As Selene moves through the air her heightened senses kick in. She was pouncing at her target. No matter how playful she made it look she was attacking him. Just then she sees him move. A shift? She thinks. Everything to her was moving slowly. Almost still, but she saw him move. Then move back. He...he could of dodged? He didn't even see me coming... He just knew. You bastard...DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!!! For that half a second of air time Selene's face shifted to a murderous look. For some reason this mans movements offended her greatly. Her fingers were almost claws. Like a viscous cat to a mouse. He doubted her. Or so she thinks. Selene collides with the man with such force that they go much farther, and faster than she anticipated. Throwing them through the door. Rauj was the first to hit something solid making Selene's impact much softer. That must of done something to him. Must of hurt in a way. I has to. After the chaos Selene finds herself on the floor covered in books and papers. She groans and begins to stand up when something grabbs her shoulders and lifts her up. She forgets sometimes how light she can be. She looks up to see Rauj. As he begins to slightly scold her she lowers her head gritting her teeth. Visibly. Not from the scolding but because of the skill gap between. At least from close range. She knows she isn't the best, but she should of been able to handle this. The information she was given about him was clearly incorrect or a least vastly outdated. How many have come after him and potentially died from this misinformation.
She pauses for a second when he asks her if she was okay. If her knew why she was there these formalities wouldn't exist. She fought very hard to hold back tears from everything she has been through up till now, and this moment coupled with the stress from her lack of skill was about to throw her over the emotional edge. Her face was red and her body was shaking. She heard Dethrial enter the room and speak, but she didn't acknowledge him. She wasn't trying to be rude, but at this moment any attempt to speak would start and end with a mental break down. Why? Why is this so hard? I don't get it. She thinks. I've killed before. This should be easy. Oh no I don't think I can hold this back anymore. The stress had finally reached a breaking point. Her eyes flowed. She was always taught to hold back emotion. You had to, but with everything so far she just couldn't. She latches to Rauj. Burring her face into him. She begins to sob. Though its muffled. Her legs grow weak and they fall from under her. At this point the is hanging off of him. Face still buried. It was the only thing she could think of aside from out right making a scene. No one will understand why she was doing it. Nothing had happened to him that was bad enough for her to do this, and they just met a day ago. Yet it was all she could think of.

Ismay listened to J and Dethrial speak while she waited to figure out what was going on. “What do you mean?” She replies to Dethrial, somewhat confused about who he was talking about earlier.“She's a student.”
Unfortunately, the bizarre meeting escalated even further as a blur barreled directly into J, smashing the door in the process and throwing the office into disarray. “Oh... my god.” The knight whispers, putting her her hand to her mouth. Lemaire’s office was a disaster. Papers were flung to and fro, along with… just about everything everything else essentially. Worst of all, the door was taken clean off its hinges. Maybe clean wasn’t the correct description… Regardless, this turned out to be quite distressing to Ismay. Lemaire, who was just made late to her meeting while being threatened and mocked, left the group outside her office. The same office that was now doorless… Even if this was an accident, it wouldn't look like one… Her eyes darted from J, to Rey as he slapped the girl’s head, and finally to the figure that tackled the former. It was a small girl… a child even… clinging desperately to J. “She's with them too?” Ismay folds her arms in thought. “I'd say I'm surprised but… I suppose I'm not.” These people were anything but ordinary, but if she planned on working with them, she best get accustomed to irregularity.
Rey begins introducing his two companions to the others, including Ismay. “A pleasure to meet you, Eva.” She nods politely, unmoved by her sudden shifts in tone. The rather attractive girl then addresses Ismay directly, expressing her desire to be ‘better friends’. The knight blinks a few times as she meets eye to eye with Eva. She was struggling to find the right response… but she couldn't put her finger on why just yet. It should've been much more shocking to be flirted with so casually. “...I’m sure that would be nice.” Ismay finally replies, having only faltered for what seemed like a miniscule amount of time. It was the most appropriate thing she could have said in the moment. She completely ignored the first half of the remark, but only because the words wouldn't come. Whoever this girl really was, she was apparently 'dangerous' and armed with quite the tongue.
Ismay was particularly grateful that her attention was drawn to the doll. “Hello Cliff, apologies if I was staring earlier.” Although he was the one staring first with an ominous vibe, she said sorry because she initially thought he looked like junk. “Macrame is a wonderful hobby!” This was a more honest statement, every soul should have something they enjoy. Soul… Obviously this doll was anything but ordinary, Rey assured her of that. Perhaps a soul bound through necromancy? Then who would be the necromancer? Rey? He fit the physical description at least… Before she jumped to conclusions, she planned on talking with him later provided she wasn't talking to Dethrial about his homeland. Cliff explains that he had more evidence that might help the investigation, to which Ismay mentally cheers.
“I like your hair.” Cliff says in passing, heading towards J. “O-oh thank you!” She gives a soft laugh. She didn't usually spend much time attempting to turn heads, yet she'd been complimented twice for her appearance. She was certainly a degree of flattered. The more Cliff talked, the more she felt like she was conversing with a young child. That wasn't a negative thing by any means, just an observation she happened to make. There was really no way of telling considering this wasn't your average human being, however, none of this really mattered at the moment. Ismay had 3 things to do ASAP. She needed to figure out who this mystery person was, what exactly Cliff found, and how she was supposed to fix this door situation.
“Rey, I suggest we move far away from the office like Cliff suggested. Lemaire will be… less than pleased if she catches you all here with this door torn apart.” As much as these people seemed antagonistic to the law, they were on the track to find Winters, and Ismay needed all the help she could get. Giving them some leeway to be themselves seemed like the best course of action.

