Snippet #2745277

Virgil used his god given gifts and stealthed in the hallway. He overheard the conversation and cringed as the boy fell over. Well, isn't that something? The boy fell flat on his face right in front of him, but he remained hidden in the shadows and looked on at the commotion. From what he could gather, he just witnessed the Demon King Aeryn being challenged to a duel. Unfortunately for Virgil, the duel had been cut short by some outspoken girl and her cronies. It looked like the fun had been cut short, but then this other boy appeared at his feet. He didn't know what was odder. The fact that he had witnessed Aeryn Jace attempt to duel on school property, or the fact that this stranger was now at his feet.

He blinked at the boy and made the quiet motion with his index finger to his lips. Virgl thought he heard voices and footsteps, so he pulled Rio up by the arm and brought him into the shadows. If he was smart, he wouldn't move. Virgil noticed the bruises, scraps and abrasions left from the fall. He had basic bandages, but they'd work for the time being until he could take Rio to the school nurse.

"Who's after you? Are you ok?" Virgil whispered and kept a sharp eye for any sudden movements. If the boy was being bullied, they'd regret running into Virgil. Once a few bandages were placed over the superficial wounds, he instructed Rio to remain quiet, until the coast was clear. Part of him was excited from the recent adventure with this stranger and another side of him wanted to leap for joy from seeing Aeryn Jace in person.

Once the coast was clear, they could begin to make the trek to the infirmary, but he wondered what type of story the boy would tell the nurse. Virgil wished that he could do more than simple bandages, but his healing wasn't up to par like he had hoped.
