Ow ow ow ow ow ow OWWWWWWW. "Rynn, this is why I never want to be on your bad side. This wasn't intentional, I can only imagine how bad it'd be if you wanted to dig holes in my chest like this." Once she put the salve over his injuries, and he was wanting to scream for pretty much the whole time, Blake picked up a nearby rock and started squeezing it. "Okay... think it's time to head on in. Maybe get a drink before heading to the room." Or something else to dull the need to let out a roar that would probably even intimidate Frosk out in the woods.

By the end of getting the last deep hole filled and covered with poultice, the hybrid could not help but laugh out loud as she could see the grimace in his eyes.
"Careful, your face is going to freeze up like that, then the kids really will have something to tease about. And if you want to scream, why don't you stick your head under the water. It'd make you feel better and it doesn't wake everyone up in this part of the country and morning."
She kept grinning. This was quite amusing to her and now he had a soft spot to use against him for a little while until they heal real good.
"Alright, let's get going and get at least a few hours of sleep before they wake up."
She put everything away once again and waited for him to get up finally.

"I'd do that but I think I'd scare all the fish to death. Don't worry I'll just walk it out. Kids would probably sleep through something like that and wake up at the softest little sound instead." Okay that one was an exaggeration but it often seemed like if they heard a creak or a gust of air through a window they'd wake up but if he messed up when doing his stone cutting they could sleep right through it. He'd have to remember not to get into any fights for a while though, and to heal as quickly as he possibly could. She definitely had a strong dragon heritage, even if it didn't always show through in the most obvious of fashions.

Rynn was still grinning from ear to ear, though rare for her to do so, but the situation made that grin stay there.
It was not quite so much an exaggeration that Blake spoke of, as it was true they could sleep through the loudest of things, but heaven forbid that they hear Rynn creep out of the dorm room for some fresh air on the roof for a little while.
"That is very true of them, and it will only get worse until they get older. Come on then, walk off the little scratches I left on you. Otherwise you'll end up being too stiff to move properly tomorrow."
She tugged on his wrist, encouraging him to get moving and move around. Those were only scratches to her standards, most would consider them gashes or lacerations. But in Rynn's mind they were scractches, something not intentionally done and not deep enough to leave mental scars as well as physical.
Like Rynn had mentioned, the last one who forced her to fly with them had to have emergency surgery on his sternum because those claws were so long, sharp, and strong to pierce nearly anything. Hell she could even leave dents in metal where she would trail her claws along just to see how strong they were at one point.

"Heh, if these are little scratches then a deep wound must be when you actually hook a vital organ and drag it out on your claws. Alright alright, don't have to drag me. Just don't want to go and open them right back up after you patched me back together. Don't make me run Rynn." Though it wasn't hard to keep pace with her since he was almost twice her size. Each of his steps counted as two or three of hers, she did have a more brisk pace though and he was trying his best not to disturb the minor injuries. At least the kids probably wouldn't notice, they always seemed to think he was invincible. But... crap, if Rynn could cut right through him what about... her?

The beast cringed at his wording, making sound like she tried gauging people for a living.
"A deep wound isn't that bad from me. But yes, sometimes an organ or two does get pierced, or a broken bone... You know, the usual for someone who deserves it."
As far as Krynn went, she probaly could if that beast really wanted to, but having changed most of her own genetics it would actually prove to be slightly harder.
Krynn had the dragon blood to destroy, but her physical design was not meant to hurt other dragons but instead to scare and cause more maiming.

"Yeah, for those who deserve it. Well, anyway, almost back, heh. So last chance to talk about stuff in private if you want?" He was trying to avoid the obviously uncomfortable subject now, sensing that Rynn had indeed used those claws on a few people and that it probably led to her getting in some kind of trouble. He also didn't want to mention the demon, and the kids had been thoroughly discussed. It felt like he was still missing something, something he wanted to talk to her about but he hadn't yet. Hmm... what was it? Maybe relationships? Maybe it was about a sculpture or something? Oh well, he'd figure it out later.

There did sound like something was missing from their conversation, but she couldn't put her finger on what should to be discussed, or rather what needed to be discussed.
"Well, some do deserve to have their eyes scratched out, but I try to refrain from using absolute force. I was only grasping for a firm hold, others I usually try to force them to put me down quicker than what you did. Don't worry, if ever the chance arises, I won't scar you again."
She smirked, walking at a steady pace beside him.
She was surprised he couldn't smell Athan all over her. No matter how many times she bathed under the waterfall or relaxed in the river, she could not relieve her of his smell, not that the feline hybrid minded in the least.
Then again, she liked having someone pining over her without having a definate answer if she wanted to do it again or not. And before she knew it without knowing, a soft smile appeared on her lips again. She was rather fond of him now that she thought about it. Hopefully it wouldn't be a waste of time if she pursued him.