The thief looks from the bunny he just recently helped up, to the Doll who casually strolls over to him, offering a helping hand. He refuses the offer at first, opting to get up of his own strength, but a sharp twinge of pain in his right side forces him to reconsider his decision. using both the nearby desk and the doll, he rises back to his feet and proceeds to both lightly reprimand Selene and ask if she was fine. She says nothing in response, but from where he could see all he could tell was that the girl seemed embarrassed with her situation. Moving on, and allowing her time to collect herself, Rauj looks back to the doll and responds, tilting his head slightly at the odd question, as he attempts to get a better gauge of the situation. The doll seemed oddly self-aware; he wasn't sure if it was being puppet-ed or not, though there were only a few ways he could think of to find out. Since it wasn't currently trying to attack, conversation seemed the optimal course. "Thanks for the assistance... Umm, yeah, I suppose you could say I know a thing or two... Any particular-"
The young rabbit clings desperately to him, and he nervously staggers in reaction. "Selene? Hey? Selene? What...?" The thief notices her sobbing as she starts to lose her footing. "Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey, hey! Does something hurt? What's wrong? Selene?!" He begins to lower himself to better comfort her, its the only thing he can think of as his mind filed through many different reasons for her current state. As he does so the pain in his side strikes again and he takes a seat with a heavy thump. "Aw hell, i messed up. Didn't take that tackle well at all." He tries to adjust to a more comfortable position as he cradles the girl, just letting her cling and cry. As she sobs, he sighs and apologies to the Doll, starting up conversation with it once again. "... Interesting question to ask, any reason you want to know?" He listens to the conversations outside the door, raising his eyebrow in particular when the girl named Eva introduces herself. When Rey walks in and puts his hand on its shoulder as he introduces it, he nods to the Doll. "Name's 'J'. Nice to meetcha Cliff, I'm guessing Rey let you know what was going on, he looks past the doll towards the door it emerged from, finally getting a look at the name. "Oh ho, good on ya. What'd ya snag... oh actually hold up."
He pats the bunny child "Hey, Selene? We probably should get outta here, someone will probably come check out what happened soon. Can you stand?" He doesn't present the option of carrying her, already extremely uncomfortable with her latching to him like this. It was the first time he'd let a female, never-mind a female rabbit-rogue, get this close to him in a long time, and he was trying to comfort her, but his body and mind were fighting the urge to tense and push her off. As he gets back up (carrying Selene or not) he tilts his head towards the door, visually motioning his intention to leave the room. "If ya wanna check her room, now's the time. If she was as un-receptive as she seemed to be, she could be hiding something herself, or something about the overall academy."

