Again, Sachi was given more to contemplate. There was so much to understand about the world: including from where she had come. But she didn't feel like thinking about it; she was about to learn from Mr. Tsuda Tadakatsu.
"Do you think he can teach me how to use daggars? I want to use daggars." she said smiling up at Bukotsu as he took her hand and led her to the Greenhouse.

Kaia looked smiled realizing the aura of the place had changed and it was clam now. She decided she was not needed. " Come on Eden. Let's go back."
But.... What about..? Eden started
" Don't worry about it, he's not here." Kaia said. And they started out.

Tomoro gratefully took the box, and smiled very softly, still tired. "I... will... thank you." As Bukotsu and Sachi walked off, Tomoro closed her eyes, and backed up slowly, collapsing against the bark of one of the many trees. A few of the seams on her dress had snagged, ripping apart, and she looked down at the gift Bukotsu gave her.
Personally, she didn't want it. Gifts didn't change anything. She just wanted to know that she was wanted by someone, and that was enough. Certainly Draconis had planned to use her for something... but what? What use could the girl with glass eyes be? Tomoro lay there against the trunk for a bit, contemplating the situation; she did NOT want to move. Although Bukotsu had fixed her up pretty good, her gashes and bruises were beginning to sting and hurt, as the medicine was losing its effect. Tomoro rubbed her temples as she lifted her legs up and put her head agianst her knees. Liuz could go on if he wanted to... but she just didn't have the strength anymore.

"Miss Kourosai..." The smile that Liuz carried on his pale face was different somehow. "I don't know you very well, but I get the impression that you are a very capable young woman." It looked as if he wanted to kneel down too, but the difficulty was written in his eyes. "It would be a shame for such a unique, capable, young lady such as yourself, to let any difficulties suffocate her to the point where she just gave up on herself." He offered his hand to help her up, "Sometimes, we all need a little help, even if it seems like we're the only ones in the world who can fix things. My only hope is that you can one day ask help of me, because I would very much like to be considered your friend."

Tomoro looked up, a few strands of hair in front of her pale grey eyes. She smiled lightly, and took his hand, carefully pulling herself up as not to topple herself or Liuz over. She sighed lightly, and then dropped it, nodding slowly. "Yes... I suppose I must ask help in the situation I'm in now. I don't really have a choice..."
He's... different than the other rich snobs I've met. she thought, keeping her gaze low at the ground. He's not like the rich people I've met when I traveled with dad... nor mom. Wait... what am I saying? I don't even know if he's wealthy... I'm just making assumptions again. After a small pause of silence, only in voice, since crickets and birds were chirping in time with eachother around them, Tomoro then took Liuz's hand once again, and brushed the excess dirt off with her spare left hand. For some reason, her scar had become even more visible, but she paid no attention to it, that was the least of her worries at the time. She needed to get somewhere besides against a tree.
"Mr. Zarrek... may I ask where we are headed? I honestly have no idea." Tomoro HATED using last names, but since Liuz did so... she figured she would too. It was never good to seem too friendly, and plainly, she still didn't know what Liuz could do. He could even have been faking his injury, sort of a police undercover thing. Somehow, though, it didn't seem like it; his limbs, eyes, and skin pretty much explained that he must have been bedridden for a long time.

"I was only hoping to take you somewhere less secluded. It has been my experiance that when you've been attacked, thats just what you should do." Liuz seemed a bit foggy at the question. He had been wanting to take her to the infirmary, but it seemed the other student had taken care of things pretty well. Tomoro did look exhausted though. "Maybe if you ate something you would feel better?" He paused a moment and laughed inwardly, "Please, you may certainly call me Liuz. My formality is more of a habbit I find it hard to break from rather than something I expect from others."
There were very few things Liuz considered to be good about his disabilities. However, if he really had to sit and think about it, he could come up with one answer; Tolerance. Liuz rarely saw an individual by the surface of their appearance. He didn't see hair colour or eye colour or how pretty their dress was. They could be covered in dirt and kissing the ground and he still treated them with the same amount of respect as he would give a queen. Liuz judged a person on individual character.
This habbit of his sometimes had a way of backfiring. Most royalty and people with status had a rather improper character. Liuz tended to offend these types. It often got him more trouble than he needed. But being a solitary person for so long will teach you which friends you should keep and which are not worth your time.
If Tomoro was half the person Liuz thought she was, then she was indeed a friend worth keeping.

