Chrissy glanced over as Zack settled against the wall nearby as she cooked, frowning slightly as he explained Leo's past. "Poor boy. You know I can't treat him any differently than the others and I care for all of my children, Zack. He can have as much time to get used to me as he needs but I won't be the one pushing him for acceptance. That will be his teammates. If he can't work with them he can't lead them and they will get hurt."
She paused and sighed, going over to Zack and gently putting her hand on his cheek. "I will try not to push him too much, but he'll need all of the support he can get. Suppressing his feelings and pushing away those who want to help him won't help him. You'll help too, when you can, won't you?" she asked, looking up at him worriedly. "With these maidens possibly becoming a hazard for the students they won't have much time to grow before the world intrudes. You know I wish that I could put them somewhere safe where they would only be happy, but I can't. The world doesn't work that way and I've accepted that the best I can. But don't tell me not to fight for them, to fight to make sure they have the best chance I can give them."
With a soft sigh she returned to her work, glancing up at him briefly. "If you need me for support, I'm here. Not just for the kids, but for you too."
『He was used to this, being the older brother of several girls, and rubbed her arm gently as she cried. It almost made him miss them... Almost. He certainly wouldn't miss being guilt tripped into playing Prince Charming anymore. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked down at her, feeling the tug. Her words pushed a rare, but kind, smile onto his face. "Nah, don't sweat it. You didn't do anything wrong." He assured her in a gentle tone. His eyes wandered back towards Eva as she offered to help. "Alright then. Thanks." He cleared his throat and glanced to the door as Eva spoke to Lilian. He nodded in agreement, as comforting words weren't his forte. "They couldn't have gone that far." He added.』

He would have loved nothing more than to get to the dorm and collapse onto the bed, after getting out of his armor of course, but his kindness was overriding his exhaustion. He gave a quick wave to Leo and Lillian, though he wasn't sure if either of them had noticed when he left out the opposite direction. As he walks, Marten reaches into his bag, pulling out the mostly empty bags of snacks he carried with him. Knowing his own sweet tooth and the apparent sweet tooth of his team mates, he would need to carry more than he had previously.
He walks around for a short time before making his way to a candy store. He makes his way around the store filling bags with some of his favorite snacks, mostly rock candy and other snacks that last awhile, and can be carried anywhere without melting too much. As he makes his way around the store, searching for things his teammates would like, something astounding caught his eye.
He walks over to a wall of containers, holding dozens of flavors of jelly beans, his eyes fixated on one specific. Marten had told Lilian he would be on the lookout for something carrot flavored and he had hit the jackpot. Somehow, someway, by some strange coincidence, were carrot cake flavored jelly beans. Marten didn't fully trust it, but he gave them a try. Yuck! Yup. That is carrot cake. There is some crazy crap going on here to make that. Well Lilian will love this. Marten fills up two bags of the jelly beans, purely for Lilian. Once he has all of the assorted candy and snacks he heads to the front of the store and pays for everything.
Now Marten was back in the hallways of the school, a lollipop sticking out of his mouth. He took his time walking through the halls, enjoying the sights. There were pictures of former teams and headmasters and headmistresses. There were also fantastic pictures of battles with Grimm,and surprisingly, old weapons from previous Huntresses and Huntsmen. Before he made his way to the dorms, he went to the locker rooms to put his weapons and armor away. Now in just his normal street clothes he felt much better, the weight of his heavy armor pulling him down a little most of the time. After locking everything up he made his way back toward the dorms.
