πICπ Norman stopped his laughter at the mention of food and he quickly scurried up on top of Kai's head, little squirrel paws clutching some of it, nose twitching slightly as he processed that a bit more. "Dinner? Yes! I love food," he said excitedly, and...poof, he was back to his human form...still atop his brother's head, which made them both fall down.
"Sorry Kai," Norman whispered as he stood up, looking down at his mostly human body and grinning excitedly. He bounded over to Nikolas. "Race ya," he said before bolting off and Nikolas followed at a much slower pace.
Ty stayed to help Kai up, scoffing slightly. "Figures, he's genuine at the mention of food," he scoffed playfully as he helped Kai up.

Holliday nodded to the doctor and then turned to watch Xanthe still in his hissy fit. He didn't really move to stop the boy. Didn't say anything. Didn't really want to, it was entertaining. He chuckled and turned to the other boys to see if they were enjoying it as much as he was, only to see them running off toward the mess hall together. He forgot about Xanthe completely in that moment, to be honest. "Hey, wait up!" He said and ran after them, assuming if the nymph or the demon were hungry they would follow.

Shafer's teariness ebbed back into his previous ecstatic state as he listened to the woman. A dreamy smile painted across his features gradually, canines dragging over his lower lip as he nodded when appropriate. Even when it wasn't. He was pretty much just nodding mindlessly the whole time, eyes locked onto the demon. Speaking of eyes, his irises were doing even stranger things now. When he was completely calm, they could pass as human. Slight excitement, the edges would start to ripple and spread out at random angles, making it look a bit like his eyes were exploding. But when he was in a state of such complete amazement and awe like he was now, the dark colour took over every bit of white and eventually, his eyes were just two black voids. "Yeah... He's mine," Shafer repeated, sounding completely unaffected by her lecture before he took off after the other boys. Just out of impulse. He saw others running, his reaction was to run, too.

πICπ Norman glanced back over. "It's a race! You gotta be fast, there's no waiting in a race!" He called back over at Holiday before taking off again, however Nikolas had stopped to walk over to Xanthe, figuring...they were both sort of different, maybe he could help show him around.
He looked down at the shiny person. "Hello," he greeted awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Ty and Kai had also started to the mess hall, but at a much slower pace, talking back and forth as they walked.

Holliday laughed and took off as fast as he could.. which wasn't anything considerably fast. Just.. your average everyday run of the mill mortal sprint. Holliday really was average in every sense of the word. Not necessarily a bad thing, not really a great thing. Holliday just was.

Xanthe watched helplessly from his position, curled up on the ground, as Holliday and the others began walking away. His feeble attempts to stop them- "Stop, don't leave me, help,"- did nothing, as he was too shaken up to speak their language and his own words blended with his sobbing. Demons didn't cry, of course, because they didn't have tears like some other creatures (imagine the horror of water coming from your eyes!) but they did do something similar, in which the glowing of their eyes simply flickered. At least the nymph followed them, probably thirsty for blood after failing to eat Xanthe. He looked up, his eyes flickering pitifully as one of the other boys spoke to him. "I can't sp- speak your language ri- right now," He stuttered, even his voices subdued and quieter.

πICπ Norman however, had the speed of a squirrel, who were extremely fast sprinters believe or not, so really it wasn't long until he reached the mess hall and skidded to a halt, grinning widely. "Ha, I win," he said smugly, and glanced back to wait for the others...who took way too long, and he wasn't even really waiting for all those other people...he was just waiting for his brothers so they could all eat together.

Jingle Bell was trying to compose herself again at the onslaught of completely humorous events that had been playing out in front of her. She could hear every bit of it and she couldn't get enough of it. When Foster came around, she managed to choke back the laugher and listen quietly as she scolded the young boys. Her ears perked at the mention of grub though, and she sprinted from the edge of the forest to gallop behind the boys on her way to the food dish she knew waited for her. Sure, in her prime, Jingle Bell could hunt wild birds and even rabbits on a good day, but she was getting old, and she just didn't think it was worth it anymore, since food was served on a silver platter for her in mess hall. She brushed it off by saying she liked the company of others in her old age. Anything to keep from admitting that she was probably coming to the end of her time.

πICπ Nikolas looked at him for a few seconds before he just nodded, figuring if anything else, he would stay with this one until he felt better since clearly, he didn't seem to be doing all that great after the nymph attack. "Do you mind if I stay with you for now?" Nikolas asked in his hoarse, somehow just...off voice, looking over at him, figuring Xanthe could at least nod or shake his head in answer.

Shafer bounced past the finish line, Xanthe all but gone from his mind even if that was definitely temporary. He was too preoccupied with this mess hall. Whatever that was. And also... The guy in front of him had ears. Like of course, a lot of things had ears, but this guy. His were. Fluffy. And sure, the last time he acted on his impulses, it ended in him traumatizing his latest obsession, but if he were good at controlling his impulses, he probably wouldn't be here in the first place. So the next five seconds found him lurching forward and smoothing his hand over one of the fluffy protrusions. "How curious."

