Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lumikki:
Lumikki had been sitting on the ground starting down at her feet. She hadn't even remembered why she was out here in the first place. She had gotten so stir crazy in her room and something seemed rather fun about going out to the small lake she had seen it was frozen and she knew how to skate. But nothing ever seemed to go the way it should around school, blinking the tears from her eyes she grabbed her phone. She could call Julian but he might get cross with her for doing something so stupid. But then again she did need help. She had left her first aid kit on her desk, she hadn't thought to bring it with her even though it was in a nice leather pouch. No she left it in her room, good idea, she mumbled before sending a quick text to a boil that she hoped would help.

Rosciel:
Rosc lounged on his bed, the pillows stacked between his back and the headboard, one leg bent up so that he could rest his book on it. There should be more books printed like this, it would certainly make him more interested in reading. But then, it was expensive and the market was next to nill. It wasn't a lucretive business. So, fine, he wouldn't be getting another one like this, not unless Rosanna wanted to spoil him again. He didn't have to like reading.

A flutter caught his attention, Lucifer had just flown onto his bedside table and was pecking at his phone.
"That's not for pecking," Rosc said calmly with a small snap of his fingers to get the small phoenix's attention. The bird looked up at him with no doubt an incredulous look in his eye before the phone suddenly went off in a succession of neutral ringing, startling the bird into flying across the room to Rosc's dresser.

The incubus couldn't help but grin a bit at that as he closed the book and picked up the phone, expecting it to be a call.
It wasn't.
The grin faded from his face as he carefully keyed a few things in so that the blasted text would be read out loud.


It was from bird-boil's ghoulfriend. Of course she'd text him rather than call. If he had eyes, he would have rolled them. And yet, his illusions were getting stronger, now the mostly-transparent blue orbs in his sockets flickered a bit in annoyance.
She'd hurt herself and now she needed help. Probably didn't want to call Julian because he'd fuss. Or simply because she knew he'd been in a healing class and had a first aid kit to use. Either way.
He should just leave her there, pretend he never got the text... But then Sin would never forgive him

Rosc sighed heavily and stood from the bed, slipping the phone into his pants pocket, his dark glasses onto his face. In no time at all, he was walking out of his room, first aid kit in one hand, slipping his coat on the other.

Didn't take him too long to get down to the lakeside. And when he did, he just stopped in front of the ghoul and crossed his arms.
"What did you do this time?"

Rosc didn't move a muscle as she stared up at him. If she was just going to sit there, he wasn't going to bend over backwards to help her out.
An incredulous smirk found its way onto his face at her outburst over hurting herself and assumptions not being attractive. Since when did he ever try to be becoming? Her attempt at snark was poor at best and mildly amusing.

"Smart choice, that, skating on a frozen lake by yourself." Yeah, it wasn't like she'd hurt herself, now was it? She wasn't the one that put the skates on and decided to flit about like some crazed fae on the frozen water.
Again, if he'd had eyes, they would be rolling.

"Put a lot of faith in strangers, don't you? I could have just as easily ignored that text, you know. Not particularly fond of the cold, either," he replied with a bit of a growl in his voice. He wasn't really fond of most types of extreme weather. This time of year... he didn't mind, what fond memories he had centered around the holidays. But that didn't change the fact that snow days were meant for spending time indoors with his ghoulfriend. Not traipsing around outside to help out a ghoul with no sense enough to go skating with someone else around.
But the wound, what little glance he got at it, didn't look good.

"Can I is one thing, will I is another thing entirely." Rosc replied with small and rather sinister smile. He really did have half a mind to just leave her there. But, again, Sin would never forgive him when she found out. And... when push came to shove, he knew what it was like to be injured and helpless with no one there to help. That was a state he didn't wish on anyone.

Grumbling under his breath about dumb ghouls doing dumb things, he leaned down, grabbed one of her hands and pulled it around his shoulders and pulled her up, letting her lean on him.
"You move that hand, touch my back and I swear I will drop you and leave you," he growled out the words, emphasizing how serious he was about the subject. There were certain things he would tolerate. Anyone, especially a ghoul, that put their hand behind his back was automatically sent to his enemies list, Sin excluded of course. He still tensed a bit whenever she hugged him, but he was getting better at trusting her. It was just one of those things.

His warning given, he started slowly walking back towards the school, his intended destination being Nurse Cricket's office.

Rosc sighed and shook his head.

"You really can't understand it, can you? I don't have friends. Really. The sooner you get that, the better," he replied, the glow slightly visible behind his glasses flickering a little bit. She wasn't going to understand, he knew that. She probably didn't even understand his definition of friend. A friend was someone you went to when you were in trouble. Fine, she could call him her friend, but she would never be his. There very few in this world that he trusted enough for that, and he could count them on one hand.

"Look. I don't trust you as far as I can throw you. I only trust four people besides myself, and it took them years and some really serious situations to earn what little they have. Let's just say I have trust issues and leave it at that."

He looked off at whatever it was she was looking at. Icicles. He didn't get what was so pretty about them, but then he couldn't see light, only feel it.

"Not easily distracted, huh?"