"Well of course some do deserve to be torn apart, and I hope I'm never going to be on that list. Don't worry, scars or not it's still worth it to help you fly." There was a sort of vague strange scent, he had chalked it up originally to being something she caught but now that he had nothing else to think about really he wondered what it was from. Maybe he should ask... or maybe he shouldn't. "Hey Rynn, have you met anyone else since you got back?" Blake wasn't actually all that aware of the serpentine relative of Athos, he'd seen him once or twice but it was never a real solid meet greet and socialize.

Uh oh.
Did he really just ask her about anyone coming out to see her?
With a wave of warmth bubbling throughout her body, that soft smile turned into a devious smile as she thought of a way to tease Blake's mind, but it quickly turned into a shy smirk.
Anything she could possibly say or do could be turned back on her, especially since she never really seemed all too interested in anyone. But now, there was someone who held an interest.
Would Blake even be able to guess? If he couldn't, she would be relieved he didn't know right off the bat, with Crimson having not announced to the world that Rynn had a new love interest.
"Well... I have been hanging around these parts for about a month... so yeah.."
The heat in her body continued to rise, almost feeling as if her fur would start to singe.
Wait a second. Something didn't feel right..
Rynn stopped walking and paused for a moment or two as her ears twitched for any movement in the area.

As they were heading to the castle someone else was just on his way out and taking a slither out to town. He wasn't really sure what he was going there for, but as it happened the strange pull took him right by a very familiar and friendly face, Rynn. And she wasn't alone? The naga smiled and turned to head in their direction. "Good evening my friends, a pleasure to see you."

Blake waved politely and smiled, not sure why the naga was coming over. Until he got much closer, and the dragon finally pegged the scent that had been faintly hovering around Rynn. Ohhhh, were they???

The look on Rynn's face could have been pinned as priceless as she had just dismissed any noise and suddenly seeing him.
Her jaw dropped for a moment, almost seeing as an eternity in the back of her mind, but she tried to recompose herself quickly as her mind cursed herself over and over for being brought back by Blake instead of coming back on her own.
She gave a small wave and continued walking as if acting like this wasn't awkward at all... That was until she saw Blake ring a bell.
Oh shit... oh shit.. shit he knows..
Needless to say, this hybrid preferred to keep her intimate life completely private from others, especially her roommate beside her.

Suddenly her demeanor changed, doing a one eighty if you will. Her ears fell back and she grew shy. Why now of all times did she go shy?!
Ugh! Damn it all for being a female with complicated feelings..
"Hello Athan.."
It was a quiet, shy greeting compared to her usual high-strung remarks and such, causing a blush to rise upon her cheeks.

Athan grinned, sensing some degree of awkwardness and coming right up to them. In a bizarre move of forwardness and potentially offensive and unwanted contact he chose to slither around both of them and pull them closer together with his coils. "Random group hug naga style. Heh, I was just wandering on my way to town and what do I find? A good reason to turn around and follow you both back to the castle if that's where you're heading."

"Well yes we were sir, heh, but it's a little hard to keep walking with you wrapping around us at the same time. That's definitely a firm hello hug you have though." And while he could guess it was primarily for Rynn he couldn't be entirely certain. Almost certain but not completely.

When she figured out what he was going to do once he got close enough, her first reaction was to jump away, but she did not jump. Almost everyone knew Rynn as the type to avoid contact at all times. This time she didn't want to seem rude, but was a little taken back when he pulled both the dragon and her closer.
Gasping from surprise and having to suppress a purr in the back of her throat. She was vaguely remembering things from the other night, cause her to turn redder than the fur she wore. She was starting to like his coils, but grant it, she was still going to be scared of snakes to some degree.
"Yeah, just getting back you know. How've you been?"
She continued blushing, aiming to control her voice enough to sound like this wasn't doing anything to her, however Rynn was pretty sure she was failing at it. As her arms were at her sides, Rynn lightly scratched at his coils, trying to tickle and tease to get him to release them sooner than he was going to.

Athan managed not to laugh, grinning practically ear to ear from the little scratching of his coils. It worked the way she hoped as he slithered off the two of them, laughing now that it wasn't as obvious. "Been good, been good. Well as I really don't even know why I was heading to town guess I'll follow you two back to the school. Especially considering how dangerous the woods are if you aren't ready for them. Heard a student had some trouble even on the dirt road recently."

"Yeah, I'm working on that with Athos. Think we need to take a few other precautions pretty soon, but tonight and tomorrow morning are supposed to be relaxing for me." He couldn't just dump the kids on Rynn. Doing that would just be a good reason for her to bail on everyone.
