⠀ ah. well, these are most common. I'm sure there are others in Arrylax' possession... ( he returns it to his pouch. pausing, and pulling a pearl- like object out. offering it to Caleb. )

⠀ the dragon that rules the dragon empire. ( he offered it again ) this is a pearl for mornings .ᐣ it dissolves in water to help you feel better. even if you have many it's my thanks. ⠀

⠀ ( he nods ) it's useful. we typically give them to someone going on a journey. ⠀

⠀ I can be nice when said person isn't trying to fuck or fight me in the first hour of meeting me. ⠀

⠀ I know. I was just telling you. ⠀

⠀ yes. now do you see I meant no harm .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ good. if I did mean you harm you and I wouldn't have been introduced... ⠀

⠀ no I doubt I would have. ( a soft nod, agreeing. ) ⠀

⠀ ( he nodded. ) I can agree to that. ⠀

⠀ I am not so easy to take down. like I said I serve a dragon. ( a subtle smirk, but he nods, slowly. ) ⠀

⠀ ah. Arrylax us many things. it's an honour to serve him. ⠀

⠀ ( head tilts a little. noticing it. his shoulders straighten a little. ) you're not a fan .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ( he blinks, nodding a little. ) Arrylax isn't my mentor. we serve him. he's our father and our master and we do it willingly ... ⠀

⠀ I'm not understanding. ⠀

⠀ none of the people I deal with are innocent. you're misplacing your recognition... ⠀

⠀ if i don't i die. but I've never questioned it. those are my family. we are all psychically linked. soul bonded. it's not taken lightly. ⠀

⠀ ... ( he inhaled, nodding slowly. ) might be best I head out. I will be in contact if... well. I will be. thank you again. ⠀

⠀ ( he stands awkwardly, then nods a little. stepping out to leave the school. ) ⠀

⠀ hand wiping bloodied lips, limping in with a hand on their nose. ⠀
