"You will explain what just happened later." Xelqua hissed quietly to the professor as he picked up the unconscious first-year. His aura was still hostile, causing the professor to shrink back before nodding. It was clear to the professor that the avian's disdain for unwilling binding was strong due to his own in the past.

The professor opened the door for Xelqua, who would bring Krishna to the infirmary, her mask off and in his hand. She seemed alright. Cold and clammy but breathing normally. Xelqua only walked in silence until he got to the infirmary. It took a moment until the other's effects of their magic started to fully affect him. Halfway to the infirmary he felt sick, dizzy and weak.

He didn't expect Calypso, who had just left her class, to grab the mask and have him help him carry Krishna. "╎ ⍑ᒷᔑ∷↸ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑ!¡!¡ᒷリᒷ↸. ᒷᔑᓵ⍑ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ⍑ᔑᓭ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ╎∷ ꖎ╎ᒲ╎ℸ ̣ , ∷ᒷᒲᒷᒲʖᒷ∷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣...̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ." She muttered. Xelqua shifted his mask to the side of his head and sighed giving a slow nod, and allowed her help to the infirmary.

Calypso asked what he did to help Krishna and he actually told her the process. When they got to the infirmary, Calypso opened the door and called out asking for two cots.

"∴⍑|| ᔑ∷ᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ᔑᓭꖌ╎リ⊣ ⎓𝙹∷ ℸ ̣ ∴𝙹?" Xelqua asked quietly arching a brow as the nurse motioned them over to one. They set Krishna down slowly as Calypso said, "⎓𝙹∷ ||𝙹⚍. ||𝙹⚍ ᒲᔑ|| ʖᒷ ᔑ !¡𝙹∴ᒷ∷⎓⚍ꖎ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷, ʖ⚍ℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷリ'ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑ↸ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ↸ᒷᔑꖎ ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ᒲ⚍ᓵ⍑ ᒲᔑ⊣╎ᓵ ⎓𝙹∷ ||ᒷᔑ∷ᓭ. ||𝙹⚍ ꖎ𝙹𝙹ꖌ ᔑᓭ ℸ ̣ ⍑𝙹⚍⊣⍑ ||𝙹⚍∷ ᔑʖ𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᓵ𝙹ꖎꖎᔑ!¡ᓭᒷ ||𝙹⚍∷ᓭᒷꖎ⎓."

Xelqua blinked for a moment as she laid Krishna's mask on the side table. She chuckled at him and grabbed his hand putting it in front of his face. "||𝙹⚍∷ ᓭ⍑ᔑꖌ╎リ⊣. ||𝙹⚍ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ʖᒷᒷリ ᓭ╎リᓵᒷ ╎ ᓭᔑ∴ ||𝙹⚍ ᔑリ↸ ||𝙹⚍∷ ᒷ||ᒷᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ ⎓ꖎ╎ᓵꖌᒷ∷╎リ⊣ ᒲᒷᔑリ╎リ⊣ ||𝙹⚍∷ ʖ𝙹↸|| ℸ ̣ ∷||╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ⎓╎ꖎℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ 𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ ᒲᔑ⊣╎ᓵ ⎓∷𝙹ᒲ ||𝙹⚍∷ 𝙹∴リ. ↸⚍ᒲᒲ||." She patronised him and pushed him to sit on another cot.

The nurse returned after getting a cold rag to place on Krishna's forehead and nodded. "ᓵᔑꖎ||!¡ᓭ𝙹 ╎ᓭ ∷╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣ , ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ. ⋮⚍ᓭℸ ̣ ꖎᔑ|| ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ⎓𝙹∷ ᔑ ⎓ᒷ∴ ⍑𝙹⚍∷ᓭ ᔑリ↸ ∷ᒷꖎᔑ ̇/. ╎⎓ ||𝙹⚍ ∴ᔑꖎꖌᒷ↸ ʖᔑᓵꖌ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᓵꖎᔑᓭᓭ∷𝙹𝙹ᒲ 𝙹∷ ||𝙹⚍∷ ∷𝙹𝙹ᒲ ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ᔑꖌ╎リ⊣ ᔑ ʖ∷ᒷᔑꖌ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ꖎᒷℸ ̣ ᒷ⍊ᒷ∷||ℸ ̣ ⍑╎リ⊣ ⎓╎ꖎℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷリ ╎ℸ ̣ ╎ᓭ ꖎ╎ꖌᒷꖎ|| ||𝙹⚍'ꖎꖎ !¡ᔑᓭᓭ 𝙹⚍ℸ ̣."

Xelqua sighed resting his mask on the table beside Krishna's. "𝙹ꖌᔑ|| 𝙹ꖌᔑ||." He ran his hands down his face and through his hair. Calypso nodded and put a hand on her shoulder.

"ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑリꖌ ||𝙹⚍ ⎓𝙹∷ ⍑ᒷꖎ!¡╎リ⊣ ⍑ᒷ∷"

He gave a small smile before thinking for a second. Once the nurse went back to the other side of the room he motioned her to lean closer and whispered in her ear.

"ᓭ!¡╎↸ᒷ∷ᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ ᒷ ̇/ᓵᒷꖎꖎᒷリℸ ̣ ∴ᒷᔑ⍊ᒷ∷ᓭ, ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ╎∷ ∴ᒷʖᓭ ᓵᔑリ ℸ ̣ ᒷꖎꖎ ᔑリᓵ╎ᒷリℸ ̣ ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹∷╎ᒷᓭ ᔑリ↸ ᓵᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ !¡∷ᒷ|| ╎リ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ╎∷ リᒷℸ ̣. ꖎ╎ᓭℸ ̣ ᒷリ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ∴ᔑ∷リ╎リ⊣ ᔑリ↸ ꖎᒷℸ ̣ 𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ᓭ ꖌリ𝙹∴." He only said this knowing that if he would not help her, others would be outside of the academy.