Walking around the corner to where his dorms would be, he spotted Eva, Hirch, Lilian, and Garnet. Marten froze for a second, seeing how distraught Lilian seemed. He walks up, reaching into his bag and pulling out the smaller sack of jelly beans he had gotten for her. "Is everything okay Lilian? You look like something happened." He hadn't been close enough to hear the conversation prior to his arrival. He had no idea that her tears were partly because of him not being there. Stats:
Leo would break out of his trance as he overheard Zack's conversation. Getting up silently, he would walk into the kitchen in time to hear Professor Sorrel's words about his feelings. Slightly angered over the thought that he was only being seen as another child, he would step into view and talk in a cool tone, his eyes hard and unwavering. “My ability to work in a team is not hampered by my personal history, I have been trained too well for that to become an issue. I have come to this academy on the dying wish of my teacher, and I will do what I need to in order to graduate from this academy. I've no need to be treated like a child who needs protection, because the child I once was died alongside my friends at the orphanage. I am a weapon to be used against the Grimm, and anyone who would threaten the peace of the realm, nothing more, nothing less.” With that, he would bow to the two of them with a muttered “Excuse me...” before walking out of the cafeteria, feeling the urge to run a few laps around the campus before going to sleep. He would take off into the dark silently, using the fresh air to coll his temper as he started go go into his usual state of mindlessness while training, letting his mind take a back seat to his instincts as they guided him through the campus, putting his mental map to good use as he vaulted, tumbled, and sprinted without a break around the campus five times.
Once he was finished with his last lap, he would enter the dorms once more and go to the room, pausing for a moment when he saw Lilian's clothes scattered on the floor. Knocking on the bathroom door to check if she was there, he would enter after hearing no response, taking a pair of beaten sweatpants from his pack with him. Taking a quick five minute shower, he would dry himself off, slip into the sweatpants, and step out into the dorm room. Taking a seat on his bedroll, he would blink in surprise when he realized that he had forgotten Unity Concordia in the cafeteria. His surprise would only be increased as just then, he saw Duo come trotting in, dragging his weapon rig with him. Walking up to Leo, Duo would drop the weapons onto his lap before laying down next to Leo, passing out almost immediately and snoring somewhat loudly. Leo would smile softly in relief, ashamed that he had left his most precious item behind in his anger. Looking to Duo, Leo would whisper a “Thank you...” to him before gently petting Duo's side. With his weapons in hand, Leo would quickly get to work on his maintenance and upkeep, going though the familiar movements quickly and efficiently. After making sure that his weapons were all in top shape, he would set the rig against the wall, loosening one of the Anima daggers slightly so he could draw it immediately if needed and lay back on his bedroll. Closing his eyes, Leo's body would become as still as the grave, the only indication of him still being alive was the soft sounds of his breathing as it began to slow.

Lilian looked up to Garnet to hear his soothing words once more. With a clearer vision, she couldn't help but see him in a different point of view, her face began to lightly blush, and gave a responding soft smile. She nodded her head in agreement, then turned over to Eva to hear Her. comforting words. "Thank you.....Thank you so much." She replied, a bit more cheered up than from before.
Lilian took a step back from garnet, and fixed her over sized button up shirt, and lightly patted both sides of her face with both of her hands. This was the attempt to cheer up, and stop her tears. it worked for the time being, even though her eyes were still puffy from crying all this time. She truly had many fears; Fear of dogs, the dark, and being alone in uncharted areas. The worst of it was, she had always been with her twin. You would considered them inseparable, glued to each others side. Sadly, with her twins random disappearance, dealing with her anxiety has been rather difficult.
Hearing a familiar voice uttered her name, Lilian's ears perked up. She quickly shot a glance to Martin with a rather dumbfounded, yet surprised expression. She felt like crying in relief, but then anger, rather adorable as it may appear, came over her. She wandered over to her teammate, and lightly punched his left forearm. "Where were you! I was left alone in the room, I got scared, and...and!" Lilian lowered her hand as she felt her lip quiver, again trying to hold back the tears. "Leo never came back........" It a way she felt hurt that their own leader has just up and gone to do whatever he planned to do without informing her. Well, same with martin. If there was anything that her team lacked the most, it was communication. She saw the bag of jelly beans being offered to her, and with a few sniffles to still hold back the tears, she shyly reached with her right hand, and took one for herself.
