((I guess we're good to go. Not much Dalcon can do, he already screwed himself over pretty much XD))

(( Okay! ^_^ By the way, I assume Dalcon is now unconscious. Suffocation issue. But if he isn't, then I'll edit. ))
Jin doesn't waste time. His flight instincts kick in and he takes off like a fish in water. To see him fly this way is interesting. His body almost tries to do a snake motion like his dragon form. It doesn't look too strange, considering his height and lean body type. But it's not something he can help, either. Years of habit, maybe. Neither does Jin seem to strain. All of the air he might need is stored within the energy barriers trailing behind him. And he has enough practice controlling the flow of air to keep it from escaping into the vacuum and being wasted.
The dragon man reaches Dalcon ahead of Lina. He doesn't touch him right away. He's worried about the boy's Rai. If he's managed to stay conscious, maybe still holding his breath, then he could attack using his element. And his element could easily disperse Jin's orbs of air. That might be a wee bit of a problem.
Once he's confirmed the boy's unconscious, Jin pulls from a spare orb. A snake like current of air, aided in keeping its form by a harmless layer of energy, wraps the boy up. It's a restraint measurement, keeping his arms and legs pinned and otherwise immobilized. He positions himself behind the boy and wraps one arm around his upper arms and chest to keep him from floating away. His other hand motions another orb to cover his face and allow him to breathe. It should just be a few moments before Jin knows whether or not he'll have to revive the kid. Just in case he revives and tries to fry the dragon, Jin sends his other four orbs farther out into the vacuum, where they should be safe but easy to recover.

Lina kept floating towards the two. She twisted her body cautiously. Managing to start herself into a lazy spin while keeping her motion constant. She clutched the second concentrated Rai orb close now. She was being cautious, unsure if she could even manage any additional Rai techniques without air, the orbs were holding together with what air they held, but she was still finding herself struggling.
Her eyes wandered to Jin and Dalcon, making sure the kid didn't have anything else up his sleeve. As she drifted closer she focused on the Rai sphere under her feet, splitting it into a very small orb and a larger orb both repelling each other enough to stop her movement before the small orb fizzled.
She glanced at Jin, she could manage her own motions out here at least, but the dragon already had gotten the idea that he would need to bring Dalcon back in. She glanced back at the strange growths on the edge of the cargo container hallways. One had been there before, the organic looking construction on the underside, but the other created by dalcon was drawing her attention, the kid hadn't done bad on distance and used up a lot of the material making the wing for his escape in the end.

((Sorry about that,i totally expected you guys to go on with him passed out XD))
The boy was hanging limp in the vaccum, apparently out of it, though there were still brief crackles of foxfire-infused electricity arcing from his body.

(( *salutes* Okie doke! ))
Seeing nothing wrong, and getting no signs of rebellion, Jin looks down to Lina and gives her a nod. He checks the boy one more time, making sure the air supply is working correctly. Then he kind of twists and begins to make his way toward Lina, keeping the boy tucked under his arm and occasionally checking on him. Jin looks like he's swimming through the strange space. The boy just kind of trails along. The four air orbs follow, still keeping their distance.
Jin points to the big hole Dalcon created. He's asking if that's how they'll re-enter.

Lina shook her head in the negative. She started releasing several smaller repelling orbs before her technique ended itself. She past Jin, having angled herself down towards the small deck they had exited from.
She didn't want anyone in that hallway till she managed to seal the hole and disarm the traps Dalcon managed to avoid through his unique exit; That unfortunately meant she'd have to lock Dalcon in one of the normal guest rooms for the time being.
She tucked and rolled as she came in too quickly without factoring in the sudden pull of gravity as she was within eight feet of the deck. She impacted roughly, rolling once then sliding a short distance before her feet made contact and she magnetized herself to the ground. She stood up quickly and tapped a few buttons next to the door and making an artificial barrier bubble spread out from the door, making an air pocket for easier landing.
She rubbed her shoulders where she had landed, slightly glad for finding out she could polarize the metal in her scales without air.

Jin doesn't seem to have issues with landing. He sort of swims toward the platform head first. And when it suits him, he angles upward so his feet aim for the surface. He never even touches the ground. Instead, he hovers above it, his flight ability keeping him just a few inches away from anything firm. Then he drifts forward, following Lina.
Dalcon is still tucked under Jin's arm, bound and with a breathing "mask" on. Jin is letting his flight ability control Dalcon's movements, keeping him moving in a similar way as the dragon, and preventing him any harm or discomfort.

