Lumikki stood there staring at her phone. Her tails showing signs of agitation. But her cheeks showing signs of something else entirely. Frowning she looked around her room. She still had a scarf for Sin she had finally gotten someone to tell her what colour the ghoul liked. Grabbing it quickly she rushed out her dorm door looking for Sin's room. Clearly Sin knew about these things right. She could help her...if she wasn't already crazy. Knocking softly on the door she started to have second thoughts what if Julian was just asking her something simple...that she was taking what he said wrong. Her ears dropped slightly as the colour of her cheeks started to get closer to the tips of her ears now she just felt foolish.

Sin flexed her wings slightly and winced in pain, damn still hurt, apparently it was going to take a while for it to heal. She sighed and finished wrapping her wing up again to keep it still. Her gaze snapped to the door and then she tried to dispel the sensation of paranoia, just someone at the door. "Who is it?"

Lumi's ears twitched she heard the slight movement inside and felt bad. It sounded as if she might have interrupted Sin from a nap or something else equally important. Wincing slight she finally spoke up, "Hi Sin. It's Lumikki. I hope I'm not bothering you...but I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment...if that's OK that is..." yep she was awesome at talking. At least she wasn't as awkward around the ghoul as she was around Julian.

"Oh! Lumi, of course darkling come in!" Sin smiled and opened the door pleased to see the other demon ghoul. With her wing injured she was trying to stay in and take it easy, she was also a little bruised from her fall. "Care for a drink?" She stepped back and over to the kitchen to pour herself some water and grab some snacks, being a good hostess was bred in her blood.

Lumi had debated just chalking it up to stupidity but when the ghoul opened the door Lumi felt horrible for having intruded in the first place. Walking in she saw that Sin was injured but still being the model demon. "Sin! what did you do? Are you alright?" For a minute she forgot why she was there in the first place. Shaking her head as she heard the question. Setting down the scarf she smiled "let me help you... "

"Oh just an unplanned flight lesson..." She laughed and sighed handing Lumi a glass. "I'm fine, just taking it easy until I'm healed up, I'm so glad you came to visit though! You are staying a bit I hope?"

Smiling at Sin. "I really hope that it didn't hurt too much. I'm sure Rosc could probably help too..." Taking the glass and nodding absently. Before remembering the scarf. "I have something far you I was going to give it to you earlier but I wanted to make sure you would have liked the colour so I had to ask Rosc. Um... I do have a question though..." Holding the scarf gingerly on her hand and the glass in her other her tails finally slowing but her ears drooped slightly.

"It was a good lesson in...being cautious and looking before leaping. Rosc seems to have found some game we can play online to help keep me from going stir crazy." She smiled and then touched the scarf. "Oh Lumi it's lovely! Thank you, that was so sweet of you. Sure, come sit down and fire away." She walked over and motioned to a plush chaise before sitting down herself and wriggling a bit for the comfort of her wing.

Smiling "I bet it has helped you from going crazy," Taking a seat next to Sin "well...Uh... So Julian asked me something today on text and I... well I wanted to ask you about it because you and Rosc. I mean..." Sighing slightly as she pulled out her phone. "It might be easier for you to just see it'' Holding out the last text from Julian which read 'well I should do this face to face but I'd rather know now. Do you want to be my ghoul friend?'

Sin nodded and then smiled at Lumi curiously. Julian asked her something? She tried to follow the other ghouls words but it was a bit of a jumble. She reached out for the phone and looked at the text then grinned. "LUMI! That's great! I mean...if you feel that way about Julian? What did you reply?"

"Well I uhm said yes? But...Rosc told me that well letting Julian know how I feel is power that he has now...and...now did I make a mistake?" Frowning as her ears twitched "I mean I...think I love him? But why...what would it mean if he knows that...I mean...your...succubus they don't love do they? I mean your a better demon then me and I...am I doing the right thing..." the rambling just got quieter as she kept speaking. Feeling dumber the longer she went on.

Sin was struck for a moment by Lumi's words, succubi don't love...for a moment her chest constricted painfully. Maybe that was true, but she certainly felt to the depth of her fear for Rosc...and still she let him down. She didn't let her smile waver. "Oh Lumi...sometimes our feelings can't be so easily calculated and controlled no matter how we try. I suppose it's your choice if you want to risk letting your emotions go but...well let me ask you something? Do you think Julian is the type of boil to use the knowledge of your feelings against you?"

