At the mere mention of being put into a jar, Astra seemed to shut up very quickly. She couldn't think of anything more embarrassing then that! What was it with everyone sticking faeries into jars?! Most never remembered to put air holes in them either. Oh, her poor, poor cousin....
She kept quiet for the duration of Jericho's lecture, even when she was eventually let go, falling to the ground with a thud, and then walking towards the pile with the air of a disciplined child, casting a glare at Mac for comparing her to a weasel and even daring to suggest that horrid idea. she would have to get him back later. It didn't take long for her to select two of them, and with a little difficulty she carried them outside the door
if anyone asked..she was gonna make something up

She took the egg gratefully, offering Gimbal a pat on the head as she carefully held onto, not wishing for another accident. Still ignoring Mac - and effectively everything he said although she did twitch when he mentioned something about demons - her attention was now focused on another situation as Jericho, for some reason, started (for lack of a better word) raging.
Now, she was torn between helping the small faerie - despite her being in the wrong because she was acting like a gnome sneaking around right now and she looked frightened - and not helping her - because, hey, its Jericho's room and its technically his rules right now (plus its Jericho). She couldn't help giving Gimbal another pat on his head to sort of comfort the poor thing before looking back up again.
She had sort of decided that enough was enough when Petro stepped in; she heaved a sigh of relief at his words; he really was reliable. He proved it during the Christmas raid, he's proving it again.
"Petro's right," She offered softly with a sheepish smile, "I think the faerie got your point." She then watched as the short student left the room - how did she manage to carry two eggs?! - before turning to stare at the treasure pile.
"Is that my plushie in there?"

Letting out a breath as Petro approached, he finally let go of Astra. For a moment, he gingerly rubbed his chest as the shouting did not make the healing wound there feel all to nice. He glanced between him and Lizzy for the moment, then watched the faerie critically as she snagged her eggs and made her exit.
Still a bit in a sour mood, he shifted his wings in irritation, then looked back at the pink haired demon as she mentioned the plushie.
"Yes. That's it alright," he said in a much more normal tone now. He was slowly cooling down.
With the tension seemingly easing down, Gimbal relaxed some as well. Though, his eyes were darting nervously from the red dragon, to the fleeing Astra.

Huni Pi Petro had murmured another soft prayer for the second fallen egg when more students arrived. One of whom he recognized and remember from the Christmas raid. He would have made a greeting of sorts when the argument (an understatement, really, what with all the death threats) between Jericho and Astra broke out. Now, as grateful Petro was for the egg, threatening a ghoul, and one whom he promised to protect on groanspring, in front of him? Yeah, not a good idea, even if Astra may have been in the wrong.
If he had been faster on the uptake, he would have tried to intervene. But no, Tro only realized the gravity of the situation when Astra began to scream to be let go. Bare feet made their way towards Jericho and Astra, his brown eyes staring hard at the dragon, "I think y' made y'r point."
Then, turning to the fairie, "Y' okay?" ((wahh I'm sorry I didn't see your post! DX)) At the sound of a familiar voice, Astra turned to see none other then pedro, who was even sticking up for her. The thought alone made her feel much better at her failed thieving attempt. "I'm fine, thankyou!" she beamed, adjudging her hold on the eggs in her arms. "I just wasn't sneaky enough..I wont try that again" she cast a glance over her back, then turned back with a huff. 'I should have planned it a bit better...oh well" She wasn't about to admit what she did was wrong either; oh course it was wrong! But why would that have stopped her from trying? It never stopped anyone else.

Adjusting his hold on his own egg, Petro stepped back to give Jericho his space. The other boil wasn't going to make anything of it, and thus neither would Petro.
At Lizzy's question, Tro quirked a brow, wondering what she meant by her plushie. "Something of y'rs?" he asked with a tilt of his head before hearing Astra's response.
He gave Astra a small smile, relieved that she wasn't hurt. The smile got a bit wider when she stated she wouldn't be making another attempt. "Y'd better not. Y' weren't really good at the sneaky bit," he added honestly, it was just an observation but it could easily be misconstrued as an insult. "Lemme help y' carry those," he offered to Astra. Then, as if remembering something, he turned once again towards Jericho, "'M gonna help clean up the two fallen eggs first." he was a monster of his word after all.

