Malachy shook his head and held his tongue. Malachy wanted to get her back so bad but he knew it was a bad idea. he also wanted to say that he was still right in punching Shadow. and he wanted remind her that h knew what he meant because he felt the same way but at the moment he was playing the person she was going to for help.
Suddenly the bird spoke up using its mind. Would you like me to steal that dagger?[/i] Malachy's mind had wondered to the dagger and the Demon the Raven must have connected the dots. Malachy looked at the black bird and wondered what Morgan would say.

Morgan was glad Malachy wasn't being pushy. His quietness right now was exactly the perfect response. It allowed her to hear her own thought, out loud, without having to process advice, comisseration, or even consoling. She put her own arms around Malachy, giving him a friendly hug. "Thanks so much for listening, Malachy. You're a really great friend, you know that?"
"Thank you I hope we can stay that way." He said Hoping they would stay friends. He wanted to be more than that, but neither of them where ready for more. "Now for a change of subject. How did you train Monlied, Maybe I'll be able top use some of the same methods with Belasko. The raven looked up at them from its perch on the end of the chair. It had heard its name and wanted to know why he was being talked about.
Malachy wanted to move them to a more comfortable suggestion and hoped she was done crying about Luc.

Morgan was indeed done crying about Lucius, in public at least. She still felt a hollow ache, but she was past the bawling like an infant stage. She did what needed to be done, and there was nothing more to be said about it. Dwelling on it would only make her feel bad, and nobody wanted that. She made a mental note to apologize to Shadow, though. In Person. She hoped she could work up the courage for that, at least. Out of everyone involved, she owed him an apology more than anything.
Morgan released Malachy, and stood. She needed to stretch her legs after sitting on the hard stone floor of the tower. "Oh, well, training birds is pretty easy. We do a lot of the common falconry training methods with lures, but because we're psionically linked, there's no need for jesses or hoods. And, you won't even need gloves, because ravens aren't as large as...well, Mondleid."
As if on cue, The Eagletross returned, flying in through an open window. Morgan pulled on one of her elbow-length, dragon hide gloves, and her familiar perched on her forearm. "See what I mean? I really ought to be using an eagle glove. One that goes up to my shoulder, but Mon is careful of where he puts his feet. We also do other exercises, like the one I showed you with Bloodwing. The important thing, like I said before, is to remain in constant psionic contact." Mondleid started nipping at Morgan's hair and making bird noises, interrupting her.
"Oh, you silly thing! Fine, I'l get you some food." She crossed to the window. "You too, Dora." At the mention of food, the little wolf's ears had perked up. "Out front in half an hour." The snowy white bird took wing, complaining psionically about waiting. "No, you can't come in to the feasting hall with me. Because! It's not sanitary! And you can't either, Dora. Sorry, Malachy. It's time to feed the menagerie."
[glow=white,2,300]'Big bird isn't only dumber than I am he's slower too?'[/glow] Malachy looked at the Raven who only looked back at him with a 'well you know it's true.' expression. Then at the mention of food that Raven was suddenly irritate that the other familiars where getting fed and he wasn't. Malachy saw an image of himself swooping down to steal Monlied's food
"I Think it best to feel Belasko too before he end up eaten by your bird. oh and raven are rather sanitary and He's less liable to knock things over I think I'll take him to the feasting hall hall and let him have his pick." At that he could have sworn Belasko started laughing at Monlied. "maybe all have you wait with the others if you act like that. The raven then started showing him images of him finding food his own way, by stealing. and Mal had to let the bird gloat. sorry the bird is smart but reckless. [glow=white,2,300]'Only when i need to be.'[/color][/glow]DERP!

OOC: Damned dead drive for all this >->... ~~~
Lucius had been outside trying to get the feeling of numbness out of the right side of his body... After Talon took his dagger from him, the lion had found that below his neck, the right side of his body felt like it wasn't even there. It had been almost instantaneous, and it had dropped him to the floor when it happened.
"Damned demon, holding half my soul to ransom... Now I feel more empty and alone inside..."
Sitting down heavily, the gryffindor looked to the sky as a letter dive-bombed to his lap from a familiar-looking bird. Picking it up, he started to smile when he noticed the handwriting... That all changed as he read the contents...
"What?!? Can my life get any worse? Wait... Don't even answer that..."
Talking to no-one in particular, the teen stood up shakily before falling to his knees. Gritting his teeth, Lucius forced himself to his feet... With a supreme amount of willpower, he stood up and stayed standing.
"Looks like I can only move when focusing on my numbed side..."
Looking back along the school grounds towards Ravenwood Tower, the teen took staggered and limping step after step towards the tower...
"I owe her an explanation... I shouldn't have kept my theory quiet..."
Climbing the stairs, he listened out for voices coming down... He heard Morgan and a familiar voice that he couldn't place yet from the echo-y distortion of the tower's insides... Not until he was against the door. Panting with the effort, he listened to the conversation inside while his left hand rested on the door handle... Waiting for the conversation to shift away from himself, he opened the door and practically fell through it as his right leg gave out again. With a crash of knocking something over as his right arm flailed uselessly in an attempt at stopping himself, the teen started to push himself upright.
"Tell me that was a joke... Please..."
Ignorant of the fact his right arm was cut from his flailing thanks to the numb feeling present, Lucius pushed himself slowly to his knees.
"I owe an explanation for my actions, I can see that... And it regards my choices, but if you want to break it up with me... Don't use a letter... Please, you need to tell me to my face."

