Has anyone seen any sign of those Grues or black dandelion puffs or whatever you want to call them or anything they've possessed at all today?

I haven't seen any sign of them since Monday...

I suppose calling them dandelion sprites is a bit silly. Though they really do not seem dangerous enough to be grues.

[[Oh hey. Points for you, sensei~]]

You didn't get to see a wave of them come together.

That and anything that can possess something else is far more dangerous than a flower.

[professorwolf]

[Nevermind the name. What's this about a wave?]

What happened?

[Lyall is still oblivious to the things his student(s) took part in... maybe not for much longer.]

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

[[...crap.

...well. May as well admit it]]

When there was a group of us... we all got rushed by a wave of them.

[Lyall is a smart man. He can put two and two together.]

You went hunting with that little group Davin put together, didn't you?

[He's not mad. A little disappointed, and worried, but not mad. Not really. He wouldn't have expected that to be a dangerous thing to do, anyway, even though he still thinks it was pretty pointless.]

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah.


...you're not mad, are you?

[[It's an odd bit of vulnerability showing in that question. Like most of his peers, Bakura wasn't exactly the sort to let on that he cared about other people's opinions, especially that of an adult! even when he very much did. But this situation was different. Very different.]]

[professorwolf]

No, I'm not mad. I wish you hadn't done it, since you could have been hurt and we don't know who all these people are.

[And he doesn't necessarily trust a couple of them who he knew had been involved in that. But still.]

Did you learn anything?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Mostly that they can take over humans when they all come together that way.

I wasn't there to learn.

[[He was there to take his anger out on a target that deserved it.]]

[Text]

[professorwolf]

That doesn't mean you can't learn anyway. You can learn from anything, no matter what you are feeling.

[This may kind of be Lyall's motto, even if he doesn't always articulate it.]

You are all right, I hope?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah. I'm tougher than I look, don't worry.

[Text]

[professorwolf]

I will worry no matter how tough you are. It's my job.

[Sort of. Maybe not necessarily in this capacity. But still, the sentiment is there.]

Just be careful.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

I will be. [[He'll try, anyway.]]

Thanks.
