Windy days

[Adrian]

Sal's thumb overs his palm had Adrian shivering a little, just barely resisting the urge to use that as an invitation to do something else... It wasn't like the other kitty could -see-, but... God dangit now wasn't the time.

Adrian grinned broadly at Sal's explanation of them being friends, about an inch away from giggling and overly glad that the white kitty couldn't actually see his mischievous expression. Yep. Friends. Who just so happened to to be able to know all right spots to get each other to literally scream out in pleasure, and find kinky ways to use scarves... Speaking of which, he'd totally forgotten in all of the drama that he'd found a scarf that matched perfectly with Sal's eyes. The moment he'd seen the thing his head had instantly been filled with all the sorts of things that he could -do- with that perfectly colored length of silky fabric and...

Okay, bad train of thoughts. He was going to end up giving himself a hard on just by thinking about it, and that had been close enough to embarrassing him at the store when he got it, nevermind it being totally the wrong time for this right now. Damnit, his nether regions needed to wait until later.

"Yep, we're pretty good -friends-." He added, a bit belatedly and with an utterly evil grin sent in Sal's direction. He would have said more, but stopped and frowned as he heard the same echo of name that Sal did.

He was both surprised and glad that his lover had caught it, since he had been distracted enough that he wasn't positive he would have, not being as familiar with Kei's little crush's name as much as the other two. The words killed the lingering arousal from the earlier thoughts instantly though, and his eyes narrowed.

The blonde bit at his lip to keep from actually spinning and yelling something. Fucking bastards. Why were people even like this? Taking a breath, he glanced over at Sal, eyes still narrowed. "No fucking idea, but it sounds like it ain't that great. Where's the fucking council room?"

[Keiani]

Kei simply frowned as Sal mentioned the stage manager having something wrong with him. The older boy didn't seem to... Did he? He certainly was being vaguely creepy right now but... He nodded violently as Sal mentioned them getting going, fingers twisting in his brother's as his hand was taken. Finding Ialu was a lot more important now than anything to do with what may or may not be screwed up with the stage manager.

At Sal's next words he looked up, eyes roaming over the strange blonde purple and black blob that had been going with his brother. He -had- been wondering... And he actually grinned slightly at the explanation. "Oh! Nice to meet you then. I'm glad you aren't just by yourself! Both Rin and I are around other people and you got stranded at home, so it's really good that you have a friend now!"

The Er Rit grinned at the blob that was officially 'Sal's friend and therefore okay' in his mind. Plus, the strange person hadn't seemed to treat him any differently in the whole time he had been with them (which, granted, was hardly any time at all... But still).

Any happiness from the fact that his brother seemed to be happy disappeared as his twitching ears caught the sound of Ialu's name. He froze at the same time that Sal stopped, his hand becoming vice-like on his brother's and his eyes widening as he listened to what the boys were saying, face paling.

Sal speaking broke the mental paralysis Kei had been thrust into from hearing that. And the albino started, tail and ears twitching madly. "We have to go get him! He freaks out horribly just from people being near him and the blonde seems to be really bad about getting him all freaked out like that and that's just not good and the council room is in the same building that mom was meeting with Miss Laney in and the nurses office is in so if we go there now we can maybe get there before anything bad happens!"

He probably would have kept babbling, but at that point he was pretty much out of breath, and his mind was more on getting to Ialu anyway. The Er Rit tugged on his brothers hand, pointing towards the main building with the other and repeating. "The room's in there! First floor, just down the hall and a turn from the nurse's office!"

[Sal]

I nod at the two of them, completely in agreement. Not only was it a bad thing simply because of Ialu's reaction, but I'd promised myself I'd help Kei and his friend!

I'm not doing a very good job at this rate, am I.

A little disgruntled at myself and the situation, I sigh, flicking my ears, and grin back at them. "Well, what are we waiting for, then?" Without further adieu, I start hauling them in the direction Kei'd pointed out, and after a few moments of walking, we arrive near the correct hallway.

Right away, I slow my pace and squeeze Adrian's and Kei's hands. Blondie and another kid have just turned from a doorway and I hiss low in my throat, wondering if this is the council room... but that's apparently the next turn down.

