Cyren Nielsen | Hellhound
His words were soft, and kind while also touching on notes of firmness- making the hellhound smile, if nothing more than to herself. "If you say so." Her voice retain an air of playfulness, though not as sharp as it usually was in her words. She was... Mellowed. Calm. His earlier words still rang about her ears, making a delicate blush taint her cheekbones. He was there for her. Always. Just that promise alone made her almost... Giddy. Too soon they arrived at her door- his was close by. She didn't want to say goodnight but Cyren never did. Rather the two lingered together, neither quite ready to say goodnight though both knew they could not linger much longer. It was her who moved first, and leaning towards him much like she had the other night rested her cheek against his chest in an embrace. She didn't jump away as she had any other time they'd embraced- rather stayed there for a solid minute; listening to his breaths fill and leave his lungs, memorizing the way his heartbeat in her ears.
Cyren had no idea if things would pan out between them. But as Finn's arms slid around her, holding the little hellhound against him Cyren liked to think it would. "The same goes for me by the way." She murmured, taking a step back and making sure to keep her voice low. "I'm always around if you need to talk or something. And Finn? You're making my last year here better than expected." She mimicked his earlier sentiments back, a smile gracing her lips. Sure they weren't really dating, but they weren't quite just friends anymore either. And while it was a little bit of a strange place for the very black and white hellhound to be, she was simply elated that things were sorted out between them. "G'night. See you tomorrow- try not to miss me too much." It's whispered, and rather cheeky as Cyren turns letting herself back into the temporary room. God, the brunette felt like a lovestruck calf, mooning over their first crush. But... That's kind of how it was. Cyren wasn't one to get attached to anyone- especially those of the opposite sex. Hell they only person that Cyren could of been concerned with for years was Marlee- and to an extent Daniel. Crushes and love were just another way to get hurt.
To have people leave you. So she had never really felt a tug of attachment to many people. Finn challenged many of the walls that Cyren had put up since she was a child to protect herself from the world. And... And the brunette thought that perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing. Her lips still remained in a subtle smile as she shucked off her clothing, allowing them to crumple in a heap on her floor. If nothing else, English was going to be interesting tomorrow. In high spirits the hellhound crawled into her bed, wrestling with the blankets for a few minutes before she got enough wrapped around her to feel warm. Still she squirmed for a few more minutes, though stilled when she found the perfect spot for her head upon her pillow. With a contented sigh, Cyren closed her eyes relaxing her body and soon enough, sleep found the hellhound- luring her off into a deep slumber for the remainder of the night. Her soft breaths were the only thing that filled the room, until the caterwauling of her alarm broke the peace. It roused the brunette from her slumber, in a fleeting state of disorientation. Though once Cyren rubbed the sleep from her wide eyes, she groggily switched the alarm off and began getting ready.
She went through her morning routine rather effectively, and for once she was early leaving her room. The hallway was pretty empty, leaving Cyren to her thoughts. Which mostly lingered on last nights events. Thankfully there was no one around to witness the hellhounds foolish grin as she made her way to the main hall. The brunette wasn't hungry, nor was she ready to disclose what had happened last night to Marlee, and the fae would end up guessing for sure if she caught her friend grinning like a moron in the morning. So she went to the one place that she could think of, Finn's classroom. Her steps were jaunty as Cyren headed in that direction, noting that very few students were about. They must all be in the dining hall, or sleeping. By the time that 'Ren had made it to Finn's classroom the room was empty though the lights were on and the door unlocked. Shrugging, she let herself in, taking her normal seat and pulling out the book that Finn had assigned to them. She had mostly taken notes, but had the last few pages assigned to finish before class started. It wouldn't be a lot of work, and the hellhound knew she could have this done by the time class started.

Daniel Roberts | Vampire
Dan didn't want to worry Marlee, so he simply smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you're all safe here." He agreed, statement riddled with a forced cheerfulness. He was worrying about nothing. No one had been stupid enough to launch an attack at the school before- they wouldn't be now. Sure, the Rebellion was growing in numbers and strength and the Community was having a harder and harder time staving them off- but the school wasn't involved. These kids were everyone's future. No, the Rebellion would have to be stupid to go after them here. And if they were that stupid, there were plenty of defense lines put in place. Him, and every other professor would be willing to throw down their lives to protect the student's. Dan just prayed it didn't come to that. There would be no battles and the students wouldn't be dragged into this stupid fucking rebellion. But he didn't want to think about that. Rather he wanted to be focusing on the here and now. Who knew how long he would have with the fae curled up in his arms. And Dan was going to cherish every moment.
