Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Norvie."

Professor Selene had found her heart, stuffed it back into her body, snuck up quietly back into the room, and was now hiding behind Professor Norvie, who was speaking with Rengath. She reached out and tugged on the back of his shirt softly as she whispered.

"Norvie. Norvie." She repeated, over and over, safely cowered behind his small frame.

There was something about the sound of slithering scales and a slight subtle hiss of the whisper that touched deep into the Hindbrain of the rat-man and sent shivers down his spine.

Instinct kicked in- there was a predator behind him.

His tail stood on end, his ears swiveling back before his rational thought came running into his mental warehouse screaming with its arms flailing, It's just Selene, relax relax RELAX!!

"I ah..." He wobbled, voice breaking a moment before slowly glancing over his shoulder. "G-good evening, Selene? Er... Can... is something bothering you?" He managed with what he hoped was a good-natured smile.

SPLURP!

Another spit ball hit her smack dab on her cheek. If Bea wasn't dyed pink already from Desu's trip, her face would have been seen painfully red with anger. That smug look on Enzo's face and the wiggle of his sausage fingers, Bea had had enough of his crude way of flirting.

Her brows furrowed, scrunched up her nose and felt a curl to her lip come up. She peeled the wad off her face and quickly flung it back at that snot-nosed reaper.

Lizzy gently patted Junko on her head; she was actually quite surprised to see so many familiar faces around... Mot, she sort of expected to see here, but Shun? He was the last person she thought she would see, given his usually violent take on things, especially after what had recently happened to-

"Mitsu~" She beamed at the werewolf, "You remembered my name!" It was obviously a very big deal.

Shaking his head he looked around, seeing the half empty case of blood beer it was quickly shoved under a desk. "Not a clue on how they make it 'vegan'. It just tastes terrible and has far too much salt in it. It can trigger my salt allergies if I drink that zero calorie stuff." He paused. "Not that I am watching my weight."

The chips might have been low fat, he wasn't telling. His weight aside he was not a human hater per say, but after his run in the DETH from a professional's standpoint, he really couldn't stand them. Plus it was the dynamic duo. "But you're right about that I suppose. That human killing rhetoric the kids are spouting-" His hand waved in the air. "I honestly don't think they realize how much of a pain killing a human actually is. DETH might be painfully over the top, even for me, but they have an underlying point. Killing or even harming? I've done my dealings with the boogeymen. I never want to deal with them again." Red eyes trailed down to the hiding teacher. Lips curved into a smile.

"Hello Selene." Pulling a tin of chocolates from his coat, the words, 'human heartdrops' could be seen. Pulling out a small dark red chocolate he grinned. "You're looking well."

Selene gave Norvie a shy smile, before hiding further behind his back. "Sort of." She lowered her voice to a whisper, leaning in to his ear. Her hand covered her mouth. "It's that new substitute. He just.." She shuddered involuntarily. "I don't know!! Just uhm.. I will just stand here for a bit, if that is all right with you?"

Rengath's greeting made her shy behind Norvie further, but her eyes were still visible, and when he pulled out the chocolates, she peeked a little further and gave him a tiny smile. The compliment had her blushing everywhere. "Hello Rengie! Thank you, thank you very much! I'm.. very glad to be here." Her hands clutched Norvie's arm tightly. "Even if it is a bit.. overwhelming."

She eyed him. Then the chocolates. Then him again.

Rengath looked to where the slender man had been. Raising an eyebrow he snorted. "You're hired, he's a substitute. I don't think you have much to be concerned about." The nickname was simply accepted. Rengath wasn't going to fight her as she'd either cry or going into a chain of apologies.

Before giving him a new nick name. He wasn't going to risk it getting worse.

"Chocolates?" He held out the tin to her.
