Donella ate her meal quietly, watching and listening to the others as they ate and talked.

"Thanks, and I will," Priam said. He left the lab and went in search of his sister.
Samantha frowned at his explanation. Well she was here, wasn't she, and that's what mattered. "Is Eliana still next door? Did the doctor calm her?" She said, changing the subject.

That sounded nice, having your own room. "Thanks," Zaine said, smiling gratefully. "The library is a nice hideaway, too."
"Considering its either who we're hunting or the mercenaries that trail after us, not many get to see us in action. But I see a lot of myself in you. The way you destroyed that punching bag, I almost did that to a trainer. That's when I first met Dyrus. He pulled me off him and threw me on the floor. Then sat on my chest and held my neck down until I came back to myself. He's been my alpha and friend ever since. How many years is that.....I lost count." Vasper replied quietly as he played with the root beer cap on the table.

Madison smirked triumphantly as she pointed out with a big cheesy smile, "Saskia you're agreeing with everything I say. I don't even think there is a gardener's shed. I'm playing poke-a-bear and you're letting me. I..." Madison frowned as someone grabbed her shirt to stop her.
Eirik smiled through the slot in his door. "Tell your friend I'll be her boyfriend..... if she let's me out of this cell for a bit. I know you have lock picks with that little B & E you did back there. " He proposition.

Alastor asked surprised, "Right now?" He frowned as he thought about it more. "Why not, right now. Let's go! No time like the present." He said as he got up with purpose. He smiled warmly and looked to Eliana feeling so much better about things between them.
"Oh well that's good," Samantha said, smirking slightly. Turning to address Harper, she gave her a more genuine smile now. "Thanks," she said, giving her a thumbs-up before taking the glass. She rotated it between her thumb and forefinger, swishing the contents around a moment before taking a swallow. It was thick and warm and tasted a heck of a lot better than the last one—cow, was it? She turned the thumbs-up into a perfect sign as she took another large swallow.Liam noticed the change in direction of the conversation and just followed the new path. "Well there was some sort of fighting between them, then it seemed to calm down in there. Niether of them have come out so they either are both dead or they worked it out." He said with a smile thinking how that fight would go. He would have normally said Eliana would win but having seen how mad Alastor got he had a new found appreciation of the man.
Harper pulled the pouch out and opened it pouring its contents into a glass and headed over to them, holding it out for Sam. "There you go lukewarm, let me know what you think." She said with a small smile.

"That is the other place I end up a lot too. Surprised I haven't bumped into you sooner. " Lyra said with a grin, she meant it literally, he wouldn't have been the first person she had run into. She had run out of fingers to count how many, teachers, other students, heck she had even run into Ioan once.
(think this group got dropped, and these are the last posts I see, so...)
Ares snorted at Adrian's comment. "You're a horse? I didn't realize Ryker was wanting to return to cavalry warfare," he said jokingly.
Leah silently took the lead, weaving in and out of the tight spots of the trees contentedly. She headed in the complete opposite direction of the one she would take to get to her normal quiet place higher up. She wanted to find somewhere where she could be just with him. After about ten minutes of silent walking and enjoyment of the quiet forest, she reached what seemed to be a bit of a swamp, which was nothing special. But something else had caught her eye. Beyond the swamp and to the left of some palm trees, was a small pool of clear freshwater. She smiled and turned to show William with a point of her finger.

"Yeah? I usually stick to the quietest part of the library. Less people to have to talk to and move around." Zaine smiled as he talked, please to have finally found someone with whom conversation came easily.
Leah moved some branches out of her way and gasped at what was before them. It was beautiful. A beauty that maybe she could only see, because she appreciated nature so much. There was pond, shaded by the towering trees, craning down as to guard the place. Beyond the pond was a beautiful view of the cerulean waves of the ocean. She loved it.William smiled watching her in her element as he followed her for a change. When they stopped he looked where she pointed and smiled. "Well I have never seen that before, lets go check it out." He said excitedly.

Samantha watched the deep red liquid run down the inside after she set the glass down. "You sure synthesize well," she said, as much as a compliment as she was capable of giving. "Tastes like human." She rested her elbows on the table as she leaned forward a bit. "Care to taste?" She said, grinning darkly at Liam.Liam chuckled watching her drink blood like a glass of milk. "Yeah I just hope nobody got hurt." He said after a while thinking about whether he should go check on the doctor.
Harper smiled when Sam gave her the thumbs up. "Its synthetic, based off of human blood and manufactured here. That is the synthetic A-, we have all the blood types, well most of them. Glad you like it. Let me know if you have any strange side effects or reactions, or if you find it lasts longer or not as long, that sort of stuff." She said as she made a few notes in her notepad.

(Aww how cute they are bonding, lol. )
Lyra smiled, "There are a lot of quiet places in the library Zaine, there doesn't seem to be too many here who actually like the place." She said with a chuckle as she huffed out a breath. Man how did he walk so darn fast, she wondered absently if she should just shift and ride on his shoulder, then she would be able to keep up at least.
