It feels like my brain is trying to escape it, right now. A bit of irony, considering the likelyhood - but I'm sure it will pass. The last thing I want the faculty to know is that we've been fighting amongst ourselves. I am relatively sure they frown upon that. She shifted her head slightly, conforming to a more comfortable position as she laid on the ice and pillow. The cold just made her headache worse, but she knew in the long run it was worth it.
How long was I out for? They were still exactly where she'd left them, so she assumed it had only been a brief spell at most.

Feeling Mal's claws over his hand, Jericho glanced at the plague doctor briefly, curious of the notion.
"Not for long. I'd say maybe... five or ten minutes?" he replied. Unfortunately he had to agree with her about meeting with Cricket. Even if FEAR didn't come into play during their scuffle, neither had a battle pass as far as he knew, and this wasn't in the gym. He was fairly certain fights outside of those two bits were against the rules of the academy.

"I will do what I can," Malodore said, after a moment. Feeling Jericho's hand under its own, it squeezed lightly - even though the dragon couldn't hear it, hanging around Riley had made the plague doctor more used to projecting mentally. Thank you. For everything.
"You need food, and drink, and rest. Plenty of rest." It reached for Riley with its free hand, finding her fingers and entwining them with its own. "And I don't think anyone who is not already in this room should enter. I worry about the effects on you."

But.. She winced, before relaxing again. Her fingers slid effortlessly into it's claws, and she took a deep, content breath, before continuing her thought. But, my party. How will I enterain the dozens of people I have invited over if no one's allowed in my dorm? I've spent hours decorating the living room, and everything. The living room was just as undecorated as ever.
She closed her eyes, and waved her free hand in the air. All of the food must be preserved, or we're going to have ants. Was she delirious, or just joking? The lifted expression on her face gestured towards the latter.
Of course I'll get lots of rest. I can't even walk properly. Do you have any idea how bored I am going to get? I'll be driven mad before I can lift myself out of this bed. The thought of it made her shudder.

Jericho smiled faintly at Mal as he felt it squeeze his hand lightly, but soon shifted his attention to Riley. He looked... confused.
"I'll do some firebreathing acts," he joked before shaking his head, "I'll bring you books from the library if you'd like and I could always take you out for a ride. It's not like I haven't carried you around from place to place before."
He grinned at this suggestion.

"Mia cara, you can have the most splendid party in all of Amityville once you're well," Malodore promised, opening its beak in a smile. "The other demons will turn green with envy."

If Riley could have smiled, she would have been grinning at the way they both tried to cheer her up. As it was, she snickered softly, and looked from one to the other. You're both very sweet. I don't know what I would do without you, and I hope I never have to find out. Her eyes blinked once, and again, but they were slow, and threatened to remain closed each time. She fought it.
Tell me more.. An odd, vibrating feeling entered both their minds. .. of your ideas for how you will entertain me while I am incapacitated. Her eyes stayed closed a full second, on that blink.

"I could always bring my dice over for you to play with," Jericho grinned, "Maybe I have some tales from home I can spin for you as well."
"There's quite a bit that we could do for you really."

"I could bring Luce over," Malodore said. "And prepare some delightful brain smoothies. And stay here with you."

Uh huh. Riley slowly nodded at the ideas, but she was only half listening. By the end of Malodore's last words, she was already half asleep.
No.. don't want.. to eat Luce's brains.. She muttered, before her head fell just slightly to one side. She hadn't blacked out, she'd just been lulled to sleep by the immense show of love that was being poured at her. It was too comforting for her tired body to resist.

For a moment, Jericho looked concerned as Riley drifted off again, but it didn't look like she had blacked out this time. Watching her there, he smiled softly and relaxed.
"Maybe things will turn out alright in the end after all," he said quietly, "We just need to stick with her and keep up our support."
At least he hoped that was all it'd take..

"Si..." Malodore gently traced down her cheek with the back of one claw, then turned to face Jericho once more. "I will get my things, I think. I can produce salves that will aid in healing. And I believe I will stay here, for a time... you?"

"I'll be staying awhile. I was planning on sticking around here until she got better anyway," the dragon said in return. It would be easier to help out Riley with the Doctor around. This way they could at least take shifts more or less. Though, he thought it might not be a bad idea to bring Gimbal to help keep things in order as well.
"I think I may bring my Kobold later.. he might help us out a bit if we need the extra hand."

Malodore nodded. "Va bene. Then I will go and fetch my things, and Luce as well, I think... then perhaps you, too, can go? I am loathe to leave her alone entirely."
It paused, then nodded to the dragon. "Thank you again, for your help. And for stopping her..."

Jericho nodded slowly at that, "Yeah. Not a bad idea."
He turned to look over Riley once more, who seemed to be sleeping rather peacefully there. His guess was that she wouldn't be awakening for awhile now.
"That's not something you should really thank me for. I'm just a dragon protecting his treasure is all," he said with a faint smile.
