Keeping an eye on Riley, Jericho blinked as he picked up a few coherent words and terms amongst the muddled mass of images. Both left him rather curious on the context as to what she was referring to exactly. The latter he just figured was something along the lines of breaking her mother's favorite vase... or whatever.
In any case, it seemed she wasn't going to be waking any time soon. Figuring it'd be best to fly on back, he nudged her gently to try and get her to move a bit.
"Hey, let's go on back to the school" he said before trying to carefully pick her up in his claws. There was no way she could ride on his back while he flew. Once he had a good hold on her, he went on and took flight to head back.

If Jericho had attempted to wake Riley up just a few moments ago, it would have actually worked. Now, however, Riley had delved deep into a sleep that alarmingly allowed her to remain unconscious even as she was gathered up in his front claws, and taken up into the air. She curled up in the claws, burying her face into the warmth of the dragon to keep the wind away. Too cold. Christmas. No more please. Her dreams had taken a much more obvious turn, and she curled her body up even tighter while in them.
Still, she managed to sleep undisturbed through the entire flight back, though she would later curse inwardly at missing a chance to see the view from above one last time.

As her dreams took another, more obvious turn, Jericho tried to hurry on up so she wouldn't be exposed to the cold wind blowing by as much. Before too long, he landed at the gates of the school, carefully touching down on his hind legs so he wouldn't crush Riley on accident.
He went on to shift back to his humanoid form, still holding onto the girl in the process. Once that was all done, he made his way to the demon dorms and wandered on through the halls to try and find her room. He eventually did find the right place, thanks to the erasure board sitting outside that had her name on it.
"Riley?" he called, trying to get her to wake up so she could let herself into the room... as well as give him his jacket back.

While the flight had somehow not disturbed her, being released and then carried into the warmer dorms somehow brought her to a sense of half-roused consciousness. However, it was only enough to wrap her arms around his neck to keep from falling. When her name was called, she cringed away from the sound, her face contorting in unhappiness. Her eyes remained closed, but she managed to mumble a much more awake sounding grunt of a word.
What.

"We're at your room now," he said quietly, having noticed the expression she made when he spoke at first, "Could you let us in?"
If she was conscious enough to do so, it'd be rather convenient.

Bilgebuckets. She cursed, reaching a hand out lazily and sliding it down into her chest armor. A short dig later, she pulled her key out of her cleavage, and practically threw it at his chest before curling up again.
Don't touch th' Cthulhu. She mumbled sleepily, before the vibrating started up again.

Jericho couldn't help but stare as she produced a key from her cleavage. Is that were she kept her belongings? Shaking his head to himself, he caught the key and went on to unlock the door as carefully as he could. Once they were in, he looked around for the Cthulu she mentioned, but didn't spot anything initially.
Her room was rather different from his own, but it suited her quite a bit. Taking in the surroundings for a moment, he went on over to her bed to lay her down. After setting her key on the nightstand, he glanced back at her, wondering if he should try to take his jacket back.
For now, he decided to let her rest in peace. He could come back in the morning to fetch it.
Smiling faintly, he watched her for a few moments, then went on to go back to his room.

It was probably a bad sign that Jericho didn't see the Cthulhu caged up in a dark corner of the living room. That meant the Cthulhu was aware of his presence, and biding it's time. Or, it could mean the Cthulhu was free. That would be the worst option.
Sure enough, if Jericho did notice the cage on his way out, he'd notice it was empty. This did not bode well at all.
Riley just barely opened her eyes when she felt the softness of her bed underneath her. She saw Jericho at her nightstand, and turned slightly, before her eyes closed once more. When he started to walk out of the bedroom, she pulled the covers over her and a soft, very distant sounding thought barely reached him on his way out.
Thanks.
Within seconds, she had fallen back asleep.
