She shook her head and walked to drop Reeve in a bed.
After a moment she covered him up and left.
She sighed and went to look for Iri, thinking she might try learning what exactly Iri meant by Girl talk if nothing too important came up.

Iri's still sitting there, working with her air spies. She hasn't tried communicating with anyone yet. She's still checking out the status of the rest of the Academy. Her range has widened, too. She's now probing the Ho, Mizu, Taijutsu, and Tsuchi Dojos. No one seems to have touched these areas. At least, nothing of interest sticks out to her spies.

Lina walked over and took a seat near Iri. She was always slightly curious about other people's techniques.

Violet eyes open and Iri looks to Lina. A lopsided, tired smile greets her. She keeps her technique up, calm enough to do so and talk at the same time.
"Thoughts, ma'am?"

"Figured he was too drained to pull the fake asleep then run so I thought I'd see what your up to. As for my thoughts, well Confusion at who's in charge now, what's going on, and figuring there's something, err, someone we never talked about given all the crazy and more pressing stuff that's been going on."
She turned her head away, a minor blush appearing at the last thought.

A small laugh eases its way from Iri's throat. This one entertains her. Makes Iri think it's a shame they haven't had the opportunity to talk in the past. They might already be good friends, had that happened.
"As far as Reeve goes, well, I wouldn't put it past him to do just that. He's stubborn like that. But, I've got air spies everywhere in this place right now, so he won't move without me knowing. Neither will anyone else."
Iri says this all with a smile, but there's weight in the words. Iri fully expects intruders. It's just bound to happen. And she's sure they'll be after Reeve. So she's not taking any chances.
"What's going on? Hell, I'm not gonna pretend to know. I know Nekojiri is definitely the enemy. I had figured it before. Now I know it for a fact. And I figure he's using Dalcon in place of Reeve for that monster Bardiel. It would make sense, anyway. Ishira puzzles me. I think the woman's just confused, but she seems to be dedicated to Nekojiri, so she's dangerous, and not to be trusted."
She had seemed matter-of-fact, nothing more than professional. Now she looks worried, and stressed.
"A leader, someone in charge? No one, I guess. My air spies have been probing every corner of the Academy that they can reach. There's no sign of Kaimen. I think he's really kicked the bucket. Won't be long before I contact Tier and Tutsumi, and see what they think of this mess, and ask Tier what he knows." She furrows her brow for a moment. "In the meantime, though, I'm gonna try my best to keep things together around here."
Finally, Iri smiles again. And it's laced with mischief. "So, what about this someone? Might it be the piece of eye candy you mentioned? I think he's single, you know, and it could be beneficial to have the occasional distraction in all this mess." By the time Iri's done talking, there's an ornrey grin spread across her lips and a light in her eyes.

"You've got your spies, and I've got one of my own when it comes to Reeve, he's off the hook and all from me, but I've got a nice loophole I can exploit with him."
She had a grin on her face. Lina's sword dropped into her lap as something floated by, finally having caught up with them. A few electrical sparks came out of the hole she put in her machine before it left, somehow opening and closing doors as it went.
"I'm guessing the same about Dalcon, what was taken might have been Reeve's mental pattern. As for my sister, I don't know really anymore then you do, she and I don't see each other often."
The dragon girl actually expressed confusion.
"Reeve mentioned Kai was dead so I guess this place will need the help sticking together which I'll agree with" She scratched the back of her head. "As for those two... Neither have given good impressions to me, like ever, doesn't mean I'll blow up at either of them or anything like that though."
The blush deepens at Iri's last question. But Lina being blunt as always replied
"Of course it's him, my dragon side was trying to release itself over him."
She looked especially thoughtful upon hearing Iri thought he was single.
"Think he'd prefer my human form or dragon form?"

Iri blinks. She looks upward with a thoughtful expression and a wing elbow scratches the side of her head.
"Huh. That's a good question. I really don't know. The guy's half dragon, half human, so I would assume he'd go for either one." After another moment of thought, she gives her wings a shrug. "I guess I'd go with whatever form you prefer. If I'm right, he's the kind of guy that will flirt with almost anyone. Doesn't flirt with me, but I'm his teacher."

She blinked at the description and nodded.
"Alright"
She tilted her head to the side.
"Any suggestions for going after him?"

Now Iri looks really confused. She's been monitoring her spies, but now she looks away from them and cocks a brow. How to go after Jin? How to attract a guy? Actually, Iri doesn't know. The one person she's ever had real feelings for went after her. She just went with it, and ended up falling pretty deep.
"Eh, you know, I don't have much experience there. Men confuse me." She narrows her eyes for a moment, thinking of one man in particular. "Yeah, confuse me much more than they think I would confuse them." Thinking of Lina and Jin once more, her expression lightens. "Honestly? Invite him to go drinking sometime. If you show interest that's anything other than professional or simple comradery, I'm sure he'll pick up on it. As silly as he is, Jin's not stupid. I've gathered that much from talking to him."

She giggled a bit.
"Ah, drinking is an excellent idea."

A thought strikes the Fury. She reaches to her side and unties something from her belt. It's a paper bag, with a bottle in it. She holds it up and inspects it, making sure it's intact.
"Speaking of drinking, Jin gave me this. I'm not sure what's in it. I just know it's alcohol. And he said it shouldn't be too much for me." Shrugging her wings again, Iri replaces the bagged bottle. "Maybe I oughta get Reeve drunk. He needs a way to unwind. Hell, I need to unwind. I keep getting stressed out. But, considering the circumstances, that would probably be a stupid idea right about now."

Lina sighed and shrugged.
"Drinking might help him when he wakes up. As for your drinking, it's your choice. I mean both sides probably probably won't try any more today. The demon is the only one I'd expect to show up, though he won't be predictable in any manner usually."

For a moment, Iri has to think about who the demon is. Then her brow shoots up and her mouth forms an "O".
"That jerk. Yeah, if he shows up again, lemme know and I'll have your back."
After that, Iri goes silent. She looks nothing more than thoughtful, but her attention's gone back to her spies. In the case of one of them, she's attempting to contact Tier. No response so far. But, it does take a while for the sounds to travel. And based on her observations, Tier may not trust the thing enough to respond right away.
A sigh, and then Iri gets to her feet. Both hands dust off her white hakama. It's a tradition in her family, but Iri thinks her style of dress to be very inconvenient. Blood, dirt, more blood. And the stains never come out.
"Well, what to do, what to do. Speaking of Jin, I hate to leave him and Ookamimaru at the Kaze Dojo alone. I should be teaching them. And I'm a little paranoid that someone might come along and decided to pull something. I think I'm gonna contact them and have them head this way." She looks at Lina with an inquiring expression. "You don't mind, do you? I would just go back to them, but I can't shake the feeling that I should stick around."

She started laughing at Iri's comment.
"Believe me he's more of a jerk then you know."
She pulled out a photo with Ishira, someone who looked almost identical save younger to the demon, and herself giving the look-alike bunny ears.
"I still need to tear that face from his bones."
"But anyway.... Nah, I don't mind, I'm not exactly in charge around here aside from the stuff I dumped in the basement. I doubt the drunk cares anyway, he's been gone a few days now."
She tilted her head.
"I have something for cleaning those stains if you want"
