Go Home. (open, ask first)

Again, she was close to right, but not quite. The ideal he fought for was not pride though. And he was selfish. Just not in the way he was thinking. He knew there was no getting his family back. That was his ideal, all he yearned for. Here Ozaki was, a grown as man stuck in teenage limbo hell for however long his bloody life lasted, just wanting his father back.

His mother was dead, there was no bringing her back. But… There was one more thing he had to try. But as impulsive as Dawn was, the moment she heard the truth she’d go flying off the rails. Besides, he wouldn’t want to burden her with hearing more of his sob story about a vampire with daddy issues.

The first backhand that hit elicited a real shout of pain from Ozaki. After that he gritted his jaw shut, baring his fangs as he put his bandaged arms up to defend himself. The hits themselves might not hurt so much... however There was one very important thing Dawn had forgotten, something the nurse had said earlier. The fact that the bandages on his face and arms were covering up second and third degree burns.

The nurse automatically realized what was going on and made an effort to separate them. “Madame I’m going to need to ask you to leave!”

It was in that moment Ozaki realized he still had the needle in his hands. That was an option... but how would he get to both steps needed in between these blows?

The scent of blood was filling his nostrils from Dawn’s earlier spill. Oh yah....

“You wouldn’t understand! Even if I told you!” He shouted at her, doing his best to hold back the tears from the pain he was now in from his burns being hit so profusely. If he had been uncomfortable before he was in extreme pain now. “Now that is enough!”

His own adrenaline was fueling him now, and with a mighty effort he used his blood manipulation to pull his blood soaked shirt into his hand. As he did so the blood around his hand changed colors into a transparent fluid, which he then proceeded to try and cover Dawn’s mouth and nose with.

What was this mystery fluid you might ask? Chloroform. He wasn’t sure if it would work on a man in, but he couldn’t must keep taking this. And he knew even if the nurse did pull her away, that would not stop her for long.

The whole big scene was something that typically would have caused the pacifist to attempt using her own body to defend against anyone coming to harm until the tension died down and things could be handled peacefully once more. However, slowly as she licked at something so sweet for the first time as Askel had actually taken some care to keep her away from anything that could resemble her tastes prior to memory loss, feelings from who she used to be rose against her knowledge. Luckily, the emotions keeping her fixated on the sweetness of Dawn's blood was not enough to give her a thirst to fight out of nowhere, but one of these days that would not be the case. Battle was in a Blood Devil's nature and war ran through the veins of her soul, one of these days the way Askel had conditioned the girl was going to give out beneath the weight of her truer nature. 

"I'm feeding what does it freaking look like." she rolled her eyes with a huff coming out of her mouth, lowering herself when the other's body eventually lowered from passing out, behaving as if nothing had happened. Now unconscious Dawn would not get to see it but Yuuki would have a front row seat when Nyx looked up to the fact her eyes had taken on that dark tone again, in spite of her seeming to be completely in control. "Eventually, I'm going to have to pry to figure out what makes this so sweet." tiny fingers ran across the last of the blood leaking out of the teachers neck, bringing it to her lips and savoring those last few drops with a content sigh, sorrowed look in her eyes over that being the end of it. Sure, she could bite again, but with Dawn unconscious that was cowardly. There it was again, why was she so focused on what was cowardly and what wasn't!

The gaze of the Blood Devil would return to normal swiftly as she moved to attempt picking up the teacher carefully, her strength being more than enough to do so, though her hand now ached from whatever had happened earlier. "So what now." she really didn't know where to go from here. 

Addressing the Blood Devil in the room could be a pinch difficult because for several very long moments, the little devil he was addressing was not emotionally the teenager he'd come to know over the last few days. Instead? The emotions of a woman sworn to pursue honorable combat as her life, shed blood and skills for no reason expect  appeasing a god who could never love her back as intensely as she loved him, those emotions had found their way to surface for the first time in years. This version of Nyx was much less hyper, emotions and reflexes built up over years of a different life. No matter how dark her eyes looked, for the moment she seemed to be calm enough to freeze over the underworld. 

It was going to take a while for Nyx to return to normal, with the sweet after taste of blood still on her tongue and no reasonable reason to fight how calm she felt. Nyx knew that had been right, drinking blood so sweet was right for her. "I guess I should get going too." not that she knew where she was going to go, but she could find some nice tree or something. For some reason sleeping outside of normal conditions? Felt so comfortable, as if she was adapted to not always have the luxury, even though she had no memories of any time she had lacked a bed. "Or I can watch over her until she wakes." the little devil was full for the moment, and besides she didn't want Dawn dead or anything like that. After a stressful day she wasn't sure Ozaki would want to take her home, or if he even could.

It should have been when Dawn was taken that she noticed things or generally anything that had went on, but the little devil didn't notice anything. They had sat there for what felt like forever and actually was a fairly decent amount of time considering the nurse was a bit afraid of her. For the longest time all Yuuki would get was radio silence as the Blood Devil sat on the edge of the bed one wing extended to partially encase one side of Dawn's body. 

Nyx was quiet for so long that she eventually came back to herself, eyes widening slightly as she looked over at Mr.Ozaki, biting one of her fingers to soothe herself. "I'm so sorry about that, I swear it won't happen again, I'm alright now." the blood dripped down her hand as her tail lashed slightly nervous, eyes darting around until she fell sullen. "Of course, there's nothing left for someone to take away if I'm too calm." she scoffed slightly, resting her head on her knees with her gaze facing towards the inventory manager. "I's freaky isn't it Mr.Ozaki? The first time that happened to me Askel spent the day jumping out of his skin whenever I asked him for something." because Askel knew who she really was, what slept inside of her and realized the behavior she had been displaying was of the woman he fought for days before he'd been able to lay a trap to subdue her. Having barely bested the blood god worshipper once? The man was clearly scared of what would happen should she become that woman again, and how much more dangerous she could be without her memories. "He looked like he thought I was going to kill him, it was actually the week before he enrolled me here." she thought everything was going good, so much of the truth about herself outside of her grasp, unable to stop the few small tears that slipped form her, once more realizing she had nothing left anymore.
