Leah looked at him in wonder, as the man in front of her changed from human into what seemed to be a dragon. She looked at him, realizing she was holding a hand covered in scales, not skin. She admittedly became a bit nervous at that, bit responded "That's interesting."
Anuerin's gaze followed Nova around the room, and was surprised by some of the drawings she came across. It had been awhile since he paid attention to certain drawings, and they reminded him of the emotions he felt in the memories they were created after. Half of the pictures were drawings were of Amaryllis, where the least amount of charcoal pencil was used to define her features. The unusual amount of light that was used in these pictures helped them to stand out from the rest, as it was used to represent the purity and innocence of his sister's character. There were many dark illustrations of Anuerin after his wings had been removed, an expression of the pain and sorrow he had endured after loosing one of the very few things in life that brought him pleasure. He moved to take down the first drawing he had made after surgery, but after hesitating decided to leave it. He didn't want Nova to see the darkness he had transferred to paper through his pen, but there were too many drawings like this one to take down before she saw them. He couldn't hide himself from people like this forever. It was time Nova knew the truth; to see him for who he truly was.
Nova finished her little 'tour' and looked to Anuerin again, absently wiping a tear away. "You are an amazing artist Anuerin, you can capture the feelings so well even with such a simple medium. These ones of your sister show that you see her as pure and innocent and so lovely. Then these of you...you show yourself as dark, cut off from everyone else, possibly unworthy?" She frowned and looked to him again "Anuerin..."
" Wait a minute....back up Hoss. You punched a lion on steroids in the face? Why exactly? Did he threaten you or attack you Adrian? " Willow asked becoming concerned. She looked him over for any injuries. "If so, we need to report it. I can't stand bullies of any kind." She added almost angerly.
"Yep!" Dimitri replied happily as he headed down the hallway. "Don't worry little house cat, I'll get you there." He replied with a grin.(Our posts)
"Stairs are that way?" Alexis asked, nodding in the direction in question. No, she hadn't been paying attention yesterday.

Allen spun around to see who had spoken. "Gosh you startled me," he muttered—then straightened and put his best smile on. She wouldn't know he had no right to be up here, right? "Walking," he then added. He tightened his grip on the bag that he still held. Walking down the upstairs halls with a bag of cheese sticks in hand, duh. Oh gosh, where was Ashton. "What are you doing up here?" He countered, attempting to turn the light off himself.

Haley set her menu to the side and folded her hands in her lap as she looked around. This certainly made a nice change to the busy and noisy breakfasts at the mansion.

Ares shrugged lightly, as if the females looking his way didn't mean a thing. Actually, he reveled in the attention. It wasn't high school but it was the best one could get around here. "Yeah, it's nice. It's just a pity we're not allowed out."
Vasper frowned and looked to his omelet which was full of papers and onions. " I was human first and they are omnivorous. So yes, I can eat vegetables, nuts and meat proteins. Amaryllis, I'm sorry if you took offense to something I said. I assure you it was not intended in any bad way. There's much I don't know about starfish. " He said quietly as he finally glanced up from his plate to meet her gaze. " but I must admit I'm compelled to learn everything about you." He concluded gently.
"I'm not offended by what you said." Amaryllis spoke with a smile of assurance. "We are both different, and I am sure, we can learn from one another."
Andorra shrugged, it was almost dismissal of her deserving to be happy. She was content in her life her, but far from happy. "My singing used to make me happy." She told Donella quietly.
Vasper smiled hopefully and said, "I think that's a good thing for us both. The learning from one another."
Amaryllis smiled before peering down at her salad. She finished the last few bites and piled her trash onto her tray. "I've decided to talk with Ryker." She announced, releasing a deep breath. "I want to see if there's a way to give Anuerin's his wings."
