... And the update did not arrive. Oh well, take your time. There's no need to rush. Your current affairs are more important to handle.

Chapter 4
Jace sighed as he and Rion reached the floor's infirmary. They handed the injured girls over to the nurses and plunked down on chairs in the small waiting room. Jace turned to the new kid and smiled, "Hey man I appreciate the help." He says while holding out his hand.
Rion shook it as he sat down, "Glad I could help." He paused for a moment then asked, "You think they'll be all right? And what about those riots forming?"
Jace shrugged it off, "David'll have those under control in a jiffy. He's good that way. As for teh girls... Physically I imagine they'll be fine." He groaned slightly covering his hands with his face. "It's my safety I worry about more... Dammit teh last thing I needed was my girlfriend and my little sister to meet like that."
Jace sighed wallowing in self pity for a moment, then snapped back, "Oh. I guess I haven't actually introduced myself. names Jace, Jace Keller. Some people call me Duster. I'm teh captain of the Mixed Martial Arts Club, and leader of Hell's Wrath. Though I imagine I'm not teh best leader as I compliment my so-caled-enemy a lot."
"Ahh, so you're the Captain of that group...." Rion said. "The name's Rion... I got to this school just in time for the year to start." He said, laughing a bit. "I will say this, that group does seem a bit interesting...... but I dunno..." He said with a shrug. "And what do you mean by that guy being your so-called enemy?" He asked, with a confused look on his face.
Jace raised a eyebrow, "You are new here then. Well, hmm. It's complicated. But I'll give it my best shot to explain." He clears his throat and shifts in his chair a bit.
"Well, David there is on the student council and in teh group 'Heaven's Judgment' Now they are an officially recognized group in teh school that helps uphold the laws and make sure nobody is doing anything to stupid. They're also charged with hunting down people who have done something stupid and punishing them. Now when this group was first created, sometime around when I got to the school, they were great. They were a protection for the students. But eventually kids took law breaking to a whole new level, a sometimes lethal one. HJ there had to get more and more strict. And larger as more students came into teh school. This is where I think they started to fail as a group. Some of them were taking bribes, or joined it just for the chance to wail on someone and claim it was for upholding the law. Kid's became more and more afraid of them. Some made small gangs or specialty groups allied with HJ, those kid's got special favors, or sometimes HJ would look the other way when they did something bad. Now not every Enforcer is like that, Take David for instance, people like Him I respect, they actually help the school. But that doesn't excuse them for everything they've done in teh name of 'justice'. Now about 2 years ago, Dray, a friend of mine left the enforcers because of an incident.. One I've been asked to keep a secret. Anyways, that pissed me off, So with his help we started our own little group, Hell's Wrath. We're branded as punks and miscreants, but we're not AS big as people think, not just anyone gets in for one... But our purpose is to uphold the principals of this school, even when the laws conflict.. Which is quite a lot considering the nature of this place. Anyways that puts us at odds with the school Enforcers quite a bit."
"I see.... so in a sense, you and Hell's Wrath are trying to become the new Heaven's Judgment....." Rion said. "Which, while good, you're going about it in possibly the wrong way, since most of your actions conflict with laws....." He said, an expression on his face that showed he was deep in thought. "But Heaven's Judgment is becoming corrupted.... so why doesn't David rally them up and straighten them out? That makes no sense."
"Replace em? Maybe. A think a little healthy competition promotes well being... Though in this school... As for doing it the wrong way, what other way did we have to do? Right and wrong differs from one persons point of view to the next. Oh and David isn't the leader of Heaven's Judgment. Bek Storm, more commonly called Black Phoenix leads them. And all but a few fear him. His rule is absolute. At least thats what he shows to teh student body. I dunno, there must be some redeeming qualities about him to make a man like David follow him.. All I know is that when HJ started it was good, but the more corrupted it became, teh tighter teh hold Bekky Boy tried to make on teh student body. I think he went about this the wrong way. He went for Absolute Power to give him to try to force peace. But that never works, especially in a school like this..." Jace says, thinking about his long term rival.
"Meh, but out of this little power struggle, I've seen people go from weaklings who regularly got shoved into lockers, to people beating the crap out of people who shove kids into lockers. Like my friend Sim for instance. Geekiest guy you'll meet, but through these little struggles, he's become an excellent Kendo fighter. Proud to have him as a friend." He looks thoughtful for a second. "I guess friendships is another part of it, I mean I lead Hell's Wrath, but most people don't know its me. Happier that way it means I don't have to fight as much... Thats thanks inn most part to my friend Dray, who most often gets mistaken for HW's leader... Something he likes I assume. Anyways most gangs are made of close knit friends or people with the same ideals... you following me so far?"