As the papers and books settled and J managed to stand back up but showed signs of an injury Dethrial paused to raise an eyebrow as Ismay raised a question to the accusation against the girl who's voice was full of venom. Rey then quickly explained who Eva and Cliff, with giving Eva a slap on the back of the head and a quick scolding. This almost fatherly habit made Dethrial rub his chin and Cliff's awkward movements and comments made Dethrial crack a smile. "I'm very sorry Reymundo your friend caught me off guard. Is Eva a lover of yours or just a close friend? And Cliff seems to have a soul and as long as he's not trying to kill me I'm fine with him." Dethrial then walks over to Eva and lowers his voice "Let's keep this simple, don't lie to me. I'm your 'friend' so let's keep this very informal." Dethrial then turns to Rey and gives him a sad smile "I'm sorry we didn't learn anything new unless you are interested in a crazy dream. Also, I trust you but if this involves more innocent blood being split on an emotional tirade or revenge I will stop you or try my damnedest to do so...and if are going to help each other you need to level with me and not hide things from me."
Dethrial silently watches as Selene breaks down and resits his fatherly urge to try an sooth the child as J tries his best to stay calm his face a mix of sorrow and nervous panic. Ismay brought up the door that had been knocked down and a need for a hasty retreat and Dethrial came up with a idea "if the door it's self is still solid but the hinges are busted I can fix that with a bit of effort and they should look like new." Dethrial then walks over to Ismay and asks her "What is Macrame? And I hope you can forgive me for my previous comments but now that it's clear you have no interest in me. but I will still be your ally as long as I can and keep away from any personal barriers."

Reymondo turns around quickly when he hears Selene tackle Hammer through the door and break it down. Enkidu gets startled by the sudden loud noise and all of the quick movement. He lets out a cry, letting people know about its discomfort. He shakes his head while sighing slighly, he then notices all of the papers that flies about. He bends down and picks up all the papers and books as he walks back inside the office. He puts the book on her desk as he makes his way around to the front of it and checks to see if the he can open any of the shelfs. If he can, he is going to scan everything inside each part he can open, looking for anything that could help or see if Lemaire is hiding anything. Even if he can't, he is going to check the papers he picked up as well, looking for the same thing. If he finds anything, he is going to hold onto it while putting the papers he doesn't need back on her desk.
Rey then sees Selene crying as she clings tightly to Hammer. He frowns at thins, "What did you do?" As he waits for his answer, he looks at Deth to answer him. "I do not harm the innocent. I would of thought that my actions would of shown that. However, I will do anything I need to in order to find Winters. As for lying, I only withhold information if I don't think anything good can come from sharing it. I hide very little."
Rey then turns to both Ismay and Cliff, "I agree, let's get out of here. I would really not get kicked out of this academy because of a knocked down door."

Cliff waits for J to finish calming down Selene. "My teacher once told me the tale of a legendary brawler. I wish to be as strong as that brawler, but I can't gain strength through exercise like a human. Instead, I need money to buy upgrades. I have offered my servitude to master Reymondo in exchange for money, but after witnessing many fights, I have come to realize that strength is useless without skill. That is why i need someone to teach me to fight. If you can prove your skills in hand to hand combat, I will give you the same offer as master Reymondo. Teach me to fight, and I will be your loyal servant. Of course, obviously, I must prove that I can be of use to you."
Cliff attempts to slip 3 silver and a fast food coupon into J's right pocket without anyone noticing.
"but perhaps I will show you what I am capable of at a later time."
He then makes a passing comment to Dethrial before helping Remondo pick up papers. "Macrame is a hobby for people who are really skilled at tying knots"

"Oh, it will be sweetie trust me..." Eva says with a slight grin. "Hmm, a little resistance, but I think I can have some leeway with her now, I wond-". Before she could finish that thought, a loud crashing noise intterupted her. Suddenly the door was ripped off it's hinges and bounding in behind it was a very familiar bunny girl. "Oh boy..." Eva thinks to herself as Selene crashes into one of the new strangers. Eva then starts chuckling "Damn it Rey, you sure know how to choose'em". Eva was greatly amused by Selene's actions, mostly because it's something SHE would have done.
"Now that my friends is an entrance! I have to hand it to you Selene, you're really a girl after my own heart! Maybe your technic could use a little ironing out, but you've got potential..." Eva then notices that Selene has been crying since the second she hit the floor, and was now clinging to the very same man she just tackled like he was her father. This slightly upset Eva, mostly due to her troubled past. She couldn't stand to see kids cry or sad. Besides, given Rauj's expressions, her was clearly not comfortable defusing the situation. "Hey what's wrong kiddo? It's no big deal! No one got really hurt, and it looked pretty badass! I'd call that a win any day!" Eva then moves to pat Selene on the head, when she hears Rey mention leaving the area, which given the mess thats been made is probably a good idea. "Hey, come on let's go Selene. If you cheer up, I'll even buy you a treat!"