"I'm still mad......" She pouted before taking a bite. "Carrot cake!?" She said a bit shocked, and looked up to Martin. Before she would even allow herself to be the dog with a wagging tail, and forget everything that happened over some candy, she quickly turned away, and looked to the floor while fiddling with her fingers. "We still have to find Leo........" She added rather calmly and looked up to Garnet with hopeful eyes. Turning to Eva, she smiled once again. "Where should we start?"

Hirsch nodded, flopping onto the bed he wanted to be on. He was just about to close his eyes, to relax from their first fight with Grimm, when Lilian came barging in, straight to Garnet. The Deer Faunus sat up on his elbow, watching as the Rabbit Faunus cried to Garnet about her team members.
He didn't butt into the conversation until Eva gave her orders to him. He saluted her, taking out his scroll. "I'll keep an eye and ear out for them." he said, wriggling his deer ears slightly. "I hope you guys find them." He was sure that Lilian was just scared and nervous in a big, foreign place like this. He was, too, in a sense. But it wasn't the first time, so he supposed he was just used to it now.
As soon as they left, Hirsch decided to look around the dorms a little, since it would help with their search, plus he was bored and curious. He didn't walk far down the hallway when he passed the dorm of Lilian and her teammates. He paused, hearing noises inside. He frowned slightly, then knocked loudly on the door. Maybe one of them came back?
He sent a message to Eva's scroll. I think someone's back in their dorm. I heard noises in their dorm room. I'm knocking to see if I'm right. I'll send a call when I can confirm it.
Looking to Chrissy as she mentioned being there for him, he would give her a shrug. “It isn't the first time I've lost a friend, and its certainly not going to be the last. I'm a big boy Chrissy, I'll live. Spend that time to pester Yoru some, hm? I'm sure you'll get what you want to hear out of him faster if you get on his a** about it.” It was then that Leo had entered and spoke the words that Zack had feared the most out of him. After Leo ran off, he would sigh and shake his head. “That would be why I had said to leave him be. He hates being treated like a child, mostly because he was denied any form of a regular childhood. He wants to be seen as a warrior, first and foremost.” Zack would step out of the kitchen to clean up the plates and bring back the rest of the turkey, plenty to be used with the meal for the rest of the students. While he was clearing the table, he would see Duo jump for Leo's weapon rig and start dragging it off. “Good call buddy. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Keep an eye on him, ok?” He would call out to the dog, receiving a small growl in acknowledgment. Walking back into the kitchen, he would set the mostly intact turkey next to Chrissy. “No point in wasting good food. Add this in, it'll make things a bit more interesting. Also, I'm sure all the kids are tired from today, so lets hold back on a desert. If you want to make some for yourself, far be it from me to stop you from adding onto your figure.” He would tease her playfully, giving her a small wave as he started walking out of the kitchen. “I'll go check in on him. He should be going back into his room in a few minutes, after he clears his head a bit. I'll be back after I make sure all the students are here and settled.”
Wandering the halls, Zack would first find Leo's dorm, the doorway was open, and the young deer faunus boy was standing in front of it, looking down at his scroll. “Hirsch right? Sorry about the late introduction, I'm one of the instructors here. Zack Shadowheart.” He would say casually as he walked into the room, glancing down at the boy. “I hear you have a bit of a temper when it comes to your height... Wait till you spend some time in my class, I'm sure you'll be thankful for it soon enough.” Seeing Leo laying still on his bedroll as opposed to a bed, Zack would chuckle warmly. “That's so like him... Give him a basic comfort, and he'll ignore it completely.” Looking at Leo's collection of scars on his torso, he would sigh softly. “You've seen more hell than I have at this point, haven't you...?” He would murmur gently before pulling out a baggy shirt from Leo's pack and tossing it onto him. “Sorry little brother, you can't go to sleep yet. Gotta play nice with the other kids for a little bit first. I'm sure your teammates are searching for you.” He would look back to Hirsch. “Tell your teammates to have everyone meet up in the cafeteria, you'll all be getting a light dinner before crashing for the night. You have fifteen minutes to gather before I make a game of finding you all... And I don't think you want that happening.” He would grin playfully at the boy as he cracked his knuckles, keeping lighthearted about the situation in general.