"I see.... yeah I'm following." Rion said to Jace. "That makes sense.... it was a lot like that in the place I went to middle school in.... except nobody tried to stop and form order..... I suppose there's only one option here...... surely someone here can defeat this Black Phoenix, am I right? Seems like if he's knocked down a few pegs, order can return..... hopefully....." He said. He wasn't sure which side to pick in all this. Heaven's Judgment was corrupt, but it had people like David who he could ally with in an attempt to restore it to its former glory..... but Hell's Wrath is planning on trying to stop this corruption, although they're not going about it in the right way, although it's the only way. This would have to be something he would think long and hard about before making a decision.
"Take Bek down a notch? HA. That'll be fun to watch. he's the top ranked fighter in the school. Mind you I've never tried for the rankings... Might this year... Anyways, I like you kid. You've got personality. So If you decide where you will stand talk to me or Dray, he's tall black hair, black hoodie and travels with a guinea pig named Bob... It'd surprise you to know, Hell's Wrath only has 5 members. Anyone else either sides with us, or tries to ruin our name. Keep that in mind. Oh the nurse is coming." He gets up and speaks with the head nurse briefly and breathes a sigh of relief. "So they'll be here t'ill second period?" He looks at Rion, "You better get back to class. I'll stick around here."
"All right, I'll let the teacher know. Talk to you later." Rion says getting up and heading back to the classroom. Making a mental note to talk to David about all this later.
Jace sighs as Rion walks away. He starts to twirl his hair trying to think of a way to deal with Vivian and Adrianna. He pauses and looks up as he see;s a familiar figure walk by. "Hey Drax!" He calls out.
The younger girl looks up form her book to see who just called her name out. Focusing her eyes on Jace she smiles and walks over. "Oh hey Jace. What are you doing here?"
"Vivian got into a fight. I'm waiting here for her to get out."
Drax twitched almost imperceptibly at Vivian's name. "Oh? Who was she fighting?"
"This is teh fun part. You remember Addy? She joined up. Using MY last name. Claiming to be my fiance' in-front of Vivian!" Jace sighed. had his mind not been elsewhere he may have noticed Drax's twitch but he didn't. Poor dumb stupid bastard he is.
"Addy's here?" Drax mentally fumed. Another bit of competition. She used teh fact Vivian broke up with her brother Dray as an excuse to hate her so people never caught on to teh real reason... Which has worked well for teh brunette so far. She had thought though, when her, Dray and Jace had left Japan to move to the school she had left Addy behind as a rival.. But now this...
"Yeah she's here all right... Hey... aren't you supposed to be in typing? and isn't that, you know in another building?"
The color drained slightly from Drax's face. "Crap! I got so involved in my book I must've gone into teh wrong building!"
Jace laughed as he motioned her to sit own beside him. "Don;t worry, I'll walk you to class here in a few minutes. They'll let it go if I show up with you. So what book are you reading?"
Drax lets out a mental cry of victory over one small battle won. "Oh re-reading Dune. Just got to the part where teh Harkonnen invade Arakeen."
Jace leans in closer reading over her shoulder, "Sweet. Dune's a classic... Hey! You gotta come over tonight then! Me, Dray and the gang are having a movie night at my place. It is Saturday tomorrow after all. Hmm, we should watch Dune!"
She giggled slightly, her cheeks turning red slightly as Jace moved in closer. "But the David Lynch version right? i didn't like the mini-series."
Jace shrugged now engrossed himself into teh book. "All right." He shakes his head and stands up and holds out his hand. "C'mon I'll escort you to the classroom, we can talk more on the way."
She nods at him takes his hand and heads down of the hall with him, standing close enough to make Vivian, who'd just woken up and still groggy, worry as she saw teh 2 from teh corner of her eye walking away, just before the nurse re-adjusted something on a drip leading into her arm, sending her back to dreamland.

Chapter 5
Dray growled in frustration. Making sure both ray and Sim got to their classes had made him late for his own. The fact he had to repeat the class form last year was not making matters better. The school system had 'lost' all of results for the course from last year, forcing him to re-do it. Stopping briefly by his locker Dray grabbed a massive pile of paper work. he was glad he had decided to save all the work he did last year. Grunting as he lifted the pile he walked into the classroom.
