A familiar suave figure in a deep red suit appeared. The mask upon his face was certainly one unseen so far, its wide sweeping angles jutted far from the right side of his head; it almost appeared as a very ornate masquerade mask, the key difference being that it only covered his right eye. A shaggy waft of blonde hair covered the left.
"So," he said, his voice rather stately as he placed his hands in the pockets of his jacket. "The hunt is on, eh?"

[[Boom's here, so that means I'm leaving. Sorry Laura, it's 11. And I just found out that my boyfriend might be moving to North Carolina and we're in Florida right now. So I'm pretty.. distraught. Goodnight.]]

((I'm sorry about the news you got about your boyfriend. That really sucks. I hope that doesn't happen. Have a good night.))

Nex Remeo "You..." He hissed and cover his ears. He backed away and grabbed the old lady. "I won't give up." He screamed as they disappeared. 'You better be careful girl, if he finds out your dead.' 'I know. And you better do the same.' Jewlet opened her eyes, which had gone back to light purple. She got up and dressed herself in a red, light dress that reached to the floor and put on a simple black head band. "Stupid." She said under her breath as she put on her shoes.The werecat looked down at Krish as he began to pull on her locket. "Hey, take it easy, that was my grandmothers." She looked over at Ophiuchus and then back down at the baby. "Your a little mess."

Cuwen ((Well stop multi-tasking! lol!)) Lin finally undid all the handcuffs and was confused to see a large grin on Dymetri's face. "I... am glad to see you are feeling so well. Surprised you are healing so quickly, but glad." She sighed and walked over to the dresser, putting the handcuffs back on top of it. She cared for him, yes, and she was worried about him, but that didn't change what had happened right before he had left her room... what had been said. She spoke softly, "I will make some more salves and pain medicine for you to keep on hand. When you are better able to move, you can put the salves on yourself. For now, I will do that. I expect to see my patient through until he is well... Professor Valen." She knelt on the floor again, again made the mortar and pestle out of her spring water, and went to work. She had kept the left over herbs from earlier in a hidden pocket in her dress. [[Well. At least that's not the only news I got.]] "I apologize," he said, his face falling as he heard the appropriate name for him escape her lips. He stared at her with steady eyes, hands raising slowly to rub each wrist from the previous restraint.

The werecat smiled. She handed Krish to Ophiuchus and then said. "Sorry for your loss." She smiled lightly and jumped back. "Bye for now, Ophiuchus." She smiled and disappeared.
Valrie was hiding in the lower library reading books the the jar next to her. She was bound to get her mother back as she read the old books. She looked up to see a brown cat walk out of the shadows. "Kitty!" She said as the cat reached her. She petted the cat before she went back to reading.
Jewlet exited her room and headed for the main building to get food. Her stomach growled loudly as she hadn't eaten for sometime, which she had a bad habit of doing.

Ophiuchus smiled gratefully at where the werecat once stood. "Thank you... Cecilia, was it not?" But he was talking to air not. He looked down at the baby boy. Not his son, but still the son of Ella. Although, that did make Krish indirectly his son, Ophiuchus thought. No, no more trying to figure this out. A twenty-five hundred year old serpent god should have no problem raising two young children in this modern day and age while simultaneously helping a distant descendant guard an ancient artifact from the rest of the world - right? Right. Suddenly, Ophiuchus realized, his priorities had swapped. In the course of just a week, he had gone from being a traveling healer to settling down in a cold, remote forest to teach teenagers about the nuances of magic.
A moment later, Ophiuchus reappeared in the school library, kneeling next to his daughter. "Look who I found~" he said cheerfully, despite Ella's death. As much as he loved her, for now, mourning would have to wait. It wasn't right for a healer to put himself before others.

Luna laid down while crossing her legs, her body relaxed from the brief moment of silence. She took a good whiff of the air when all of a sudden she sensed Ialo coming back. She whined softly, though sometimes he was amusing.

Valrie looked up and smiled at her father. She quickly jumped to her feet. "Krish!" She smiled. "Just like mama said 'It will be okay.'" She looked back down at the book and started to read it again. "I put mama's ashes in the jar." She looked at the jar as the brown cat sat by it and meowed.
Jewlet entered the main building and head straight for the lunch room. She looked at the food and pick out fruit, water, and chicken. She quickly paid for the meal and sat down at a table.

