Bridge Repair?

Classes were over for the day, Orsick had opted to head to the gym after visiting with his father for a bit. It was one of his preferred spots. People were around, but rarely did they bother him. This ongoing saga of trying to mend his relationship with his friend Ravina seemed to have taken several steps back. Especially after the most recent incident. The dragon huffed a sigh before pulling a Rubix cube out of his bag, turning the faces without even looking at the puzzle. He was almost in a trance. Titus said the two of them really needed to talk. Maybe if they did that much things could start to get better. He hoped that would help.

A couple minutes had gone by, Orsick set down the solved puzzle. He'd need to find someone to scramble it for him again. He had some things he needed to tell her too. The gym was mostly empty, a few older kids were playing basketball. "If I keep biting at things no one's gonna wanna be around me," he sighed.

"Yeah, my bite is pretty str- what?" Orsick turned to see Ravvy coming out from beneath the bleachers. Why was he surprised? This was a thing she did a lot, really. A lot of the times he'd be there with her spying on people. He was a bit too dumbfounded to say anything when she took the cube and started trying to figure it out.

"You didn't break it," he took the cube and scrambled the colors up, then handed it back to her. "It's a Rubix cube, you gotta get all six sides to be a different color."

He scooted over a bit so she could sit down. She was here now, having thoroughly caught him off guard. "So what were you doing under there today?"

"I was talking to Titus. Then...I dunno, just thinking about how bad I got the other day. I didn't trust that guy, but I shouldn't have yelled at you and Brailan like that," he took the cube back after Ravvy had given up and started solving it again. He looked at her and smiled faintly, he was glad that she was here, but also a bit nervous too.

He placed the solved cube down in front of him. "I don't wanna just scare everyone away. But mostly you out of everyone."

@Foxy

"I know you're not stupid. I guess it was more what if he was tricking us? Titus says you gotta watch out for people like that. That's kinda what I was trying to say. But still, it was lousy of me to go off on you like that," he stared at the ground, kicking his feet. "I guess I still just wanna be your knight, but I don't think you want that anymore."

He let out a tiny non-threatening growl and shifted into his dragon form. He was always more comfortable like this, he moved to the row behind theirs and settled so he could still rest his head next to Ravvy. This was more comfortable for him, he could detect more without his eyes. He'd gotten a bit bigger in this form since they'd known each other. His scales seemed to glisten in the light, and his horns were looking a bit more pronounced, a fierce predator even for his age. He was a bit taller than a tiger, but thanks to his tail, definitely longer.

"You're doing okay though right? Like you'd tell me if you weren't wouldn't you?"

@Foxy

He made a sort of quiet trilling noise as he listened to Ravvy. Truth be told, he felt a bit like the odd one out within the group. Everyone seemed to have something in their lives that was some sort of trial by fire. Dalia had her heritage. Jax grew up in the woods like a wolf. Ravvy from what it sounded like, came from someplace less than pleasant and now there was this whole thing with her grandfather.

"Your own knight huh? I think you can do it," he tilted his head a bit in Ravvy's general direction in response to his horns being touched. He couldn't feel it, however he could still sense the movement. He could detect everything around him fairly accurately in spite of not being able to see. "You sound more grown up than me when you say stuff like that, so I know you can do it. Maybe you already are your own knight."

Orsick wasn't quite sure what to say to her. On one hand she sounded like she'd figured some things out, on the other maybe not? Titus said life was weird and kind of tricky. Maybe it was something akin to his own feelings sometimes. "I don't know if you're like me, but sometimes I don't feel like I'm good enough to hang out with you guys. It's hard to just explain, but it's just a feeling I get sometimes."