The teacher glanced up at him, "Nice of you to join us Mr To-Good-For-A-Last-Name what are you holding?"
Dray glared at the teacher then plopped the work on his desk. "My work for the year. I'm going to leave now and only show up briefly at the begging of each class. Got it?"
"And why do you think I'll let you do that?" The teacher said mustering all of his courage to meet Dray's glare. A staff meeting had been held at the beginning of the year to not let students, no matter how dangerous they were, to walk all over the teacher. Mr Budak (the teacher) decided the line had to be drawn here.
Dray drew in close, "This is Biology right? If you don't let me leave we'll study human biology. namely YOURS. Am I understood?"
The teacher gulped. "yes..." Oh well, one had to pick and choose your battles after all.
With that Dray turned and walked out of the room.
--
Bek, in his normal state of irritation, runs headfirst into a student. "Oh sorry, wasn't watching where I was going." He says standing up, he pauses looking the kid over, "Your new here right?"
"Good eyes. Yeah I just transferred here with a few of my friends. Names Seth Meizwa. My pals call me Tank." He says, adjusting his sunglasses. "You are?"
"Bek, Bek Storm. Student Council President." He says shaking Tank's hand. "You willingly transferred here? That is... Well not a first but it's not exactly the popular choice around here."
"I dunno, I like it here so far. Seems like an interesting place. Besides it has the best fighting clubs." He says a with a slight glint in his eye.
"Well I guess that is the usual attraction... What are you interested in?"
"Boxing! I heard the Captains a professional boxer to!" He says, "I wanna be able to beat him. Prove I belong here."
"You seem sure of your self." Bek says, leaning back on a locker.
"I am the champion street fighter of my old town." Tank says matter of factly.
"Hmm, not bad not bad but the boxing captain is..." He pauses seeing Dray walking down the hall, he grins getting an idea. "Right there, Hey Dray! Come here!" he calls out.
Dray looks up and sees Bek talking to a student he didn't recognize. The fact Bek called him over was an oddity unto itself. Shrugging mentally he walks over. "Yes oh corrupter of the innocent? How may I help?"
"Cute." Bek says glaring at Jace, then smiles sweetly. "We have a transfer student here, and it seems he wants to join the boxing team and challenge the captain."
This piqued Dray's interest, "Oh? Gunning for me are we?" He says in good humor to Tank as he sizes the other student up. Tank appeared to be one of the few who could match Dray's rather impressive height of 6'4, appearing to be just an inch or so shorter then Dray, and far more muscular. "That'll be fun." He says smiling.
“All right, kill the gaze-fest here. Dray, I have an idea. New guy here should get the opportunity to check you out a bit. And i really need a fight to blow off steam. You're just about as good as Jace for venting.” He says to the both of them.
“Well... How can I say no to beating your face in?” Dray says smiling. “You wanna go at it here fame boy?” He says dropping into a fighting pose.
“No no... Seeing as this will be... An 'Official' spar, we'll hold it outside in the arena.” Bek says. Turning and walking towards the door.
Dray and Tank look at each other, then at Bek. They shrug and follow him outside.
--
Outside Dray stretches his arms up a bit as they walk through the walkways towards the glass building that held the ring used for student competitions. As The trio walk in Dray picks Bob up out of his hoodie and hands him to Tank. “Can ya watch him for me?”
“Uh, Sure.” Tank says, moderately surprised he had a guinea pig in the hood of his hoodie.
“Thanks.” Dray says as he peels off his hoodie and the shirt underneath, revealing a broad muscular chest covered in scars. Tank's eyes go wide in surprise at the number and size of some of them. Dray merely continues and takes off his jeans, leaving him with the pair of boxing shorts he always wears underneath.
Meanwhile Bek had changed into shorts and a black tank top and was waiting for Dray in the ring, both swords drawn. “Move or lose it Angel Boy!”
Dray cringed at hearing his old nickname, and removed the silver necklace he wore, 2 black angel wings flanking a dragon skull. “hold your horse Flame-Tard.” Dray says as he nimbly hops into the ring. He turns to Tank, “Ref, rules please.”
“Uh, all right. Victory by ring out, KO or one person admits defeat. Are you ready?” Both fighters nodded. “Then Go!” Tanks says, stepping away from the ring, Bob in his hands.
