in a layer of vaguely bloody scented foreign spit, and what on earth was she asking now?
"..." At first, he just tried to leer at her, but when that didn't work and he practically went cross-eyed with the effort, he just... sighed this miserable sigh of resignation and slumped in her grasp all the more.
"... Mm'fine..." What had that been, little boy? And could he have looked any more hilariously flustered or pathetic? "J-just... don't eat my animals, or next time, I... won't let you off so easy..."
Uuuuh, yeah, said the one who was currently his 'victim's' proverbial toy. "Ther' not... your stupid snacks..."

"I do not eat the pets of people who are my friends, though in your case I will not eat them because you have asked. I am sorry I tried, but when I get hungry I don't think straight and my stomach takes over. I'm sorry again for hurting you, do you really feel better?"
Chuppi leaned and placed the little creature back onto the sand of the lake shore, her movements as slow and gentle as possible. She knew he was hurt and she didn't want to make it any worse though the ache on her head was preventing her from being as graceful as she wanted to be. It was just a shame that she couldn't lick her own head, her tongue seemed to make things better; at least she thought so because of what this student had said to her about feeling okay.
"Do you want me to carry you to the doctor? I do not know how big you will be once we get back to the school. We will change you know, and then I may not be bigger than you anymore."
That thought....actually made her a little nervous. What if when they changed and he was bigger he would be mean and get revenge? She couldn't see so well, it would be so easy for him.

Hearing her 'reasoning' behind the whole ordeal failed to make Elaphe feel any better, suddenly back on solid ground again and finding that he could barely keep himself upright. His legs were all splayed out in strange directions as if it would somehow keep him propped upright longer, tail dragging by the knuckles, sail flapped over pathetically to one side at twitching half-mast... Hell, he was even holding his head a little sideways, and he wondered why his vision seemed all tilt-y.
"... 'Said mm'fine!" he growl stubbornly, however, still trying ever so valiantly to stay up on his own steam. Sure, he was wet, sticky, and wobbling, but he'd be damned if he wound up humiliated any further! "Just... dorm now... hngh..."
If only she hadn't incapacitated his usual small-body transportation, because Nosi was still too clumsy to stay up without leaning on Lapid for support, and the Scareon could barely support HER weight, let alone Elaphe's... which meant that he was on his own to take a very awkward step, then another, sheer force of WILL (and of course, stubbornness) driving him to try and stumble off in the direction he vaguely remembered coming from.
If nothing else, the fight had been squashed out of him, which was always good-- right?

"So I see."
At the pace her new friend (everyone was Chuppi's friend after a while) was moving she knew he would likely pass out before he reached the dorms, so the Chupacabra took it upon herself to help him get there. Gathering up the shreds of her clothes (and her SC pin - that was important) she swooped down with her mouth and lightly grabbed the scruff of neck of her companion, lifting him into the air. She would carry him as far as she could until he changed back, in which case she'd get dressed. . . .somehow, and then carry him the rest of the way if his other-form was wounded badly too. It was all her fault, she would have to make up for it somehow.
The Chupacabra had managed to get her skull pin as well in the process and held it close against her clothing as she started long hops back towards the dorm, uncaring that she was leaving things behind like some of her pants and her companion's pets. They looked smart enough to be able to find their way back to him somehow anyway so she didn't worry - her only concern was getting her companion back somehow.
Chuppi stopped short of the dorms, the spot she knew the freezone would end at, and lowered her burden to the ground. She took a deep breath and exhaled, the scent of sulfur and blood pouring from her mouth in a cloud, before she looked down at him.
"One more stop, we change. You okay still?"

