Things had been hard since the return from the Isles, her encounter with the grey phoenix on the Isle's had left her inner insecurities gaping open like a giant wound - and that wound was slow to heal. On the outside it didn't seem like Zurine had to many insecurities certainly she was outgoing enough to give the illusion of confidence when she was in a group but since returning from the Isles she'd been lonely...
Horribly, achingly lonely. She had come here to make friends but in reality..while she knew people here at the school there just wasn't anyone she could really say she knew, at least not in the way she knew her friends back home. Perhaps it was just the insanity talking, but even she had to admit that had done nothing but bring forth issues that were already there. She might be a bit raw at the moment and perhaps feeling it a bit more then she really should be..but she was feeling it and feelings didn't always have a lot of logic behind them.
It was perhaps this lonely feeling that had prompted her to start walking aimlessly about the school grounds while some of her fellows locked themselves away in their rooms to deal with what the insanity had brought them and it was on one of these meandering aimless marches that a bit of white fur bounding around the corner of the school caught her attention. What..was that?
Picking up her pace, hurrying before whatever it was escaped and left her curious forever Zurine skid around the corner and came face to face with an...alpaca? A startled not very happy alpaca at that and Zurine had to duck back around the corner to miss a glob of spittle the irritable beast launched at her.
What was an alpaca doing on the school grounds?

Zurine hadn't been the only one who had seen the alpaca - indeed Molpadia had spotted the beast as it came around the corner and one look at it's fuzzy hide and oddly shaped head and she was feeling fairly confident that this could indeed be the mysterious Mr. Fluffy. The presence of cloven hooves and it's size seemed to fit the tracks from the pen as well.
No. This had to be Mr. Fluffy - it seems that it had escaped the vicious animals in the forest and made it's way onto the school grounds. Tucking her wings she dove from the sky intent on taking the beast by surprise. Of course she hadn't taken into account the arrival of a student - and said student startling the beast so that it whirled and spat as just about the same time she had been meaning to hit it. Quickly Molpadia tried to stop her forward dive..and sucseeded only in slowing herself enough that the crash into the school wall wasn't anything but slightly painful..and very embarrassing.
Thankfully the student seemed to have ducked away from the alpaca spit and probably hadn't seen. "You there!" She called out to the student, hoping the blasted little brat hadn't run off "Come and help me wrangle this beast, it belongs to the Head Priestess"

Willow had been, well attempting to catch a nap in the sun. It was a nice day, until she noticed a really weird smell floating around the campus. Of course then Willow heard shouting too. Her ears flicked back before sitting up and looking towards the source of the noise. She thought she heard mention of head priestess?
She saw Zurine, and while she hadn't met the ghoul properly before she remembered her being at the meeting with the horsemen.
Willow got up and headed towards the other, "Hey what's going on?" She asked curiously before hearing something bleet at her. "What in the name of Jack is that!?"

Zurine - having escaped being spat on - peeked around the corner again when someone yelled at her. She hadn't seen the horsemen approach but then she supposed that she wasn't all that used to looking up for danger. "My names Zurine" She informed the winged horsemen whose crash into the wall seemed to have gained the beasts attention for a few moments..which was nice because really Zurine didn't really fancy being spat at again.
"I think it's an alpaca..or a ilama..I'm not really sure but one of those" She informed the tiger ghoul who came to join her "And apparently it belongs to the clansmen's High Priestess..and she wants us to help her catch it..but it spits and kind of smells.." She added with a slight wrinkling of her nose. Zurine loved animals as a rule..but ones that spit at you were a bit less lovable then most.

Molpadia heaved a sigh as the student insisted on not only introducing herself but also explaining the situation to a passer-by - really? Couldn't she had explained that while helping to catch the beast? "I don't care what your name is to be honest...I just want to catch this creature and return it to it's pen, as you say it smells - wouldn't you rather help me get it out of here?" Really it was kind of a gross pet as far as Molpadia was concerned and she was at a bit of a loss on why Medea would be so attached to it.
Speaking of the creature...what was it up to? In her lecture to the student she hadn't kept proper eye on it and wheeled about to make sure it hadn't ran off..only to get a hoof to the chest. "ooomph!" She grunted as the force pushed her back a little ways. "Seriously..a bit of help would be appreciated.." She told the two students.

Willow paused, the high prestess' pet? Willow stared at it before flicking her tail and heading towards it. "Alright, alright, helps coming." She answered, as she aimed to try and at least disable it from attacking again someone.
"I'm Willow by the way." She added since there were introductions, besides she could multi-task. The tiger managed to catch the paca in the side. Her nose wrinkled, "These things are pretty tough." Suddenly she got caught by the tail and let out a yelp followed by a snarl in the paca's direction. "THAT IS MY TAIL FOR JACKS SAKE."

