The girl was currently sitting in her wheelchair besides Phoenix's desk, sleeping. A blanket covered her figure, keeping her warm as her new father moved about the room. Eilis whined sleepily before relaxing, continuing to sleep.

Every once and a while, Phoenix glanced back to her as he began sorting through mid-year reports. It sometimes felt overwhelming being a Dragon Riding instructor, especially when paid to work with a bunch of hormonal teenagers who think it's entertaining to attempt to get each other killed. He was looking at one file, in particular, one of his Great Nephews, who for the most part was doing excellent in the class except for some odd points. It was strange, today he nearly crashed into the dorms. He decided to contact the office to see if they could bring Ren to his office.

Won Hyunseon

Ren got the message in his dorm when he had been planning to leave to deliver some designs. He thought it would be quick, so he told Kit that he was leaving a bit earlier than expected.

Kit

"I'll come," he said, stretched out across a couch, playing a video game, the stylus dangling from his mouth.

The girl stirred awake, yawning heavily before giving a smile at Phoenix, moving to wheel herself to his side, not dislodging the blanket wrapped around her. "Phoenix? What are you doing?" She asked, trying to peer at the papers he was sorting through.

He ruffled his fingers through his hair and exhaled. "Work, unfortunately," he told Eilis. "When you grow up, don't become a teacher. It comes with a lot of paperwork." He turned towards her and smiled. "Sleep well?"

Won Hyunseon

"Well I'm leaving now so..." he announced, opening the door.

Kit

He sighed, flipping the console shut, and slipping the stick back into the hole before bounding after Ren. "What're you doing anyway?"

She giggled at his statement before nodding. "Very good." Eilis wheeled backward slightly, turning her chair to head towards the door and back to near Phoenix, pacing out of boredom. "How much longer are you gonna be here, Phoenix?" Eilis asked, voice reaching an almost-whine pitch.

Posted on 01:23, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

"Ah... just until I talk to a student of mine. Then we should go home after that. Do you want me to buy you some food before we go home?" He turned back to the files, deciding to look through the rest as he waited for Ren.

Won Hyunseon

"Have to talk to Phoenix about something concerning Dragon Riding," he explained, entering the hall and closing the door behind him. "Then I'm doing some errands after that."

Kit

"Oh. I like Phoenix," he said, "he seems nice," he mused as his fingers tapped against his legs. He was practically bouncing as he moved and his eyes were darting around the place, unable to settle.

She sighed before nodding. "Yes please!" Ellis wheeled back over to Phoenix, leaning her head against his arm before straightening. "Food, Phoenix?"

"Actually, I should make you some Chinese. Would you like that instead? By the way, there's some cookies in my backpack in case you're hungry."

Won Hyunseon

"Yeah, I guess," he said. He was indifferent towards Phoenix, honestly not knowing him well enough to have an established opinion about him. He exited the dorms and began heading in the way of the Dragon Riding office.

Kit

He was following Ren with ease, in fact he looked like he could start running to the office and knocked with a whistle when they did arrive there.

Posted on 02:25, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Hearing the knock, her head snapped to the door before she immediately wheeled herself over to the main desk, getting the package of cookies as Phoenix had said, beginning to nibble on the food as she watched the door with an intense gaze.

Won Hyunseon

"Have you ever considered track, Kit?" he asked, rolling his eyes at Kit. "You'd be great at it with all the spontaneous sprinting you do."

Posted on 03:21, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Phoenix stood, walking around his desk to go open the door. "Hello Ren... and Kit. Both of you came. Fantastic," he said sarcastically, opening the door wide enough for both of them to enter.

Kit

"I wasn't running?" He asked as the door swung open and he grinned over at Phoenix, "of course! You could have brought him here to kick him out of the class, can't let him face it alone!" He bounded in, his eyes falling onto Eilis and his head slowly tilted his head. "Is this a student of yours?" He asked Phoenix before looking over at the girl, "should you be on dragons?"

