 "Give service, Help the Innocent, Save the lives of friend and foe"
Ever since Griselda first injured her heel the last time she was in this class, her heel has been healing incredibly fast. The doctor's medicine has been helping her get the rest and recovery she needed. As of today, the only thing that troubles her about her heel is the soreness, but all she has to do is tread lightly. Yesterday she ate soup and bread with the princess, although just before that she wrote about her day in a diary. In that diary, she poured out her heart and she was happy that she finished writing before her roommate came back. It would've been awkward if Catherine asked about what Griselda was writing. Today she must go to advanced combat class since it is her only elective, which made her think about what other elective she can take. She ought to expand her horizons despite how passionate she is toward improving her fighting skills. By the time she had left the dorm, fully dressed and her hair tied up in a ponytail, thunderstorms and rain was upon the entire academy. Treading lightly meant that she will have to get soaked, but what choice did she have? Her walking at times looked like she was hobbling, so for some people, it can be something she will be ridiculed for. Finally, she made it to the classroom, drenched as she was. She entered the classroom and made her way to the seat closest to her. If there is one thing she needs to accomplish in today's class, it is to ask the professor about her sword and shield. Those two weapons mean a lot to her and Catherine had told her that she left the weapons in this classroom. There is no way Griselda can leave today without them.

  Maybe taking Gin out for drinks wasn't such a good idea, Ven reflected later, but he couldn't bring himself to regret it. He was of age and he really needed it after opening up about his frankly horrific ordeals every night, Ven hadn't expected Gin's reaction to alcohol, not at all. It was enlightening and amusing, hearing the younger boy practically spill his guts to him, but by the end of the night, Ven couldn't in good conscience let him go back to his dorm and dug up some spare bedding to use. The rest of the night went by without an incident and the next morning, Ven prepared a simple breakfast with lots of water for the both of them, mostly in silence but he wasn't averse to small talk. Once they were done, despite the extremely unappealing weather, Ven practically dragged Gin towards the academy; he still had class after all.
It didn't take long for them to reach the class, Advanced Combat with Gianna apparently, the weather keeping most people inside, but while Ven could smell two other people in the class, Gianna wasn't there yet, to his slight disappointment. "Good morning," he greeted Sokea and the red-headed girl with a nod, "Gin's here," he said rather unnecessarily, ushering his student into the class and followed him in, walking towards Sokea. The kid's worry was practically radiating off of him and Ven couldn't help the twinge of guilt he felt. He hadn't known about the plan he and Gin made until after Gin started talking and it was too late for him to return; the least that Ven could do was explain what happened. "I apologise Mr. Heikkinen. I took Gin out last night to drink after settling some matters and it was too late for him to return once we are done, that was why he was absent this morning. Don't blame him for it, I insisted," he said, patting his shoulder and looking apologetic. "If it helps, he did talk about you quite a bit," he couldn't help but add with a small smirk. And boy did he speak, but Ven wasn't going to go into more detailed than that, mindful of Gin's privacy. but it didn't mean that he couldn't tease Gin a little about it, or help him. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he had to blink and resisted the urge to sigh; Eli's habits were rubbing off on him again.

"Give service, Help the Innocent, Save the lives of friend and foe"
Being the first in the classroom is both good and awkward at the same time. For Griselda, it is more good than awkward because she has time to settle in without having to interact with anyone. It was at her seat that she took a couple deep breathes and massaged her left heel to help with her nerves and the soreness. At least she had a little bit of time to relax before someone else entered the room. This one is a student named Sokea, who Griselda has seen before. He was the one who fought Professor Falkov and lost. He wasn't suppose to be in this class, but the professor gave him special permission to be in here. Griselda ought to at least say good morning, especially since the boy is wondering if there was someone else in the room since he can't see. Just as she was going to say something, someone else entered the room. This one isn't a student. It is a professor named Ven Ackkerman. If Griselda recalls correctly, he is the teacher of the shifter's classroom. Why is he here? He shared a bit of news with Sokea about another student named Gin, but she doesn't quite understand the context of the situation aside from late night drinking. Not wanting to intrude, she remained silent and tapped her desk lightly as she waited for their actual professor to arrive.