Dray wastes no time as he dashes forward, catching Bek in the stomach with a fast left, as Bek looks down dray viscously swings his right arm, smashing Bek in the face. Bek reels backwards, quickly forced into the corner by Dray's sudden assault. He manages to regain composure as Dray runs towards him.
Bek bends forward slightly and swings his right sword, catching Dray off guard leaving a long and shallow slash across the larger teen's chest. Dray pauses in surprise. An opportunity Bek doesn't miss. Using momentum gained he now swings in a downward stabbing motion with his left sword. A blow Dray barely manages to block with his arms. Opening up a bright red slash on both arms. He catches Dray left side with a kick he had started using the sword as a decoy. Dray grunts in pain as on of his ribs breaks, then groans as Bek kicks him with his right leg, breaking a rib on that side of the body as well.
Dray backs up to the middle of the ring, glaring at a now smug looking Bek. He fumed as the other boy dropped into his almost unbreakable defensive stance. He smacks himself in the face glares at Bek, pure hatred showing on his face. Then charges forward, a clash of the greatest offensive force in the school, against he greatest defensive one. Dray sends a flurry of heavy blows, hi, low, hooks and uppercuts all at Bek. Bek either blocks them, or lets them through as a trap, slashing the arm and then Dray's chest with his blades. The bigger boy merely grunts, neither of them yielding. Throwing all caution to wind Dray starts to mix powerful kicks in with his punches.
Slowly, even Bek's defense starts to be overwhelmed by the massive onslaught. As Dray lands a few heavy blows to critical locations, Bek's face twists in agony but he refuses to back down. Crap! I gotta end this soon before my arms give way. Already his arms were becoming heavier and heavier. Just blocking these hits were severely hurting his arms. Even now it was a show of willpower that was keeping them up. Formulating a last minute desperation plan, he slashes Dray twice across his chest. Leaving large deep marks, forcing Dray backwards. He then drops into a very unique stance, with his hands gripping his sword at his sides he bends down slightly.
Dray, who is doing all he can not to scream in pain despite his monstrous pain tolerance level, looks at Bek's stance. One that he's very familiar with. “Sonuvacrap.” Is all he says as flames start to appear on Bek's blades.
Bek drops his knee close to the ground then as he pushes himself up he does a rising x-slash in the air, “ Rising Phoenix Slash!” He says in a vaguely anime-ish style, as he sends a massive blast of air pressure and fire towards Dray.
Dray sees the slash coming and blocks his face with his hands. He gets nailed dead on my the massive ball of flame and is flung backwards into the ropes, flipping over and out of the ring. Landing face first onto the cold concrete floor. He rolls onto his back and looks at his chest, most of the open wounds had cauterized from the fireball. He sighs and the groans as he notices the black hair dye he used had started to melt, revealing green hair underneath.
In the ring, Bek made a sound of triumph then collapsed onto the floor, leaning against he rope. To sore to lift his arms.
Tank watched slightly slack jawed when the fireball hit Dray and sent him flying. He shakes his head and says, “Well. I guess that makes Bek the winner!”
Bek smiles as the feeling in his arms begins to return. “Was there any doubt?”
“You damn right there was doubt!” Dray says from the floor. “Crap! I need to start buying flame proof hair dye.” he groans. He starts to sit up, then cracks his neck and stands. “Your just lucky ring out was a condition of victory pal. In a real fight... I dunno.”
Bek to was unsure as to what would happen in a true fight with no rules. But he wasn't about to admit that. Or go looking for that situation. “Bah you talk big pal.” He says finally able to get out of the ring. He puts on the rest of his clothes and looks at Dray who is done the same. “Well let that be a future insight to the upcoming ranking tournament.”
On a sidenote: Mortalis High has 3 School wide ranking tournaments. One 2 weeks into the school year, one mid-way through and one before the year ends. The first for this year is in 4 days.
Dray laughs, “Well it's not like I beat you last time. But this year... I've got a surprise for you. Jace is joining the tourny's.”
Bek's face pales slightly at this news. But he shrugs it off. “We'll see if he makes it pass the prelims... Anyway, Tank what did you think?” He says quickly shifting topics.
Tank hands Bob back to Dray who returns the small creature to the warmth of his hood, before answering. “Well, I think I may have a little ways to go before challenging you Dray.” he says laughing. “But at least i think I can prove to be an interesting sparring partner in team practice.
