Hm, so it looked as if the two did not appreciate his intrusion not that he had figured they would. Both had wanted him gone though neither could actually make him leave he chose to acquiesce once they had been dressed …

Birch nodded as he stepped back into a tree once the pair had dressed phasing out of sight. He would continue to stalk them while they were in the forest not that he figured that there would be any problem but he did keep an eye on the pair as he shift position from tree to tree with apparent ease as he kept an eye on them from afar to make sure the two made it out of his domain safely enough, it was the least he had to offer as they went as he blended into the background as he kept an eye on the two, clearly he would see neither again, at least if they could help it though he had experience bizarre matters before where students he expected to return did not so he was always left uncertain.

But for now Birch had gotten his meal and while he still had room for more he did refrain due to their arrangements not that he had be honor bound to keep them he did honor them when he made them for the most part and thus he let them be for now.

Fenris dressed herself when Bria brought her clothes over, though she remained seated in the wild grass as she did so. During that time, she fought to recover enough strength to get herself back to the campus as quickly as possible. With sudden clarity, she felt access into her magic open up once again. How suspiciously convenient.

She dipped into the reserve of ethereal energy, and used it to fuel her body. In an instant, she felt right as can be. Her hands pushed her back up to her feet, and she dusted the dirt off of her hands, legs and bottom as best she could. After she made sure Bria was okay and ready to go, she grasped the other girl’s hand and led her back to the trail.

Out of the corner of her eye, Fenris spotted her abandoned orchid in the meadow, but decided she’d leave it there. For one, it would probably be better off there for the time being, rather than cooped up back in her room. Secondly, it would serve as a marker when Fenris snuck back out here on her own to hunt the creature once she’d regained her strength and honed her magic a little sharper. Without a word, she gave a silent goodbye to her flower as the two students began to make their way back to Shokushu.

She was fine, the two girls moved on and whether by luck or the fact that whatever may have been out there did not like sloppy seconds they made their way back through the forest unaware that Birch had followed. Perhaps his presence kept the others at bay, perhaps they believed that he was in stalking more.

All in all it wasn't too bad of a day here. It had started with a trip to the beach, then a rest on that bench and a sleeping spell later. Well, that plant she thought could have been a severe buzz kill but they had managed to make the best out of a bad situation.

“So, this is where you live huh? I'm not too far off, just down at the end of the hall, you take a right and it's three doors down. Funny we didn't run into each other sooner.

“See you tomorrow?” She offered up a smile before she would depart for her own room so she could process this all.

The rest of the trek to the school went without incident. Fenris allowed a heavy sigh of relief to pass as she saw the dorms building looming over her and her new friend. All around them, students continued to go about their business without a clue of the horrors that lurked all about them. Fenris pitied these girls, and in a way it made her thankful for the wisdom of knowing her true situation. After all, you cannot fight an enemy you are unaware of.

For today, however, the fight was over; Fenris had lost. She smiled at Bria when the other girl pointed out how close their dorms were to each other. Her fingers clasped her key as she unlocked her door, and then turned to her friend. “This really is nice. We’ll have to hang out more often,” Fenris confirmed with a nod and a genuine smile, “I’ll be busy tomorrow with a martial training session, followed by some extracurricular studies in the library. Tell you what, though, we’ll do lunch tomorrow. I’ll come find you sometime in the afternoon. Until then, take care, Bria.”

After the two girls parted ways, Fenris closed her door and leaned against it as she allowed her exhaustion to come forth at long last. She began unbuttoning her blouse, and moved towards the bathroom. A few minutes later, and the petite beauty slipped her naked body under the warm spray of her dorm’s shower. With her mind elsewhere, her fingers idly lathered her perfect curves. The steamy spray wore away at the sweat and sex that stained her otherwise flawless skin.

An unknown, but blissful expanse of time later, Fenris stepped out of the shower and toweled herself dry. She finished by wrapping the towel about her soaked mane of hair. Otherwise completely naked, the lovely student stepped back out into her room. She strode lazily over to a small couch next to her room’s window. There, she stretched herself out, closed her eyes and drifted off to a well-deserved nap beneath the sinking rays of the late-afternoon sun. Tomorrow, she would begin to prepare herself for her vengeance.
