Such insults had damaged Geir's self-esteem. It was enough to make him cry. However, he saw that Juniper had been defending him from a couple of bullies, especially Ajax, from being pushed around. Even Razeth find this situation more tormenting. She joined in by landing on the ground and snarled at the bullies, whom they backed away from the group. This whole assignment had come to a complete halt when the bullying problem occurred during class. Razeth snorted aggressively before protecting her master.<br/><br/>"I knew they would not accept me..." Geir looked at the ground, feeling in a state of despair, "I don't think I belong here." As long as Razeth stayed with Geir, protecting him from those who called him names, Geir would be protected from physical abuse. All he wanted was to be accepted by the group who would treat him like their own.