Since the tiger ghoul who said her name was Willow had decided to help take this alpaca back Zurine decided she'd jump in too - even if the clans women wasn't being all that friendly. Perhaps she was just having a bad day - Zurine could see how chasing after this beast could make someone a little bit moody - especially as the creature seemed to be so ill tempered.
"It's certainly an ill tempered beast isn't it" Zurine commented with a grimace of sympathy at Willow just as the creature swung around to take a chomp of her arm, cringing Zurine thumped it on the nose to make it let go. Really..why would anyone want this as a pet? "Maybe you should consider giving your Head Priestess a scareon or foxfire...or something a bit more umm,..cuddly?" She suggested

"Molpadia" The horseman grunted out the introduction as she struggled to get a hold of the alpaca, she'd brought a rope with her and yanked on the beasts ear to try and hold it still long enough to get the rope over it head - unfortunately all that did was cause the beast to throw its head around and hit her on her chin. At least the students seemed to be helping now rather then standing there and watching.
"Oh but Medea has had Mr.Fluffy here for ages and ages" Molpadia grumbled "She was quite vexed to be missing it...and while I would love to fed the ill tempered creature to something in the woods and replace it with something else well...I doubt Medea would be agreeable"

Willow's tail was throbbing after the beast had turned lose. However, it wasn't subdued yet. "I can't see how the priestess would keep something so....." He nose wrinkled, what would be the correct word here, "Ill mannered."
Willow felt the beast breathing on her leg as if it was about to snap at her hip with the flowers on it. Instead of letting the beast take a bite Willow hip checked it, sticking her tongue out, only to get spat at. "I hate you too." She growled cleaning off her fur. luckily it'd just caught her in the cheek.

Zurine rather agreed with Willow, wrinkling her nose slightly as the other student got spat at. "Yeah...I love pets and all...but this seems to be pushing it.." She added with a nod of agreement. As though knowing that she was thinking ill of it the alpaca promptly lifted one of its cloven hooves and stomped on her foot. Hard.
Yowling, Zurine thumped the beast on the shoulder "Get off! get off!" She yelled at it, shoving until it removed it's foot - although all her shoving seemed to do little to placate the beast. Oh well Zurine had been more concerned with her foot at the moment anyways. Thankfully as far as she could tell it was just going to be bruised "Ugly beast" She told the alpaca "We're just trying to get you back to your home, you'd think you'd be a bit more cooperative"

"I'm sure she has her reasons" Molpadia told the students although the tone of her voice said she was a bit skeptical about those reasons. There was no reason that she could think of to keep such a foul creature alive - indeed if this animal had been given to her she likely would have dropped it off with one of the famine alchemists for use in their experiments.
While the beast was distracted by the student Molpadia tried once more to sling the rope around it's neck, unfortunately the beast moved just as she did so and the rope smacked into it's shoulder instead - something which seemed to anger it as it kicked out with one of its hindlegs and caught Molpadia in the stomach. "oomph".
Staggering back slightly she wiped her brow with a forearm and studied the creature..on the plus side it didn't seem like it could run away at the moment, they had ot fairly secure against the side of the school - unfortunately that wasn't making it any more cooperative. "I ..think it might be tiring..maybe"

"...I guess..maybe it is..." Zurine agreed as she looked at the alpaca, really it didn't look like it was getting all that tired to her but she was hardly an alpaca expert and if the clansman wanted to believe that the beast was growing weary then so be it.
"Here maybe if I try and grab hold of it's head you can get the rope on it.." She suggested making a grab for the creatures neck and ignoring the glob of spit that glomed onto her shoulder as a result, although with the way it was swinging its head around Zurine found she had a hard time keeping hold of it.

When the student tried to grab onto the creatures head Molpadia took advantage of it's distraction to try and sling the rope around it's neck - she'd drag this stubborn creature back to its pen if it was the last thing she did - and the way she kept getting stomped on,spat one & bitten there was a possibility that it could be. Wouldn't that be embarrassing...to get taken out by an alpaca. She'd never live it down. In all truthfulness she was feeling far more tired then the alpaca seemed to be....
Stupid animal. Rather angry at the beast she lashed out with a foot to try and trip it up..and was satisfied when it let out a grunt and staggered back a bit.

IT was getting a bit more obvious that the alpaca was tiring - especially after the clan women managed to get a pretty good hit on it, a hit which kept the alpaca dazed enough for Zurine to follow through with a pretty good hit of her own, lashing out to catch the beast on the muzzle before it could gain enough senses to spit at one of them again.
When it staggered back panting she took advantage of it's predicament to try and grab hold of its neck again so that the rope could be slung around it.
