Petro was content to stay in the fringes of the group, his own egg cradled protectively in his arm while he listened and observed. When the other students began asking questions about their new "companions" (the word servant always left a bad taste in the tikbalang's mouth), it got him thinking, "They any good at defending themselves and others?"
Introductions were being made but Tro thought that since they weren't addressing him, there was little reason for him to volunteer his own. He cocked his head towards Riley then at the egg she'd dropped. "Sumalangit nawa," he murmured softly before turning to Jericho, "Need help in cleaning that up?" he asked.

Nyyrikki had seen and heard some commotion about the minipets Jericho had been giving away, and since he'd briefly worked with him during Minipet Training, he felt fairly comfortable going to check out what was going on.
When he arrived at the dragon's door he quickly rapped on it with chain-clad knuckles and then stuffed his hands in his pockets. Being in the monster dorms was... slightly less comfortable than he'd anticipated. He'd actually never been in another faction's dorm building before, and hadn't thoought about what that might mean. What if he wasn't supposed to be here? He glanced left and right down the hall, shifting his weight restlessly.

Grabbing a new egg for Riley, Jericho carefully handed it to her and turned his attention towards Petro.
"Fighting ability depends from kobold to kobold, some might need a strong 'leader' type to really get their potential out. But they do seem pretty good with dealing with traps," he said, thinking on the capabilities of these particular dragonkin.
"And yeah... some help would be nice," he added, staring at the egg splat. Before moving on to clean that up, he heard a light knocking at his door. Holding up a finger to tell Tro to wait a moment, he made his way over and opened up to see Nyyrikki there, remembering him from the minipet training class.
"Hey, come on in."
Gimbal let out something akin to a whine as he was flicked in the forehead once more. Again, he settled down nearly immediately. He wasn't sure if he could really believe Lizzy here.
"...Bad?" he repeated, though in a much softer and more meek voice.

Nyyrikki stepped through the door as quickly as he good, glad to be out of the hallway where someone could catch him and tell him he didn't belong. The last thing he needed was to catch attention for hanging out in the monster dorms without permission.
However, once he was inside he was instantly relaxed by the many different students he saw lurking around. There were demons and... well, a lot of demons. He was pretty certain he was the only reaper, actually, and shrugged his shoulders up around his neck slightly in discomfort once again.
On the bright side, he'd probably get to meet some pretty influential people today. That had to be useful.
His eye was caught by the pile of eggs and he blinked, moving toward them. "So what are these, exactly?"

Once the reaper was in the room, Jericho went ahead and closed the door again. He contemplated leaving it open for the time being, but decided against it for now.
"They're Kobolds, little draconic guys," Jericho replied while motioning over at Gimbal, "They can learn a variety of skills and a pretty basic vocabulary.They're usually pretty eager to please."
At least the ones at home were to varying degrees. He supposed there would always be deviants in regards to that.
Looking around the room, he figured it was a pretty good thing the space was bigger than the average room to accommodate his true from, otherwise it'd really start to feel a bit cramped around here with everyone coming in.

"That's cool..." Nyyrikki hummed looking over them. They weren't particularly exciting in looks or actions right now, merely being eggs, but if Jericho's own 'Kobold' was anything to go by, they sure became intriguing. Perhaps it would be able to keep a handle on his kushis. That would be a jacking miracle.
"Is there anything special they need? Special food or habitat, or anything?" It probably wouldn't deter him, it just helped to know how he'd have to alter his space in order to accommodate the new addition to his mixed up little 'family'. Then a thought hit him, something about what he'd been thinking earlier.
"Oh god. It won't eat my kushi-kushis will it?" Such horror crossed his face that you wouldn't believe he was only thinking about a dragonic creature munching on his poor pink kushi.

Aksaja raised eyebrows at that. So these little lizard-things were . . . servants to dragons where Jericho came from? "That's cool. And you're just giving them away now?" he asked. Though he could see how the sheer numbers of the things would likely drive the other dragon crazy after a while.
"Guess I could take a couple off your hands," he continued with a faint smirk. Wouldn't hurt to have some minipets that completely respected him and would probably do anything he said. Right? Right!

A free reptilian servant? The idea sounded too good to be true. Why would anyone be giving away a free minipet? Less they wanted something in return, or it was a trap set by one of the teachers, she wouldn't put it past them. At any rate, Astra was willing to take the risk in seeing if it was true, until she had read who wrote the note, and groaned. Jericho? As if he would give her one! not to mention she wouldn't want anything of his! stupid dragon Still, she was rather curious as to why he was giving them out. So being the type to butt into anything, she ventured to the monster dorm and stood outside the door wondering how she was going to get in unseen. Perhaps the old 'knock and run' trick would work. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door as hard as she could (which wasn't very hard at all), and then darted behind a conveniently placed pot plant. (( poke mattix is my profile! I'll snag two off you when you have a chance, although you don't have to give them to me right away since Astra hasn't actually claimed them. Also feel free to spot her attempt at hiding, I'm happy to do some rp BD wink )

"They prefer meats and since they're cold blooded, warmth would be better than colder areas."
At the question on eating kushi's, Jericho's mind flashed to the day he met Savior. The incident was enough to turn him away from trying to eat one for a long while. Shaking his head to himself, he looked back at the Reaper and said, "As long as you train it to know that kushi's aren't food, you should be fine."
Looking back at Aksaja, he nodded with a slight grin.
"Alright," he said before grabbing a couple eggs for the lightning dragon. After handing them over, he glanced towards the door as he heard a rather faint knock. For a moment, he looked at the others to see if they had heard anything as well. Figuring he may as well go check it out, he cracked the door open and saw no one out there right off the bat. It must have been his imagination. With a shrug, he just closed the door once again.

