And then someone dragged his sorry butt back to school. [Action post.]

[jonny_talbain]

[Despite saying he was going to be gone for a day, he was actually gone for two nights and almost three days. He walked back into school almost as if nothing had happened. Battered brown leather jacket done up despite the days lingering warmth, scuffed gym bag over his shoulder and a five oclock shadow that looked more like seven fifteen. He looked

Afternoon, Cammy.

[Ahh. She looked as though she'd been there a while. He scratched at his chin and regarded her with his usual glare.]

How do?

[misscammywhite]

[A small smile spread across her face as she shrugged.]

Shouldn't I be the one asking that?

[jonny_talbain]

[He shrugged back, dropping his bag to the ground and sticking his hands in his coat pockets.]

It was the same as ever it is... I just had to find somewhere new to hole up so as to avoid... you know. Unfamiliar territory so it was a little trickier this time around.

[Well hey, guess who is also sneaking back to the dorms!

Sheik is totally trying to look as inconspicuous and not-up-to-something-at-all as possible, giving Jon a small nod.]

[jonny_talbain]

[Oh. Hello, what's all this then? He'd know that Ninja anywhere. However, that Ninja seems to be trying to be quiet and unnoticed despite his greeting.

He raised a hand in a small wave of 'Hello'.]

[rulebywisdom]

[WELL, she's been spotted, so obviously it's time to plan nonchalant.]

Jon, correct? I believe we've met before.

[jonny_talbain]

Correct. Sheik, wasn't it?

[Riwane had been listening to music, sitting on the railing of the second floor of the dorms. One of the times she was eying the scenery, she came upon the familiar figure and couldn't help but smile... until she noticed he looked a bit roughed up.

She didn't take the time to run down, instead, jumping off the second floor and tumbling into a roll and run over to Jon, a worried look on her face. Once she was there however, she settled down and tried to look as calm as a tree.]

Hey Jon, [She wanted to say more, but she figured it'd be sorta dumb... 'Are you alright?' ... 'Haven't seen you in a few days' ...]

[jonny_talbain]

[Oh. Hello there, you sure popped up out of nowhere, didn't you?]

Riwane. How goes?

[He couldn't deny that his newest aquaintance had come to mind once or twice over his trip out, in his saner moments. And despite his weariness and wishes to get some food and fall into a deep sleep, he didn't particularly mind sparing a little time to say Hello.]

[will_ablaze]

[She has a tendency to do that! And right now, she definitely smiled, albeit her eyes studied him up and down, seeing if he needed any help.]

It's goin', was just ovah yonder listenin' to sum music before I spotted ya. Ya'lright?

[Getting closer, she motioned to the bag he was carrying.]

I can take that for ya if ya don't be mindin' none.

[jonny_talbain]

Hmph. The day I let a lass carry my bag for me, I'd better be dead or have at least lost the use of my arms. And teeth.

[He stuck his hands in his pockets.]

And in answer to your question, yes. I'm fine. Just... been out in the mountains for a few days. They are... rugged.

[It doesn't help when you've lost your sensibilities and are hurtling around them in search of things to chew on.]

[rock_tankarms]

[jonny_talbain]

[Oh, look at that. He had quite the little 'welcome home' party waiting for him here between all these people, didn't he? How... unnerving.

However, Rock was a good kid. He raised a hand and gave the super fighting robot, Mega Man, a wave.]

Rock. Keeping out of trouble, then?

[rock_tankarms]

[jonny_talbain]

It went as well as ever it does. I did my best to exhaust myself and made sure to be as far away from here or anywhere else as possible.... the usual.

[....he'd probably never get used to robots. All these flashing lights and metal clangs.]

Mission accomplished, anyway. Less worse for wear than I might have been, so... there's something to be said for that.

[ofasandgoddess]

[Nabooru had been taking Tapasvi out for his nightly stroll, mostly because she'd figured no one would see him. But then she saw Jon, the Jon who'd said he was leaving for a few days. She'd told him to be careful - he didn't look like he had been - and he had no idea what she was talking about.

... Or so he claimed.

So while Tapasvi was rooting around the grass and happily blowing streams of fire to amuse himself, she squinted at Jon.]

Look who's back.

[jonny_talbain]

[....oh goodness. There was one of those things. And it seemed to be accompanying that woman. Hopefully it wasn't some relative of the one he and Riwane had hunted, because that would probably violate some kind of touchy feely school rule.

And being as he didn't want anyone to know that it was his handiwork to provide the school with a giant reptile to nosh on... he'd simply not ask her more than...]

...what is that thing, exactly?

[ofasandgoddess]

[The Gerudo blinked and she looked down to Tapasvi, who seemed perfectly happy winding himself slowly around Nabooru's feet. When he was addressed, however, no matter how indirect it may have been, he looked over to Jon.]

This is a dodongo. He's a...

[She stopped to think about it for a few moments.]

Uh. I think here people would think of them like dinosaurs. Dodongos are reptiles, I think. They blow fire--

[Tapasvi interrupted by proudly demonstrating a graceful small stream.]

--as you can see.

[jonny_talbain]

[Hmm. The one he faced the other day with Riwane hadn't. Perhaps they just hadn't given it a chance.]

I see. It's an interesting beast... I've never seen the like before coming here.

[A pause and finally he stopped looking at the spaec dargon Hyrulean reptile and turned his attention to her.]

Nabooru, wasn't it?