As Rauj freaks from Selene's contact she grips harder to stay attached. It was a natural reaction. Seemingly for the both of them. Though he is speaking to her she doesn't actually hear him. Shes so enveloped in what she is going through her mind is blocking out everything else. A few moments pass and she begins to catch herself. She hears Rauj ask if she can stand. This snaps her out of her episode. Even though her face is buried her eyes are wide. She slowly lets go and slowly rises and steps back. She looks left and right. No one really seems to concerned with her. She can see Dethrial out of the corner of her eye. He looks more concerned for her that most there. Aside from Rauj to a point. "Ah..." She says. The words slowly fade. Her eyes shift around what she can see in the room. They mess that was made, and the fact that Rauj's shirt was soaked where her head was. "Yeah... I'm...I'm fine..." She keeps backing up slowly. Her body Tenses up however when Eva speaks to her for the first time. She curls in and tenses. Eva actually scared her. Her eyes frantically looking around the floor. Panicking as what Eva was saying. The small talk. Something she isn't good at. She was actually talking to her while she was clinging to Rauj she just didn't realize. "Yeah...I didn't know it was going to do that..." She looks at Rauj's side when Eva points out that do one got hurt. That you're aware of. She replies mentally. She sighs as Eva continues. She begins to slightly shaker her head as she steps back and turns to Eva. Who judging by how she was speaking she was smiling, or at least on the inside. She looks up at Eva. Her eyes bloodshot from crying. "I've been killing people since I was nine. I may be small and young, but in no way am I a child. I don't need treats." She whispers. Just loud enough for only Eva to hear. Venom drips on her words. "If i want something I take it. Period." She rolls her eyes as she walks past Eva and out to the hall. When she gets in the hall she rests her forehead against the wall. She rubs her eyes attempting to soften then up from becoming tightened from stress. "I'm an idiot...I'm an idiot..." She keeps repeating this.

Ismay donned a worried face as Dethrial mentioned that she wanted nothing to do with him. What brought this on? Had she come across as cold? Regardless, her feelings were quite the contrary. She wanted to know everything about him; his homeland, his training, his purpose—it was something she was genuinely curious about. If anything, he seemed like one of the more straightforward people in this mess of a group. “I’m not sure what you mean…” She attempts to search his eyes for an answer she knows she won’t find. She was fairly close to him in proximity, but she didn't seem to be uncomfortable herself. “If we can talk about it when we’re not further violating the professor’s confidential materials, I’d like to clear up any misconceptions.” She emphasizes the part about not violating the professor’s office, making sure the group can hear her even with her back turned to them. Lemaire was a dead lead. Besides, Cliff's findings seemed more worth her time. “And don't worry about the door, it'd be better if we just left it as it is.” She smiles pleasantly to Dethrial, as she turns to move.
Eva attempts to cheer up the mystery girl, but it doesn't seem to be working. It was a noticeable change in Eva’s demeanor. She hadn’t quite expected her to have that sort of reaction to a crying child. “Everyone has a positive side.” She reaffirms herself. Perhaps the knight’s stubborn ideals would hold true yet again. Whatever's wrong with the small girl, it doesn't look like Ismay herself can help at all. “Let’s get outside, anywhere but here. If Winters is in trouble as you've said, then time can't be wasted.” She announces, already beginning to head back towards the exit. “Dethrial if I may, let's have that chat while we move. What gave you that impression?”

