"Lis-" Isaac started to call after her, but he cut himself off. He was going to offer to heal her, but it seemed she needed some space to breathe. With a sigh, Isaac settled himself back down, allowing her to go. It would not do to push right now, when tensions were already so high. He pushed...

Matt stood with her, and Jackie followed suit to show them out. "Good luck, you two," she said, half warning, half encouragement. "I hope it goes well. Really." "Thank you again," Matt smiled, resting a hand briefly on the woman's arm before backing out the door. As it shut behind them, he...

Matt gave Olivia a sideways glance, but he didn't say anything to contradict her. He didn't like to lie to people, and telling this woman they weren't planning on a fight, that felt too much like lying for his comfort. Still, he knew it was a necessary... bending of the truth. They would have to...

"I didn't even know monsters planned stuff out like this," Nico muttered, taking the steak knife Leon offered him. "I mean, this was- this is an attack. They planned this. Who know how long they've been watching us, waiting for the right moment to strike?" He watched as Eliza and Klaus painted...

"What do you people even want with me?" the woman asked on a tired sigh as she led them into the kitchen. The whole apartment looked as run down as it had from the outside, the kitchen dingy and dimly lit. Still, the woman dug through her cupboards to produce three glasses for water. "I don't...

Matt gave Olivia a look. This wasn't his idea, he wasn't even entirely on board with it- she needed to get it together and pull her nerves under control. His career and schooling had taught him how to talk to people, sure, but he had skipped out of 'Inciting Rebellion 101.' He couldn't do this...

Nico slowly stood up, staring wide-eyed at Klaus and Gloria. "Y-you killed it," he said, amazed. "I didn't know you even could kill those things with a blade." His bunkmate looked sad, which Nico chalked up to a reaction over David. Klaus had been right there to see it happen. Nico felt a...

"I'm a Sec in politics. You get used to it," Matt chuckled. But despite the joke, he couldn't dispel the dark air that hung over their duty. After what they had seen last night, Matt understood where Olivia and Dominic were coming from, but he still worried they didn't know what they were...

Matt nodded to Quinn, but before he could even say 'you, too,' she was off- likely to hide the shame of wearing anything less than a full pantsuit out in public. He shook his head bemusedly, heading over the woman to help her up and check out her broken nose. "Hey, there, I'm Matt," he...

While Isaac still had to fight off hot anger every time he thought of Illian, he was glad for the other young man's sake that Stavros seemed to be understanding. He would not have truly wanted to see someone else estranged from those they cared about due to magic they could not control. But the...

Dominic wanted to shake Olivia off, but as Quinn and Matt came rushing out of the building, he very reluctantly took a step back. Quinn had already more than proved that this was her domain. While Dominic's aggression might hurt more than help, she was a professional. And as long as something...

Nico couldn't look away as David was... oh, God, as David was eaten by the thing. The older boy had been, well, not his friend, really, there hadn't been time for that, but they might have been friends. In another world, one where summer camp hadn't become a monster death trap. He wanted to...

Isaac couldn't argue with Elise's logic, so he nodded in agreement with her plan. He was glad someone seemed to have an idea of what they were doing, because that sure as stars wasn't him. All he knew was that he needed to try and keep the little group all in one piece, and that alone was...

Kavya relaxed some, lowering her weapon though not fully putting it away. She studied the woman for a moment, taking in her strange, exotic features before bowing slightly in return. "I see not the harm," she answered. "What is your name, friend? And where do you travel? You cannot be from this...

Nico didn't scream. Maybe he should have, but he didn't think to. He stared, transfixed, at the huge goop creature that emerged from the trees at the edge of the camp as it lumbered towards them. And then the noise. It was awful, deafening, and Nico clapped his hands over his ears on instinct...

Kavya listened to Kian's story with a heavy heart. Though the boy did not seem troubled, it always hurt her heart to hear the stories of those who had grown on the streets. She nodded her understanding at the comment about greed as opposed to the necessity of survival. That, as far as she was...

After hours of riding, Isaac could have cried in relief as the group finally reached their stopping point for the night. He was still upright on his horse, but only just, and his muscles were as fatigued as his magic. Vidar's poultice had given him enough strength that he no longer hovered on...

"I mean he didn't come back, do I look like I'm joking?" Nico snapped, a bit harsher than necessary. "And if those things did that to the dog..." he looked over to where Klaus was dragging Sunshine's body off, and didn't finish his sentence. He saw Claire taking a headcount and fell back to...

Dominic hadn't been facing the window, so he hadn't watched the whole scene unfold. But he heard the crying, the muffled shouts, and then the sickening crack of metal hitting bone. He jumped up along with Olivia, her urgency fueling his own as they rushed out into the hall and tore down the...

"No, Hroth was with David and Anthony, I'm with Klaus and Leon," Nico answered, shaking his head. "You guys... I don't think he ever came back." Was it even possible to survive a night out in the woods with monsters? Nico wasn't optimistic about it. Although then again, it didn't look like camp...