Chrissy gave Zack an unimpressed look as he said that he would be fine without her fussing and that she should focus on Yoru. She could tell he was trying to divert her attention away from him and she wasn't going to let it go though she wouldn't push him right now. Softly she sighed, looking sad as Leo ran off after telling them he was nothing more than a weapon.
"Just because he is a warrior is no reason not to give him the same care the others receive. All of them are warriors now, even if they don't have much experience. But giving them reminders that they are also children doesn't hurt." She shook her head and let Zack go, smacking his shoulder hard as he walked by. "Adding to my figure indeed," she huffed, checking her hips for a brief moment before rolling her eyes and returning to her work.
Eva opened the message that Hirsch sent her, softly sighing and shaking her head. "Seems like it would probably be best to start at your dorm. Hirsch said he thought someone had gone into your room. It's likely that Leo came back already." She looked between Martin and Lilian, shrugging slightly and glancing at Garnet. "I think that one of the first things we'll have to address as teams is communication so something like this doesn't happen again."
Hirsch jumped as Zack approached. He put his scroll away as the teacher introduced himself. "Uh, yeah. Hirsch Lightfoot, sir." he said, regaining his composure. He blushed deeply as he mentioned his height. His eyes fell to the ground, and he immediately looked slightly irritated. "It's a late growth spurt..." he grumbled. His ears perked up when Zack mentioned classes. "Class? Sorry, I forgot. Which class is yours again, sir? Sorry, I should have paid better attention."
He watched in confusion as Zack entered the dorm of the other team with ease, check in on what was Leo. Hirsch quickly sent a new message on his scroll to Eva:
It's Leo. And now our teacher Zack Shadowheart.
He put his scroll away and straightened to attention as Zack gave him orders. The little Faunus nodded. "Yes, sir. Well, Lance is in our room, but Eva and Garnet left with Lilian to find the rest of her team." he said. "I'll send Eva a message to let her know."
With that, the smaller boy left, to go back to his dorm.
He entered the room, closing the door behind him. He quickly sent Eva a new message:
Professor Shadowheart wants everyone to meet up in the cafeteria for dinner. He said he'll find us if we're not there in fifteen minutes, and that we don't want to have that happen. I'll wake Lance and get us moving there now.
Satisfied, he put his scroll back in one of his pouches, then walked over to Lance's bed. He nudged the blanket burrito that served as Lance's current home. "Hey, Professor Shadowheart wants us to go to the cafeteria. He's giving us fifteen minutes to get there before he finds us." He waited beside the bed for a response. He didn't mind games -in fact, he loved them- but the way Zack put it with that grin and cracking his knuckles... He wasn't quite in the mood to find out what his new professor meant by a 'game.'
『Thank goodness for Eva. If Garnet had been in charge, he'd be overwhelmed before the first mission. Before he had a chance to speak, however, Martin appeared from his venture to what Garnet assumed was the candy store and listened in to his banter with Lilian. He crossed his arms with a sigh, both a bit annoyed and relieved by how this minor crisis practically resolved itself. He nodded promptly at Eva's suggestion that they talk about communication. "Agreed. We'll get nowhere fast if we don't learn to talk to one another..." He huffed. Things were never this chaotic at home. Then again, this place was nothing like what Garnet was used to. Hearing Eva's scroll ping again, the young man glanced to her with a raised eyebrow. "Hirsch again?" He asked, a small frown tugging at his face.』

Lilian turned her attention over to Eva to hear that Leo had returned to the dorm room. At this point, Lilian was relieved but felt utter embarrassment from all he fussing. But, what do you expect from the poor girl? She usually better when her twin is around, and with him gone, she is a mess. Lilian has never been this far gone without her brother for this long, and seeing how he wasn't going to turn up anytime soon, she would need to relearn to adjust to her new surroundings, new encounters, as well as trying to get use to being alone sometimes, even if its one of her major fears.