She shook her head, wheeling over to move to Phoenix's side. "He adopted me." She smiled shyly at the two boys there, before extending a hand towards the two. "I'm Eilis." She looked up at Phoenix, eyes searching his for permission to move away to move around to the desk.

me, myself, and I

Won Hyunseon

"Looked like it," Ren sighed rolling his eyes. Phoenix looked visibly annoyed at Kit's loud entrance but didn't say anything, just cautiously watched Kit interact with Eilis. Ren raised an eyebrow, a little surprised as he had never heard about this but decided it was better not to question it. He studied her, looking indifferent but not enough to look angry or scary per se. "Hey... Eilis. I'm Ren. This idiot next to me is..." he glanced at Kit, not wanting to say his "name" though he doubted Kit would enjoy being called "Yejun" by two people. "...*Kit*," he said.

Posted on 05:34, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

He smiled watching the three of them, before remembering there was a reason as to why they were here in the first place. "Ren, I need to speak to you about your Dragon Riding report. There's been some odd stuff happening. Like how you nearly crashed into the dorms today?"

Kit

He paused, though he was still bouncing in his spot, looking over to Ren, with a furrowed brow. "What do you mean you nearly crashed into the dorms?" He asked, "you didn't tell me that!"

Posted on 05:54, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

She giggled softly, before moving back to remain close to Phoenix's side. "I watched the whole thing... It was pretty entertaining." Eilis murmured, voice naturally quiet.

me, myself, and I

Won Hyunseon

"Yeah. Well, that happened," he said uncomfortably. "I... I apologize if I damaged anything, I just wasn't um, feeling completely functional today."

Posted on 06:36, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Phoenix laughed a little, uncertain what to say. "Well then, I won't count today, but if you aren't feeling well say so before you go get yourself killed."

Kit

He stared at Ren. "Not," he said slowly, "functional. Not functional. You could have died," he snarled, anger passing over him. Kit wasn't usually an angry person but the thought of Ren being hurt...changed him. "You knew you weren't okay and you got on a dragon? You could have gotten hurt and you apologise for building damage?"

The girl watched the back-and-forth with wide eyes, remembering of her old treatment at the hands of her fighting aunt and uncle, beginning to panic, trying to wheel back, but only making her chair roll-over backwards, knocking the girl out of the chair and pinned under the heavy metal and plastic. "Dad!" Eilis' panicked cry rose from where she lay on the ground, close to freaking out.

Posted on 07:03, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

"Eilis!" He flew over to help, freeing her from beneth the chair and setting it upright again before lifting her up in his arms and placing her in it. "Hey, hey are you okay?" he asked quietly. "Calm down, nothing will happen."

Won Hyunseon

"I..." he said, watching it all. "I'm sorry," he said. "Honestly, it was accident. I thought that it would be fine and I'm here now. Calm down, Yejun."

Kit

His heard had turned to stare at Eilis, shock plastering over his face, before bristling at the name. "Don't call me that," he snapped, before rubbing a hand over his face. "Fine, fine, it was an accident. I believe you."

She almost nestled into Phoenix's side, trying to calm down. "J-Just re-reminded me of a-aunt a-and u-uncle." Eilis whispered, calming down finally. During the fall and replacement of the girl, the casts covering her legs were visible, explaining why she was stuck in a wheelchair.

me, myself, and I

Posted on 08:39, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

He tried his best to calm Eilis down, reassuring her she'd never see them again and that she didn't need to worry about it. "I'll make Chow Mein and dumplings, would you like that, Eilis?"

Won Hyunseon

Feeling burdened with guilt, he quietly tried to leave the classroom thinking it was better if he wasn't around.

Kit

He was so focussed on Eillis that he didn't notice Ren leave but heard the door closing. Not sure what else to do, he decided that the next best option was: Brooklyn. Kit wasn't helping so maybe she could. Sending a text, he hoped she'd catch him before he got to far.

