"Maybe a little." Chase smirked, his eyes gleaming just enough to give away the tease. "You've got to keep busy somehow." He couldn't sit in a room studying all day, but he couldn't see Dru people-watching in the corridors.

Dru smiled, "So what do you do all day?" He didn't strike her as the type to stay in class more than was absolutely necessary. "Other than get in fights," she added, glancing over his face again, grinning.

"Yeah, laugh it up," Chase said, unamused by that last comment. He shrugged lightly at her first question. "If there's anything going on in class I'll check it out, otherwise I just hang out. It's better than sitting in the back of the class trying not to fall asleep." Which was what tended to happen if he went any more than it took to get a C.

To Dru just hanging out all day didn't sound very appealing, there were very few people she could enjoy spending so much time with. Sounded kind of boring to her. "Does your jaw and things feel any better?" she asked, the potion and lotion should have started working pretty quickly.

Chase's lips curved into a grin. "What things do you want to know about?" He arched an eyebrow, as though she'd blatantly asked to renew their earlier conversation. Not that it had been in his mind the entire time, but it was always nearby.

Dru rolled her eyes but couldn't help but to match his grin, "Nothing in particular, just give me the run-down," she said, leaning forward, elbows on her knees. She wouldn't deny him the ability to talk about whatever he wanted, she'd just have to make sure and keep him from actually trying anything.

"In that case, I'm fine," Chase said. He brought his hand to his mouth again just to be sure, but decided that it was just a sting, nothing major. As far as he was concerned, a little discomfort was easily ignored. "You're going to make me wait anyway, aren't you?" He was hopeful, not stupid.

"If you think you're getting anything, you're wrong, I don't want to risk you hurting something worse. And I wanted you to stay just in case he was still out there, just so you know." She didn't want him thinking that she was just being stupid or that she was scared he couldn't make it to the dorm rooms by himself.

"What, you think he can take me?" Chase let out a huff of indignation. "I kicked his ass once, I'll do it again if I have to, which I won't 'cause I'll just hex him to death instead." Chase stood, firmly ignoring his protesting muscles. "This guy only gets away with sh-- because everyone lets him." Right now, the bastard could be out there doing God knew what, and he was sitting in the hospital because his girlfriend didn't want him to fight.

"Look at you, do you really think you're in any condition to fight him again?" Dru asked, standing up with him. "I don't care if you fight him again." Ok, so that was a little lie, but still. "I just don't want you going out there today or tomorrow and getting hurt." She looked into his eyes, needing him to understand.

"He won't get past me again. I'm too good with a wand for that to happen." Yes, maybe it had been a little impulsive physically attacking the guy, but he felt much better for it, if you ignored the bruising. "We wouldn't even be having this talk if one of the girls he's brainwashed hadn't cut in. Don't worry about me."

"I'll worry anyway, it's useless to tell me not to." It was true, until Emilian was gone she would worry about Chase. "If I see you fighting him, I won't stop you, but you can guarantee I'd be a nervous wreck until you walked away safe."

Chase lowered his voice ominously. "It won't be a fight next time." Fight implied that both opponents had at least a chance. Chase did not intend to give Emilian that chance. This was about a hell of a lot more than his status as alpha male, and Chase was more than willing to let everyone underestimate him.

"Oh really, and what are you going to do? Sneak up behind him and stun him? Use an Unforgivable?" The idea of him even getting into another fight with the guy scared her and she was almost certain that it showed in her eyes.

Chase's silence was his reply. Other than the sneaking part, that was pretty much what he had in mind. "Would you rather have me just ignore him like everyone else?" If Dru stuck up for Emilian, Chase swore he'd go hunt the bastard down right now.
