 Tarik-Khaldun Sayyid "My only value is not just my face."_________________________________________Words. They confused Tarik and he got tired of staring and hoping he would magically know what they were trying to tell him. He had two sheets of lined paper where he wrote his name over and over again throughout the sheet an he was certain that he had his name memorized but he only memorized the strokes and not so much the letters. He could make out some of the letters in his name in the books he would attempt to read, but that was a very limited amount of letters and it was only "Tarik" that he knew how to write. Not his entire whole name.
Tarik sighed and set his pencil down. He wouldn't be impressing Angela. He probably should go ask for her he.... he.... he.................help._________________________________________ "My greatness is revealed only when I'm naked."

Angela.Tremaine My heart is like the ocean, it gets in the way
So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name...
Despite saying she was going to English, Angela headed for the library because it was early yet, and she still wanted to find Tarik. She had his gifts in her tote and wanted to give them to him and tell him he'd been brave during the fight because he had been (hell, he was the only one willing to get close to that thing--everyone else just shot at it from a distance) because she was assuming he'd be feeling depressed about his arm falling off.
The library tended to be their little meeting place so she went there hoping to find him. And...sure enough, there he was. Angela smiled slightly and went to join him, sliding into the chair next to him.
"Hey, what are you working on?" she asked, looking down at the paper where he'd written his name over and over again. "Oh, your handwriting has improved quite a lot. You've been practicing, haven't you?"You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

Tarik-Khaldun Sayyid "My only value is not just my face."_________________________________________Just when he was thinking of her, she showed up. "Ah, thank you Angela? So you understand my--- Angela!?" Tarik cried out. He shoved all his materials off his desk and papers just went flying. Tarik coughed and hoped she would forget all that happened and that she couldn't see the pile of papers and books on the other side of the table. "Ahem... practicing? Me? I only need to do one thing once and I can get it perfect instantly." Tarik smirked.
Who was he kidding? She probably wouldn't be fooled but it wouldn't hurt to try, right? "So, shall we continue with the reading lessons? I may not have mastered it yet, but it will happen soon." Tarik said to her.
And then it clicked. He frowned and realized that she wasn't looking all too good. "Angela? Should you not be resting in the infirmary? " Tarik asked as he quickly got up and pulled a chair for her to sit. "If you push yourself, it won't make the healing process any faster."
Crap. Now Tarik was starting to sound like the pharaoh whenever he would fret when Tarik used to train for battle everyday. _________________________________________ "My greatness is revealed only when I'm naked."

Angela.Tremaine My heart is like the ocean, it gets in the way
So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name...
Angela was a little astonished by Tarik's reaction, but just shook her head slightly. Today was clearly a full moon or something. Everyone was acting crazy. "Right. Of course you can. And yes, we do need to work more on your reading because you've been skipping out on lessons and yes, I have noticed. Incidentally, I thought I should inform you that we are meeting outside under the usual tree during free period so we can remedy that and if you are not there, I will come find you and drag you there."
"And as you can see, I'm just a little injured so please don't make me do that."
She sighed and flopped into the chair, wincing as she did so. Ugh. No flopping. Flopping was painful. "Anyway, I'll be fine. I'm practically used to being hurt by now. In fact, the doctor is probably sick of seeing me by now. I seem to get hurt every time there's some sort of monster or other disaster at the school." She frowned slightly. "You know, I'm beginning to think I might be slightly reckless." She smiled slightly. "Anyway, I saw you fighting that thing over the weekend. You were, um, very brave."
"I was, you know, impressed. A little." Gah! So embarrassing! She looked away, and started rummaging through her bag, setting it on the table. "I got this for you, by the way. I...just...um...yes."
She pushed a thin white box toward him. "I hope you like it. I read that things like this were--are worn in your homeland.'
((it's a pendant with an ankh))You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

Tarik-Khaldun Sayyid "My only value is not just my face."_________________________________________Tarik gave a nod. "I see. Then I shall meet you by that tree on my free time." Tarik said to her with a grin. She sat down in the chair and he noticed that wince. Well, he had to make sure he didn't keep her up and about too often. Which is why her teaching him how to read was the perfect activity since it kept her sitting and not hurting. He sat down beside her as she started to talk.
He was about to tune her out when he realized that she was praising him! Wait, wait, wait! Repeat all of that again! Well, he heard, but he wanted to hear her again. He couldn't help but grin. "What was that, Angela? I didn't quite hear you the first time?" Tarik said. She probably wouldn't repeat it, but eh... it was worth a shot. He leaned closer to her so he could be sure he would be able to 'hear' her words.
However, he that plan was ruined when she handed him a white box. Tarik blinked and took it from her. "Ah? You got a gift for me? Whatever for?" Tarik asked. Could it be that she really was falling for his irresistable charm? Well, finally! It took her long enough! But that thought aside, he was very moved that she even got him a gift. He opened it to find that it was a pendant and there was an ankh too. It hit him with a wave of homesickness and he wanted to return to the pharaoh's side more than anything at the moment and resume his sacred duty to protect him.
Just what was Tarik doing here?
"Thank you." Tarik said to Angela. "I will wear it. Your taste is not so bad. Of course I would not expect less from tne I chose to be my beloved." _________________________________________ "My greatness is revealed only when I'm naked."