Her bunny ears flopped down in an almost mopey state, as her face was beat red from frustration, and embarrassment. She tugged down on the only thing she wore, while fighting to figure out what to say now after all that hassle. "I-I see!......Well I better get going then huh? Heheh!" She replied rather uneasy, and unsure how to sound. Lilian looked up to Garnet with an apologetic expression, and worded sorry to him. Lilian looked back to martin with a small smile. "L-Let's head back I guess...." Looking back to the other two, she waved. "T-thank you, and......sorry...." Feeling defeated, and exhausted from the commotion she brought to herself, Lilian made haste down the hallway.
She felt rather silly for causing the other team such a bother, and was trying to think of a way to make it up to them, mean while she was frustrated with herself for behaving in such a poorly manor. Surely, if her brother was here, she would be better at interacting with other people. While in mid thought, she had bumped into someone, and stumbled back a bit while holding her head. Looking up, she saw it was an adult with spiky black hair. "O-Oh! Sorry!" She quickly fixed her posture, and politely bowed him him before darting off to her dorm.
Once she reached there, she saw the door still open, and quickly entered, as if hoping that Leo didn't leave again. Once inside, dead ahead, there was her captain, passed out. Lilian smiled to see he was alright, and nothing happened to him.....still, he could do more to talk to his teammates. Lilian's eyes wandered to the floor to see her clothes scattered everywhere, even her stripped panties laying out in the open.
Blushing a deep red, how could she be so careless!? Hurrying over to the pile, she gathered them up quickly before Martin would see, and booked it back out of her dorm. Could today get any worse!? She thought to herself. Luckily the laundry room wasn't that far from the dorm, and thought to make a quick stop there. Once inside, she noticed the room itself was a bit unnerving, with the creaking sounds from the pipes, and the flickering light in the center, Lilian thought that maybe she should have waiting till morning. Either way, She put her clothes in the washer, and sat herself on t cold ground beside it, holding her knees close to her chest, and pulled the extra large shirt over her knees as to not be indecently exposed.
Lilian rested her head on top of her knee's and let out a soft sigh. She couldn't help but feel bad about how she troubled the others over such a menial thing as not wanting to be alone. "Where are you brother?..." She whispered to herself before burring her face in her knees. She drowned out her thoughts to the sound of the washer machine running, and eventually fell asleep.
Upon having the shirt tossed onto him, Leo's eyes would open to see Zack standing above him, talking to someone at the door. As he walked out, Leo would catch a glimpse of the deer faunus boy from earlier. Before he could get up however, Lilian and Marten would walk into the room. Sitting up, he would quickly slip the worn tee shirt on as he noted Lilian gathering up her clothing in a rush. Sighing softly as she ran out, he would get up off his bedroll. “And that would be why I made the room divide...” He would mumble to no one in particular. He had heard what Zack had said to Hirsch, and knew that having Zack come find them would be something similar to a mentally scarring experience to anyone not used to someone who takes fun to a dangerous level at times. “You better get to the cafeteria Marten, Professor Shadowheart wants us all there by fifteen minutes. And we really don't want him hunting us down if we're not there in time. I'll get Lilian and meet you there. If we don't make it in time, I'll at least be able to keep him at bay long enough for us to get there without any... complications...” He would walk over to his pack and grab another pair of worn sweatpants, as well as grabbing his weapon rig and slinging it on silently. Looking to Marten with a calm expression, he would give a small smile. “Best to just think of this as a training exercise. That way, you'll be ready if things get odd.” With that, he would walk out of the room and head towards the laundry room. Duo, having been laying beside the door frame, would get onto his feet and look at Marten expectantly, seeming to grin with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Leo, having found the laundry room quickly, would look around quietly, mostly to survey the equipment he had to work with for when he would need to run loads himself. Seeing the one washer in use, he would then notice Lilian sitting on the floor next to it, rearing nothing but an over-sized button down shirt. Shaking his head, he would walk over and kneel down in front of her. “You're sure to get a cold that way you know...?” He would say to her softly, not knowing if she was going to wake up easily or not. Seeing that she wasn't stirring at all to his words, he would sigh once more and gently position her arms around her so that he could lift her without putting her in a compromising position. Making sure that the door was closed, he would lay her onto one of the folding tables and quickly slip the pair of sweatpants he brought on her, pulling the drawstring and slipping it into a secure knot before lifting her up and carrying her princess style once more, making his way to the cafeteria slowly. “I guess we all have to get used to this... working with others in a team...” He would whisper quietly, feeling that this chain of events was caused by his not mentioning anything to his new teammates when he left to make the turkey earlier. Now he had to make it to the cafeteria before Zack gets bored and starts chasing people down, in his overly enthusiastic way.