The thief glances at Rey as he immediately follows-through on what he had suggested, quickly going through Lemaire's belongings while the chance presented itself. He sucks his teeth and rolls his eyes at the demon-hunter as he accuses him of doing anything other than "... Getting tackled through a door by a rabbit girl, thanks for your concern. I just got here, and the last time we communicated in any way was before i fell into that deep sleep, maybe she's just glad to see me? I dunno?" Thankfully Eva was trying to soothe the rabbit clinging to him, because he more than felt he was failing miserably at it, his very core still struggling to not tear her off of him, his state of panic being confused for worry and sorrow by those around him, worked to his advantage though. He found himself even more concerned at Eva's initial reaction to the scene though, her subsequent soothing running discordant to her initial amusement, she seemed to be expecting an attack, not to see Selene sobbing while grasping onto her 'target' "... I was a bit concerned before but now i'm sure of it, that one might be a bit of trouble." He muses to himself as he turns his attention back to the bunny girl who seemed to be slowly collecting herself before 'the student' spoke to her. Eva's concern for the girl eased his worries a bit, but he wasn't sure if she was legitimately concerned or not by her tone.
Instead of concerning himself with it too much, he begins to turn in order to get a look around the room for himself, shifting the papers on the floor, near the bookcases, with his foot to get a clear look at the floor, as the doll, Cliff, continues. Rauj seeks markings on the floor indicative of a shifting bookcase while it speaks, its last few words specifically catching his ear as he turns back to face the doll. He notes it trying to hand something off to him discretely and pockets it without looking, though the paper in particular interests him, he'd have to check it out later. Before it begins to help Rey sift though the scattered notes, Rauj offhandedly mentions, "I cannot teach you to brawl. Just looking at you, i'll let you know now you aren't made of material strong enough to handle brawling; Brawling requires being able to take a hit. You, in particular, would want to avoid that kind of fighting style. Out-boxing would be more fitting for your body-type. Unfortunately, the style i use is the exact opposite of that, swarming, but, i can show you a thing or two at another time. He glances back at the floor one last time, before walking out the room himself, taking Ismay's advice on a hasty retreat for now, though her mention of not violating the office fell on deaf ears. He looks back at the lil' bunny girl, who seems to be muttering something to herself whilst still trying to collect herself, and walks over somewhat. "Selene? You good now? Its time to move." Before he continues after Ismay and the others, his side still throbbing with pain, though he's doing his best to hide it.

Dethrial took a moment to analyze what Ismay had said and his face turned a shade of red realizing he had made another social mistake. "Oh...damn it, I guess I can't read you at all. I was making a bad judge of character, forgive me." Dethrial then smooths his hair back with his right hand and takes a deep breath. "I'm still so new here I don't understand how to really talk to you people, or what social queues you use, or even how to complement someone with out coming across to...forward or awkward." He gives Ismay a smile and turn to the others.
Selene was just letting go of J and Rey was already looking through papers as he gave Dethrial his anwser. All Dethrial could do is frown as the anwser was still far from what he wanted. It was at this point Eva was trying to calm Selene down and Dethrial noticed a decrease of venom in the girls words. Hmm, that seems odd, maybe she has a soft spot of children? Somehow it must have hit a nerve as Selene stumbled over to Eva and whispered something softly to her Selene's whole body had tensed up like a spring and Dethrial could feel a sudden rush of blood-lust emitting from the young girl which then disappeared as quickly as it came as she walked towards out the door and places her forehead against a wall and was muttering something while rubbing her eyes. Dethrial's urge as both a father and a captain wanted him to go over and comfort Selene, to tell her that it's all going to be alright. But his lack of knowledge made him stiffen up and return his attention to the rest of the group albeit regretfully.
The golem named Cliff had moved very quickly over to J and even answered Dethrial's question about Macrame. The golem then did a curious thing he asked J if he could teach him how to "brawl" and promised to pledge his allegiance to J if he did and slipped something into J's pocket. As far as Dethrial knew brawling was a close range fighting style and J shot down Cliff's request saying he was made of the right stuff. Dethrial could agree with this as the golem seemed to be made of ceramics and gilded metal. The golem then decided to help Rey look through the papers and books and J joins as well but seems to be looking for something more than the others.
At this point Dethrial turns his back to the office and agrees with Ismay's idea to retreat with a nod and begins to move out towards the hall, as he passes by Selene he felt his heart break and he suddenly stops and places his hands on her shoulders with all the care of a parent and speaks softly "I don't know what haunts you and something tells me I may fully understand and I may seem like a damn fool...but if you need comfort or a someone to talk to I'm here." If given the chance he removes his hands slowly and continues walking.

