<strong>Isoke Naota<br/>Dorm B Hallway<br/>Tagged: Anya, Zitka, Tyson, &amp; Tina</strong><br/><br/>Isoke still hadn't come entirely to his senses when he noticed a brilliant orange light erupt from his peripheries.  He barely had time to register the presence of her clawed hand before she savagely gripped the innocent kitsune by the back of the neck and hauled her from his arms.<strong>"No, wait!"</strong>Reaching out in protest he tried to prevent Anya from harming Zitka, but his gesture was in vein as he watched in horror as his effort to protect the kitsune only delayed matters by a few seconds.  The sound of her impact with the wall made him wince in empathy before a snarl spread across his lips.<strong>"Why did you do that, Anya?!"</strong>Isoke's voice was outraged at what he had just witnessed and pulled himself drunkenly to his feet.  The point of his own sacrifice entirely negated by his lover's rage.    The impact with the wall had rung his bell pretty good and though he didn't think he had a concussion his balance was still reeling.<strong>"This wasn't her fault."</strong><br/><br/>As he took a few steps out of Anya's protective barrier towards the fallen girl, his balance became slightly more steady.  Isoke had to at least check to make sure she didn't break her neck or crack her skull.  Should Anya try to follow him with the protective flames, he would tell her to stop so she didn't immolate the unfortunate kitsune.  He couldn't see any obvious signs of lasting damage, but head injuries weren't to be taken lightly.<strong>"Shit.  She's out cold.  We need to take her to the infirmary."</strong>Isoke cast a glance over his shoulder towards Anya, his expression one of disappointment.  A resigned sigh escaped his lips, understanding that it was part of the harpy's possessive nature but it did little to remove the distaste in his mouth.  Not to mention that there was likely a guy still in the room with the homicidal Tina.  It wasn't too late for Anya to atone for actions in his mind and Isoke approached her in a few quick strides grabbing her taloned hand and meeting her gaze directly.<br/><br/><strong>"Listen, I am not happy about what you did, but you can at least try to make amends by helping me out.  If you're so eager to keep me protected, I'll give you the chance.  I'm willing to guess there is a guy in that room who isn't in much better shape than the girl.  I'm going to go in there so that we can take the both of them to the infirmary and in doing so there is a good chance the girl in there is going to attack me.  Help me ensure the safety of these two and we'll talk more about bonding."</strong>Without hesitating to give Anya a chance to question him, Isoke turned to the room, flipped on the lights, completely ignored Tina's presence, and made his way toward Tyson with a confident gate that bordered on arrogance.  He found himself hoping that he hadn't just made a horrible miscalculation of how intently Anya would protect her cohort.