“It’s fine. I feel the same way about them as you do, but we can’t do anything about them. And you’re my old fool,” Dan grins at this a chuckle working it's way out of his chest. "Your's huh?" He asks amused. "I'm okay with that. I guess I'm yours." He agrees. “Just don’t let Cyren know about this. She’ll volunteer to help you two out and that’s the last thing I want to happen, but thank you.” She asks, regarding the Hamish matter and Dan actually snorts at this. He could only imagine Cyren figuring out about his and Finn's pact to keep an eye on Hamish. The last time the wolf had stepped out of line she'd choked him out and slammed him against a wall. Sometimes it was easy to forget the kind of power her little body held. "If Cyren found out, I think she'd very well may neuter him. And since I doubt the Headmaster would take kindly to that- she'll be kept in the dark. Long as Finn doesn't say anything to her. Which I doubt he will." Dan promised, rambling a bit. He almost wanted to ask Cyren what her impression of Finn was, though refrained. It wasn't really his business when it came to those two.
He'd barely gotten the statement out when Marlee leaned forward, their lips meeting abruptly. Dan's response was automatic. He shifted, so he could better gain access to her lips. Gods know he wanted more. Dan wanted to commit every inch of her skin to the memory of his fingers. He wanted to touch and feel, wanted to be entwined and close as he possibly could to her. But he honestly didn't know much about her dating history. Was he her first? Or had there been someone else? Dan knew she dated Hamish at one point, didn't know how far they had gone. And moreover, he wanted them to know each other better before delving into anything more intimate then the make out they were currently engaged in. It was an effort to keep his fangs retreated into his gums, so they wouldn't break her skin as he carefully took care not to kiss to roughly. It would be difficult for him if she ended up bleeding. Just the tiniest drop would be hard to pull away from. When they were both panting and out of breath he pulled away, tugging the blonde against his chest while he absentmindedly traced patterns on her hips with his fingers. It was getting late. He'd need to go soon but the vampire wanted to stay with her.
He disliked going back to his own cold, empty bed. But it had to be done. Besides, if he stayed here any longer, there would be temptation to take the relationship to places it wasn't quite ready to go. "I need to get going Sugar." Dan informs regretfully before he gives in and sleeps in her room for the night. Carefully untangling their bodies he gets to his feet, running anxious fingers through his hair. "Sleep well. I'll see you in class. If you need something, or the potions aren't working come find me okay?" He moves towards the door though at blurring speeds doubles back- planting a firm kiss to her lips one last time, his hand tilting her chin up towards him before Daniel once again breaks away, and with that heads out of her room carefully and quickly heading back to his own. He has plenty of work to do before he can fall asleep, and he starts off with putting a load of his teaching clothing in the wash so he'll at least have something to wear.
From there he goes over a few lesson plans, and when it's ready transitions the wet clothes to the dryer. Never far from his mind is Marlee. By the time he finishes the work that night and to the time his head hits the pillow. He's stopped asking himself if what he was doing was right. Because he had seen how that affected Finn. And at the end of the day- Daniel couldn't ignore deny or otherwise scorn his heart for who it desired. He would rather be with someone he loved than be alone- above all other things. The next morning was busy for Dan. He'd woken up early and had gone about his routine. Shaving his face back to it's normal clean shaven state, showering dressing- all that good stuff. When he was confident he looked more like his professional self he headed downstairs and rather than go to the dining hall, only stopped by to grab a blood pack and then head to his room. He wanted to be early, go over a few things and take some quiet time before he had to deal with rowdy seniors for the rest of the day.
His words were soft, and kind while also touching on notes of firmness- making the hellhound smile, if nothing more than to herself. "If you say so." Her voice retain an air of playfulness, though not as sharp as it usually was in her words. She was... Mellowed. Calm.
