Aeorlas looked at the stairwell. "I saw some people head up there already," he said. "If anything, he will come down to you." He stepped to the side as someone ran past. He was quiet for a moment, just watching the commotion. "I wonder... hmm... is Bax here because of you?" He said it quietly, but it could still be heard.

"Well... I thought he was." Celine replied, finally stopping the stupid sniffling. "But he seemed surprised to see me here... So perhaps it was for another reason.
Little did she know if Bax had changed his mind. He did in fact remember her clear as day, so it was obvious something was going to happen now that he knew she was here. The one person to defeat Bax was here.

Aeorlas shrugged. "I won't pretend I know everything about you and the Luna Village explosion, much as I like to know everything." He looked back up the stairs. "But if he wasn't here because of you at first, he certainly will be now." He started heading up the stairs, boots echoing in the stairwell. It seemed to have grown rather quiet now. "Let's go check on your friend," he said.

Celine nodded and followed after him, rubbing her arms a little bit. That was unsettling to know that Bax was here for her now, knowing she was here. "Is he going to be here to try and kill me?" She asked, nervous. "I mean... he didn't seem like he wanted to kill me..."

"I would simply wait and see what the Headmaster has to say when he gets back," he replied. He was sounding more blunt and cold than usual. Perhaps because Bax's arrival actually bothered him. But then he was back to his usual dark and creepy yet suave self when they reached the right floor. "This is where the explosion came from?" He looked at the old door with a strange smile. "Well, mind that you don't track blood everywhere." He swept past her and headed back downstairs.

Celine felt a shiver go down her spine at the mention of blood, she remained frozen for a second before she scrambled in there. "Ferris?! Ferris are you here?! Are you ok?! I'm so sorry if I hurt you I wasn't thinking and I was freaking out and all..." she continued to rant about how stupid and silly she was for exploding the room and potentially harming Ferris. She was going to break into a waterfall of tears again if she couldn't find him.

Ferris was standing in the room, which was strangely covered in blood. Blood dripped from the walls, the ceilings, and lined the entire window. The smell of it was rather strong, but that is expectant when such vast quantities are exposed to oxygen. There was also a smell of something burnt, that perhaps smelled a little too much like brimstone and seared flesh, but Ferris appeared to be fine. In fact, he was rather surprised at Celine bursting in all freaked out. "Whoa, it's ok! It's ok!" he said, going over to her and resting his hands on her shoulders. "See, I'm okay."

"Why are you covered in blood?! Did I explode you?! I'm sorry!" She cried. "I'm so sorry!" She said, getting dizzy at the sight of blood. Did she kill Ferris before he appeared to be ok?! Did he have some sort of regeneration powers?! She didn't know, she was just so glad he was ok.

Ferris just let her ramble, sort of. He knew she was really freaked out right now, and for good reason. He had been rather freaked out when he saw the blood too. "I'm alright, I'm alright," he said calmly, talking for himself and for her. "But what about you?" he asked suddenly. "You were thrown out of the tower by the explosion! Did you get hurt?" He spun her around to see if there was blood on her, but she seemed fine too.

"U-Um... I'm not sure how to say this... But Bax caught me with some weird spell. Apparently he wasn't aware that I was here. Now he knows and I have a feeling I'm forever doomed..." She whimpered. "Where did all of this blood come from anyways? Are you sure its not your blood?" She asked, still feeling dizzy.

"Bax caught you..." he echoed. "Well at least you're okay." He went to the door and opened it, either accidentally or purposefully not answering her question about the blood. But even as he walked away, the blood slowly began to disappear, more noticeable now that the window and door were clear of it. "Let's go to a different room. Bax will obviously be expecting you to be in here now since your cover got blown."

The cover was blown indeed, literally and figuratively. Celine followed Ferris, her head down and tears still fell from her eyes. "Again Ferris... I'm so sorry." She wobbled after him, seeing the blood vanish off of her. Where did all of that blood even come from?! If so she had to investigate someday. But now she was just a mess, following after Ferris and slumping behind him.

"I'm alright, Celine," he said again, still trying to sound as reassuring as he could. He felt bad for not telling her, but it was complicated, trying to explain what exactly happened and how he was perfectly fine now. He stopped at another floor and turned to her. "Do you still want to keep an eye on Bax?" he asked. "Or I could take you to your room." She's got it rough, he thought. Barely a day in and already her worst nightmare rides in like he owns this place. Ferris' fists clenched slightly at the thought.

"Um... How about we just keep an eye on Bax and see what he's going to do." She was pretty curious to see how this was going to play out. Did she just endanger everyone here on complete accident by destroying her cover? She prayed there wasn't going to be another massacre. "Ferris... I'm still really scared..." She wobbled over to him.

Ferris gave her a smile, but before he could say anything, there was the sound of heavy footfalls on the stairs, and Ferris turned around to see Aeorlas there, of all people, half-carrying, half-dragging a very pale, very limp Kain. Ferris froze, startled. "What happened?"
"He showed up like this," Aeorlas said in that oddly smooth tone of his. "Very troubling. I offered to get him to the healer's ward, but there's too much commotion going on, so I thought the potions room would be better."
"Why?"
"It has a bed, and it's quieter," Aeorlas replied. He glared at the both of them. "Are you going to help me or not?"