Lumi saw the ghoul take a pause. And heard the slight change. "Oh Sin I didnt mean that...I just meant...I know my kind similar to subbubi...they..uhm own their toys until they have whats needed...fear or otherwise...boils arent useful...but...I" thinking about the question. "I...I dont think he would I mean he promised he wouldnt break my heart but he said he might make mistakes..." wrinkling her nose and trying not to giggle. "What does a ghoul friend do? Im all scared of him knowing...that I like him that I never actually asked if being his ghoul friend even meant he liked me!"

"No...your right Lumi, don't worry I know what you mean. Our kind use emotions to control their prey, but surely you don't think of Julian as a toy? He's at the very least a friend and at most?" She smiled and flicked a strand of hair back. "Everyone makes mistakes, especially when two people are learning how to get along with each other." She smirked at Lumi's question. "I think Julian likes you more than he dares admit, but being a ghoulfriend isn't soemthing you have to worry about DOING, it's being a partner, a friend, you and Julian can go on dates and spend more time together learning about each other...it's nice."

Her ears twitched slightly raising an eyebrow. "Of course he is not a toy. Unless you ask my mother. But..." Sighing, before smiling at Sin, "do...you feel like a fool when you are around Rosc? I mean like you have a lot you want to say to him but worry about actually saying it because you dont have an idea if...if he's interested or not." Shaking her head, "I'm apparently not good at talking about him...or even around him. I get so nervous and well plainly I suck at it." Laughing at herself she wondered if Sin thought she was crazy

Sin's smile faded and she shook her head , were all demon mothers such an influence of their daughters or was it simply because she and Lumi had high society mothers? "Pay your mother no mind Lumi, your the one who has to live with your choices and feelings." She smiled and gently touched her friends hand. "I think the trouble is you overthink it, if Julian didn't find what you say interesting he probably wouldn't have asked you to be his ghouldfriend, even as gorgeous as you are. Besides think of it this way...you and I are ghoulfriends and your not nervous talking to me are you? I mean you know I like talking to you?" She smiled.

Without thinking, "yes but it is different with you. Your a ghoul. Ghouls are more useful." Hearing her own mothers words spewing from her lips Lumi looked mortified. She hadnt actually moved her hand that Sin had touched but her eyes had widened as she helds the glass from falling, "I didnt mean that the way it..wait you think im pretty?" Yep she had no issues talking. Shaking her head "Either way...I think your right. I just have to be less nervous...if you think Julian likes me as well? I...I think when you're feeling better we might have to go to the maul..." looking down at her hands then back at Sin, "since you have such amazing taste I thought maybe you could help me pick out something stunning for when I see Julian again?"

Sin laughed and gave Lumi's hand a comforting squeeze. "Don't worry darkling I know exactly what you mean. Of course your pretty, for the love of Jack Lumi don't you have a mirror?" She nodded and sipped her water with a smile. "Your nerves will steady once you realize that Julians feeling for you are as exposed as yours are for him. Yes, oh a maul trip is just the thing for me to look forward to when my wing feels better."

"Sin thank you so much. For this...I mean I know I probably sounded kind of crazy. But im actually not used to having friends. Or a boil that notices me." Sipping her water as she mused over the question of the mirror "you know what is funny about that. But I think because im such a horrible Kumiho in my communities eyes I guess it never dawned on me." Blinking, "I've never told anyone else these things before. Please dont tell Julian that...I'd like for him to think I'm sane."

"I'm glad we're friends Lumi..." She smiled and looked down at her glass swirling the water a moment, she was happy to have Lumi as a friend, she just hoped she didn't fail her as badly as she had others. "You don't really think your horrible do you Lumi? Don't worry Julian doesn't think badly of you..."

Tilting head to the side, "I'm not sure...I mean I'm not good at the art of seduction of boils...so I mean that makes me kind of horrible from a Kumiho perspective." Looking at Sin her smile returned, "Sin is, is everyting okay? I've been here blabbing on and on about nothing but it...that is it seems to me something is bothering you. As your friend" smiling happily "would you tell me?"

