Lizzy eyed Gimbal for a while, unable to stop herself from giggling at his antics. She then looked up at Jericho with a smile as she was addressed, "Oh! Thank you~" As he moved away, she found herself waiting for him to hand an egg over. Not quite sure what to do with herself, her eyes started to wander around the room, taking in the details - when she spotted another familiar face among the newcomers. A face she did really expect to see so soon, but she figured since this was a free for all, she can't really do anything about it.
Well, except to hope that Jericho would hand that egg over quickly.
When he ignored her, she felt sort of relieved and sort of upset - more of the former though. She ignored him right back, looking away to stare at anything but the Reaper.

Hearing a knock at the door, Jericho briefly looked away from Astra to see the new reaper come on in. The guy didn't look all too happy, but he didn't know the reason why just yet.
"Cool, what do you want to know exactly?" he asked before glancing over at Gimbal, "Gimbal, go fetch Lizzy one of the eggs."
He would have done it himself, but he didn't want to leave Astra alone. The dragon didn't trust the way she was being all sneaky and stuff. She must have been here for his treasure, not the eggs.
Nodding quickly, the kobold hurried on over to the pile and snatched up one of the eggs. Once he had it in hand, he went on to offer it to the pink haired demon.

Once answered by the Dragon boil, Mac's expression brightened; woo, a distraction from that stupid Demoness!
"Mostly--" He paused, watching the Kobold take an egg to that pink haired abomination; his gaze darkened for a moment, and then resumed looking thoughtful, turning his attention back to who he assumed was Jericho. "What you would like in exchange for them. Your ad-thing didn't say." Though, now that he was thinking about it, he looked at the eggs, then at the Kobold, and back again.
"Are those eggs Kobolds?" He inquired, having heard of the little beasts through his Uncle. Heard of them, never actually seen one; this was exciting! It would have been better if Lizzy hadn't been there, though...the other Demons in the area were easily ignored, Lizzy couldnt be. They had a history. Already.

For a moment, Jericho's eyes brightened at the thought of being paid for these things. But, then he'd have a harder time getting rid of them. Oh well.
"They're free, though if you really want to give me something in return I won't object," he said as he glanced at the new Reaper briefly. He was relatively surprised to hear that he knew what the kobolds were. It had seemed so far that not many of the students around were familiar with them and it made him curious as to how familiar he was with the dragonkin. "And yes! They are kobolds. So would you like an egg or two?"

Mac saw the momentary brighten of Jericho's eyes, and the next set of words made him a nice, new dilemma. On one hand, they were free. Free was good. On the other, there was a potential new contact to be made here! One who, upon a quick glance of the room, had many things. The Reaper's mind went running; free, or good graces...it was a tough call, really.
"I'm supposed to be getting a bunch of gaming consoles from my Aunt soon." Mac started, his hand curled thoughtfully against his chin. "If you're interested, I could give you a console or two in exchange for two eggs?"

Grinning at the offer, Jericho liked this reaper already. Some new consoles couldn't hurt, especially since his scarestation was having some major issues as of late. If he didn't get a new one of those, it'd be fine with him too. A different system would be great as well.
"Sounds good to me, consider it a deal," he nodded, then looked over at Gimbal, "Go ahead and grab him a pair."
"Oh, I'm Jericho by the way," he said, looking to put a name to the new Reaper's face.

Once the deal was verbally agreed to, the Reaper moved a little more into the room, gazing at everything that wasn't in Lizzy's general direction, to stand before Jericho, stretching out a calloused hand to offer a handshake. Handshakes were okay. This was not a Demon!
"Nice to meet you, Jericho." He said simply, despite all the snarky replies he could have made, like 'I gathered' or even 'duh'. "I'm Mac." The name rolled off his tongue so easily and without a thought it was hard to believe that it wasn't his real name. "Thanks, man!" He grinned down at the kobold that would offer him the eggs, then back to the Dragon.
"I'll bring one of each over when I get 'em." That way he had time to figure out what he wanted! Mac's Minipet Profile!

To astra, the dragons footsteps felt more like a miniature earthquake...at least she believed so. Upon looking up she was able to see his head poking over the top of the desk, almost growling at her. This...wasn't good. He was not a happy dragon.
Her face had the exact appearance of a kid being caught with his hand in the cookie jar, her antenna pointing upwards in shock as she tried to think quickly of a possible plan. She had few options.
1. Run/fly. Good move, but she could get flamed 2. Stay there. Bad, he could flame her 3. Make something up. Not so good, she couldn't think of anything and he'd probably flame her 4. Tell the truth. Best move, but her pride as a fairy and thief wasn't going to let her come clean. Plus he could flame her anyway. 5. Hide in the treasure. A safe plan, but he might go on a rampage and flame everyone else here. She didn't want everyone getting mad at her, she knew some of these students. Plus when she got out he'd flame her.
Suddenly, Jericho had looked away for the moment to someone, so she decided to go with option one. She darted out of her hiding place, but not very far. Just to the other side of the desk and underneath the metal desk, trying to jump and hold onto the roof of the desk.