Angela shook her head, smiling sligtly. He was such...an idiot. She watched him open the present, wondering if it was a mistake when she saw his expression. She reached out and touched his cheek briefly. "I said you were brave and that I was impressed. And I got you a gift because I want to show that I...appreciate. That you're here. And such." Oh lord....awkward. So...awkward. "I mean, if you hadn't run in and started attacking it very well could have just come over and started trying to eat me. Of course some teacher actually did that anyway. But still."
"In the end, you know, I could have been killed but I wasn't since it was distracted with fighting you and all. So you probably saved my life. A little. So thank you."
Angela reached to take the pendant out of the box and unfastened it, reaching over to clasp it around his neck. "Of course I have good taste," she teased. "And you know, you're not supposed to choose a beloved. Love is something that usually just happens."You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

Tarik-Khaldun Sayyid "My only value is not just my face."_________________________________________Oh? She really did repeat it. Well, all it did was inflate his ego a bit more, but it felt nice to be praised. So he wasn't losing his touch then! Good! For a moment he thought he was since he was used to being showered with a ton of praise and gifts! "Well, it was all in a day's work." Tarik laughed. Not really. His arm was more helpful than Tarik himself. He would have to find a way to keep them attached without people grabbing it and throwing it around.
When Angela attempted to clasp the pendant around his neck, he found it the perfect time to gently pull her close to him. He had to make sure not to rest his head too much on her shoulder or crush her in any way since she was kind of small and he had to be careful. "Thank you, Angela. I couldn't forgive myself if something happened to you. That you are more injured than me is more failure than anything else. If anything happens again, I swear to Ra that I will make sure no harm comes to you." Tarik told her.
"But I am relieved that you will be okay."_________________________________________ "My greatness is revealed only when I'm naked."

Angela.Tremaine My heart is like the ocean, it gets in the way
So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name...What? What!? Angela's face went hot. He was...why was he hugging her!? He didn't really...Tarik usually wasn't affectionate. He'd kind of given her a man-hug once but he always seemed so awkward and...augh. Her hands wanted to flail to show her flustered...ness. But it was very difficult to flail when one was being hugged.
"I--no! I mean, you shouldn't feel guilty because I mean, I got hurt before you even showed up and you couldn't really prevent that. You didn't fail at all. Really, you didn't!" she babbled. "Ah...I mean, you know." Angela sighed, trying to collect herself a little. She pulled away and looked up at him, face still warm. "Don't feel like you failed, alright? It was just one of those things that couldn't really be prevented. No one's fault, really. Well, except the monster. And the teacher who bit me."
"Seriously, though. Don't worry about me. I always manage to pull through somehow."You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

Tarik-Khaldun Sayyid "My only value is not just my face."_________________________________________Tarik couldn't help but snort when she started babbling. He released her. Of course they took too much time chatting and he didn't get much reading done, but it wasn't entirely a waste of time. Tarik slid back and got up from his chair.
"You're wasting time asking me not to worry. Usually worry comes because they care. Avoid recklessness and stop getting yourself hurt. It makes the security guards look lazy. If there is any trouble, you are free to come to me, but don't try to handle things by yourself." Tarik told her. "I did not defeat that monster alone and... there was a lot of help. I doubt much can be done by one person." If Angela was anything like Tarik, she probably tuned out his words, and he figured he probably was just ranting since Angela might have the sense to know this, but he wanted to make doubly sure.
"Ah, it is time for class. You must be going or I will have to give you detention." Tarik said to her."Would you like me to help you to class?"
As for the books and papers on the floor, he would have to clean that up later._________________________________________ "My greatness is revealed only when I'm naked."

Angela.Tremaine My heart is like the ocean, it gets in the way

It was Angela's turn to snort when Tarik implied he cared about her. She was fairly certain he was only going on about the marriage thing because of some bizarre sense of duty and not because of any genuine affection for her. Not that she was taking it personally or anything but she wasn't exactly banking on him sprouting rainbows and spewing true love in her general direction anytime soon.
"Oh I see," Angela teased, smirking at him as she stood. "You just worry it makes you look bad if I get a bit banged up? I'll remember that, and try not to make your job too awfully difficult going forward. I have to admit, I'm not the greatest at not getting into trouble, though."
She stood and took her bag, surprised by his...modesty? She had never thought modesty to really be one of his virtues. "Don't be ridiculous. You did plenty. There's an old proverb--a single grain of rice can tip the scales. One man is sometimes the only difference between victory and defeat. So the role you played was still very important."
She grabbed her bag and pulled it over her shoulder, shooting him a smile. "I can make it on my own. Don't forget to meet me during free period. I found a book I think you might like--it's a little more advanced the Dr. Seuss but it may hold your interest more. Sword fight, pirates, giants, villains, screaming eels. You'll like it."
She waved and started out of the library. "I'll see you then."

