Mairianne, sighing slightly, and gathering a little courage herself, reached for Kyle's hand, gently pulling him after her as they walked to the schedule table. It wasn't a hug, but it'd have to do. She had noticed Kyle's bit of bravery. His improvement made her happy, even though she was a bit less outgoing and a tad fearful around him now. She was glad she'd been able to take his hand just fine.

Ace didn't notice the creatures moving, purposely staring at the roof of the car so he wouldn't be focused on what was happening outside. Several times, he was tempted to look and see what was going on, but he was able to resist his curiosity. "How are we going to get Lily safely out of the boundary?" he asked, wondering if he would be needed, although he figured he probably wouldn't.

Kyle was surprised when Mairianne held his hand, but, enjoying it, he didn't say anything to her about it. He had no problem getting his schedule, looking over his classes. He couldn't help but get excited for a few of them, mainly the art classes. "What do you have?" he asked the griffin, smiling. He hoped they shared most of their classes together, just so he could have a friend and wouldn't have to talk to strangers by himself.

Mairianne turned to stand beside him and look slightly over his shoulder at his schedule. "We have the magic classes together. And English." She smiled lightly, happy about having him in those three classes. Then she sighed, releasing a small unhappy chirp, "I would have preferred more though." She blushed, realizing that had come out completely naturally. Goodness though. If he had never told her he liked her, she could have said that just fine without it meaning anything really, probably even laughed it off.

Henry sighed, "I'm still debating that. I was thinking about flying in, but Lily's barrier might reject me. We could cut down enough for her to suck the energy from the rest. Or I could use whatever energy she collects on a super expensive, trivial spell. That last one is safest, though I would still have to have her permission to use the energy." Henry's tone was mostly business again as he weighed the possibilities. His team seemed to evaluate his suggestions as well, though they didn't seem all too sold on any of the ideas. "Too many loopholes," Henry commented, after glancing to the driver.

Kyle didn't think much of her comment until she blushed. Did she really like him that much that she wanted to have more classes with him? He couldn't stop a smile from appearing on his face, hoping Mairianne wouldn't realize the true cause of it. "Yeah, m-m-maybe Ace and L-Lily will b-b-be in our other cl-classes," he stuttered. He tried to ignore her blush, attempting to convince himself that it meant nothing. He was taking this whole "like" thing too seriously.

"I know my opinion doesn't count for much here but I vote for the safest option," Ace said as he looked over in Henry's direction. His eyes widened when he noticed one of the monsters that had been on the ground was slowly standing up, towering over Lily's car. He gripped the back of Henry's chair tightly, barely able to keep himself calm. "Can we hurry up and figure something out? She could come out of the house at any minute and..." he shivered, closing his eyes tightly to get rid of the gruesome image that had filled his mind. The worry he had worked so hard on to suppress was creeping back, fueling his thoughts of Lily getting hurt if they didn't do something soon.

Henry sighed. "Safest for Lily may not be the safest for us." Henry idly watched the monster rise, swaying, not at all impressed by the beast. Ace was such a kid. He had never known true fear in his life. But he wasn't likely to stop freaking out, so Henry weighed his options; deciding upon something that might make him feel better, in the long run at least, then unlocked his car door. The driver looked to him in alarm, but Henry just got out of the car. He leaned back in. "Gerald, don't let this newbie leave the car." The driver merely nodded.
Henry shut the door behind him, walking into the middle of the street. Cracking his neck, Henry let himself shift, all three-hundred pounds of wrongness that he was. Ace should know fear a bit better after this. When Henry's spines shot out of his skin, he knew he had changed fully. He stretched out, shaking his mangled fur and tattered wings. Most of his 'ugliness' was from fights and scars, not originally part of him, but he didn't mind. He was never meant to be pretty.
"Gerald, should we stop him? Or help?" The guard next to Ace asked somewhat urgently, avoiding looking at the monster outside.
The driver, Gerald, slowly shook his head, eyes wide with fear as he looked at Henry out the window. With difficulty, he looked away, shivering once. "No, just let him. We'd only get in his way when he's in his true form."
Henry roared at the monsters outside Lily's house, a screech only animals could hear. The minotaur that had just rose bellowed in return, marking this as his prey, but his challenge was pitiful. He was already scared. Other creatures picked up the chorus, claiming dominion, but Henry only laughed. He strode forward on his claws, strong and proud, making some of the smaller creatures whimper. He saw Lily peek out the window and knew she was ready to go back. Guess it was his turn to challenge. This was going to be a piece of cake. He might even enjoy it.

"I hope so." Mairianne said with some desperation in her voice. She would need her roommate with her in at least one class. Mairianne cleared her throat, somewhat embarrassed at voicing her sentiments. "Well, I don't have my first few classes with you, so..." This is goodbye for now. She didn't say that though. They had dropped holding hands when they reached the table so Mairianne clasped her hands in front of her, glancing between the ground and Kyle's eyes, grounding the toe of her shoe into the pavement a bit out of nervousness.

At first, Ace was about to jump out of the car and go fight the monsters, despite if he was told to stay put or not, but all thoughts of helping vanished from his mind when he saw Henry's true form. His face went pale and his eyes wide, paralyzed from fear. His heart pounded in his chest as he trembled. He couldn't form any coherent thoughts, only focused on the terror that he felt through his entire body. He had never been this scared in his whole entire life, even when h he had been at death's door yesterday. That had been confusion, fear, and sadness but this...this was pure terror. It was as if fear had taken on a form and was spreading its essence into everything around it.
After what seemed like forever, Ace finally was able to look away. His breathing was heavy and his body was still shaking. His brain was still a mess of jumbled up thoughts as he find the door handle and pushed the door open. His thought from earlier to help Lily collided with his current feeling of needing to run away from Henry. Still petrified, he fell out of the car, laying on his side as he tried to understand what he was supposed to do. He was out, now what? Was he supposed to run towards the thing that was making him scared or run away? The answer was obviously the last one, but a small part of him wanted him to help the creature and fight the monsters. However, that part was so small, and was easily drowned out by his fear. He tried to stand up, needing to run away, but he couldn't move, once again paralyzed.