╔═══════════════════
-Enter Ven and Gin to Advanced Combat Classroom-
Gin’s head was throbbing. With each beat of his heart, his temples seemed to pulse. His already acute hearing was ultra-sensitive, and his mouth felt like he had puffs of cotton stuck to his tongue. And his stomach….Oh his stomach was in an uproar. He didn’t know what Ven had given him at that Tavern, but it had loosened his tongue and addled his brain. Gin vaguely recalled recanting his relationship woes to the Shifter Professor but for the life of him he couldn’t recall exactly what he’d said.
He’d awoken on Ven’s floor, on a make-shift bed, to the sound of the Professor shuffling about. It had taken a lot to get him off that bed. As small and lumpy as it had been, he hadn’t wanted to leave it and for one good reason – he’d had a night of sleep, without the visions. While it seemed that Gin had found another way to rest and escape the visions, he wasn’t about to take up drinking – he hated feeling like this, even if it meant sleep.
After a mostly silent breakfast, of which Gin only ate a few mouthfuls of bread – his stomach wouldn’t tolerate anything else – and water, they’d left for the Academy. It was all a blur to him as they shuffled into the classroom. Plopping down in one of the seats, Gin leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands as he tried not to lose the contents of his stomach. But as Ven greeted Sokea, one of Gin’s ears twitched and angled towards the pair as Ven spoke.
‘Dammit…I’m such an a**.’ He thought, knowing full well that Sokea would be pissed at him for not returning to the room after class to talk, like he’d promised. He didn’t know what the hell to do. This was not his area of expertise and it never would be – he was single for a reason! But as Ven spoke and explained why he hadn’t returned to the room, he felt a small spark of hope. Ven was taking responsibility for his absence – it was true, the Professor had dragged him off. But they both knew that he should have left after one drink – but he hadn’t. Somehow, Gin had felt a connection to the Bear. If he had to describe it, he’d say it was a brotherly vibe, or maybe how he’d feel towards a father figure. And so, one drink had turned into several and soon, he’d been spilling his guts, mainly because he felt like Ven would listen and not judge him too harshly. While he suspected that Sokea wouldn’t judge him, things were still….delicate, with them and he didn’t want to mess things up.
Although Ven whispered the last bit, Gin’s ears twitched and his eyes widened as he realized what the Professor had said. He’d talked about Sokea last night. A LOT. Blushing deeply, he groaned. He couldn’t handle this right now. ‘Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT! What the hell is wrong with me!?’ Gin had half a mind to leave the class, damn the consequences, but as he looked up and thought about making a break for the door, Gia walked in.
While many wouldn’t notice the fake smile on her face, Gin knew her better than most. Something was wrong. As she walked past him, he watched her closely, his gaze narrowed. Surely she’d be excited to see Ven in her classroom? Nope. She acted as if he wasn’t even there. ‘What the hell?’ Despite his problems and despite how he felt, he knew he couldn’t let his favorite Professor just walk by.
But before he could get up and make his way over to the door to follow Gia, he heard Sokea’s voice. Laced with anger, irritation and hurt, he knew that his roommate was livid. Ears going flat against his head, he swallowed hard, shame filling him. Sokea was right. If he should have been talking to anyone, it should have been him. But there was no changing the past – all he could do was deal with the mess he’d made.
Arising from his seat, he made his way over to the door. He stopped for a moment to look at Ven. Patting him on the shoulder, he offered him a small nod of gratitude. “Thanks for listening to me last night…and for taking care of me.” He said before looking to Sokea. His roommate looked ready to slap him in the face – even if he was blind, Gin knew that one way or another, Sokea would land the blow if he really wanted to. Blushing deeply in embarrassment and shame, he sighed and frowned. There were things that needed to be said, but now was not the time, nor the place. “Sokea…I-I…” He began, only to find that he didn’t know what to say. So instead of saying anything at all, he leaned in and took Sokea into his arms. He held him like that for a long moment, just hugging him and breathing in the other's scent before reluctantly pulling away. Straightening up, he looked away, afraid that Sokea might be mad at him for hugging him like that. Sighing, yet again, he turned away.“I’m…gonna go check on Gia.”
Stepping away, his ears flat, his tail droopy, he knew he was wearing his emotions on his sleeve, but he didn’t care. Stepping out into the covered area of the practice yard, he walked over to Gia. Plopping down next to her, he leaned against her, his head on her shoulder. “What’s wrong, G?” He doubted she would tell him, but he knew that she would know that he was worried for her, given how he was acting.