H-hey-- hey, wait a second! His window was the other way!
In retrospect, Elaphe would surely be kicking himself for not having spoken up immediately beyond a squawk of surprise, but there was just SOMETHING about being hauled by the scruff which sort of... quieted him for the ride. That and he was still secretly terrified of being eaten on a moment's notice which, being paired with dangling from the jaws of a sulfurous smelling monster, could easily shut any small prey item up in short order.
Nosi gleefully tottered along at the rear of the group with Lapid's quiet support, albeit in a very drunken failure of a prancing motion. She looked l little like a sparkling, crippled giraffe, or maybe an intoxicated pony-- but she was making it! ... Which was more than could be said for her dearly dripping and miserable Master.
... Really, though, if they'd just gone out to his back way to begin with, there wouldn't be a need to cross the stupid 'transformation' grounds at all! But sadly, that was beyond helping as he was promptly lowered to the ground, yet again staggering to his feet.
"I keep saying..." he huffed and puffed and panted valiantly, "I'M FINE! J-JUST FINE!" The next step, of course, was what instantly triggered his skull pin to materialize around one wrist and turn him back-- suddenly on very human hands and knees...
... And now with slightly-bloody slobber-soaked clothing to cling to his skin. Ewww.
Needless to say, watching him stagger up on two legs was a hilarious sight to be hold, especially with all the squishy shlorping sounds his jacket made with every motion.
He kind of hated life right then.
... Like, a lot.
"A-and just why are you still following me?!" was the first thing that came to mind as far as screeching at her went, whipping around... having completely forgotten the whole clothing-ripping thing from the lake-side.

When the other has staggered forward, so had Chuppi. When the other had shifted - so had Chuppi, right into a naked form. The only clothing she held was the shreds that rested in her arms, just barely covering her short torso. The skull pin had found its way back into her hair - she had hair now! - and overall she swayed as the loss of her tail so suddenly had interrupted her balance. Thankfully she did not fall over or else everything would have dropped from her arms, though the wounds to her face visibly showed in this form. She looked as though someone had scratched her up pretty good, and Chuppi winced against the feeling as though her skin was thinner.
"Me duele. I feel like my face is going to burn into fire. Am I all cut up?"
Just as her companion had not noticed or remembered the nakedness, neither had Chuppi. Clothing was so secondary to her that she hadn't bothered getting hers enchanted like he had. Perhaps she had better look into it though as a small breeze rushed by, causing the little monster to shiver. She looked down at the shreds in her arms and then up at him (he was taller, nooo!), a look of confusion and worry amongst the scratches.
"I...need clothing too. I am following you to make sure you are okay though, I hurt you badly. I worry."

The second he looked back at her he regretted it, immediately smacking his third palm to his face to hide the look of horrified vexation... only to regret THAT too a moment too late when he heard the gooey squish and realized he'd just managed to splatter more saliva on his face. God, would that bloody sulfur smell ever leave him? Or for that matter, the choked befuddlement over what he'd just sort of seen?
... No, really, it had to be the school's humanoid shifting spell effecting his morality somehow. Monsters were (almost) always so nice and androgynous and neatly packaged AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS FLAPPING AROUND THAT BEGGED FOR COVERING.
"Y--" He cleared his throat there, face wrinkled up in a frown that implied he'd just french kissed a lemon, and eyes discretely cast to the side. "You are, yeah. D-deal with it-- a-and stop that! I'm fine! Candlejacking FINE!"
Nevermind that he sort of wavered right there to 'prove' his point, but he FORCED himself to stay upright as he just tottered right back around, making a beeline towards the gaping entryway of what HAD to be the monster dorms, with both (now smaller than him) pets on his heels. Sure, his pace wasn't exactly blistering, but he could hope and wish he'd lose her all the same.
... As if it would work.
Geez, what were the other monsters even going to THINK when he limped in, all bloody and sticky and with a mostly naked Chupacabra trailing him around like some spiny damn puppy?
He just hoped and prayed she'd turn back into that OTHER form (... even if it WAS more terrifying) when they entered the building, because he had enough of an image problem pending already.

Thankfully for her companion Chuppi did shift once more as they entered the Monster dorms, the Chupacabra having so easily kept pace with the taller student. Even in her natural form his human!form was still bigger than she was and the monster kept pace with him still, her small body looking so adorable to any student who happened to watch the pair pass. A few monsters waved, knowing Chuppi to be the friendly VP of the school, though some snickered at either her or her companion's expense.
"My dorm, it's over there. I can't reach the knob in this form, with my hands full. Please to be helping me? Then maybe I will leave you alone."
'Maybe' was a strong word to use, but Chuppi needed his help now as she'd sort of helped him.