"I suppose... food would be a good idea." Tomoro said softly. She nodded silently, and took a hesitant step toward the campus, which seemed so far away. "Liuz... if I may ask... where... did you come from?" Silence was deafening in this forest, and not even chirps and calls of the wild could dull them out. Of course, Tomoro was used to deafening silence, being in her father's lab half the time, where the only sounds made were the cutting of flesh, sighs, and objects rattling in pockets.
There wasn't anything for her to say, really; she would thank him later, but she couldn't explain the entire situation to Liuz about what happened... that would be too awkward. Who was actually able to say that some enemy forced a tracking machine into their stomach, and it would backfire because she was an experiment conducted on by her father...?
It was too freaky. Tomoro just decided to stay silent, and pulled out an extra eyepatch out of her pouch, stretching the elastic and putting it around her head, directly upon her left eye.

"Then food you shall have. I shall escort you to the cafeteria." Liuz seemed perfectly fine until Tomoro asked about his home. The question seemed to catch Liuz off guard. Where did he come? It wasn't a difficult question. His home life had not been an abusive experiance. Why was it so difficult to answer that simple question?
Perhaps it was because Liuz had left that part of his history behind him?
Perhaps it was because he, himself had trust issues?
Perhaps its was because he just didn't like who he was then?
Either way, Liuz would have been a hypocrit to avoid answering, so he did. "I come from a place far in the northern countries where there was always snow." he smiled, "I remember my nanny used to tell me a story when I was younger that my parents built a snow baby and brought it to life, and thats how they got me." He laughed inwardly at the jive towards his albinism. When he was young, he really had believed that story. When he got upset or hurt he would close his eyes and wish fervently to just melt away.
"My family is an ancient line of magi, we've lived on the same estate for generations. Living in the same home as my great great grandparents has turned my mannerisms a bit towards the old fashioned. I guess thats why I seem so... uptight." He laughed again, "I hope you'll forgive my quirks Miss Kourosai, I fear they tend to... well... intimidate really isn't quite the word..." He thought a moment, "More like give people the wrong impression of my character." He began walking towards the campus, "You can certainly ask me anything you wish, if it will help you feel better about confiding in me."
[[we can go ahead and move over there if you want, when you get bacl ^-^]]

Courtney looked at her acceptance letter and frowned. This didn't look like the front gates...it looked like...she was lost. She sat in the middle of the path and sweatdropped.
"...Oh noes...not again. Cuz will kill me for sure this time..."
She stood up again, looking for someone to help her figure out where she had ended up.

She stood up again, looking for someone to help her figure out where she had ended up. As Kaia set on her way out she noticed a person who had obviously just got here. She turned to talk to her and make sure everything was o.k. " Ummm.... You o.k, you seem awfully worried." Kaia said. Duh....!Eden retorted through telepathy. She obviously stumbled in here on accident, and no one knows about this place!Eden! Shut up! Kaia thought back to him. I'm trying to make a new friend here.

[[oh, it's 'offlimits' xDD]]
Layla stopped for a moment, looking around; it had suddenly become night. She sighed, reaching up to her eyes and taking off her sunglasses; she hadn't taken them off yet. After, they continued walking; for some reason, Layla felt an eerie aura around this place. It was so strong, she couldn't even ignore it. Her eyes sparkled in the dark, resembling a jewel more, at that moment, then ever before; was it something about this area that made it do so.
"Kuro-san," she said, looking around. "Do I want to know why it's dark suddenly?" she asked, feeling that she couldn't keep the question in any longer. No matter the answer, she knew she'd get to the belltower somehow.