Eva nodded at Garnet as she checked the message. "Hirsch said that one of the professors is with Leo in their dorm and wants us all to go to the cafeteria quickly or else there will be consequences," she said with a soft sigh. "Which would be easier if we knew the layout of the school. If we're fast enough we can go with the others so we all know where it is." She followed Lilian back, slipping into her team's dorm to check on her other two teammates.
"Thank you for keeping me updated, Hirsch. We'll definitely need a better communication system in the future, particularly for the field, but you did a good job making sure we got the pertinent information in a hurry." She smiled at the Faunus and checked on Lance, "I assume that we're meant to be going to dinner. I'm not sure if the professor will actually enforce his threat, after all he can't force us to eat if we don't want to, but it might be a good way to find out more about the teachers. Particularly this one who we haven't seen so far."
Sitting on the edge of Lance's bed so she could see all of her teammates she looked at them. "Are there any objections to following orders from Professor Shadowheart?" she asked, wanting to be sure the others were alright with the plan. "If not we had best stick with Leo and his team. It would be better to get lost together than to be wandering around on our own."

After having turned himself into what is commonly known as the; "Human Burrito", Lance had fallen into a twilight sleep. He is getting his well needed rest, but is still awake enough to be aware of his surroundings. Just when he thought to be slipping into a much deeper sleep, a loud commotion by the other player known as Lilian came in like a storm. Lance, slightly lifted the blanket to reveal one eye, and peeked out to watch the scene take it's place. He over heard the entire conversation, but thought that his assistance was not needed since Eva, and Garnet seemed to have it under control, as well as Hirsch. Meanwhile, it would seem one of Lilian's teammates had entered the room, and solved only a portion of Lilians problem.
It wasn't until soon after his arrival did they all part. Leaving but only himself in the room. Letting out a rather exhausted sigh, his eyes wondered over to the thermostat, and thought about raising the temperature. He hated the Ac that lingered in the entire campus, even their dorm room, but knew if he changed anything, it would cause a fight....maybe.... Either way, the outcome would be to much of a hassle, and he was rather tired himself, more or less lazy to even deal with drama. Closing his eyes once again, Lance was gonna try to get some sleep. Unfortunately, when his teammates returned, and Eva placing herself on the bed, his one peeking eye from under the blanket, looked to her tiredly.
He listened in closely to the current objective, which was to head to the cafe, or be chased by this teacher. His eyes became droopy as he didn't so much care for this task, nor would even part take in the chase, unless he didn't have a choice. How bothersome. Lance thought to himself. He then raised his right arm, lifting the blanket, and just as quickly, Pulled Eva under the covers with him, and laid back down, and held Eva with close to him. His eyes were already closed at this point. "Captured." He said nonchalantly. Lance then let out a long yawn, and tried to go back to sleep.
