[center] [b] [u] Acacia Malikov [/u] Grand Hall [/b] [/center] Had snapped from her daze of confronting her canine into subdued calmness. Her pale eyes fluttering as she glanced up to the sound of a feminine tone, the headmistress. She looked somewhat unsettling in Acacia's mind. The frail form tailed by the same girl who'd spoken to her and then left without much friendly converse. She was the kind that seemed ... how would you say, on edge and always alerted, never letting down guard nor showing much emotion. She was the kind of person Acacia avoided. A speech of sorts given lightly by the authoritative figure went at a seemingly unaltered pace, the few pauses expected from the sights though suddenly that all went down hill. She suddenly raised to her feet as the delicate woman collapsed, caught in time by the odd woman who seemed to know it could happen anytime, three people all suddenly flew themselves up the stairs, one foolishly jumping like a superhero to get to the scene, thankfully unharmed and offering his services, the others taking the stairs and provided more help. Acacia watched with wide eyes, standing just off from the others in the same daze. The boys had the elderly woman on her feet with an arm around either-ones neck, walking lightly and following behind the one known as Terra. [i] This can't be good [/i] a gentle voice echoed in her mind, they seemed in a rush to get out of the room and the doors closed heavily behind them. She tried to shake off the feeling of uncertainty [i] it'll all be okay, yup, perfectly fine [/i] she smiled and turned to Koshmarik. --- [center] [b] [u] Koshmarik [/u] [/b] [/center] Stood tall facing the main entrance of the hall. Pointed ears straight forward and stump tail raised, his amber eyes settled on a figure who hadn't been there before. Velvet panels racing on either side of his nasal passages the dark chocolate canine lowered his head in a defensive manner. Suddenly an ear piercing scream, shattering glasses/vases could be heard and his ears went straight back. Almost dropping to the ground with a painful yelp from the noise he shook his head over and over, eyes staring at the ground ahead. He heard a thud behind him and the breath of his mistress change, she was in just as much pain as he was. He regained a fair amount of his own subconscious and raised his head enough to look at the man again, he drew back a lip baring his mouth of weaponry and emitted a low growl. His leash no longer held by the girl on the ground as he headed at a slow pace towards the stranger. His senses going wild that something was wrong, the students in the hall eventually screaming and scrambling about, something came flying from the balcony above and had landed among them causing panic. Loosing sight of the man he snapped at the air and barked at those now surrounding him in a frenzy of fear. He kept them at bay from getting close and refocused back to his human. Acacia. Eyes locked on her she was still tightly clung to the ground, hands holding her head town as she rocked in a kneeling position. People going around her he merely stood mere meters away watching. Would she focus on him again. --- [center] [b] [u] Acacia Malikov [/u] [/b] [/center] She'd hardly budged after hitting the ground around the same time as the canine. Her fingers latching around the back of her head as she curled up tight, teeth clenching as she rocked almost hysterically. The noise pierced her like it was the end of the world seemingly, her reaction different to most, she didn't go into a panic when the harpy was sent flying into the room. Ice eyes staring widely at the ground below her. Her mind was lost for a moment, scrambling about in it's own fiesta of thought. Koshmarik wasn't near, she could feel it. He was watching, but, she couldn't reach for him if she wanted. She suddenly froze where she was and snapped her head up "Koshmarik , idi syuda. Eto nepravil'no, ochen' nepravil'no , chto-to ne tak , pochemu, pochemu eti lyudi zdes' ." She spoke to herself, Koshmarik paced fast to her reach, no longer baring teeth or threatening those around him. She arose to her feet, looking dead at the man standing plainly near the door, he wasn't someone she'd somewhat thought was meant to be here and without grabbing the leash of the canine she began striding towards him. The dark blood red and black gown flowed around her legs as she moved. The canine close by as he remained one step behind. She didn't know what she was going to say or do, but, she'd stop in her tracks a short distance off along the wall, if anyone else beat her to him for any purpose she'd slink away like she had no plans.
