"You're gonna kill Uncle Terent?!" Mazzel said to Loki in a heartbreaking tone. Despite what just happened, Mazzel still loved Uncle Terent, and there would be no killing of him. He still had no idea why Terent just did what he did, and with Loki's threat to kill Terent, Mazzel decided that there had to be a very good reason. Maybe he had a bug on his shoulder and Uncle Terent killed it. Whatever it was, he wasn't gonna let Tallscaryguy hurt Terent. Mazzel ran at Loki and latched onto his waist, ponding at his side with the hardest punches he could... Which really weren't to hard.
Adria fell off Mazzel's head as he charged Loki. She half-glared at him. Human children could be so odd at times. "Me kekek murrtec markeke. Mreeeg mekemarwarrketacke?(Actually... The last few days have been a bit fuzzy... Do you know the way back to the castle?" She rubbed her face in the ground to try to make some sense out of what she remembered.

Loki looked down at the kid, his exterior of anger broken by the genuine affection the child had for Terent. He smiled, carefully re-sheathing his sword so that he missed the child's irate head, if only by a few millimeters, he doubted that he had even noticed. The lizard like creature seemed aggravated as well. had he not had genuine sympathy and affection for the young child that had just recently been the object of his immense effort, he would have found himself laughing. "I was only Joking my friend, nothing more. I have resolved not to take a human life without necessity since I returned form the war."

Smitty cast a nonchalant expression to Adria, "Mraaaaaakerackerarrrrck..." (Just a bit south of here) he then flicked his tail to indicate the direction 'south' in case this wasn't clear to his friend, "Arrraarckerarck." he now said, (Does he know that Terent's isn't actually human?) he asked Adria, a hint of joking in the tone, though the tones and patterns of speech were exceedingly hard for anyone to pick up who didn't understand the speech itself.
Terent glared towards Smitty for a few moments before looking towards Mazzel, "Mazzel, its okay, lad. Don' worry, 'kay?" He smiled reassuringly, to help Mazzel accept the whole 'it's okay' deal. "An' I'm sorry 'bout uhh... killin' ye... I 'ope ye'll forgive me, ye're okay now, right?" he asked, the slightest tinge of worry in his voice, he may be wary of the child- even a bit fearful, but in all honesty- he never stopped caring for the kid. Kind of an 'Uncle Terent' that refused to die in the back of his head, and he was actually rather willing to take care of Mazzel now, though he was really curious as to what happened, because this most certainly wasn't the Mazzel he knew from long ago.
Terent was rather confused...

Mazzel let go of Loki's waist, a slight smug look on his face. "You're just sayin' that 'cause I just beat you up." He nodded at this point, quite sure he had put a serious hurt on Loki. "And Uncle Terent?" Mazzel said, turning to Terent, a slight look of confusion on his face. "Why are you saying sorry for killing me? Mommy said that when you die, you fall asleep and never wake up and you spirit goes up into the sky." Again he nodded, sure he had gotten his facts straight. "Only I'm not asleep or flying. So How can I be dead?" He asked, in genuinely innocent tone that said that he had no idea that he had just died.
Adria nodded to Smitty, blinking a few times, trying to remember this place. Upon remembering nothing, Adria just stopped trying. With Smitty (note how she only cares about Smitty being here, and not Terent, due-to-the-fact that she didn't trust Terent to find his own nose on a good day) here, he could bring them back to the castle. She swished her tail lazily in the grass, enjoying the last few rays of the sun as is sank below the horizon.

Loki looked at Mazzel, "Yes, thats the reason kid." he said, and couldn't help but smile. He'd Imagined what a child with Kassindra would look like many times. It was the only thing that kept him sane from time to time aboard a ship in the empty vacuum of space. At other times, it served as a guide when he asked himself should i go on a fifth sortie today? A tear fell from Loki's eyes, he ran his hand though Mazzel's hair and said, "You're a good kid."

Terent thought it might be awkward if he were to explain it to Mazzel, so he instead just shrugged, "I was just kiddin' with ye, Mazzel. Yer no' dead." Terent was actually trying not to tell Loki to keep away from the kid, a bit of protectiveness surfacing for the child. His purple eyes rested fondly on the child, though. He wondered how Mazzel could have become a young child again, it really was rather confusing to be honest,but he figured that he wouldn't remember so he didn't bother asking, considering Adria was obviously rather confused, Mazzel wasn't likely to know any more than the dragon, he was more likely to remember less, actually.
"AAAa-aaaaaa-a-a-a-arrrrr...." Smitty opened his mouth wide, though this was no words or speech, it was a yawn, a little gecko-dragon yawn, nothing else.