Dray laughs as he hears that. Not many people could watch that fight and say something like that afterwards. “I look forward to it. Now I hate to fight and run but I want to make sure my sister got to the right class. I really don't trust her not to get lost.” he says as he turns and leaves heading towards the school buildings in search of Drax.
Bek looks at Tank, “Well. I'd be happy to show you around the school till next period.”
Tank smiles, “I'll take you up on that.” He says as the 2 walk off away from the arena.

That was a good fight. I'm not sure why Dray would choose to use fists when Bek has swords though, that's asking for pain. Or maybe to lose an arm. Fists are all fine and great but when the other guy has two swords you'd better get yourself a weapon.

.. Wowie, Dray is one violent kid. And he already gets into a fight. And I agree that mister Dray should get a shield or a weapon for slef defensive and the offensive. Mind if I ask where you got the name Budak from?

Post by Drayconis on Nov 15, 2007 12:42:55 GMT -5
he was my high school science teacher. And Dray does have a weapon, he just almost never uses it. Not to mention, Bek fighting Dray swordless is very much in Drays favour... But yeah Dray does use a weapon when the situation calls for it.. It just would fit in a ring.

Post by Professor Fann on Nov 15, 2007 14:01:59 GMT -5
Well, that's interesting. The use of cameos. Ironically, I recognized Budak as a term of a foreign language, meaning "child". I was curious as it was very identical in spelling, and it is. ... So, I guess that Dray would need a basketbal field if he were to use his own weapon.
Ah, keep up the good work, the greatest of your collection.

He could have been more violent and easily won when he wanted to, but here we saw none of it. That's how I saw it. Or we can wait for a more authoritative reply from Dray.

well, int you guys specil. Apparently i've been in the updating mood..

Chapter 6
As Tank wandered with Bek showing him the sights he pauses for a moment. “Bek, there's one question that's bothering me a little about your fight.”
Bek looked at the taller teen, “Shoot.”
“Well. If Dray really is a good fighter, why would he get into a ring when you have swords? I mean that seems like an idiotic thing to do.” Tan says.
“Hmmm, while I shouldn't deny him being a fool... You saw the scars on his body right? One would assume he got those challenging armed kids... But he's had those from before I ever knew him...” He paused for a moment tying to think up the right memory before continuing, “Well. Dray has annihilated I suppose is the only word that fits, so many different people who were guy thingyy because they had a weapon... Mind you there was a time he used a weapon. That was a couple of years back. We had both been in the school awhile and were members of Heaven's Judgement. He had attained a far higher rank then any other student his age. I actually figured him for the next leader... But that's a different story... Anyway Archangel, as he was known back then, used a huge massive beast of a sword. Called it a Zanbatou after seeing it in a few manga. Didn't exist historically mind you, but that didn't stop him from getting one made. Even named the damn thing Draton. Anyway, when he left HJ he stopped using it, think he saw it as a sign of his former life or something. Although I imagine he still has it around somewhere...” Bek says finishing his little story.
Tank looks at him, “Well that's interesting... I guess... But why did yo go into the ring with swords?”
Bek laughed, “Cause there was no way in hell I was gonna go in without them. In an open area, I would. Then I could use my flame abilities to greater effect. But in a ring? That he practically lives in? Where use of flame powers could trash the ring and probably DQ me? Unarmed, and I am loathe to admit this, he is a far, far better fighter then me.”
Tank shrugged, his curiosity answered. “All right then, lets continue on the tour.”
--
Dray mumbled to himself as he wrapped his arms in special bandages Sim had gotten for him a while back to help heal and relieve burns faster then normal. He sat on the bench of the courtyard fountain sighing. 2 free classes in a row now that he dealt the fear of god into his Bio teacher. After all he did have a free period coming up. He leans back sighing, the yells in surprise as he falls into the fountain. “Sunofabitchthatscold.” He says as he sits up.
A feminine laugh interrupts his self misery. He looks up to see Jace and Drax laughing at him. Jace reaches a hand out and pulls his best friend to his feet. “So. I'm thinking form the burn marks and the slash wounds you got into a fight with Bek?”
Dray smiles, “You may in-fact be correct. But hey, it was 'sanctioned' ring match. We had a ref and everything.”
“Scorched your ass and blew you out of the ring didn't he?” Jace said.
“...Maybe...”
“Well you agreed to it so i can't feel sorry for you... But hey. Me and Drax are organizing movie night for tonight. Your thoughts?” Jace asks his friend.
“Hmm, Aliens maybe? Followed by Starship Troopers.” Dray says drying his hair.