She nodded quietly, yawning again. "Sounds good, Dad." Eilis wheeled back over to where her blanket lay, moving to go back into a napping state.

Phoenix turned back to Kit and narrowed his eyes. "Where's Ren?"

Brooklyn C.

"Right here," Brooke chirped cheerfully, gripping Ren by the wrist as she dragged him back in the classroom. She'd been here to watch a track meet which some of her friends were in when she got the message, so she found Ren quite quickly. Naturally, Alex was with her because she had ~~dragged~~ convinced her to come along.

Won Hyunseon

Refusing to meet anyone's eyes, instead he focused on trying to get Brooke to let go of him, as he was sure she was cutting off his bloodstream.

Kit

He raised his hands sideways to display Ren, answering Pheonix's question, deciding not to question on how Brooklyn was so quick to get him.

Alex Bellrose

She sighed as she hung around the doorway, not quite sure if she should go in or just wait outside. Eventually, she stepped inside, moving to Kit's side who had poked his tongue out at her in greeting. She didn't really know Kit, who had always avoided eye contact and interaction save for the first day of Christmas break, but he was nice. Her eyes slid onto the girl and she tilted her head.

Kit

"Adopted daughter," he whispered under his breath, noticing Alex about to ask.

She stirred slightly, before relaxing. Her face had relaxed distinctly into a much more innocent expression, a smile of peace forming over her lips.

Posted on 04:12, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

"Right..." he said, observing the three of them. "Can..." he started, looking around apprehensively. "Can you watch Eilis for a little while? I want to talk to Ren in the hallway.

Brooklyn C.

Brooke nodded, letting go of Ren, watching him out of the corner of her eye as he disappeared past her with Phoenix. Afterward, she focused on Eilis, grinning and bending down so they were eye level. "Oh my gosh, you're so cute!" she exclaimed. "What's your name? I'm Brooke. Aww, I can't believe Phoenix didn't tell me about you. I wanna hug you so badly," she cooed.

Alex Bellrose

"Why's she in the wheel chair?" She whispered back, now watching more Brooklyn than the child.

Kit

"I don't know," he said, "I think she's broken both of her legs, poor thing."

BrokenSpirit
Eilis Sun
Posted on 05:55, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

She stirred awake, yawning before fixing her gaze on Brooke, confused. "Uhhh... h-hi?"

me, myself, and I

Brooklyn C.

"Yeah, I think her legs are broken. Aw, I should ask Phoenix when her recovery is due," she said, standing up. "Surely he can make an elixir for something like this. Guess he hasn't found the time."

Kit

"Hasn't found the time to fix someone's broken legs?" He echoed, "huh...we should try go find one. Do him a favour or something...do you think he'll notice if we just...borrowed her for a little bit? Or we could try that spell...curarulcus. That heal bones, right?"

Alex Bellrose

"I don't think he'd approve of kidnapping," she noted before moving over to the girl, bringing out a lollypop, bending down, "hey...want this?" She asked, quietly, "it's...strawberry flavoured." *Though there's no strawberries in it.*

Kit

"If she doesn't want it, I'll have it!" He said, "I love those things!" Alex struggled to keep the smile on her face and stop herself from rolling her eyes.

BrokenSpirit
Eilis Sun
Posted on 06:43, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

She stretched out a hand taking the lollipop hesitantly and unwrapping it with her other hand, sticking it in her mouth. Her voice was garbled, but still clear enough to understand. "Broken legs, broken clavicle whatever that is, broken ribs, bruises, cuts, and torn lung." Eilis spoke, almost in a dream-like state before she looked up at the older students with a bright brown gaze. "You can heal..?"

me, myself, and I

Brooklyn C.

"You don't know his life Kit, go away," she said, rolling her eyes. "And Phoenix would most definitely not approve if we randomly kidnapped his daughter without even a say so as to why. Go... go check on them, actually. It's been awhile. They should've been done by now." She waved Kit away with her hand before turning and beaming at Eilis. "Mm, well, we can, but I think it's better if we have someone more skilled in that. Phoenix can help you. Do you have a cauldron at home? It's like this really big bowl to make elixirs. Phoenix's shown you before, right?"