"Give service, Help the Innocent, Save the lives of friend and foe"
There wasn't much Griselda can do in her current situation. From what she can gather, there appears to be a bit of drama between students Sokea and Gin, the latter who seems to be recovering from intoxication, sleeping in, or a horrible stomachache. She can't tell for sure, but she knows that he is not well. What she does know for sure is that she is starting to feel uncomfortable because more people are entering the classroom. Some relief came when the latest person to show up was Professor Falkov. Something about her attitude as she addressed Griselda didn't seem right. Two days ago, the professor seemed full of life and optimistic. Today she appeared tame in comparison. Its not quite sad, unless she is doing her best to deceive the classroom. Maybe she is having a bad day. Today's weather hasn't exactly been the best, so Griselda can understand. Gin made his way toward Gianna and began to have a private conversation with her. What is he talking about? Is he suspecting something about her like Griselda was? She can't tell, so she just remained doing what she had been doing since she first arrived: sitting quietly.

╔═══════════════════
Gianna Racquel Falkov was a fighter. She was a formidable woman, a terrific Professor and one of the best people Gin knew. To hear the quiver in her voice, to smell the salt of her tears…it as just wrong. Gia didn’t cry, at least she’d never done it before... No, Gia was a fighter – a bad a** who didn’t tolerate anything but your best. Gia wasn’t afraid of anything – everyone else feared her and respected her, because if you got on her bad side, you were in for it. It was why Gin liked her so damn much; Gia was strong. She was an example to be followed, someone to be obeyed and respected.
Gia was practically Gin’s mother at this point in his life. She looked out for him and she cared for him, in her own way and he loved her for it. So, if someone had driven her to tears, they were his problem now, not hers. So, when she turned away from him and covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a noise as she cried, he knew he couldn’t take it. ‘She’s not getting away that easily.’ Narrowing his gaze, he knew that he needed to clear the room. Gia didn’t want her students to see her like this and there was still class to attend to… ‘Screw the class…’ Gin didn’t care what the other students thought, the weather was crap and Gia wasn’t having it, so class was cancelled.
“Don’t even think about going anywhere, G. I’ll be right back.” Arising from his seated position, he headed back into the class. Looking over the students, he put on his signature scowl and spoke gruffly to them all. “Class has been cancelled. The weather’s awful and Gia isn’t feeling well.” Without another word, he walked back out and closed the sliding door behind him with a ’THWACK’ to tell them all, in a not so subtle way to ‘bugger off’ and leave him and Gia alone. He knew that some would be curious, and some would linger, Sokea specifically, but for the moment, his only concern was Gia. If anything, he trusted Ven to handle the students and any questions or concerns they might have.
Moving back toward Gia, Gin came around to kneel in front of her, so he could look up into her face as he spoke. He saw her tears and it pained him to know that such a strong, independent woman had been hurt so deeply. Protective of her, he felt the need to lash out at whoever had done this to her. Reaching up, he lightly brushed away Gia’s tears. Many years ago, he’d done the same for his sister, Erin. He was certainly out of practice, but he hoped he was doing this right.
“Gia…I don’t know who did this to you or why, but you just say the word and they’ll never bother you again.” While she might think he was joking, or kidding around to make her feel better, he was one hundred percent serious. Gia was family, and no one hurt his family and got away with it. “I mean it G, you’re the mother I should have had and I won’t see you hurt.” Gin, grumpy, awkward, anti-social Gin, the wolf that didn’t care what anyone thought, knew he was going against his reputation and what people thought of him, but he didn’t care. Gia was his friend and his family, and he didn’t want to see her cry ever again. He would do everything in his power to make sure that she was always smiling, even if it meant dragging Ven out here to ask her out on a date. He was that determined to make her smile again.

If Gia felt better messing up his hair and teasing him, then she was free to do it all day, every day – just as long as she kept smiling. As she embraced him, he wrapped his arms around her for a moment, surprised and touched by the gesture. He didn’t know what it was, but a lot of people were hugging him lately; Sokea, Ven, Gia…It wasnt a bad thing necessarily, but he was curious as to why everyone felt the need to embrace him lately. Gin held onto Gia for several moments until she pulled back from him.
Looking up at his teacher, he offered her a small smile. He knew that she was still hiding some things from him, but that was her right. He had his own secrets – secrets that she’d be very upset to learn about…Hopefully Ven kept them to himself for a while.
“I’ve got your back, Gia. Anything you need, let me know and I’ll take care of it.” He said as he stood to follow Gia back inside. He didn’t know what she saw when she opened the door to the classroom, but her tone suggested that it wasn’t anything good…Frowning a bit, he braced himself for the worst.
