"Animus sounds cool!" Lilac had exclaimed with a small squeak. Starflight responded with a shrug, "Well, if an animus uses their powers too much, they'll lose their soul."

The small gryphon bright gaze had dropped into concern, ". . .oh."

Glory had a quick laugh to that, "Oh, you don't to worry for it though. It's not that much of our problem."

Sunny, who had taken to Audio's side, had yawned, ". . .what time is it?"

"It was getting dark when we were coming back," the MimicWing responded, "Now that I think of it. . .I'm tired."

Glory had nodded in agreement, a deep, deep blue taking hold of her scales, ". . .yeah. I'm going to sleep in the corner back there." She had pointed to a diorite filled area, which actually had a whole in the wall, basically a stone bed. Although it's comfort didn't look great, it certainly was a nice looking spot to lay.

Starflight had nodded, "I guess I'll take right here. . ." he said as he simply lay where he stood.

Everyone had dispersed into their own areas, Audio taking the corner across from his RainWing friend, and Sunny and Lilac went infront of him from about five feet. Clay went next to Glory, about three feet to the side of the hole in the wall.

It had grown quiet between the group quite quickly, and Audio was likely one of the first to fall asleep.

Audio had woken up to hear rapid breathing across from him. He opened his eyes to see darkness, and Sunny sitting up, a bit away from Lilac.

Is she okay? . .wait- she's hyperventilating- uh oh.

The grey dragonet had quickly gotten up and went to her side, in which he believe he had startled her, as she jumped from contact to the shoulder.

"Aud- I don-," she had tried to pronounce words, but, it didn't seem to work out. She must've been having a panic attack, or had somesort of awful nightmare. "Get some water over here," he whispered to her as he straightened her up a bit, and moved her to the small water pocket in the den, in which he had noticed a later time.

Sunny had taken a few sips of water, in which the hyperventilating had died down a bit, but, she still looked quite panicked.

"A-are you alright?" he had whispered to her, concern a quite oblivious edge within his voice.

"I-I. . .don't k-know what hap-ppened. . ." she gasped as she now started to wheeze a bit. Her eyes had looked up to him, in which he glanced at the lovely grey-green eye she had and the scarred, clouded one he caused, ". . .t-thank you." A warm feeling filled Audio as he heard that.

"Of course, Sunny," he whispered back, ". . .do you know why that even happened?" he had asked her as he slowly took her back to where Lilac layed.

"I-I don't think so. . ." she said, her slightly trembling as she slowly layed down, putting a wing over Lilac.

Audio has nodded, a sigh escaped him as he layed back in his corner, "Goodnight, Sunny."

"Goodnight."

The MimicWing had awoken to see faint light shine through a few cracks in the stone roof. He had slowly gotten up, he rubbed his eyes to see Glory up aswell. He noticed a fading salmon as she had approached him quietly, "What you did for Sunny was quite kind of you, Audio."

Audio had nodded and scratched the back of his head, "I guess. . .she just had a panic attack, I think."

Glory's expression changed into a more serious tone, ". . .it's not the first time."

The MimicWing had tilted his head at this, Wait, what?

The aqua dragonet sighed, "She's woken up like this in the cave with Webs and Kestrel and everybody. . .trembling, hyperventilating, even sweating."

Wait a minute. . .those are all symptoms for. . .anxiety?

"Um, Glory, isn't that anxiety?" Audio had asked his thought, worry accompanying him on his question. He received the feared response, "Unfortunately, yes. . .someone had to do something to her to cause this."

The MimicWing had glanced at Sunny, who was hold Lilac to her as she trembled every other minute or so, ". . .did I do something?"

"No, no, no," Glory reassured, "No, you didn't Audio. . .one of those damn 'caretakers' likely did. . .oh, if it was any of them. . .".

She used a swear right. . .and naturally. Audio sighed as he sat against the wall, ". . .I feel sorry for her."

He heard Glory mumble something, "Not only that. . ." was all he heard. "What was that?" he asked in a whisper.

"Huh? Oh, nothing, just thinking to myself."

The morning had gone by slowly, yet, the dragonets woke quickly. All of them woke earlier enough to still see the purpleness of the sunrise skies.

Sunny had glanced at him warmly, with either a nervous or embarrassed smile on her face, which had made Audio disquiet at the thought that the SandWing could've been burdened, or shameful of her possible disorder.

The door behind them had opened as Mollusk had poked his head, "Good morning, folks. Um, y-you have a visitor." He opened the door thurther, and walked in a particular SeaWing.

"Tsunami!" Clay had said as the princess approached them.

"Hey, guys! How's it been?"

"Well, I guess our first day was alright," Starflight said. Lilac had nodded as she walked up and hugged the SeaWing, "I missed you!" she chirped.

Tsunami let out a few quiet laughs as she hugged the Gryphon back, "Me too, Lilac." Sunny had happily looked at the young dragonet as she looked up to Tsunami, ". . .so, how was it?"

"It's certainly large, I'll say for sure," she responded. "Not only do I have a sister, but, like, thirty brothers or something. . .maybe a hundred, who knows? The sister, Anemone isn't too bad. Riptide is pretty nice, and now I have a 'teacher' named Whirlpool for aquatic which I think is AWFUL!"

Audio had nodded as she kept on going, thinking about Turtle when she mentioned the thirty brothers, I hope he does alright before making it to the academy.

Though, his thoughts kept on going back to Sunny, not only did he want her to be alrighty, but, he wanted to be there for her and help her out. . .if that would even be possible.

He just hoped that plan would happen, as she would need as much emotional support she could get.