Kit

He blew a raspberry at the back of Brooklyn's head but bounced out of the room anyway, looking for the other two.

She tilted her head in thought before shrugging slightly. "I-I think..? I don't really remember... I have a hard time remembering stuff." Eilis said in response before the pain returned, bringing a whine from the little girl, and she immediately let out a call. "Dad! Where's the pain-killers?"

me, myself, and I

Posted on 07:58, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

"I just think that maybe you should look into it," he told Ren before he heard Eilis call out. "Stay here, I'll be back," he sighed, walking past him back into the classroom. "Pain's acting up again. It's in my bag, in the second pocket."

Won Hyunseon

Once Phoenix had left he slid down across the wall, burying his head between his knees and his stomach and wrapping his arms around his legs. Suddenly it hurt to breathe, and his head was killing him. Unaware of Kit's presence he started muttering something to himself, trying to get himself to accept Phoenix's advice but he couldn't find a reason why it was worth it, or at least, couldn't convince himself that he deserved it.

Alex Bellrose

She hesitated, wondering if he expected Eillis to get it herself before shaking her head. She wasn't going to let a child administer pain killers. Leaning over, she grabbed the bag, finding the pills.

Kit

"Ren?" He whispered, bending down, "what'd he say?" He asked.

BrokenSpirit
Eilis Sun
Posted on 04:10, January 2, 2018 (UTC)

She took the pills with a faint smile in thanks, before swallowing them down. Eilis remained in the chair, looking around the classroom to keep an eye on everyone. Her stomach suddenly growled loudly, making her almost hide into herself and try to direct the attention off of her. "I-I'm not h-hungry, Phoenix. It's fine."

me, myself, and I

Posted on 04:48, January 2, 2018 (UTC)

He rolled his eyes. "I swear if one more person lies to me today," he said, scowling. "Here, we're going home. You guys can come with us, I don't mind cooking extras."

Won Hyunseon

Kit was beside him, shit. He shifted out of the position and shook his head. "Nothing, nothing, he said nothing. He was just suggesting stress relievers and stuff," he lied.

Alex Bellrose

"No, no, it's fine," she said, holding up her hands in front of her chest, showing her palms, "we have food at home."

Kit

"Are you going to try it?" He asked, tilting his head.

BrokenSpirit
Eilis Sun
Posted on 04:59, January 2, 2018 (UTC)

She wheeled over to Phoenix, reaching her hand up to take his. "Phoenix? Brook said something about healing... Could you heal me?" Eilis asked, blinking carefully at the older man.

me, myself, and I

Posted on 05:06, January 2, 2018 (UTC)

"No," he said. "It's fine. Seriously, you should come." He looked down at Eilis, now that she had his attention. "Heal you? Of course, but I'd have to find all the right ingredients and I don't know if I have them. I'll check when we get home. I promise."

Alex Bellrose

She hesitated before looking over to Brooke, tilting her head, asking if she wanted to go.

BrokenSpirit

Posted on 04:47, January 3, 2018 (UTC)

She watched the other students, brown eyes intense and careful from her position next to Phoenix.

me, myself, and I

Won Hyunseon

He sucked in a breath and stood. "Yeah... yeah I'll try it. Let's go back in now."

Brooklyn C.

Brooklyn shrugged. "We could help. Just give us a list and we can find ingredients. You can cook. It'll be a win win."

Posted on 06:05, January 3, 2018 (UTC)

Phoenix bit his lip and then sighed. "I suppose... Let me pack my things up. Wait by the gate, please."

Kit

He smiled in response before walking back into the room. "We're back; what have we missed?" He asked stretching his arm behind his head.

Alex Bellrose

She jumped at Kit's loud voice and blinked over at him, "food at Phoenix's," she summarised and made a face as Kit's excitement visibly grew.

