Eri chuckled. He grabbed a towel, and wiped off his claw. "Why that would be correct...for a human. Zizscham and I are like bretheren however. We are Spurious. Humanity thinks we are nothing, unreal, an impossibility." He gave a quick fake sob. "What a shame they ignore our tragedies, and how awful that they won't help us find..." then looking at Zizzle, "the things we are looking for..."

Zizzle looked blankly back, feeling that feeling again and not understanding. Maybe it was the foggy feeling still left over from the impact. He flicked his ears. "Brethren?"

Saul blinks.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Eri. Care to elaborate?"

"I shouldn't expect you to know. Until today have you ever seen a unicorn? No? Or perhaps a dragon? Manticore? No, no, no. That would have been impossible! These things don't exist! They all went into hiding, and simply vanished. And now, steadily, they are upon the return. Zizscham. Your people are in danger are they not? You need to obtain devices to keep them afloat, correct? I can see it within you, my bretheren, my friend, my own kind. We may not look alike, but we are one and the same." Eri turned back to Saul. "I had expected to end the life of the persons within this room. Zizscham is far beyond any person...but you...." Eri's smile vanished into a fierce angry look, "you do not have the sense to fear, and so you might have to be eliminated."

Zizzle wanted his wings, he felt naked without them. Something occured to him as he listened to the situation with a growing troubled expression. How did this spiky one know his name? He slipped off the hospital bed, wobbling a little as his sense of balance struggled to catch up with his motions.

For a moment, Saul stumbles over his own words. Then, he notices Zizzle getting up.
"Is something wrong?"

"My wings are missing ..." Zizzle felt like a vital part of his body had been cut off.

"I tire of this chatter. Zizscham! You will come with me. We shall find the things you are looking for." Then he turned towards Saul with a wicked smile "And then maybe you can help me find what I am looking for.

(Saul) "Love to, Eri, but I have two reasons not to. First, you still don't seem trustworthy to me. And second, I have absolutely no clue what you're looking for."

Zizzle was taken aback, nobody had ever told him to do anything in that tone before. He had no idea how to respond to it. He backed off without thinking about it, bumping into the wall. His heart was still racing, his skin prickling. He didn't like how this new comer made him feel. "You'll help me?" he asked quietly.

Eri, facing Saul, raised both his hands in front of him. He stretched them in wiggles, looking like knives waving in the air. "Very well then. I will allow you the honor of dying in incompetence."

Realizing his situation, Saul takes a defensive stance.
"I am NOT incompetent! Are you asking for a kick in the gut?"

Zizzle found himself sliding for the window. It was a large one, with friendly bunnie stickers on it. He reached up for the latch, keeping his eyes on the trouble brewing. He'd stopped feeling prickly, now he was feeling sick and his legs were shaking.

The moment was rising, then a thought flooded him. He relaxed himself calmly, then turned towards Zizzle with a genuine look of saddened compassion. "My bretheren....you may want to cover your eyes..." Then he turned sharply towards Saul and swiped at his chest with a horizontal claw strike.

The swipe hits Saul squarely, injuring him badly.
Ugh! I finally get a chance to meet Sonic in person and now this happens... why, God? Why?
Saul collapses on the ground.
"So… nic…"

Zizzle could only stare, his eyes wide and his mouth opening. He didn't understand. He didn't understand this at all. Why was the spiky one damaging the racoon? Why? He seemed to know what he was doing? Why? He slapped his hands to his mouth, too shocked to even feel the contact. Why?!It was like something else kicked in suddenly, like an over-ride program had been activated in his brain. He found himself spinning and opening the window deftly, scrambling up, the tube ripping out of his arm in his haste.

"Hmm. Poor child." Eri wiped his claws again. "He'll desire to come at me again someday." Eri then turned to see Zizzle escaping. He dashed to the window and grabbed at him. "Don't be a fool Zizscham! You can either fall to your death or face what you fear! Be sensible and choose the latter!"

Zizzle gripped at the window frame, squeaking shrilly, like the over-ride had cancelled any ability to speak properly. He squirmed out of the other's grip, his natural agility making him pop out onto the sill. He got a good look at a huge drop before his nose and he flattened against the sill.

Saul is still alive, but he is too hurt to do anything.
That cheater! If I recover, I'll shove a knife down his throat the next time I see him!

"It's a long way down bretheren. Come back inside! I won't hurt you." Eri made a motion to grab at Zizzle again but he was out of reach. Eri sighed. Then he slipped out the window himself and crawled along the outer wall like a spider. He went above the window first, then right above Zizzle, and reached out a hand. "Take my hand bretheren, and this will all just be a bad dream."

A bad dream? Zizzle felt the over-ride slipping. Maybe it was all just a bad dream. That would explain why things that made no rational sense were happening. The unicorn still clung to the sill, then looked up. He just stared for a moment, not flinching from the other's eyes, seeking something in them, something he could relate to, something he could understand. He pressed against the outside of the window and started to stand, reaching for the outstretched hand.

((RP a nurse coming in and helping Saul, soniclover)) "Thats right...reach for me..." Eri grabbed Zizzle's hand (hoof?) as gently as he could, and lifted him up. He began climbing down to the ground below, and set Zizzle gently on the grass at the bottom. It wouldn't have been too nasty if Zizzle had fallen. Maybe a broken leg or two. But Eri needed the trust of the Unicorn, and thusly was as careful as possible. Then he swooped his cloak back into place concealing his claws. "Are you ok now bretheren?"

At around the same time, a nurse enters the room and notices Saul lying on the ground.
(Nurse) "My goodness! What happened here?"
Saul is too weak to respond, but the nurse inspects him and finds the claw damages.

Zizzle felt very much adrift and confused, he wrapped his arms around his chest and rubbed where the buckle of his pack should be. "N-need my wings."

With a glinting smile, Eri closed his eyes for a moment. He began searching Zizzle's thoughts for anything. Eri's nose began to run as he felt a vague image. "Are they...in the Mystic Ruins? And would you like me...to get them for you?" Eri grinned. Working outside of the unicorn's eyes, he was free to do as he pleased. It might make an interesting diversion.

Zizzle felt an overwhelming urge to cry and he had no idea why. He shook the impulse off, he'd been given an adult's responsibility, so there was no reason to act like a child. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. "O-Okay ..."