She walked through the door, then made a right and walked back into the Rai dojo's basement. "Lock him up in one of the guest rooms for now, Can't say it'll hold him well, but I'll try to cook something up to keep him around till Reeve decides to check in on him." She started running through ideas before deciding to find, or at least remake, one of her earlier attempts at seals, malfunctioning Ki weights.
Her mind kept running through worst-case scenarios for making repairs to the entrance areas. Her mind running through a checklist of the damages to the medical room during Dalcon's exit.

Jin continues to follow Lina. Only until he is sure that they are back in breathable conditions does he release his air orbs and the breathing apparatuses. Albeit a little reluctantly, he also releases the restraints around Dalcon. He's got a tight hold on the kid's arms, making sure he doesn't have enough range of motion to pull a knife on him or something, so restraints don't matter for now. He does keep floating, though. Partly because he loves the sensation of being weightless. It entertains him. Also, the jarring movement of walking may wake up a pissed off, brainwashed child.
"Ah'll be stayin' wit' him in tha room. Least fer now. Come 'n get me when ya be ready."
With that, Jin splits off from Lina and makes for an empty dorm room.
The dragon pulls open a random door, peeking inside before entering. He closes the door and looks at it with a raised brow. What's to keep Dalcon from making an escape? No locked door can, that's for sure. This room is in the Rai Dojo's basement, so there's no window. Just the door. And maybe he could pull that escape trick from the medical lab again. Go through the ceiling. But that's what Jin is for. He should be able to take Dalcon out before that happens. Right? Eh, maybe.
Ruefully sighing, Jin allows his feet to touch the ground. He gently makes his way to the only bed, a simple twin size thing, and sets the boy down. He doesn't cover him up. He'd rather be able to see what the boy's doing with his hands. No weapons or hand signs that make things go boom or sizzle. But he tries to make sure Dalcon is comfortable all the same.
Shrugging, Jin backs away from the boy and begins to float again. His legs cross under him and he seems to sit Indian style in the air. The dragon stays where he can monitor all the boy's movements and react swiftly in case he makes a break for it.

Lina turned back into the dark hallways, checking her breathing mask then walking in closing the large door back to the Dojo. She used the door to the 'deck' to exit and climbed up onto the roof, examining Dalcon's escape route once more. She walked around to either side of the burst pipes and clapped her hands together for a moment, thinking. After a few seconds she slammed her palms down onto the edge of the opening and used metal molding to bend the edges down to plug the problem with something close to a quick welding job.
Once that was finished she sighed, looking at all the water droplets floating around above, making sweeping motions, trying to clear them away from the protrusion. She took note of the water that settled on the floor once the flow of escaping air stopped pushing it outside. She grumbled a bit at the flooding his escape created. She stomped a foot against the spire and sent a jolt down it, making it larger as the floor melted away entirely. Another jolt and the floor started forming over the now free floating water, building from the top down. She watched the spire slowly retreating down, noticing the floor was soon finished, She dug her hands into the sides of the metal and pulled up with her arms protesting at first before the metal severed the rest from the floor with some electricity crackling at the bottom. She then climbed along the outside with the large metal object over her head, beginning to patch up the sides and finally she pushed herself down into the exit hole, pushing what remained of the spire up into it, watching itself open like an umbrella, then slowly retract into the ceiling as the hole was sealed.
Her last task was to open the door, wait through the initial rush of air then listen for any hissing sounds, tossing a smoke bomb out and watching to make sure where else needed to be patched up. She tilted her head, at the task, only a couple of minutes in all. She walked around from door to door, running her fingers around engravings in the frames, sighing to herself at how much more energy this part of the task was taking. Eventually she peeked into the med lab, mentally planning the repair needs, grabbing a few things from one of the cabinets and a few blood packs before walking out the door. She magnetized her feet to the floor as she walked out of the room back to the hall, deciding that the gravity issue needed to be sorted still since the floor for the wing was just regular metal at the moment. She whistled and watched a few small disco-ball like machines floated out of a cabinet on the opposite wall, setting about something or other as she closed the door to the hall behind her.
She grumbled to herself slowly as she started to exit her corridor, sliding open a cabinet near the door and pulling out a supply scroll, before starting to turn the wheel on the big door to move the bolts back into the unlocked position as she started back out into the Rai dojo, wondering if anything important happened during her work.

