Layne Marie // M // 17 // Star Lead // Respawn/Winged // M: Askel

Layne glanced toward Askel for a moment or two, his sapphire eyes scanning his faint silhouette before following his gesture to the main building. It would go through the hallway but... that was what made sense at the very least. A shiver ran down his spine once again, his feathered wings fluffing up out of habit. "I don't know if it'll do any good," he finally said, breathless and barely over a whisper. "Whatever was... is out there probably won't be affected by anything we try and do."

Layne rubbed his face for a moment. "It's... we're just going to have to run," he finally murmured under his breath. But, out of the corner of his eye, in the window, as the darkness slowly began to shift in the distant forests... he spotted a figure walking along the outside of the buildings.

Their white hair all but glowed in the darkness and reflection of the moonlight.

"Silver--" Layne whispered quietly, a sharp bolt of panic in his chest. "Askel, we gotta get out there. Silver's all alone. Or I have to, something!"

Fabian Zeller // M // 26 // VP // Unicorn // M: Skylar, Alex, Lyka, Pierce

"I would rather you stay here and stay inside," Fabian stated, addressing Alex and Lyka as they attempted to leave the other two alone. The unicorn seemed tired and didn't move from his spot near a window. "It isn't safe to split up. The more we stick together, the better we can defend ourselves," he said shortly.

One hand drifted up to his side, pressing against it for a moment or two.

The man suppressed another shiver and instead turned to the two students. "If you must go somewhere, the third door down the hallway should be a supply closet. If there are blankets, we need them. How about you grab those?"

Fabian's eyes slid closed, leaning against the windowsill for a minute or so while he took in steadying breaths. "I understand," he finally said softly, taking in another deep breath. "This is a time of turmoil and such," he confirmed with a slow nod.

Finally, his eyes slid open as he glanced toward Lyka fully. "They will likely come here to the main building as soon as they can," he finally said. "And if not, you won't go risking your lives for them. We can all go as a group once we have a more secure place of refuge."

His chest lifted, catching slightly before lowering in a shaking breath.

Layne Marie // 17 // M // Star Lead // Respawn/Winged // M: Askel, Silver(ind.)

It was always this point in time in which Layne's lack of self-preservation really shown through like a lighthouse in the fog of the sea. He had already met Askel at the door, his sapphire eyes flickered with determination.

Did he have a plan? Yes. Was it a great plan? That... could be questioned but he had a plan.

"Be my look out," Layne directed, slipping along the hallway. "It's not going to be safe to go running out there. But, I don't have to run," he spread golden feathered wings--dropping some white and black feathers as well. "If it comes to it, you get Silver out of there. Y'all can die," Layne leapt to the doorway and pried the metal door open as quietly as one really could. He glanced back to Askel. "I can't."

Soft wing beats echoed in the still air. It wasn't quite loud enough to drown out the rising sound of creatures, bugs and other sounds that filled the woods now. They no longer seemed that calm, that safe, or that enticing. The young man shook his head, shaking the thoughts from his head as his sapphire eyes scanned the land below, spotting the figure of Silver... and Askel.

Well, at least he was there. Back up was a good idea, he'd had to mention that to Askel later.

Layne dipped downward, slipping through the air and stretched his hands out to reach for Silver, intending to lift her off the ground and into the air.

"I'm fine," Fabian waved his hand, attempting to soothe the young student. Though he knew full well that she wasn't convinced at all, the man finally sighed. "I am a bit tired from healing. I don't often heal... as of late. I usually just shift," he explained gently.

Fabian glanced down the hallway again, then to the windows.

"I think it's best if we stay here."