Jingle Bell was just bounding in the direction of food when she heard two boys still behind. She wondered why they weren't going off with the others, and she didn't like the idea of leaving them unattended. These orphans were rowdy and seemed to cause havoc wherever they went. She slowed and came to a halt beside the boys. Waving her tail in greeting, and tilting her head to the side in question. She touched her tail to the ankle of the talk dark and brooding young man, sending images of mess hall and food.

πICπ Norman let out a screech of displeasure as suddenly, there was the nymph, and suddenly...the poor demon's situation was not so funny anymore. "Don't touch me," he ordered, turning to glare at the nymph, just glad he hadn't poofed back into a fluffy squirrel yet, but this was genuine annoyance...so in a way, it did count, however the young, and often bitter teenager, was not one who enjoyed getting touched, and he was especially sensitive of his ears and tail...and hair, basically any of him that was fluffy, he was defensive over.

{{ -- I feel that on a personal level, venus. I have several drawings for my dragon RP done, and I should get to making the main plot, but I just don't have it in me right now lol. Because getting a plot means making a layout and trying to get characters and people to join, and just.. the creative juices have all but drained }}

Xanthe didn't respond, just looked down and started rubbing his eyes. He was so worked up that the grass beneath him had completely died at an even faster rate than normal. After a minute he looked back up at the boy, who looked fairly normal, if not a bit... ominous. "Water nymphs..." He said in their language. "They hurt us." Then he looked, slightly startled, at the mangy cat that had just appeared. "Is that the... magic cat?"

Shafer watched with those unfathomable eyes of his, hand still hanging in the air uselessly as he tilted his head and tried to make out those human words. Such a gross language but it really was quite an inconvenience not being able to understand them. "... Yes, you are also mine." Shafer decided easily, voice unstable and brightly independent from the rest of him as ever.

πICπ Nikolas nodded slightly. "I have not met a water nymph before...but I would stay away from it," he agreed before his gaze fell to the cat, thinking about the images for a minute before shaking his head at Jingle Bell. "Not yet, I will go with him, maybe once the nymph is done," he explained before he looked back over at Xanthe. "Yes, this is the cat," he agreed and knelt down to scratch her head.

πICπ Norman looked a little unsure for a minute, looking at Shafer warily before he knew he had to put his walls back up and glared at him instead...and then poof, he was a fluffy squirrel in little clothes on the floor. He huffed and stood up on his two hind legs, folding his arms. "Ah d-" we cut that off here because what followed was a slew of curse words which really wouldn't be appropriate to write out. Why were his brothers taking so long? Why was the nymph bothering him? He just wanted food...

Jingle Bell stiffened as a fingers brushed across the thinning fur at her crest. She appreciated that this creature could understand her, but wasn't sure she appreciated being pet like some sort of house puppet. She ate from a silver dish out of choice she'll have you know!! Her paw reached up slowly and pushed the boys hand away. Not, aggressively, just pointedly. She nodded as he spoke to her, and sat beside both of the orphans, turning her attention to the ruffled fur on her belly and grooming contently.

Xanthe watched the cat warily, then pulled the sleeve of his robe from its cuff and pulled it over his hand. Carefully, he reached out and touched the cat's back. His touch was still warm through cloth, but not too hot and definitely not enough to burn.

Shafer gaped openly, eyebrows raised and mouth moving uselessly before he took a step back from the very angry creature. It was a squirrel, but it wasn't really a squirrel, so once again. He had no idea how to react. So he didn't. Took another step back, to the side, and then away from whatever just happened. He felt one of the bindings on his arm come loose and immediately claimed the closest seat so he could focus on reattaching that stuff.

πICπ "You do not like to be pet?" Nikolas guessed and nodded along slightly, pulling on the grass slightly. "Neither does Norman, he says it is undermining...but you animals are very cute, it's hard not to pet you," he explained, feeling better being around that cat, and so far the demon wasn't exactly all that bad either.

πICπ Bright side...he was being left alone. So, Norman gave an indignant huff before he started to one of the tables, climbing up it until he was seated on one of the seats, same table as the nymph, but he was ignoring that guy as he willed himself back into his human form...it wasn't happening anytime soon. He let out a small sigh before going back to the table leg and climbing further up until he was at the table. His brothers were taking too long, he needed food, and so he scurried over to a plate and stayed next to it as he tried to decide what to eat. He could fit in more when he was a human...which was preferred, but now he supposed he would just settle for whatever his little squirrel stomach could manage.

Shafer jolted in surprise when that squirrel appeared on the table, brow knit together as he shifted over a couple inches. He was still very much determined to get his bindings back together but it was sort of difficult considering he only had two hands. He was going to have to use his teeth but he didn't really want to do that in front of other beings. Very undignified and the princess obviously cared a lot about that. So he settled for quietly struggling with his own creation, foot tapping sharply against the floor in frustration as he couldn't get the band quite tight enough.