She wheeled towards the door, vanishing around the corner happily.

Posted on 20:00, January 4, 2018 (UTC)

"You're going to bring the whole school's attention on us, Kit, seriously," he complained, following Eilis after having packed his things.

Won Hyunseon

He smiled sadly and hummed in agreement. "Maybe you should take it from here," he held his hand up and lowered it, "to down here."

Kit

"I'm already down there," he pointed out, poking his tongue out as he passed Ren, following Phoenix into the hallway.

Posted on 05:58, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

She waited slightly not-patient, letting out a hungry whine. "Papaaaaaaaa! HUrry up!"

me, myself, and I

Posted on 06:59, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

"I'm coming, I'm coming, and I told you to call me Phoenix."

Brooklyn C.

She followed the lot of them with a grin dancing on her lips. "Ah, I love this family, don't you Alex?"

Won Hyunseon

"No, you're always up there," he argued.

Alex Bellrose

"I was not aware Phoenix had an adopted family until about five minutes ago, so I'm not quite at the point of loving their small family," she responded, trailing Brooklyn.

Kit

"No I'm not," he said, "usually I'm at ground level but I've ran out of my pills so I'm at stomach level."

BrokenSpirit
Eilis Sun
Posted on 07:23, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

She waited with slight impatience at the gate, wheeling back and forth out of frustration. "But... Phoenix doesn't have the same ring as Dad or Papa!"

me, myself, and I

Posted on 08:25, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

"But I'm also 22," (read: 95), "and feel weird being called Dad."

Brooklyn C.

"But they're so cute," she exclaimed.

Won Hyunseon

"...That's a lie. Every level you're at is up there."

Alex Bellrose

"Stop trying to worm a comment out of me," she said, "I'm not saying anything."

Kit

"No," he said, "stop telling me what level I am."

Eilis Sun
Posted on 05:27, January 10, 2018 (UTC)

She pouted slightly at Phoenix, waiting slightly anxiously as her stomach growled even louder that time. "Come onnnnnnn." Eilis begun to cough suddenly, slowing her movements, still coughing.

me, myself, and I

Brooklyn C.

She pouted. "Come onnn, please, Alex. You must have something to say," Brooklyn pleaded up until Eilis started coughing. She immediately turned her attention to the younger girl. "Is she okay?" she asked Phoenix.

Posted on 06:53, January 10, 2018 (UTC)

"I don't know," he muttered. "Eilis, are you feeling okay? Did you catch a cold somehow? We can stop by a Pharmacy for medicine."

Alex Bellrose

She frowned and looked over to Eillis, half wanting to ask whether she's been taken to a doctor.

BrokenSpirit
Eilis Sun
Posted on 23:56, January 11, 2018 (UTC)

She looked at the older people standing around her before letting out a distinct sigh. "The doctors said slight coughing was normal, because of the injuries to my lungs. Seriously, it's fine!" Eilis sighed, rolling back and forth in her chair. "Can we get dinner anytime soon..?"

me, myself, and I

Posted on 03:01, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

"I honestly don't believe you in the slightest so I'm checking your temperature after dinner," Phoenix replied.

Kit

"When I was a child, being sick was nearly a death sentence," he muttered to himself, his voice barely audible let alone the words, "lucky kid."

BrokenSpirit
Eilis Sun
Posted on 04:09, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

She sighed heavily. “Papa, I swear I’m fine!”she protested, gazing up at Phoenix stubbornly. “There’s no need for a temperature check!”

me, myself, and I

Won Hyunseon

Ren, having been the only one to overhear him, grimaced.

Posted on 04:59, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

"Now that you're saying that, I'm definitely checking it."

Alex Bellrose

She wondered briefly if she should offer her own thermometer, which she kept in her kit, but decided not to. How to make people ask questions: bring out a random thermometer. Other than that, though, she wasn't sure what to to do.
