Rajin went through very basic first aid. He wasn't as banged up as Krynn. A few bruises here and there. Doctors and nurses assumed he had been involved in a fight. A few simple bandages here and there and that was it. Rajin pretty healthy. In his hospital bed, the ifrit dreamed and snoozed for long as he pleased. Dreams of of better times...and of course of one dream that woke the ifrit right up. It was of Krynn of all people. He and the lamia were being rather intimate. Sitting together provocatively in a room that Rajin remembered to what was know as a couple's chamber. It was a really well decorated room with soft colors and tapestries hanging from the wall. It was right in the middle of the dream when both the ifrit and lamia's lips were about to meet that Rajin woke up from his dream. The ifrit was propped up on his arms with his eyes wide open. "Where am I?" He said aloud. The dream was still fresh in his mind.

The ifrit turned his head the voice spoke. It was Krynn. She was eating food. Good. the more food she had in her , the less he had to hear from her. However, the ifrit's cheek were a bit flushed when he looked at the girl. Perhaps it was his imagination, but her eye were really round. Rajin sighed and lied back down. "Just a dream." He said softly. Nothing importantly. The ifrit reassured himself that it meant nothing. Dreams were just a concoction of stress and leftover thoughts in the brain. They meant nothing. He felt nothing for the lamia in the bed over to him eating noodles. He had no attraction to girl. He didn't want to push her against a wall and make out while slowly....wait. What? Rajin's eyes widened to their fullest extent as his entire face went red. The ifrit pulled his pillow out from under him and put it over his face. What on earth was he thinking?! After wrestling with his pillow, the ifrit seemed to calm down. His face was still rather red. Had he really just been fantasizing about Krynn? Rajin turned his back to the lamia and folded his arms. "I only saved you because you reminded me of someone." He muttered out of the corner of his mouth.

Rajin sighed. He refused to around and show himself to Krynn, who he could hear shifting around. "Alayi. It was the name of the pet boa constrictor I had when I was a child. You...you remind me of her." Rajin's tone wasn't hostile, but, it was a bit emotional. A mix of haughtiness and sorrow. Alayi was indeed a pet that Rajin once had, as he went on to explain. "She was given to me by my parents when I was still growing. neither of them had time for me when I was little because they always busy with their money and that stupid company. Alayi was the only one I had. She made me strong. Even though when I small, she made attempts to crush me between her long and powerful body, I was already strong enough to resist. Eventually, Alayi saw me as the alpha male and she became docile towards me." The bittersweet memory seemed to have an effect on the boy. His voice seemed to become more sincere and open. He was vulnerable. The ifrit was actually opening up. "Growing up, she was my only friend. Then one day, my parent took her away and sold her. I don't know what happened to Alayi from that day on" Rajin began to curl up into a ball, still facing away from Krynn. He didn't want his rival to see him in such a weak state. "There. Go ahead and laugh." The ifrit waiting for the stinging sound of laughter. Someone like Krynn had to laugh at his pathetic sad story.

While it wasn't meant to be offensive or sting, Rajin still furrowed his brow in irritation. The ifrit still kept his back to the lamia. It wasn't fair that even after all he had done for her in the past day, she was still the high-and-mighty princess she thought she was. Looking down on others when she saw fit. Rajin pulled himself back however. Looking back on it, her laugh was more of a giggle. Not meant to be taken seriously. In return, Krynn opened up a little too. It wasn't much. Heck it even sounded like a joke. She said she had always wanted to meet a genie. Well now she had. Rajin was quiet for a moment before turning over and sitting up. "Hey." He said. "I wanna know something." As per usual, ifrit didn't care about permission. "Who was that snake guy from the day. The one with gaudy trident. It was like you knew him and he knew you." Rajin's facial expression was suppose to be inquisitive, but came off as more stern looking. He didn't mean for this to happen, but it did.

Just when Rajin was finally getting some long awaited answers, Krynn was starting to falling asleep. The ifrit hopped out of his bed and went to the lamia's side. "Hey, don't fall asleep on me. I'm just now getting answers. Who exactly are they? Why do they want to marry you?" By this point, Rajin had his hands on either side of Krynn's head. "Tell me! If I don't get my answers from you I'll have to get them elsewhere. And I don not want to use that source." Why did this hospital have to give the Lamia such strong pain killers. For that matter, why was she weak to it? Couldn't she have been stronger and resist it? Damn it all.

While he didn't mean to scare her, Rajin's intimidating personality seemed to do just that. the ifrit released the lamia when she sat up. She was awfully upset. Rajin took a small step back when Krynn began to answer his questions and at the same time vent frustration. Perhaps this was her being vulnerable. It sure seemed like it. The other lamai that the two of them met in the dungeon was some other class. According to Krynn, he was one of some many brothers who wanted to get with her and marry into the family riches. It was at that point Rajin was really wishing he had a notepad or something. Instead, the ifrit sat down on the edge of Krynn's bedside. He was mulling over the current information and data. Rajin was hunched over, thinking hard. He wasn't paying attention to Krynn anymore, so he didn't hear her shun him away when asked why he even cared. If he wanted to, he could answer by saying it was his job, but that wasn't going to do much. "Another family of lamias that want to marry into the Zmeya family, but were rejected. Now they want revenge. But, if they really wanted revenge, they would probably be a bit more direct. It doesn't make sense." Rajin had a look of deep concentration on him as he voiced his thoughts. "Why kidnap other students from the school when the goal is likely revenge which is based on one person?" Rajin then looked to Krynn. She was still sulking and keeping to herself. Whether he liked it or not, Rajin was going to need her help to solve this cold vendetta. Believe it or not, he also felt somewhat sorry for her. The ifrit knew a thing or two about arranged marriages. his parent had already given him a deadline to find someone on his own.

Rajin was now paying more attention to Krynn. she was being as haughty as ever. It was entertaining the first few times around, but the tough girl act was getting old. This tsundere attitude wasn't helping Rajin with his problems. Then she spoke of something else. Wouldn't let go? Let go of what? Rajin wondered. He looked to a small table next to Krynn. Lying on top of it was a burnt scrap of cloth. Rajin seemed to recognize it as part of his uniform. His suspicion were confirmed when the lamia told him it was his. rajin was taken back slightly. Why had she been holding onto a small scrap of his clothing? The ifrit was starting to speculate that Krynn had some feelings for him. He doubted it though. She didn't like him. and if she did, well she was doing a bang up job of turn him away. The ifrit sat down on her beside once more, and began to run his neck. It was a bit sore. From what Rajin didn't know. Probably wrestling that minotaur. the ifrit groaned as he kept rubbing the spot. "I'll bet you don't know much about massaging, do you?" Rajin asked the injured lamia. It was almost as if if he was challenging her.