The handshake offer had Jericho hesitate for a moment. But, he remembered that Mac here wasn't a demon, so it should be safe. With a light grin, he shook the other's hand, "Pleasure to meet you as well, and I look forward to it."
Turning his attention back to the desk, he took note that Astra wasn't within his line of sight any longer.
"One little faerie is really wanting to try my patience it seems," he growled before giving the metal desk a swift kick, making a fairly loud thud resonate out thanks to the material it was made of. He didn't know if she was still there, but she couldn't have gone much further in the short time he had looked away. If she was somewhere else... well there was a greater chance that the lava pit would be cooking faerie stew soon.

Thanks to his kick, Astra squeaked, losing her grip and then fell to the ground. Stupid jerk, she only wanted to get one of the eggs he was giving out! what did he think she was gonna do, steal his treasure? she wasn't that stupid.
She took a quick glance around the small area, and spotted something that could be useful; one of jericho's textbooks. Picking it up, she took careful aim and then Frisbeed the thing away from his desk so she could fly towards the big pile of eggs, and perhaps use it as a hiding spot for a minute.

So the reaper was still there. Growling lowly, he jumped back as she flung one of his books out at him. Hissing as it hit him in the shin, he saw her dart on out towards the Kobold eggs. Narrowing his eyes, the dragon darted on after her to try and grab her by the shirt.
"JACK DAMMIT!!" he growled more loudly, "If there's something you want, just JACKING SAY SO INSTEAD OF BUZZING AROUND LIKE SOME LITTLE FLY"
It was pretty obvious he was getting rather angry here. Bits of flame could be seen dancing around the corners of his lips as he spoke. Though, he seemed to have cringed a bit after having shouted like that. He hadn't quite fully healed from his run-in with Savior and all.
"Or do you want to be burnt down to FEAR Particles right here?"

Before Astra could get to safety, she was grabbed from behind by her shirt, which left her to shriek and then wave her arms and legs around.
"LETGOLETGOLETGOLETGOLETGOLETGO" she shouted. "I'M NOT A FLY! I'M A FAIRYIE WHY WOULD I ASK FOR ANYTHING YOU STUPID REPTILE!" She seemed to calm down as she head his growl grow louder, folding her arms and pouting while she was still behind held on to. "It's not like you'd give me one if I asked anyway, so hmph!" Although as soon as she could see the whisps of flame, she almost screamed and started flailing again. "LETGOLETGOLETGOLETGO!" Stuff the eggs, she didn't want to be cooked!

"I have the same problem with a certain Demon." Mac grumbled; there could have been two causes for this, and coincidentally, both had pink hair. He didn't specify any more than that however, as he instead moved to watch with interest as the Dragon hunted down the rather loud, small fairy.
Sidestepping, the Reaper stepped forward and bent to collect the fallen notebook, tossing it nonchalantly back on the desk before staying where he was, watching the little scene
"Why wouldn't he give one to you? He's given one to everyone else." Mac pointed out what should have been obvious, and then gazed out the window; pity there were no blankets or extra coats laying around, they could capture her and put her into the woods like a rodent! Then, turning back to Jericho, he had another suggestion.
"Why not release the little weasel back into the woods?" It sounded like a good idea to him, really. "Either that or stick her in a jar~" He was half-joking, really.

Jericho had made sure to grab Astra with his left hand and of course he did not let go when she shouted at him to do so.
"AND IM A JACKDAMNED DRAGON NOT A REPTILE!!" he shouted back at her, wincing again. Then, narrowing his eyes he tried to keep as tight of a grip on her as he could.
"Actually, if you had asked nicely, I would have gladly given you one," he said with a rather devious grin. This quickly turned back into a rather harsh glare however, "But no, instead you came about sneaking around my room acting like you're up to no good!"
Glancing from the pile, to the faerie, to Mac, and then back to the faerie, he seemed to consider stuffing her into a big jar. Maybe she could provide him an extra life if he did that! But he supposed he should let her go instead of burning her into a crisp on the spot. Before he went on to do that, he added, "If you still want one, go ahead and take them. Word of advice. NEVER try to sneak around my place again if you know what's good for you. This is your first and final warning. Because I swear if you pull this s**t again, I won't just catch you. I will end you."
At the sight of all of this, Gimbal had squeaked and huddled down, nervous to see his master in a furious state. He didn't want to get caught up in any cross fire and all!

Petro had murmured another soft prayer for the second fallen egg when more students arrived. One of whom he recognized and remember from the Christmas raid. He would have made a greeting of sorts when the argument (an understatement, really, what with all the death threats) between Jericho and Astra broke out. Now, as grateful Petro was for the egg, threatening a ghoul, and one whom he promised to protect on groanspring, in front of him? Yeah, not a good idea, even if Astra may have been in the wrong.
If he had been faster on the uptake, he would have tried to intervene. But no, Tro only realized the gravity of the situation when Astra began to scream to be let go. Bare feet made their way towards Jericho and Astra, his brown eyes staring hard at the dragon, "I think y' made y'r point."
Then, turning to the fairie, "Y' okay?"
