Foggy. It was the best and probably only way to describe Shehk's room from a visual standpoint. It was the result of bringing a piece of home back with her, along with the Fog that was spawning inside of her lungs, like a disease. A pleasant disease, to an extent, and it was nice enough that it didn't just..hiccup all over the place all day, allowing her enough control to use it as a smokesheild in emergency, but....
That meant that finding anything in her room was a task in and of itself, foglights for eyes or not.
Shehk sprawled out on the floor across one of the furs she'd accumulated, the bottom of a rather literal dog pile consisting of Hati and Skoll piled on top of her back while she attempted to pen yet another letter to her sire that...wouldn't be answered. It worried her, actually, but the second she stopped writing would be the moment he started writing back, so she kept at it, door slightly ajar to let some of the fog escape from the confines of her room and out into the hallway.

Shehk had said Jericho was free to drop by if he ever needed her, but the dragon wasn't entirely certain where her room was exactly. He wanted to make sure he knew its location before he actually needed to call her up on anything. It was good to be prepared and he would rather not wander around aimlessly when it was needed.
And thus, he went to find out exactly where the pricolici's lair was. It took some time before he spotted one door in particular that had some fog creeping on out the door. The dragon stopped and narrowed his eyes at this, not realizing this happened to be the room he sought.
Feeling very on edge now, he crept towards the door before knocking. He didn't say anything and he looked like he was ready to flee at any moment's notice.
There shouldn't be fog in these rooms.

There was a knock on her door.
Shehk's ears immediately perked up as she looked towards it. "Hello?" she called to it, shifting to get up, just to find both of the Celestial Wolves remaining firmly planted. This resulted in a roll over and a 'THUD THUD' as she attempted to shift them both off of her.
"Jackdammit, get off me!" she demanded, pushing Hati off of her, the dog rolling with a yelp as the Pricolici shook both of her 'pack' off of her, rising up to her feet to cross over to the door - just to trip over Skoll who desperately seemed to want to be under foot. "Dammit! Leave me alone!" she snapped impatiently, just to..stumble right into the door with another thud.

Shifting a little uneasily as he waited, Jericho soon heard several thuds on the other side of the door. This increased his level of wariness, and the shouts he heard Shehk say as well did not help. HUNTERS. She had to be under attack right now.
And thus the dragon kicked the door open.
The sight of the fog everywhere froze him on the spot, and he found himself a little hesitant to barg in.
"JACKING HUNTERS. WE'LL END YOU!" he roared. It looked like he was getting ready to breathe fire into the room.

Shehk happened to be on the OTHER SIDE of that door when it was kicked open, making a yelp of her own as she fell back into the fog of her room with a solid thud. Skoll and Hati immediately fled underneath her bed, the female of the pair making a keening noise as the Pricolici stared out of her room an-
"Jericho??" she called. Why was he yelling about Hunters? Wha- .. Oh god! The Fog! The sound of her palm hitting her forehead was audible as she scrambled up to her feet to step out of the mess looking rather disheveled. Then again, she'd just been hit by her own door with a rather great amount of force.
"Jericho! Jericho calm down!"

The startled dragon was just about to unleash a fury of flames right into the room to burninate any and all hunters that might be there, but stopped as Shehk had scrambled back up and was urging him to calm down. Instead, smaller tendrils of flames escaped past his lips, followed by some smoke.
"Calm down? THERE'S HUNTERS IN THERE AREN'T THERE!?" he boomed while trying to find signs of the jacking humans. The pricolici looked a little worse for wear right now. It looked like she had been in a fight. They were in there. He just knew it!

"Could you turn it down a little bit?" Shehk's ears flicked back. "You're going to scare people if they hear you yelling about Hunters and then there will be a panic!" Him breathing fire in the Undead Dorm would cause an even bigger panic with the flammable students, so she was glad he had decided against that.
It was possible he just hadn't wanted to set her ablaze, but either way the lack of flaming room was a positive.
"Do you want to check for Hunters in there?" she motioned into the room. "You're free to go in and take a look."

