Welcome to Gaia! ::

Suto was always a hard teacher to stand up to. No matter how angry she could be or how strong she thought herself was, it would end up ebbing away and be replaced by a fear that chilled her to the bone.

As much as she wanted to tell him. Prove to him that his words were full of s**t and that the teachers where unable to do anything about the bullies, that creepy psychotic smile came up. But it wasn't the usual one, it spoke of something far more dangerous then a few detentions. He even went so far as to compare her to the bullies she so hated. She wanted to tell him he was wrong, but she couldn't. She stood there and Willied herself to act brave, to pretend he didn't scare her.

Atticus rested his head on his hand as he continued to watch the two groups over his book. This was a day of many firsts. He never thought he'd see a vampire with a stuffed animal, nor Riyo with another guy. Especially one that didn't breathe.

Was he jealous? No, that wasn't a good way to describe it. Perhaps a little curious with a smidgen of worry. If she was getting into relationships, he could only assume she was hiding all of her dirty secrets for fear of rejection. Half of him couldn't blame her, the other half was concerned for anybody who might accidentally cross her.

Noticing one boy standing in the doorway, Atticus looked over. "You can come in. They're both out cold, no risk of biting." The doctor joked, though it was hard to tell with his unchanging expression and tone.

Desmond sighed at Mitsu's still form, wondering how long she'd be out. At least she wouldn't have to stay in the same tent with Nami and Tessa tonight... Or perhaps the rest of the trip. Not feeling as bold as Klyde, especially with Shun and his little friend around, Desmond took a seat on the empty bed next to hers, his back leaning forward to watch her for any movements. Tessa... He had to wonder if she'd had a hand in this. She was cold enough to be so cruel, after all.

Riyo seemed to stir slightly as her personal space was invaded, a twitch of her ears as her hair was touched. Didn't seem like she was as 'out cold' as Atticus might've thought.

Glancing at Atticus as he was told that he could come in, Blade shifted in place. Biting wasn't exactly the thing that was getting him right now. It was more of a matter of not really feeling that he belonged there or something along those lines. Letting out a sigh, he went on in, slowly making his way over towards Riyo, quirking a brow at Klyde's actions. They weren't together as far as he knew, so it was just a little odd to see.. if not potentially creepy.

"The Hive didn't get her too did they?" he asked quietly. The thief had somewhat of an idea of what had happened to Mitsu and since he didn't see Riyo's actual injuries, he could only guess what could have happened to her.

Keeping his hands in his pockets, Shun continued to look over Mitsu before glancing over at Bent-Tail who soon spoke up.

"She'll be alright... right?" the rat asked the doctor.

"Of course she will be." Atticus said in confidence, nodding at the two boys. "She just needs some rest."

And then another visitor made their way in. Finally sitting the book down and ending his facade, Atticus looked up at the scientist. "Busy doesn't even begin to describe..." the doctor sighed.

It was semi-strange that Suto was so interested in the two girls, but chaos did draw attention he supposed. "Actually... I think they were two separate incidents. Mitsu's damage was more blunt force while Riyo's was..." Had Klyde said a bear? "A bear, apparently."

Riyo seemed to grimace at all the voices in the room. "Mitsu, are you listening to something?" She called out groggily, thinking she was back in the dorms. "Can you turn it down?"

It seemed they were taking the news that it was a bear rather calmly, though Klyde couldn't say he wasn't thankful for that. He really didn't want to retell the story of how he had wrangled a bear. "Yeah, thankfully I got there when I did." Though, if he had gotten there sooner the bear might not have done as much if any damage at all.

Hearing Riyo speak up Klyde leaned in a little closer. "Hey, you waking up?" She seemed a little out of it or at least didn't know where she was. "Mitsu's out at the moment, you're probably hearing just us." It would have been better to explain she wasn't in her dorm...or who 'us' entailed but that thought didn't seem to cross Klyde's mind.

"Blunt force?" Suto gave that some thought. It would be interesting to see how the girl would fair. She had been given enough 'medicine' to begin a change, therefore, she should have somewhat of a healing factor. At least if his calculations were right. He would have to monitor her condition to see how far she had progressed.

"And...a bear you say?" Not that it was completely surprising considering where they were. What was surprising was that she was alive. Thinking these things over his vision settled on Shun, Bent, and Blade. Aside from the rat the other two were rather questionable and....he could have sworn Blade would have been out of his mind and out of his hair for the moment. Was this boy super human? He must have gotten something wrong with the formula he had given him. Something must have been off....but what? "So what brings you boy's here?" Nether seemed to be in the market for friends but nether looked injured....though it was possible Blade was seeking aid. He wanted to know though he tried to keep his expression as neutral as possible. His vision, however, lingered a little longer on Blade than was needed.

In her sleep Mitsu showed some sign of movement but the action only seemed to bring her pain. Her face scrunched a little before she settled back down still completely deep in sleep. It would no doubt be a while before she woke.

Seeing Riyo awaken, Blade turned his attention back towards her, wondering how she was feeling exactly. Most likely she wasn't feeling all that great just yet. During the brief moment her arm was exposed, he didn't really notice anything since he heard Suto asking a few of them questions. Turning around, he glanced over at the scientist... wondering why he was being stared at.

"I.. kinda owe Riyo," he mumbled lowly, not being completely comfortable with saying that with the vampires and Shun around. Aside from that little fact, he kinda wanted to be around her, but he wasn't about to say that. Quickly thinking of another excuse to be there, he added "That.. and I kinda lost those painkillers you gave me."

His body was still fairly sore over all from getting beaten down and all.

"Mitsu is a friend," Shun said simply. It sounded odd to be saying that, but there wasn't really any other way to put it. Still, the word 'friend' wasn't really something that came from his lips all that often. Glancing back over at the girl, he took note of how still she was over all. If he was going to be sticking around, he would likely be here for awhile..

Riyo was sorta surprised that Klyde wasn't mad at her. If it had been Atticus (not that he could've killed a bear or anything) she probably would've gotten chewed out the second she woke up.

Blush increasing as her forehead was kissed, a soft smile overtook her lips. He really was too good to her. "Thank you." For everything...

When her ears caught Blade's statement, she looked over to him curiously. Owed her? How did he owe her?

Oh, wait. He was referring to yesterday. "It's alright Blade. You don't owe me." She didn't want him to feel obligated to be here. In any case, she'd been in situations like that. Where nobody had come to help. "I know how it feels to be up s**t creek without a paddle."

Atticus raised an eyebrow at the vampires actions and Blade's words. Apparently Riyo was pretty popular with the men these days. A strange thing to think about indeed. "I'd be more than happy to give you something for the pain." He said to Blade, already opening up his medical bag to find something for him.
