Reluctantly releasing the door, he comes to stand next to Ren.
Still looking over his shoulder at the magnificent the piece of art.

Iri allows herself a little laugh. Warmth is in the sound. A mark of genuine mirth. "Yeah, not too fond of it myself. But, it's home now. So, after you left, what did you do? I think I remember you looking for Aven. Something had happened to Sarya, too. Did you go looking for them?"
In the main room, Jin is trying to conceal a snicker. He had vanished upon seeing the door open. Now that he sees who the intruder is, a comrade and an apparently friendly stranger, the dragon feels a little ornrey. He allows Ren about a minute to become comfortable in the room. Then, with a very mean sounding roar, he appears behind the Tsuchi student and encases the smaller person in a bear hug. And begins to swing him around like a rag doll.
"Oi! Comrade o' mine! Ren! 'N what be bringin ya to me sensei's fine facility here, eh?"
As he teases the Tsuchi student, Jin looks to the other one. He flashes a toothy grin and drops Ren to produce a peace sign with one hand.
"'N who be yer friend?"
Downstairs, Iri lets go of Reeve to step into the kitchen. She motions for them to follow and seat themselves. As they do as they will, Iri sets about getting glasses and a jug of chilled sweet tea.

Reeve's face goes slate-blank as he nods, one of his hands patting himself down again, looking for his 'medication'.
"I looked," he mumbles.

Iri looks over her shoulder as she hefts a jug of tea out of the refrigerator. That expression isn't a good one. And his hands. So she's hit a nerve. As much as she would like him to just rest, it's probably best to press on. Iri walks over to a table, pulls out three chairs, and sets down the tea and three glasses. She pours a generous amount into all three cups. Then she takes a seat. The Fury takes a sip before talking again.
"Do you remember what happened? This is upsetting you. I can tell. But a lot's happened and we need to know where to start if we're going to fill in the blanks. And though you don't remember it, you've apparently made attacks against the Academy. If we don't figure out why, you could be in more trouble than what I or Lina can protect you against. So...?"

The harder Reeve tries to remember, the more frantically he starts rifling through his pockets. Left pocket? No. Right pocket? No. Front? Back? No,no,no, where is it, s**t ,where is it, I knew I had it, until he has to dart out of the room, making a beeline for the bathroom. There's a retch, then a splash, and Reeve curls up, wrapping his arms around his knees, his fingertips still searching for the container of pills.

Iri's eyes widen and she tears off after Reeve. The Fury is cursing under her breath. His antics are unmistakable. Though she's never suffered from addiction, she's seen it in other people. Did he intentionally do this to himself? Or has someone else done it to him? Addiction is always the choice of the addict in normal cases. But Iri doesn't see this being the standard case.
Not even panting, Iri slides in the bathroom just in time to miss, but still hear, Reeve get sick. She grimaces and takes a step back.
"Damn it all, and I thought the situation was getting better."
The Fury leans against the frame of the door. For a few moments, she'll let him gather himself. If he doesn't show signs of getting better, she'll just have to try a different approach.

Reeve leans against the wall, looking up at the ceiling. It suddenly got very cold, at least to him. He draws his appendages in tighter, shivering. "Where...where are they?"

Iri softens her voice, trying to be consoling. Though she's not sure if there's a point to it now. Other than the thought.
"Last time you took those pills, you started talking like a computer. You looked at me and didn't see me. You almost attacked Lina. Whatever's wrong with you, those pills are part of the problem. I know you feel like you aren't well, but I can't let you have them."
Hopefully, he thinks Iri's got the pills. She can protect herself without hurting him.

"'N who be yer friend?" "FFFFUUUU-"
Ren tensed when he heard the roar and became embraced by the dragon-kin's bear hug. When he was released he turned to Jin, "This is Ookamimaru, he's going to be a student at Kaze Dojo. We just came from the Main Dojo where another battle just broke out."
He leaned in close to Jin to whisper something, "I don't think he's been around civilization for a long time and his speech is kinda strange. Like he hasn't used a language in awhile or something."

Jin reaches up to scratch the base of one antler.
"Hmm... Guess e'ryone be fightin'. Sommat big be goin' on? Well, good to know Ah have meself a new classmate. Miss Iri'll be please ta hear, Ah'm sure. But, who be fightin'? 'N where?"
Blue eyes stray toward the door. He looks curious. If two came running, though, one probably shouldn't strike out on his own. So, he stays put, idly scratching his head.

Lina had kept in hearing range, she blinked as Iri didn't mention her involvement but didn't make any motion because of it. She thought for a few moments before an idea came to mind.
She headed behind the Fury and calmly stated.
"Maybe I should go get a full med-package. I have some broad-base withdrawal medication back in my quarters."
Her tone only flickered for the slightest of moments, but it should have been a clue to one looking for her plan.
"I could probably be there and back in twenty minutes if I skip the tram."

Iri looks at Lina with a grateful lopsided grin. The expression is mixed with desperation. She don't know a thing about handling these kinds of situations. Then she gives Lina a thumb up. And she didn't miss a hint of surprise at Iri's choice of words.
"You're fantastic, Lina! I'll keep him in check for ya."
As she speaks, Iri thinks to her, "If he thinks I have the pills, he's less likely to find them. Trust me, he's sneaky like that. And if he gets violent, I can make myself into nothing more than an Iri-shaped vapor. Sound good to you?"
Iri does notice the change in Lina's voice, but doesn't take much note of it. The meaning eludes her. Though she does associate it with Reeve's previous computer jargon voice, so she figures Lina's got a trick up her sleeve as well.

"Yea at the Main Dojo-- there were soldiers with "guns", that Tier guy called them. They shoot small things at you at high speeds from what I witnessed.
Kaimen Sensei is fighting some guy that uses Ninjutsu and a gun. I don't know much else than that though. We had to come here."
Ren sighed, "I just don't understand who keeps attacking us and why."

A familiar little girl would wait until Lina began to leave before making herself known to Iri, standing behind her with wide purple eyes fixated on the convulsing Reeve.
"He looks sick, Big Sis~"

Reeve succumbs to a bout of worshiping the porcelain god while trying to be dignified and conversational.
" Am sick, kid. She don't look like you, 'Big Sis'..."