Ialo had been quickly walking up and down the corridors, trying to sort his thoughts: find Bastet, save her siblings, abolish Dev 8, get back with Luna.... Woah, where did THAT thought come from? Ialo shook his head and kept walking, to the roof again. Luna hated him, he was sure. And he wasn't particularly fond of her at the moment. If she had just kept out of the way, he could have gotten to Danni before that demon killed her. He wasn't sure what he could have done, but if he had just gotten there sooner... A student wouldn't have had to go through so much pain.
A moment later, he teleported to the roof, where Luna was still sitting. "Hey," he called out. Ialo had a bundle in his arms, and dropped it in Luna's lap. It was a change of clothes, containing underclothing and a simple dark red dress. "I don't mind if you stay, but you've got to cover yourself up."
Ophiuchus glanced at the jar and the cat, and sighed. He was both pleased and pained - a good friend and lover was killed, but her ashes remained intact and untainted. He smiled at Valrie and stood up, gesturing for her to take his hand while he held Krish with the other. "C'mon, let's go - Daddy has to prepare for his next class." Now that Ella was gone, Ophiuchus would take over her classes. Breifly, he wondered about bringing her back to life - would Ella want that? Could he do it? It had been a bit since she had passed, her spirit might be difficult to find on the astral plane. Plus, he would have to reconstruct her body, a difficult task in and of itself. No reconstructed body was as good as the real thing, though one could come tantalizingly close.

She tilted her head upwards to look at him. His body blocked the sun from her eyes and he appeared like a dark shadowy figure. But she recognized the voice, the smell, and the aura. It was as if the memories that she regained were replaying over again, remembering his lonely, nerdy, barely confident self. Now, he was too busy to realize that he was lonely, too successful to be called a nerd with a straight face.. but he was still barely confident.
She picked up the small set of clothing and stood upright, crouching as she slipped on the dress. "Does my being naked distract you?" she asked innocently, placing the straps of the dress accordingly. It fit tightly around her bust and waist, and fell gently over her thighs. The dress was a V-cut and the dark red matched her complexion perfectly. For a few moments, she wondered where he picked up the thing. It suit her very well. She crouched down again to slip on the pair of underwear he brought. It was black. She liked black undergarments.
Fixing her posture and smoothing out any potential wrinkles, she struck a modest pose and twirled around on her big toe. "Are you satisfied?"

Valrie put a thin piece of paper in the book and closed it. She picked up the jar as she held the book under her arm. Redivivus Vita, meaning 'Reconstruct Life', was written on to the books cover and on the inside it was completely Latin. Then with her free hand she took hold of her fathers hand. "Okay." She nodded her head. She brown cat jumped over to Valrie and stood next to her with her tail touching the girl. The cat let out a meow.

Ialo politely looked away as Luna got dressed. "As a matter of fact, it does," he stated calmly as he turned back around. He smiled slightly. His sister always had the best taste in clothes and naturally, she was the person Ialo called when he realized Luna couldn't go the rest of her life in the nude. He turned around to study Luna. "Well, you aren't naked anymore, so I approve." The slight amount of excessive heat he felt must have been the morning sun. Yeah, that was it. The morning sun. And he had no friggin' idea why there was still a relaxed, goofy smile on his face, despite the situation. He was tired, he was under attack, he had a million tasks to complete - he had no reason to be smiling. Especially not when a lovely woman was standing in front of him.
With that, Ophiuchus led Valrie to the nurse's office, wondering if the cat would follow, wondering if what he thought Valrie's book said was really what it said, wondering if Ella was okay in the afterlife.

"Why?" she simply asked, placing her hands on her hips in a very feminine fashion. It was easy to tell that Luna wasn't anywhere near the same as she was back in high school at some moments, but she still hadn't grown to her full potential. She still held back most of her feelings and words, though with Ialo they seem to come out naturally. Even the accusatory ones. MAYBE that's not such a good thing..
"I'm glad you approve, because that means you'll stop nagging me about how I appear," she said, smirking slightly at the sight of his smile. She turned and walked to the edge of the roof, looking down. "That's not so high up," she whispered, thinking about jumping off. Her posture gave that thought away though.

Valrie looked at the cat as it followed them. She turned her head forward and looked up at Ophiuchus. She looked away and frowned lightly. She could sense the dread, the sadness in the air.
Jewlet finished off her food quickly and threw away her trash. She exited the lunch room and headed for her class. She knew she would be in trouble, but didn't care as always.