As much as he hated class and how tempted he was to just stay at the dorms because of a broken toe, he wanted to make his uncle proud. And that meant he had to pass his classes with flying colors. He certainly wasn’t going to do that, slacking off the way he was, so he limped to the library to study up. He picked up a few algebra books and plopped down at an empty table, propping his feet up on an empty chair.
With a long yawn, he started flipping through one of the books, wondering how in the world someone could focus on something as boring as numbers. Wasn’t it enough that he could count? It seemed unnecessary to add letters and formulas to the mix, since he doubted he would use it when he was blowing someone’s brains out with a gun. … Unless he wanted to find out the velocity at which the brain matter would travel.

Ihsan.al.Seif 
Ihsan managed to miss Economics, which was a little disappointing because the teacher was an interesting monster-person that he wanted to learn more about just because monster people were sort of rare. At least he assumed they were. Sadly, however, it would have to wait until next time. For the time being, he decided to go to his favorite place in the school--the library.
When he arrived, the first thing he noticed was Malade. Actually, no. The first thing he noticed was the smell of books--a smell he had come to actually like quite a lot. The second thing he noticed was Malade. The third thing he noticed was Malade's feet. Because he had bird-feet, which Ihsan found very interesting. His tail swished against the back of his legs quickly the moment he saw them. He also noticed one was bandaged.
Ihsan temporarily forgot about reading because he found it quite distressing that Malade's foot was injured. Instead, he went straight to Malade, gently picked up his feet, sat in the chair they were propped on and started to rub the injured one carefully. It was very important to ensure one was nicely relaxed when the body was trying to heal so obviously a foot rub was needed. Malade was probably incredibly tense and in pain so Ihsan had no doubt he would be grateful for the efforts.
"Hello, Malade."

Malade was stuck on a problem, trying and failing to solve it in his head. Ugh, numbers. But before he could even reach to get some paper and a pencil out, he felt someone lifting his feet. He jumped up and dropped the book, about to kick whoever it wa-- ... What. It was... him? He stared at the ho-- weird guy for a moment, very confused as to what he was doing.
He stiffened for a moment, having no clue what was going on. "A-aahhhh... N-n-no!" He took a long time to realize what he was doing, and when he finally put two and two together, he grabbed the book that he dropped and used it to cover his face, knowing that it must have been bright red. He wasn't sure if he had fallen asleep and was dreaming, or if it was real, but either way, he was definitely enjoying this. If it was real, he kind of wanted him to stop because he was horribly embarrassing... but eh.
"Mm... H-h-he-hello..." He barely managed to stutter out, relaxing and trying to enjoy the foot massage without freaking out. He definitely was not passing this chance up. It was a little weird when Angela violated his feet, but he definitely didn't mind him doing it.

"No?" Ihsan asked, continuing to rub Malade's feet. Why no? He wasn't supposed to say hello? But then Malade said hello right after. Ihsan was so confused. So he changed the subject. "What are you working on?" he asked, glancing at the books in front of Malade. It looked like he was working on algebra. Ah! Malade also had Algebra. But apparently a different period since Ihsan had never seen him in class.
A pity. Algebra with Reilynn, Professor Hayden and Malade would be fun.
"And what happened to your foot? How did you injure yourself?" He worked his thumbs carefully down the soles of Malade's feet. They felt...weird. Dry, scaly--which, of course, they were. But it was interesting. Ihsan was reminded of the falcons often used for hunting, where he was from.

Malade bit his lip, trying his best to keep his mouth shut when Ihsan was rubbing his feet. He paused for a moment, trying to figure out a way to answer his question without speaking. Ah! He pointed at the title of the book he was using to cover his face, sure that it said algebra somewhere on it. Of course, he wasn't working on it anymore. He wasn't sure he could focus on much of anything after this.
He contemplated how to answer his next question, but quickly got distracted by the massage. "Ah! ....I-I... f-f-fell... outofatree," He tried to answer as best as he could, having a hard time speaking normally. The thought that, if this wasn't a dream, it wasn't going to get any further than this disappointed him, but this was still the best way to rest between classes that he could have thought of. He wanted to ask more about him, mostly his name, but he couldn't really talk at all at the moment.
