Natalie thought for a moment. "Oh, I don't know. Sure." She turned to Ian. "Hullo, Ian. Having fun with the normal people, instead of being followed around all day?" A smile grew on her lips. "Did I tell you what I did to him yesterday?"

Ian snorted with laughter, remembering the story. "Yeah. That was hilarious. He deserved it, too. I don't normally like hearing about those kind of things, but..."

Zeph leaned forward. Oh, he had to hear about something happening to that little jerk.
"Oh, do tell," he said with a grin. Normal... well, for this school he could qualify as normal, he supposed. Even if he was a little odd in his magical specialty.

Natalie smiled wider than she ever had. "Oh, you'll love this. I went to Ian's room looking for him. Jonathan was there - he's just gotten out of the shower and was only wearing a towel. I asked where Ian was and Jonathan said he didn't know. Then he tried to make a pass at me so I, simply put, kicked him where it hurts the most. Needless to say, he was down."

Zephyros laughed, rubbing his hands together a little. "Oh really. How perfect. Serves the little asshole right."
He leaned back into his chair... though the chair kept all four feet FIRMLY on the floor. He wasn't going to make that mistake again. He did not enjoy almost passing out.

Aritha looked at Zeph confused, "Since when did you enjoy hearing about other's pain? What happened yesterday?"
He was obviously keeping secrets... she turned to Ian. "Perhaps you can illuminate us. Since Zeph seems to have forgotten how to speak properly."

Ian shifted uneasily in his chair, uncomfortable. Zeph clearly hadn't wanted to talk about what happened, which made Ian wonder whether or not he should. After all, Zeph had flown off the handle... that might not be something he wanted people to know about. In that case, Ian wasn't to say anything at all.
"I'm afraid I have the same thing... er... that Zeph has." He said hesitantly. "I won't say anything unless Zeph says it's... um... okay."

Zeph twitched, almost falling out of his chair. Well, he had kinda ended up throwing Ian under the bus, it was perfectly within his rights to throw him back. He prudently scooted out of Aritha's reach.
"Um... do you remember what I did with Apollos?" he asked hesitantly. Of course she did; it had been all over the news AND she'd helped him bandage up the marks he'd gotten from that little incident. "Well... um... though it had a different trigger... the same thing kinda happened... Except Ian kept it from going so far."

Aritha gasped, looking at him with wide eyes. "ZEPHYROS AETAI! Didn't you learn your lesson last time?!"
He'd beaten this Jonathan UP!?

Zeph flinched. Yeah, that's how he thought she was going to react. He gave her a wan smile, staying very well out of her reach. "Obviously not," he chuckled weakly. Oh boy, she wasn't going to tell anyone was she?

Ian sighed. People at this school were always arguing about something, and for some reason, it was always Ian who had to break it up.
"Aritha," He said, leaning forward. "this may seem irrelevant, but have you actually MET Jonathan?"

Zeph shook his head, "We don't want her to," he said quickly. Jonathan had been lucky with him... Aritha wouldn't care if the headmistress was coming. If she was angry enough, she might take ON the headmistress and REALLY mess things up. Aritha might have been far stronger than she looked, but she was also a lot easier to break than it appeared as well. Her fighting Jonathan... Zeus, that was a frightening thought and he wasn't sure who he would feel worse for.

"Then I seriously doubt you would understand what it's like to be around him." Ian said bluntly, still facing Aritha. "I can't even describe to you what he's like, and I pretty much spend all day with him."
He wasn't justifying Zeph's actions, of course. He was merely trying to explain why what happened, happened. And he was curious about who Apollos was and what had happened to him... Ian made a mental note to ask Zeph about it later, in private.

Aritha sighed, glaring at Zephyros. "I don't care, Zeph should know better. I suppose that explains the storm he mentioned earlier to. The only thing I find impressive is the fact that the entire school doesn't know that something happened."
Normally people noticed things like roof tiles flying, and windows rattling. Zeph must have been really specific in his windstorm or had been a ways away from the school building.

Zephyros chuckled weakly, still being very careful to stay out of her reach. She did NOT look happy... and he didn't want to be in her way. Since he wasn't sure who she was more angry at... him or Jonathan.

Ian flinched a bit. That didn't sound good at all. Aritha wasn't happy... something really bad must have happened last time.
"Subject change." He said very quickly. "What...er... what were you guys talking about when I came over?"

Aritha held up the fashion sketch she'd been working on, almost as though Ian's interest had completely driven the previous conversation out of her head. "Oh, just this. And Zeph startled me..."
She looked over at him and grinned, "And now he has to help me get his boyfriend, he promised if I let him up."

"You didn't let me up, you got distracted and I escaped," Zeph retorted, still out of her reach. He turned to Ian and smiled, "Thanks to you. That girl is a lot stronger than she looks."
He'd noticed Ian's expression when Apollos had been mentioned... and grew concerned that Ian was going to ask about it. There was a reason he didn't usually mention that... he was about as proud of THAT little... adventure as he was of what had happened the day before. Except that last time there hadn't been someone to stop him before he went as far as he planned. Zeph squirmed a little in his seat, knowing Aritha was still angry and now he was going to have to explain one of the worst things in his past... as well as really tell Aritha what had happened. This day was going to Tartaros in a handbasket.

"Children!" Natalie said with mock authority. "I will hear of no fighting! We are all friends here. Let's not kill each other." She paused for a moment, staring at Aritha and Zeph. Then she motioned at Zeph. "Unless, of course, he does something totally stupid, in which case, Aritha, the student body will turn a blind eye and attend his funeral with no guilt whatsoever."

Aritha looked at Zeph with an arched brow. "I don't know... I would rather not deal with his brothers. They would tear me apart."
She smiled at him, tossing a piece of bread that she found on the table at him. "Besides, Zeph and I have known each other for too long for that, I think. He knows too many of the totally stupid things I've done."

Natalie smiled. "Oh really? Care to share any of those with the group? We can do group therapy. That's always fun."
In reality, of course, Natalie had no desire for Aritha to actually share her deep dark secrets, and she hoped that her grin would convey that...

Zeph snorted, "Most of those involve boys and cooking, so... Though I seem to recall one involving trying to drown me..."
He grinned at her and prudently moved even further out of reach.

Aritha's eyes narrowed and she stood up, leaning across the table and hitting him on the head lightly. Well, lightly for her. As his head rocked back, she winced. Too hard. "Sorry Zeph... I don't know my own strength... are you okay?"

Zephyros blinked, putting a hand to his head. Everything was spinning a little and where she had hit him really hurt. He had to wrap his other hand around the back of his chair to keep his balance as he blinked rapidly. He managed a wry grin, "Uh... yeah, 'm 'kay. You ought to know better, Lady White. Done this before, you have."
Wow, she must have scrambled his brains good. Not that it was very bad; everything was settling out already. But he was phrasing things oddly, which he tended to do when a little out of it. And everything still seemed... odd. He tilted his head to the side. Ooh, head was spinning BAD. Wrong move, very wrong move... Slowly he leaned over and fell out of his chair... managing to land well. He looked at the vampire accusingly, sitting on the floor. "Ow. Aritha, you made me dizzy..."

Ian slid out of his chair and knelt next to Zeph. "Are you alright?" He put a hand on Zeph's shoulder. "Do you need to go see Miss Evans-Barros?"
He really hoped that Zeph hadn't been hurt too badly... Natalie had told him about a rather nasty blow Zeph had taken to the head once. It sounded like head injuries seemed to happen to this boy a lot. Ian didn't like seeing people get hurt, especially not people that were nice to him.
