Private Finished Beware the Deadly Flower of Meadow and Mist: Lucan encounters Pallavi

"Pallavi....," he'd say with a sigh, "you don't have to...," then the roots appeared, he felt some wrap around his ankles, and so he'd vanish. He didn't leave though, he instantly reappeared in a tree at the edge of the field, just above the fog, "hey now, there's no need for that. I'm a teleporter anyways."

He'd sigh and rub the temples of his head, "look...they'll let you in, because.....," he hadn't told many, just teachers, "because they let me in." Lucan would sit in the branch as he sent these thoughts to her, "I don't know what it's been like for you, being out here, on your own, but it doesn't have to be like that."

Pallavi....I'm a demon," he'd finally, "well half....haven't told many, but the school knows..and they let me in." He needed to help this poor girl, had to convince her, "my father would trick humans out of their souls and them sell then to the hell lords, despite that, the school let me in." He looked out into the fog, no longer able to see her, "so please, let me help you, let the school help you, because you're not a monster, not at all."

The branch would break and he'd fall, he'd feel his head graze against the trunk of the tree, and then he'd again vanish. He'd reappear in another tree close by, but a bit higher up, he'd lean against the trunk letting his vision clear, his hand probing his forehead and finding it bleeding.

"Damnit Pallavi...that wasn't necessary," he'd take a slightly shaky breath, "look, dangerous powers aren't unusual for people at the school." He wasn't done trying, not just yet, "they have power bracelets and human shape charms, magical devices that would make sure you weren't a threat."

He'd slowly stand, "that's assuming you're actually a threat in general," he'd wipe 's bit of blood from his head, "so far you don't seem like a threat, you just want to protect yourself."

"You're being stubborn and not thinking things clearly," he'd wipe more blood from his eyes, he wasn't completely sure what do. He went to say something when she raised her tail, he'd vanish before it struck, reappearing in another tree, "not gonna let you kill me, so just listen for a bit."

"You think you're the only being that would be considered dangerous by most?" he'd sigh and shake his head, "the school, this whole island, is for people like that, a place where they can get help." He didn't want to just leave her out here without trying to talk to her a bit more.

"A school dedicated to taking in the lost and the dangerous...tell me....would it make any sense for such a place to destroy you?" he'd wipe bit more blood away, head injuries tended to bleed a lot, "they wouldn't, because it's made to help people like you."

He'd teleport to another tree, "I can't make you accept help...but I do ask that you think it all over."

He'd again vanish and reappear in another tree, scurrying around the trunk to where he was out of sight. "I'm so sorry that happened to you," he'd tell her, "d-did they know? That you weren't just a flower?"

He'd go silent for a bit before resuming the conversation, "maybe it was a mistake...maybe things have changed since then." He wanted to help her, but it was clear he couldn't do it like this, he could always come back.

"Will you let me check?" he'd ask her, "I can poke around, see how things have changed and then I can come back and talk again?" He'd sigh, "you shouldn't be alone, you don't deserve this."

"How long have you been waiting?" he'd ask, he got the feeling she'd been out here a very long time.

"Pallavi, if I'd wanted to I could have already teleported away and told someone...but I haven't...," he'd sigh, "because...I want you to be safe, I don't want you getting hurt." She'd cut open his head and given him a concussion but he could tell she didn't want to do it.

Finally he'd step out to where she could see him, "you deserve friends, a life, I can check things out, I think it'll be safe for you but I can make sure first." He didn't want her left out here all on her own, she did deserve that.