"Well...look...Lumi when I first came to Amityville I had a lot of advice from my mother. I thought that being a proper succubus and following my mothers advice were more important than anything and truth be told I was rather nasty to a lot of nice people who didn't deserve it. It took me a long time to realize my mistakes and now I think...that maybe it's too late, maybe selfishness was drummed into me for so long that I'm incapable of anything else." She sighed and shook her head slowly. "I just don't want you to feel...the way I felt...the way I still feel sometimes..."

Tilting her head to the side maybe it was because Sin struck her as something completely different but she was taken back, "Sin, I dont think that you are selfish. I think that you are someone to look up to. You have Rosc who...I think from what I can tell really cares for you and trusts you and he seems...like a boil that doesnt stand selfishness. And I know selfish...my older sister.(not related but a term) she is selfish...its why mother picked her. You are definitely not like her." Squeezing Sin's hand reassuringly. "Also...Julian thinks the world of you."

"Julian knows how callow I was, he's a good friend to still think well of me. Rosc loves me and love has a way of blinding you to someone's faults sometimes." She sighed and ran her hand back through her hair mingling the strands of pink with black again. "I just hope you have confidence in yourself Lumi, I think being Julians ghoulfriend will be good for you.." She smiled "having a boil focus his attention on you is very ego boosting"

Lumi smiled and blushed. Then remembered something, "Sin...do...did you have an odd dream about uhm...kingdoms and kings?" There was a small nagging voice in her head that kept prodding wanting Lumi to ask, "I mean I have this feeling that this life or dream I guess but I remember Julian and you...you you seemed so sad there. I just wondered why. "

Sin looked at Lumi curiously then flinched, her hand moved to her side where a half memory haunted her. "Yes...another of my...failings...apparently I'm better at taking care of myself than offering others my loyalty."

"No Sin! I think...Julian was willing to lay his life for you. I think you can take care of others too. You underestimate yourself." She smiled a little sadder. Was Sin as broken as she was but covered it better? "Sin, are you scared that others dont like you?"

Sin looked at Lumi a long moment slowly the smile she always forced on slipped into a neutral, a real, expression. "All the time..."

Lumi blinked a few times and then couldn't help herself before giggling, "Oh Sin!" Hugging the ghoul, "you shouldn't be afraid of that. You are beautiful, and super nice, and well amazing in so many ways. Plus your boilfriend is cute." Shrugging slightly, "but I know how you feel. I think that...its funny coming from me but I think that you are looking at it from the wrong view."

Sin looked a bit startled and then slowly hugged Lumi in return it felt strange at first but then nice. She tried not to hug Rosc too tight knowing how uneasy it could make him. "Your a wonderful friend Lumi, Julian better be a good boilfriend or I'll have to pluck him."

"Sin," looking at the ghoul a genuine smile on her lips, "I'm very happy to know you and call you friend. And I know it doesn't mean alot but...anyone who doesn't like you doesnt know you."

"It means more than you know Lumi." She smiled and then relaxed a bit, it helped to finally say some of those worries out loud. Hearing Lumi had memories of kingdoms and things that had happened yet not was also a comfort. "So when do you two plan on having an official date?"

Giving Sin a complete blank look, "official date? Is that how this works?" Shaking her head, "I'm bad at this...Julian picked the wrong ghoul to ask out..." she went on mumbling something about Julian kissing and then lit up "Sin! Did you do things in that dream life thing that you feel guilty about...."

"Well there's no rulebook but usually there is a first date that sort of recognizes that you two are a couple?" She laughed and stood walking over to her closet with just the faintest limp. "Oh I have a divine blue dress but I just can't pull off this shade of blue and I know you could..." She paused at the closet leaning against the door and frowned slightly. "Yes...I still feel guilty sometimes...you know..." She paused and bit her lip shards of those elusive memories pricked at her, particularly because Julian featured with such prominence in some of them.

"Do...you thnk if I told Julian something he'd be upset? I mean I don't think I would have done it...but a reaper boil...Roch...I...might have kissed him...and possibly liked him..." her ears twitched, before jumping up. She felt something tug at her but she brushed it off again, "but..but wow...that dress is beautiful" trying to change the subject worried about what she just stated

Sin cringed and looked at Lumi half guilty. "Lumi...I don't think you should pay those dreams and things any mind...you see...I...I dreamed that....that I wanted Julian..." She took a deep breath. "but that's not how I really feel. I love Julian like a brother and I'd rather he never know about foolish dreams and things that haven't happened."

