"Will it take some of your soul? If it does, I'm good. It will heal over time." Riley says, unsure if he wanted Shade to be risking his soul.

theres just a bunch of paper up here.

Shade's face was close to Rileys and his eyes locked on the eyes of the other boy. "Now when have I seemed to care?" He asked,stopping his own temptation to say 'I care because your hurt.'. It creeped him out.His deep ruby eyes where deep and held a story in them,a story of pain and a story of anger and hurt.A story that Shade had never spoken of.The reason why he hated his brother.

Not just paper. Theres wooden boxes, which they arent strong enough to open, a packet of pencils with half of them missing, a couple stray erasers, large collars and muzzles which they can infer are for those muscle dogs, and a large stack of the prison uniforms.

She takes some pencils. For weapons.

Theres also spiders. Lots and lots of spiders.

"Um... I don't know." Riley says quietly, heart speeding up and blushing slightly as he tries to keep his emotions down. Riley tried to decipher the story behind the anger and hurt in Shade's eyes, but he was as good as that as he was with deciphering others emotions.

He noticed the blush and seemed confused and curious about it,his face coming closer and only maybe an inch between Riley's and his own mouth.He clearly didn't understand human romance and things. "Are you hurt there to? The color changed." He said softly,wings still half spread and blocking all side views of what was around them.

She ignores those.

Riley momentarily panics, unsure if Shade actually like him or no, and not wanting to offend or scare or anger the dragon. Riley backs up until he bumps the edge of his cot, almost falling backwards. However, the distance didn't really grow between them."N-no, not there." Riley says, blushing more.