“Eh, we'll add them to the draw.” His younger sister says to him.
Dray pauses and looks thoughtful as if remembering something. “right! Now I remember... Drax why the hell aren't you in class?” He says on the verge of yelling.
Jace steps between he two, “Hey Dray it's my fault, I saw her walking by and I guess I've been sucking up her time.”
Drax leans on Jace, “Hey it's ok Jace.” Believe me, it's VERY Ok, She thinks to herself.
Dray sighs and shakes his head, “Fine fine, it's not like I've never skipped class. Say, Jace, where' Vivian... Don't you and her have Japanese right now?”
Jace's face pales, “She got into a fight... She's in the infirmary healing up right now.”
“Oh? She never gets into fights though... You know who it was she was fighting?” Dray asks.
“Yeah... You remember Addy right?” Jace says, nervousness creeping into his voice.
“Who wouldn't? It's cause of her you were forced to sleep in various tree's for almost 3 years- Wait, She's here isn't she?” Dray says, laughter starting to break into hi voice s Jace nods an affirmative to his question. “ha! That's priceless! You're so incredibly screwed! You know how protective and jealous Vivian gets. And add Addy in...”
“You haven't heard the best part, She changed her last name to Keller, and declared me her fiance' after kissing me on the lips, in-front of Vivian.” Jace says letting out a sigh full of self-pity.
Dray pats him on the back, doing his best to keep from laughing, “Good luck with that man. Hey is Addy in med to I should really go say hi. After all we parted on pretty good terms.”
“Yeah they told me she would wake up first, I guess we could go pick them up. Hopefully straighten things out..” Jace pauses at the face Dray gives him.
“Your not going to be able to straighten things with Addy if you tried for a year straight man. Let's just go, ask her to get along with Vivian, and invite her to movie night.” Dray says heading of towards the building.
Jace, with Drax in tow, runs after him, “Are you insane? Then she'll know where I sleep!”
Dray just laughs and continues walking.
--
Meanwhile something almost totally unrelated is going on in the computer labs. In the hallway across from the gym Sim is thanking whatever deity of love smiles on him as he finds out he is the only student in his advanced Comp-Sci class. So instead of wasting money on giving him a full fledged teacher, the young nurse who is studying to become a teacher was given the job.
The young 25-year old Sarine was easily impressed with his intellect and had moved in nice and close to him. He paused, checked his schedule o see his next class was also like this, just him and her, and smiled to himself. He glanced at her and she glanced back at him. It was all he could do not to leap for joy when she winked at him and softly licked her lips. Just as the 15-year old was about to die in ecstasy the door to the room flies open and he sees Ray walk in.
Ray had been kicked out of his Advanced battle Tactics class when he inadvertently knocked the student TA unconscious and destroyed several computers brought in for tactical simulations. He was pissed off he was going to miss out on his favorite class, but resigned himself to go bother his best friend who was only a few doors down. “Hey Sim!” He says all to cheerfully. He pauses as he notices the dimmed lights and the young nurse leaned in towards his friend. “Uh.. Am I interrupting something?”
“No, nothing at all.” Sarine says as she straightens her shirt out and steps back from Sim a couple of steps. “Mr Kendall right? Don't you have a class to attend?” She says, traces of hope in her voice.
“Nah they kicked me out. Said I was to dangerous to have around computers.” He says throwing his bag on the floor and plunking down into a computer chair.
Sim tries not to pull his hair and growls, “So why are you HERE Ray?”
His friend shrugs, “It was close. I'd rather not wander along the halls. Plus now I can game online... You guys don't mind do you?”
Both Sim and Sarine growl out in an extremely fake tone of happiness, “No. Of course not.”
Totally oblivious to all Ray pops on a set of headphones, “Sweet. Don't mind me and continue on with your lesson.”
Sarine sighs and leans in close to Sim, “Later then.” She says softly kissing the tip of his ear.
Sim turns a bright shade of red and nods dumbly as Sarine sits at the front desk and opens up a book. Sim sighs then decides to get some designing done in the now free time Maybe he could finally finish that gun Jace wanted from him.

Yes I can understand why Bek would use swords, I understand that Dray is a way better fist fighter. What I still don't understand is why Dray is so damn anxious to lose an arm.
And Ray really is a fool if he didn't understand what was going on, I've walked in on my roomate twice and he's walked in on me once and we both understood immediately that we were to vacate the premise for an hour or so..