She plopped down outside the door, unsealing thick wooden arm bracers and a similar set of leg bracers. Her mind set about putting together the seal formula, trying to decide the best method. She tilted her head to the side, resting her face against her hand.
She didn't give any change in her bored look, but her finger jabbed into one of the blood packets, and started rapidly putting sealing script onto the bracers. After the first bracer was finished her eyes didn't stay focused on the other bracers. She closed her eyes, repeating the process almost mechanically. She glanced and watched the blood dry before she began putting another layer on the first bracer, giving it her attention before returning to the almost mechanical methodology of copying her work. Another layer followed, this time the routine being changed ever so slightly as she was forced to open the next blood packet. Her final process was different as she carved the marks into the bracer's latches before painting them. This time she repeated the process with her eyes focused on each bracer, wincing when the blade began to carve into the bracers.
She let her mind wander for a while after she finished, trying to decide just how long she'd feel right keeping the kid. She shook her head at the thought. She had to be the heartless monster here, if Dalcon thought he'd be returning to Neko she'd find a good place to drop him off and give him a few months travel time to think things over if that would be what it came to. She wouldn't trust him on his own, brainwashed or not.

Lina sniffed the air for a short while, resisting the urge to growl as she noticed the scent of brimstone. She picked the bracers up, glancing over her work before muttering. "I know I'm forgetting something... better check the library"
She kept her mind clear of what should be running through her head. Kept herself controlled, but trying to remain at a level she normally acted like. She walked back towards her room, turning into the wing opposite from Dalcon's little accident. Going down it till the last door, marked Library. She opened the door cautiously entering, expecting other surprises inside beyond the rows of hard copies of books. After a moment she rang the bell on the desk and waited, trying to seem Normal.
His eyes wandered after her, keeping himself masked in this place always seemed a nightmare. Something wasn't sitting right with him about all of this. Something kept prodding his senses, challenging him or telling him to run.

A shelf of books over the door dropped onto the demon, all of them biting into him with surprisingly sharp teeth and fluttering their pages angrily. After a few moments the books and the demon vanished with a flash of fire.
"Huh... wonder how he'll do when he realizes they don't burn" she muttered to herself, looking around. She reached behind the desk muttering something into a speaker after seeing the bell hadn't turned up who she expected.
Something that looked remarkably like a male orangutan walked up to Lina carrying a book which it dropped on the desk. It then made a few 'Ook' noises before climbing up a bookshelf.
"Thanks Fred, I'll buy you a drink in town next week, someplace with lots of peanuts too." she replied. She chuckled a bit as she left, supposing that it was better she loose those blasted books then Fred. After all training another monkey in Cruel and Unusual Card Catalog Geography was such a waste of good Bananas.
Lina sighed to herself and left the library, heading back into the Rai dojo to check on Dalcon and Jin, deciding the other seals needed outside perspective on how cruel they'd be.
((<,< hmm, recycled an idea or two for this post from elsewhere, but I couldn't get them out of my head))

She sealed the door to the corridor behind her, still somewhat unnerved about it managing to follow her that far, especially now that Dalcon had already caused damage. She put it out of her mind and sighed to herself, checking back inside once more before resealing the door.
She sighed and went to check on Jin and Dalcon, books under one arm, the Restraint bracers under the other. She had underestimated the kid she supposed given he still managed an escape attempt even with her earlier precautions. She knew the restraints she was making probably wouldn't do much better at keeping him from making any attempts, but slowing him down would probably be enough till she could just dump the kid with Reeve. As long as he didn't screw up and let the kid run back to being Neko's giant robot pilot she could wash her hands of it.

One elongated ear twitches and Jin opens his eyes. How did he manage to fall asleep? That was a bad idea, what with a crazy fire wielder sleeping right in front of him. And that's when Jin notices Dalcon is in fact still unconscious. The dragon breathes a sigh of relief.
Curious, Jin opens up his senses. He wants to understand a little more about this boy. Dalcon isn't normal, so what is he? His energy signature should help with that mystery. At the same time, Jin scans for Lina's signature.