"Lucius!" Morgan was surprised by his sudden appearance in the tower. How much of that had she heard? She tried to recall what she had said. Was he going to be angry? Well, of course he would be. She'd broken up with him in a letter. Tears began to gather in her eyes again, threatening to send her back into a stormy fit of crying. "I-I...I'm sorry. I'm not brave, like you. I c-can't..." But whatever it was that she could not do was drowned in a flood of tears. Dora stood in between her mistress and the two guys, as Morgan gave an involuntary command to be protected.
She tensed. Should she run, or should she stay? She couldn't face him. She couldn't face anyone. She had to stay. She had to tell him. Her mouth opened, as though she were going to speak again, but no words came out. What was left to say? She tried again. "I c-can't b-be with y-you!" The words shuddered out between sobs. "L-leave me al-lone!" Then, she ran, bird and wolf following her. She couldn't bear to be near anyone right now.

"Wait!"
Forcing himself to his feet, Lucius half-ran, half-staggered after her. Though, she was already running down the stairs by the time the lion could reach the landing.
"Oh well, you only live once!"
Vaulting over the rail with his left hand, Lucius focused on his right arm and reached out for the rail for the landing several floors down. As his hand curled round the metal, he heard rather than felt, his shoulder pop out of it's socket.
"Agh! Bad idea, bad idea!"
Hauling himself over the railing, he stood up and yelled loud enough for his voice to carry up to the Ravenclaw who was still at least two floors above him.
"Stop running! You said I chose the demon, and I'm going to tell you why! If you're running because you think I'm angry, don't! I'm not angry, just dissapointed. Brave? Foolish fits me more..."
Making sure he was standing in the way of the next set of stairs, Lucius gripped his arm and started to ease it back into it's socket. With a wet "pop", he relocated his shoulder. Again, the numb feeling in his arm prevented him from feeling the pain...
"You want to know why I chose to keep the demon rather than let it be destroyed? I had a theory which was proven true; We separated the flesh but not the spirit. He still has half of my soul and right now, the headmaster is in possession of both my dagger and the demon. That means he also has half of my soul. If that half is more than a foot away from me, half my body goes numb entirely. Pain, movement, the works. I can only more my right arm and leg by focusing on them, which means I can't even fight properly any more."
Taking a deep breath, Lucius kept listening for footsteps.
"The reason I couldn't let go of the demon wasn't an attraction to it's power like everyone thinks, but because of me being the only one who can control Samael of Abaddon and because I was unsure of whether or not he had half of my soul. Right now, if he is banished, there is a ninety-five percent chance that I'll die. That means he can simply use my body as a medium to return and create his physical body. If I had all of my soul back in my body, I would personally return him to whatever hell he was spawned in."
Shaking his head, Lucius sighed... With all the echos, he couldn't tell if Morgan had fled back upstairs or had stopped or done something more drastic like throwing herself out of a window or something...
"If you still want to end our relationship, I won't stop you and I hope that we would still be able to be friends afterwards... But know this; I swore I would protect you with everything I had. That still stands regardless, because I never go back on my word. It's the only reason I can keep on existing with the hope of salvation waiting for me... There is no other way for me to exist without having someone or something to protect. If you are the white queen in chess, then I am merely the black knight who would risk losing his own life to protect you."

The tears and sobs were back, full force. But, she had to make him stop chasing her. "Sh-shut up! I-I d-don't want to h-hear it! L-leave m-me alone!" Morgan didn't care what Lucius had to say, she couldn't go back. It was too hard, and she wasn't brave enough. And please God, make him stop loving me. I don't want to love him anymore. His explainations fell on deaf ears, and Morgan screamed at him at the top of her voice, hoping that, if she yelled it, he would believe the lies she was telling him.
"Y-you M-moron! Don't y-you g-get it!? I don't l-love y-you any-m-more! I t-tried to b-be n-nice, but y-you're t-too d-dumb to understand! S-stay away f-from me!" He was too good for her. She ran again, pushing past him. As her feet pounded the stairs, she heard one word repeated in their gait.
coward. coward. coward.
Her cowardly footsteps pounded out of sight, heading straight for the Ravenclaw commons. Her ivory hair unfurled behind her, like a ragged banner of hurt pride. She hadn't wanted to hurt Lucius, but it had been the only way to make him stay away. He had to stay away, or her resolve wouldn't last.
