Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dating or not, Israfel thought it was a good match. Happiness was fleeting, and fast these days. "Still Shehk, enjoy it. Chance at love, or even just close companionship is good. Helps with-" He grasper at the word. "I can't say flock because is not what I mean. There is not a good word for it unless you speak avian. Its the sense of belonging, mixed with a love that is not bound by appearance or sexuality. Its is a much more.. natural thing." A slump of his shoulders. There wasn't a way he could describe it really, other than it was good.

"Malodore might see sharing it's FEAR as a very... private and intimate thing. But it seems likely that it would pursue any change to find a cure. Science is science after all." A finger tapped against his drink. "Nox would be a good start, but, he's always been one to demand a trade of sorts. Even without mentoring, I doubt he would give up what he knows freely. A bargain of some sort. As for our Riley...."


He drank the last, crushing the can before setting it down. "Malodore and she were engaged. There were many witnesses to this. Unless is the Illithids come to claim her under paternal rights, Malodore would have a case for being the next of kin. She was also an adult by her race's standards I think? So.." A shrug. "Malodore would have to file a claim of sorts, and soon. If not, this might be another thing to speak with Nox with. He has no love for the boogeymen, but again, every favor comes with a price, and stealing the heavy stone remains of our Riley will be not only dangerous but possibly inviting backlash against the school. If worst comes to worse we cannot endanger others who are not tied to us. So as stands...." He pointed to Shehk. "You will speak to Malodore?" A finger at Sammy, "And you shall speak to Nox?" He pointed to himself. "I can try one of the horsemen, or, a boogeyman. While perhaps not the most helpful, they could provide us with insight to the situations."

"All this talk about dating and love... I should go find Siddie again after this. She's been a bit off since the whole insanity thing..." She felt a twinge of guilt, knowing she wasn't with Siddie at this moment trying to help her, but something about Israfel calling the three of them together like this dragged her away and thus far it seemed worth it.

"Actually Nox was fairly open and forward. He didn't request anything for the last meeting. Unless Riley and Jericho paid a price earlier to get said meeting started." Slowly she pushed herself up standing to dust the dirt and grass off her cargo pants. "Finding him shouldn't be hard. Cause enough trouble looking, or linger around his training course I'm bound to find him sooner then later."

She turned towards Shehk nodding, "You know how to reach me if you need more help. So does the doc." Her fingers moved without thought pressing gently to the doctors pin, tagged along right behind Shehk's on her collar before letting her hand drop.