Gratefully taking the two eggs that Jericho handed over to her, Yui stepped back out of the way to listen intently as the dragon explained what the eggs would need. Almost immediately she found herself wondering if the Dragon Kings used kobolds as servants too. Or if it was just certain dragons that they tended.
The young samebito caught her tail twitching nervously as more people came into the room. Not that she was afraid or overly shy, but she needed room to move and she was quickly beginning to run out of that space. It was time to leave. Edging backwards, she took step after careful step. And then Riley dropped an egg. The sound of it hitting combined with the dragon's little kobold becoming upset was enough to startle Yui and cause her to stumble. Which, in turn, led to her dropping one of the two eggs she held.
As the egg hit the floor and shattered, Yui found herself blushing furiously as tears brimmed in her glowing eyes.
"Oh... oh, I am sorry. I did not mean to drop it. I... I am so so sorry," Yui knew she was stammering, but she couldn't help it. The accidental snuffing out of a life was clearly upsetting to her. "P...please, if it is not to much trouble, may I have another? I know I am not worthy due to my clumsiness, but please?"

Returning from the door, Jericho heard another splat. Looking over, he saw the remains of a second egg on the floor. He frowned for the moment, but seemed to get over it pretty quickly.
"No, it's fine," he said to the samebito, "There's a ton of eggs so no need to worry a whole lot. Besides, it was just an accident."
Though, if it had been something like one of his crystal balls that had just been shattered, he probably would have been royally pissed about it regardless. But that was a completely different matter. Carefully, he fetched another egg to hand to Yui.
In the meantime, Gimbal gave another shriek and squirmed some more in Lizzy's grasp. He didn't start shouting at the shark-girl like he did with Riley, but he was still not happy about the egg drop.

"Uh, bad... I suppose? Its an accident though..." She didn't really know how to respond to that; after all, if something precious to her was broken, well... She frowned slightly, patting Gimbal on his head as she stared at the messes on the ground before glancing back at the Kobold in her arms. Slowly, she placed him on the ground, hoping he wouldn't start flailing and hurting someone in his distress.
"Uh, I think I'll just take one," She smiled sheepishly at Jericho; he seemed busy right now, so it might be time to leave. Besides, she was starting to feel just a tad awkward, carrying his Kobold around, "If I manage to train that one, uh, may I then return for another?" The thought of making a second trip down to his room, however, caused her to flush lightly - she would blame it on the heat in the room.

As soon as the door had opened, Astra was alert and waiting for the opportune moment, when Jericho wasn't looking her way. Once he began closing the door, she darted out from her hiding place and flew with haste towards it before it closed. It was a pain he hadn't opened it a bit more, as she was cutting it ever so close. So close in fact that she had barely made it inside before the door had shut on the edge of her shirt.
'eep' she had squeaked quietly, but thankfully he seemed busy with talking to some other students...Wow, there were a lot of students here! and not only that...holy jack it was HOT! At any rate, she began tugging on the end of her shirt hoping jericho wouldn't see her, and then with a mighty tug she flew backwards, leaving a shred of her outfit in the edge of the door. The fairy then flew for the only cover she could see at first in the area, behind the metal desk, and completely forgetting the possibility of anyone else seeing her

Thankfully Gimbal didn't freak out when he was finally set down. He stood there for the time being, giving Riley the evil eye. He also went ahead and stick his tongue out at her for good measures too. Since Lizzy wasn't carrying him, he had less of a chance to be flicked in the forehead again!
Glancing over at Lizzy, Jericho grinned and nodded to her.
"Of course. That goes for anyone else here too," he said. Right about then, he caught some movement in the corner of his eyes. Something blue. Something small. Looking in that direction, he didn't see anything just within his line of sight, but that didn't quite satisfy him. Narrowing his golden eyes, he made his way over to his desk and peered over the edge, spotting Astra there.
"Sneaking around a dragon's lair has proven to be bad for one's health you know," he practically growled.

A Reptilian Servant.
Mac was interested. Very interested, in fact. He had a bunch of Scareons and baby foxfires (who were pretty much as annoying as those zombie squirrels outside with their whole not-leaving thing), but a reptile? He didn't have one of those yet! The sheet was a little misleading though; it said he could get one, but at what cost? It didn't specify free, or a certain amount or possible trade items!
Very unhelpful.
So instead, Mac stuffed his belt pouches with various things; silver seeds, arcade coins, and a few odd little buttons that really did have a purpose, and headed out to the Monster dorms; more specifically, room 312.
He knocked on the open door with his knuckles, finding quite a few people here already; one of them caught his attention, a pink haired demoness. His good mood dropped, his black eyes seemed to get darker, and he frowned in her direction for a moment...and then looked around, blatantly and pointedly not looking at Lizzy.
"I'm here to inquire about a Reptilian Servant?" More specifically, how much they were; but he assumed he'd find out one way or another.