After some brief rummaging through Lemaire's office the group decides to move on. Exploring the nooks and crannies turns out to be unfruitful as there aren't any signs of secret bookshelves, trapdoors, safes or anything of the sort. All of Lemaire's paperwork seems legitimate and mostly work-related. Based on the contents of the paper she seems like an incredibly busy woman with barely a minute of spare time.
The group heads out and makes their way down the stairs to find a good place to check out their finds and decide on their next move. It doesn't take them long before they find a relatively quiet, open place, with a table adjoined to two benches. There are a lot fewer students walking through this hall and no-body seems to be paying them much mind, if any at all.

Once they get to a spot that they deep worthy, Reymondo takes a seat on one of the benches. He kicks the floor lights, quite made that he was unable to find anything of use.
"Damn it. We are back to quare one. The only lead we have is to go to this tower were other Alvs are. But I don't know where that is."
He lets out a sigh as he this about what the next move should be. As he thinks, he sees Selene and couldn't help but feel a bit sad for her. He picks up Enkidu and hands him to her.
"Are you okay? I'm sure you aren't going to explain why you broke down like that. But just know that if you need to talk, I'm here and I won't say anything to anyone about what we talk about."
Rey then walks over to Hammer and bows in front of him.
"I owe you an apology. I jumped to a false conclusion when I saw Selene crying. I thought you had hit her, not on purpose but due to instincts. I am sorry. While we are on the subject, are you okay? We tried to wake you before we left but nothing was working. I am glad to see you walking about. Do you know why you and Jen feel into such a deep sleep?"

"We are not exactly back at the first square, master." Cliff gave himself a mental pat on the back for know what 'back to square one' means "Selene and I found some interesting items that might be clues."
He turned to Selene. Cliff had come to a rather uncomfortable realization. When he fled into a crowd of people, she fired into the crowd without any concern for others. Just a few moments ago, she had what appeared to be a full unprovoked mental breakdown. Armed and unstable, that was never a good combination. She might be even more dangerous than Eva. Aside from lying to guards to save her own skin, Eva never made much effort to hide her true nature.
"Selene, layout everything we found. That includes the gem. I'm going to repeat what I said earlier. Whether you can keep it is something we can decide after finding Mr. Winters. Until then, it is evidence." Cliff voice had a subtle stern pitch in it, making sure to speak loud enough for Reymondo to hear, but soft enough that he didn't attract the attention of student passing by.
"Master Reymondo, out of everything we found, I would recommend you examine the gem first since it is the most noteworthy item I could find. With your powers, perhaps you could tell if it has any magical properties."

Following the group to the somewhat secluded area, Eva plops down and lays on one of the benches in a less than elgant fashion. She then begins playing with her hair, obviously lost in thought to herself. "Well, what a cheerful little Kit..." Eva let's out an internal sigh. Selene''s reaction was a bit more hostile than Eva anticipated. "Something is definitely up with her...I mean, I'm not a child either and I LOVE treats!!! Well, whatever...not like it matters or anything. Just means more treats for me." A half hearted grin flashes across her face.
Whether she was willing to admit it to herself or not, Eva truly was irked by the cold shoulder Selene had given her. Under normal circumstances anyone who tried to speak to her in such a tone would be struggling to speak at all by this point...but this situation was a little different.
However, that's when Eva hears two key words that snap her back to reality. "Evidence" and more importantly "Gem". Both can be very valuable commodities to the right person, and coincidentally Eva just so happened to be in the market. "Speaking of treats..." Eva slowly rises from her resting postion, trying her best to seem disinterested. "Wonder why I'm not the least bit shocked you two were able to find these "clues"? Guess you weren't kidding earlier were you Selene?" Eva says with a slight tint of sarcasm. "Well come on then don't be shy, show the class what you sto- I mean "discovered". Eva then lets out a snicker. "Hopefully it'll be something worth all the trouble we've caused"
