Shadeaux D Gloom "Smooth, daddy-o. There went your cool points just FLYING out the window!"
Melody gave a small giggle, "I understand, I'm quite clumsy myself, I can't count how many times I've had my hands too full and fallen over the smallest thing."
Hm, this was going better than she thought.
She played with the ends of her hair, before clearing her throat to shoo away the awkward silence that began soon after, "So, um, can I say something? I know this will sound very odd but..."
She slowly raised her head letting her multitude of eye colors show, "Um, well," she let her face slowly grow red, "When you lost your glasses in the creepeteria..ahem," she was trying to cut to the chase as best as she could, "I caught a glimpse of your eyes and I thought they looked..um..very nice," she caught herself, "b-but not in an odd way! Like very pretty, well um, not pretty. I mean handsome, er, well what I'm trying to say is,"
She covered her face in embarrassment, "Oh ghoul I'm not very good at this.."
Oh ghoul, if she could swim away from the sea of awkwardness she just created she would have swam miles already.

"Oh dear!" Draconia helped Essi and Nekki up after their tumble. Such accidents were always likely to happen when one dealt with portals. "Are you all fright?"
The opportunity to talk to Essi about Lin was lost as Gryff came up to the trio of ghouls, utterly ignoring the plight of Essi and Nekki - which was typical for Gryff.
"Oh, Ello, Gryff!" Draconia greeted him, and politely introduced the two ghouls she was with. "This is Estrella Espacio and...I'm sorry, I thought I overheard yesterday your name was Necra?"
Gryff was not to be distracted with the pleasantries of introductions, though, and Draconia quickly found herself led away as Gryff asked to be led to 'simple picture books.'
"Picture books?" Draconia wasn't quite sure what was more fangtastical - the fact that Gryff was asking to be shown something instead of just harumph-ing his way through the store like usual, the fact that he was buying for somemonster besides himself, or the fact that somehow he'd been coerced into joining the Secret Santa Claws hexchange. "Who...who are you buying for? If I may ask, of course."
Draconia didn't want to damage the sanctity of Secret Santa Claws!
"Whatsisname. The bro." Gryff waved a hand dismissively. Draconia scratched her head.
"Heath?"
"Ugh. NO. The OTHER bro."
"Nero?"
"The OTHER OTHER bro."
"Manny? Deuce? Clawd? Chase?" Draconia rattled off names of mansters that might fit under the 'bro' classification. Gryff snapped a claw at the last name.
"Chase. Yes, that's the one. I'm thinking something simple. No words. Bright colors and shapes. Maybe with rounded corners." Draconia tried to shrug off the edge of scorn in Gryff's voice. He was TRYING to do something nice, after all! Draconia put on her smile.
"While we do have a few books like that, they're mostly for hatchlings or baby monsters. And Chase may be a bit....'bro,' but he's, dare I say, a bit more grimtellectually advanced than a baby. In fact, he and I were in Advanced Dragonomics together this last Scaremester. He's incredibly good with money and finances. It comes of living the simple life on his family's farm."
"Farm? Is it goreganic?" Gryff automatically asked. "Free trade, no pesticides? GMO free? Small batches? Sustainable?"
"Of corpse!" Draconia answered. "Dare I even say, some of the strains of crops they grow are...artisinal."
THAT rated an eyebrow raise from Gryff. Was it possible that he would look at Chase in a new light?

Melody covered her eyes in embarrassment, "Oh! I'm sorry, it always happens when I'm nervous!" She explained feeling her cheeks grow redder.
Shadeaux D Gloom "So you... well, we kinda got our time split before you could... are you going to the Lamia chick's Winter ball?"
"Oh, yes," she tried to shake off her shyness as best as she could, "that was what I was trying to talk to you about but never seemed to get a chance to do so...." she bit her lip, "so....,"
She just had to let it out.
"I had Draconia tell me when you were coming to the store so...we could have a chance to talk about it," she pulled on her sleeves, "i'm sorry if that sounded odd. I just really wanted to talk to you..."

Despite his nervousness and level of discomfort over trying to ask a cool werekitten out, that particular confession caused the sack Boo to break out into a smile. And had she been able to see behind his shades, Melody would have seen Shad's eyes flash temporscarily all-black -- a sign amongst his kind of happiness.
"You did, huh? Hm, how very clandestine!" The flush to his cheeks a match for her own. "And it worked! Here we are!" He held his arms out, motioning between them. "Having our very own!"
Shad shifted his hands into his pockets and started to fidget, kicking an imaginary pebble with his shoe.
"Soooo! Since we were totally on the rail, and I don't want to be on a solo flight at this swingin' trip, and I bet a slick werekitten like you doesn't either ... and I'd sure like to wail with a total mazda... I guess I gotta ask... I mean I want... well..."
Gryff sighed from where he was looking over some merchandise with Draconia's assistance, just around the corner from where he could easily overhear Shad's nervous rambling. He leaned back aeound the book case to frown (duh!) between the two...
"Oh for... He is attempting in his own inept way to ask you out. On a date."
And stepped back just as easily, laving Shad and Melody staring after him. Shad turned his head slowly to the ghoul of his screams and pointed in his direction.
"What he said."
