Xelqua's students stood to attention and as Xelqua went to do the same, the council member put a hand up to stop him. "リ𝙹 リᒷᒷ↸ ᒷ⍊ᒷ∷||𝙹リᒷ. ╎ ᓭ╎ᒲ!¡ꖎ|| ᓵᔑᒲᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ℸ ̣ ᒷꖎꖎ ||𝙹⚍ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ 𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ !¡∷𝙹⎓ᒷᓭᓭ𝙹∷ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ʖᒷ ⎓ᔑᓵ╎リ⊣ ᓭᒷ⍊ᒷ∷ᒷ ᓵ𝙹リᓭᒷᑑᒷリᓵᒷᓭ ⎓𝙹∷ !¡ꖎᔑリリ╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ 𝙹∷↸ᒷᔑꖎ ᔑリ↸ ⍑ᒷ∷ ᓵꖎᔑᓭᓭ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ʖᒷ ⊣╎⍊ᒷリ ↸╎ᓭ╎!¡ꖎᒷリᔑリℸ ̣ ᔑ∷|| ᔑᓵℸ ̣ ╎𝙹リ."

The class sat down again as Xelqua bowed his head, "ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑリꖌ ||𝙹⚍, ᓵ𝙹⚍リᓵ╎ꖎ ᒲᒷᒲʖᒷ∷."

"↸𝙹 リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑリꖌ ᒲᒷ. ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑリꖌ ℸ ̣ ∴𝙹 𝙹⎓ ||𝙹⚍∷ ᓭℸ ̣ ⚍↸ᒷリℸ ̣ ᓭ ⎓𝙹∷ ⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ リ⚍∷ᓭᒷᓭ ᔑリ↸ ╎."

With that, the council member disappeared. Xelqua looked up seeing the tail end of wings of the nurses, carrying his two wounded away. He sighed quietly and stretched before Mackinsey gave him some fruit. He thanked her and helped give out the rest. They decided to save some of everything for the injured. They all needed time to relax after that ordeal.

"ᒲᔑリ, ╎⎓ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ|| ↸╎↸リ'ℸ ̣ ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ᔑᓵꖌ ⚍ᓭ ∴ᒷ ᓵ𝙹⚍ꖎ↸ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ∴𝙹リ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣. 𝙹⚍∷ !¡ꖎᔑリ ∴ᔑᓭ !¡∷ᒷℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ || ⎓ꖎᔑ∴ꖎᒷᓭᓭ!" Myles groaned, falling onto his back looking at the sky. Xelqua chuckled quietly.

"∴ᒷꖎꖎ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷリ. ╎'↸ ꖎ╎ꖌᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑𝙹ᓭᒷ ∴⍑𝙹 ∴ᒷ∷ᒷ 𝙹リ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ 𝙹⎓⎓ᒷリᓭᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ∴∷╎ℸ ̣ ᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ╎∷ !¡ꖎᔑリ ╎リ ↸ᒷℸ ̣ ᔑ╎ꖎ ℸ ̣ 𝙹ᒲᒲ∷𝙹∴ ⎓𝙹∷ ⚍ᓭ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ⊣𝙹 𝙹⍊ᒷ∷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ↸ᔑ|| ᔑ⎓ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷."

His students groaned, "||ᒷᓭ !¡∷𝙹⎓ᒷᓭᓭ𝙹∷."

After everyone had their fill, they went back to their class to gather what they left and return to their dorms. Xelqua brought the food to Eli and Talik to the medical wing, knocking on the door before poking his head in. "ᒷꖎ╎, ℸ ̣ ᔑꖎ╎ꖌ. ╎ ʖ∷𝙹⚍⊣⍑ℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ℸ ̣ ∴𝙹 ᓭ𝙹ᒲᒷ ⎓𝙹𝙹↸. ⍑𝙹∴'∷ᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ℸ ̣ ∴𝙹 ⎓ᒷᒷꖎ╎リ⊣?" He asked quietly, glancing around and relaxing, seeing it was just them.

"Thank you professor." Talik yawned slowly sitting up. "And we're alright....just shallow gashes and sprains." He scooted back letting Xelqua sit on the foot of his bed. Xelqua nodded quietly and gave them both some of the food and drink. "That's good to hear. The professor and her class will be taken care of as the council sees fit so you won't have to worry about them anymore..."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"We're not buying that."

"You two, Calypso and Juluis...." Xelqua murmured looking away fixing his mask. "But really. I'm alright." He attempted to reassure them, only for Eli to sit up, reach over, and pull him off Talik's bed.

"You were there, standing there, but you weren't there. What happened?" They asked, crossing their arms. Talik nodded, leaning forward too to look at their professor who slowly got to his feet after a moment. "You're still...clearly not all here. You almost collapsed back there. We saw it."