So... this is the nurse's office? Is that right?

((Sorry for the late late late -really late- response. And a craptastic one by my standards, too... *sighs*

EDIT: Minor edit in the the... third?... paragraph. I was god-modding just a teensy bit. ;^.^ Sorry!))

[Keiani]

It was all Kei could do to keep a vague idea of where they were going, between worrying about Ialu and only having been in this area a couple of times. He hated that, in all truth, he really had no idea where they were going once they got into the building and he wasn’t able to use his usual measures to lead himself around. If Sal had taken a wrong turn at all, Kei probably wouldn’t even have noticed, much less been able to correct them.

And knowing that made him even –more- stressed and worried than he was before.

Up until now he hadn’t especially appreciated how good of a thing it was that Sal could just –know- where he and Rin were. If he could do that with Ialu, he would have been able to go right to him, nearly blind or not, all he’d have had to worry about was actually getting up stairs and the like, not the direction. And then he could have let his mind completely concentrate on –finding- his roommate instead of having it split in a hundred different directions!

His mind jerked out of the haze of panic and worry as Sal slowed, glancing up with his ears flicking at the squeeze. Dangit, obviously his brother saw –something-… Kei couldn’t make out anything but blobish things in the hall.

Really he couldn’t even have had a hope of telling Sal if they were even in the right place, other than the directions he knew. They’d been moving far faster than he usually did, and he hadn’t had any walls to touch or doors with their Braille numberings under the plates to lead himself by.

[Adrian]

Adrian was almost tempted to just fly up ahead, so that Sal wouldn’t have to worry about two of them. Technically he probably –could- make himself faster… But he didn’t do that often enough to be sure of the control so that he wouldn’t go –too- fast. And he wasn’t sure if pulling his wings out would be the best thing to do in this case. Being dressed like he was seemed to be getting him more than enough doubtful looks already.

Not that he generally minded doubtful looks. Usually that would make him want to flirt and freak out the person in question even more; and he –would- have… If they weren’t trying to save the poor kid Sal’s brother was rooming with. Something told him that at this point they needed as much credibility as they could get, and dragging around the flirtatious shapechanger just –probably- wouldn’t have helped much.

And he didn’t think his grandmother exactly held much clout here either, so asking her to help was a no. Not that she could get here in time to help with this… Well… Maybe she could, but it wasn’t likely.

And setting an enraged Rhasto noble on the school probably wouldn’t be the best idea anyways.

His head jerked around at the squeeze on his hand, hair flying as his eyes focused on the two in the hallway, narrowing. He heard the albino’s question… But Sal could explain that. Adrian was too busy playing ‘should I should I not’ with the idea of sending the two who had supposedly assaulted the younger boy spinning up into the air. And maybe maiming some key parts of them. They didn’t need them, after all. Or at least didn’t deserve to need them.

Only one problem though, “The kid isn’t with them.” He muttered, eyes still narrowed as he let go of Sal’s hand and took a step closer

[Ialu]

"President...," the young boy asked, a bit unsure of what to say.

"I told you not to call me that, Jeremiah," Percy replied a bit wantonly. He knew that he had messed up his plan by not controlling himself and he supposed himself a bit lucky that his secretary had stepped in and had known what to do, otherwise he would've been left with a sobbing heap.

"President, I know it's not.. my place to say, but did you attack-," the brunette boy caught sight of the boy he always saw Ialu with plus two he didn't recognize, but they one he did know seemed flustered and worried. "Excuse me President," Jeremiah stepped forward and paused before greeting them.

"I suppose you heard about Ialu? The Nurse it taking care of him.. he should be fine. He used to go into attacks all the time when he was little..," he smiled gently and nodded at the information he gave.

Percy watched, not pleased and pressed himself against the wall, arms crossed. The albino-Kievessi or some other strange name, was pretty useless when it came to defense, but the other two looked dangerous. He was skilled in fighting, but definitely not enough to take on two opponents. Jeremiah seemed to be his lucky little gift today, showing up at the right times and protecting him from getting the nyosik beaten out of him.