Mazzel rubbed his eyes and yawned. He blinked a few times before yawning again, obviously tired. He reached his hand into his pocket to keep warm, and upon doing so, he felt a glass pendent in his pocket. His face lit up as he remembered what it was, and ran over to Terent with it in his hand. "I got you a present!" He exclaimed, dangling it out on it black cord. It was a clear glass drop with a translucent glass Shroom inside. Mazzel beamed as he presented the gift, quiet proud of his find.
Adria sluggishly move over to Mazzel, climbed up his leg, and settled on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and looked like she fell asleep. It was eerie however, that her eyelids had the print of eyes on them, so even though she was asleep, it looked like she was still watching...

Loki sighed, there wasn't anything to lean on to watch the scene. There wasn't much to do, he was as alien in this scene was he was anywhere in the school. He knew Terent, but Terent was more at home involved with Mazzel than with him. He felt even more alone now, but that was something he couldn't help. he feigned a smile and closed his eyes, trying to hold back the tears of despair that he felt welling up.

Terent looked at the object and smiled, "Thank'ye Mazzel, It's very nice." he accepted the gift, putting it around his neck and looked towards Loki, "Mazzel, thi' is Loki." He nodded, motioning towards Loki. Okay, Terent was able to figure something out now- obviously Mazzel had been a kid for quite some time, considering he'd been able to find an odd little thing like this... for him. Terent was beaming with that almost fatherly happiness under his respirator, which was rather funny because Terent was in no way even related to Mazzel.
It was kinda sweet in that twisted but-didn't-he-just-kill-that-kid-so-what-the-fux-is-up kinda way.

Mazzel grinned a silly child smile that only a kid could get away with without looking like a crazy ax murder. He looked over to Loki and gave a one finger wave, still smiling. His expression fell as he saw the Loki was sad. Mazzel may be gullible, but he really wasn't that stupid. He walked back over to Loki and tugged on his pants to get his attention. He lifted Adria off his shoulder and offered her to Loki. "When I'm sad, I hug Adria to make myself feel better. It works, really." He promised, swinging her sightly to Loki.
Adria yawned and blinked cutely, licking her mouth with her fleshy tongue. She seemed not to mind being offered as a hug toy, but then again, she was still half asleep.

Loki smiled genuinely, "thank you." he said, touched by the guesture. he accepted the dragon and embraced it. it was cold everywhere save its core, where heat seemed to make its home. it was an unsual reptile, but then again, dragons weren't all together common on Terra, or in the Imperium. He handed back the creature of Mazzel. "Thank you Very Much." he said. he looked aroun the field, nothing but emptiness, "anyone know how to get back to school?"

Terent muttered something under his breath when Loki hugged the dragon, but whatever he had said was muffled by the respirator, but upon the asking of the question about how to return to Twilight Moon Academy, Terent nodded. He'd been around here long enough to know what was there, an amazing feat, I know. Terent knew where everything was! except his socks... they always got lost in the dryer, which was completely besides the point. Terent pointed, taking on a very serious demeanor, his finger indicating which way the school would be, "Th'Cademy woul' be in tha direction if ye'd please." Terent's little valiant moment and exxaggerated pose was inturrupted when Smitty returned to Terent's head and Terent promptly yawned, "Okay then evry'un... it looks like we're 'eaded back?" he asked, since it was getting rather dark already. A small lantern of very bright purple magic appeared next to Terent, a very nice way of providing light in the dark, dontchyathink?

Mazzel put Adria back on his head and dashed over to Terent. His eyes danced mischievously. "What are those?" Mazzel asked, poking one of Terent's tattoos that was under his eye. Without waiting for an answer, Mazzel plucked the respirator off Terent's face, stuck it on his own, and then asked, "Uncle Terent? Whats this?" He took it off and turned it over in his hands, trying to figure this odd little thing out. Once again his attention strayed. "Is Mommy going to be at the castle tonight?" He asked, again not waiting for an answer. He looked at Terent happily, unaware that without the respirator, Terent probably couldn't breath.
Adria looked at Terent's magic warily, but deciding that there were to be no more 'lets beat up Mazzel' moments tonight, she let her head droop over Mazzel's forehead, and began to drift off to sleep again.

The sun was falling rapidly in the sky as Terent made the observation. When he made a lantern with magic, Loki's lower lip jutted out in a praising expression at his ingenuity. Withdrawing his blade, Loki closed his eyes and concentrated on the steel in his hands. It was a split second before he felt heat on his face. He opened his eyes to see that his blade was a live with a fire, not blaze, but faint glow, as if he had just removed it from a forge. he smiled before turning his head to Mazzel and Terent, "Good day, and may the blessings be upon you!" he turned in the direction that Terent had indicated, his sword lighting his way as he stepped off.

Terent didn't neccessarily spaz out when his respirator was removed, he could last a few minutes without it, though they were normally agonizing moments, "I need it to breathe..." he said, his voice very quiet and it was obvious he was straining to speak without the respirator, he held his hand out for the respirator, really hoping the child would return it. If not, he'd just take it back, simple as that.