"Ah, not really," Lizzy chuckled at Petro's question, pointing at the stuffed toy sitting in the pile of what she assumed was Jericho's treasure, "I made it, but I gave it to Jericho as a gift some time ago, so really, its his now."
A pause followed as she smiled fondly at the boil as he offered to clean up the mess left behind by the broken eggs, "If everyone was a gentleman like you, Petro, I reckon people would get along more often." While it wasn't meant to poke at anyone, she realized right after saying it that it applied to a certain Reaper in the room. Subconsciously, she glanced in his direction with a frown before turning back to Jericho, her frown replaced by a delighted look; she was internally gleeing that he actually liked her gift that much, and it was (accidentally) showing on her face.
"Well, I think I might have something to complete the look," She couldn't help grinning as she said that, pointing at the plushie in the pile, "I'll bring it over next time... I think you'll probably like it."

Riley, having lounged quite comfortably on Jericho's treasure (like a boss), watched the events that unfolded, and said nothing. Her eyes caught every moment, but she made no move to act. If anything, she was enjoying the spectacle. Jericho was a fierce and beautiful creature when he got angry - it just wasn't very good for him. Or Astra, for that matter.
Still, she loved to watch it. He would make a fine enforcer one day. Especially if he enraged like that in his dragon form..
And now Riley was lost to world domination daydreams.

Jericho's eyes narrowed as Astra mentioned she wasn't sneaky enough. Though, he didn't say anything of it. Turning towards Petro, he was reminded of the little mess made in his room from fallen eggs. The faerie had made him forget about that at first.
"Oh right. Almost forgot about that.." he mumbled before going to fetch some towels. He didn't have any sources of water in his room, but they could at least start by wiping up the goop. Once he had some in hand, he handed one to Tro, then went to one of the eggs to start trying to get it cleaned up.
Kneeling down, he glanced up at Lizzy, raising a brow at her comment.
"Hm? What's that?" he asked, having a curious look in his eyes. He seemed rather intrigued with whatever she had in mind.

Viveca took the eggs and thanked him, her interest perking up as he spoke.
"Oh, a maul, that's great." She was always up for a good maul crawl on the weekends. She liked to replenish her skirt and corsets stock from time to time. After she found someone to go with her, anyway. She privately hoped there'd be a party soon. She was looking forward to some same aged interactions, with minimal adult supervision. Her family functions were nice and all, but there weren't many others in her family (or their circle) that were her age, and those who were seemed more interested in their complexion than anything interesting.
"Well...thank you again for the eggs," she said. "It was nice to meet you."
The room was quickly filling up with more people, obviously interested in having a nice reptilian helper, and Viveca was quickly becoming interested in getting out of the stuffy room. She much preferred her big open spaces, like the skies, to cavernous dorm rooms.
Viveca would have waved a goodbye to the dragon, but as her arms were currently occupied with steadying two fragile eggs (and after watching someone else drop there's, she was determined not to break hers as well).
"Bye," she called briefly, as she wove her way out of the door. "I guess I'll see you around campus."

Petro gave Lizzy an impressed grin, then remembered his offer to a certain vetala, "Y're real talented. Y' should join Amrita's Arts and Crafts club." At her mention of him being a gentleman, Tro just looked confused. He didn't consider himself a gentleman, just a boil behaving the way his mama taught him. "Dunno how that would work but if y' say so," he shrugged before accepting the proffered towel from Jericho with his free hand. He carefully set down his own egg, out of the way but within his sight. That was his now and he wasn't going to let anything happen to it. He got down on his knees, using the larger shell fragments to scoop up whatever goop it could before using the towel.