Snarling, Jericho glanced from Shehk to the foggy depths of the room. It could be some sort of trap. He didn't spot anything like a glowing weapon from where he stood, but they could just be simply out of his line of sight. Cautiously, he stepped in. From there, he began to beat his wings powerfully to try and clear out as much of the fog as he could to give himself an easier time to see.
"We heard you fighting in here. You were under attack," he growled as he looked around.

The fog scattered easily, but..so did Shehk's stuff, making a bit of a scattered mess all over the place. The pricolici herself stayed in the doorway, watching Jericho as he began to look around her room - it wasn't a pretty modest living situation - sans the fact that her bed was pretty nice. But that had been a gift from Tristan over a year ago.
Beyond that, there was a simple oak wardrobe and a desk to match, as well as a strange sort of indoor 'rock' garden set up as sort of the centerpiece of the room - though it boasted more soil than rough dirt, and a few fallen trees that looked like Shehk had dragged them in from the forest herself (Note: She had). No posters on the walls or anything of that sort of interest.
"Fighting? Why would you........" Again, she facepalmed. "Yeah, I was fighting. With the two Celestial Wolves who are currently cowering underneath the bed from you...." From underneath her bed, Hati whimpered, backing further underneath said bed in fear of the dragon.

With the fog lifted, Jericho looked around slowly, trying to take in all the details. Indeed, it seemed that there were no hunters in here. Frowning, he turned to Shehk for her explanation of what she was fighting. From there, he glanced to the bed, where indeed two celestial wolves were cowering.
"Alright.. so there aren't any hunters in here... The fighting. And the fog. We just thought..."

"The 'fighting' was me tripping over Skoll." Shehk explained lightly. "...and getting hit with a door when it was suddenly kicked open." she added, patting her poor door. It got so much abuse. Okay, not really. Jericho kicking it in might have been the first real abuse it had ever gotten since Nuk's attempts to break in.
" As for the fog, I can explain that too." the pricolici stepped into the room, making a point to not close the door behind her - somehow she had a feeling that Jericho would have a 'HELP HELP AM TRAPPED AHfks;afhdfd' incident if she did that. Then again, the insanity and the punch mixture had implanted that possibility in her head, so....
Shehk sat down on her bed, taking a deep breath in, then blowing out a rather steady stream of fog. Only enough to display the source of it, before she stopped, pausing to cough the rest of it back down. She'd gotten her body all fog-production excited from doing that.

Furrowing his brow, Jericho hadn't quite realized he had smacked Shehk with the door at first by kicking it open. But he didn't say anything just yet as he wanted to see how she was going to explain the fog. And quite frankly, he was surprised to see her breathe it out. That wasn't something he was aware her capable of doing.
Letting out a a breath, he finally took a more relaxed state.
"..We're sorry," he murmured before glancing towards the door. It was probably about time now that he should leave before he did anything else to trash her room.

"It's fine." she forgave easily. She understood. If she hadn't understood the situation, she probably would have been livid right then for the rampage. Not to say she particularly liked the idea of him setting her room ablaze, but never the less the concern wasn't entirely a miss on his part. "You were just doing your guardian thing, and I...understand that you're in a somewhat difficult place too. It happens."
Not to say she wasn't seeming rather concerned for him right then. He had come to find her for some reason or another, just to suddenly have his outburst.
"Are you doing okay?"

There was one good thing about Shehk knowing what was wrong with him in general. It gave some level of understanding that his actions.. weren't always the norm for himself. No, he was prone to outbursts similar to this recent one. It didn't take much to trigger either his temper or his paranoia. Or both.
"We're fine. We just wanted to make sure we knew where you lived... in case we needed it later," he replied.

That made sense. It was silly to let him call on her if he needed her ear/shoulder/whatever and then have no idea where she was. That made a lot of sense, actually. She probably should have offered that up front when she'd made the initial offer, but somehow it almost seemed like this exchange right here was a better option.
"Well, at least you won't be finding my fog-filled room at a time when you might not be able to handle it." she said. It would have been unfortunate for him to actually need her only to have found her room as it had been. "Just let me know next time you're coming over and I'll clear it out ahead of time. I tend to forget that it isn't as soothing to other people as it is for me."