Her ears twitched, "If you say I shouldn't pay them any mind you shouldn't either." Standing near Sin "W-whatever dreams we might have had...they...they don't mean anything right?" Thinking about the previous comment, "Sin you...you aren't worried about that as well as being liked? I'm sure our actions can't be held against us with Julian and Rosc..." .... "but maybe we wont tell them about it..."

"I think it's best not to give them any unfounded concerns....that's all." She moved the blue dress off the hanger and held it up to Lumi. "It's perfect, it's yours." She smiled and then sighed. "I'm sure they wouldn't hold it against us, but I have other memories of Julian that I'd rather not bring up with him or Rosc...the thought of creating a crack in our friendship is unbearable."

Looking at the dress, "Thank you Sin its so pretty." Taking it from her before continuing, "I don't think that anything honestly could do that. But your boilfriend might kill mine...for making you sad. So I'm sure its best not to talk to them about it. But dont make yourself sad about it"

"Agreed, Rosc doesn't need any reasons to distrust others and he and Julian have become friend of a sort." She nodded pleased with how the blue fabric looked against Lumi's skin. She smiled and nodded at Lumi. "I try not to dwell on the sad...really."

Lumi smiled looking down at the dress. "I think you worry about it more then you let on. Because thats what I do..." thinking about Julian, "think he'll like it? He always gets so red and studdery when I wear things like this..."

"He'll love it, and he only gets that way because he likes you so." She smiled at Lumi and then laughed lightly. "You really don't realize how pretty you are do you? I think it's sweet, you're not vain like me."

Tilting her head to the side, "Oh Sin I don't think you are vain. I think you are so pretty...and I wish I had your confidence. I..." looking at the dress. "Do you think I could actually wear this...last time I put something like this on Julian didn't seem too happy about it. But..." touching the neckline of the dress, "if you think its only because he likes me..." Blinking and changing speeds without warning, "Sin I don't know what to do with a boil...I mean I know what they are good for but Julian doesn't fall in that category...I mean...do I get dressed up wear my hair different..." her tails swished quickly as her ears faded from view, a recent development she found. The colour returning to her cheeks as she looked completely mortified at the thought.

"Of course you can wear it! Besides he's probably just jealous at the thought of other boils seeing how pretty you are." She grinned at how rapidly Lumi started to get worked up and then laughed and touched her arm again in reassurance. "Oh Lumi I think Julian likes you just the way you are, you don't have to change or do anything differently. You can dress up, but only because of how good it makes you feel. When I put on a new dress or do my hair it's for me, it helps me feel confident."

"Really?" Was all she could manage without taking a breath. Trying to calm down she looked at Sin and smiled. "Sorry about that. Ever since I met Julian on my first trip here...I just. And now all of this" waving her hand at herself "After my exams I went home and didn't want to come back because I was turning pink...which I didn't mind its normal...but it also meant other things...and well" wrinkles nose "I was worried about what Julian would think about the new look..." Laughing suddenly "Is that why you are also so fashionable? That is the great Miss Sin's secret! Dressing in adorable outfits and making boils and ghouls want you or be like you...when Julian first introduced me to you I was so upset. How could I compare to such a high bred demon... and I'm rambling...you take it better than Rosc at least smiling sheepishly.

A giggle escaped her at Lumi's rather infectious enthusiasm. "Really. Well a part of my love of fashion was instilled in me by my mother, but yes being well dressed helps me feel better. My mother always used to say no one would respect a ghoul who didn't respect herself enough to make sure she looked her best. You come from a very well bred family as well Lumi you should be proud of yourself."

She rolled her eyes at Lumi's comment about Rosc and sighed. "He can be…taciturn but don't mind his gruffness. I'm glad you talk to him, I wish he'd be a little more sociable I just know it's not in his nature. You should join us for that game online!"

Blushing slightly "I am trying to its just so odd...I'm looking at myself and thinking that I look so...Different. " Thinking about the last conversation with Rosc, "well truth be told...I might actually deserve his...gruffness. I've kind of been pestering him...I told him some day we will be friends he doesn't see it. But an online game? What kind of game? I like games..."

"I know what you mean…changes come and surprise us." She licked her lips and then sighed and brushed her hair back.

"Your no pest Lumi, Rosc just isn't sociable. I wouldn't push his buttons though when it comes to trying to befriend him, he'll see soon enough your no trouble. Rosc told me about the game since I'd be bored senseless otherwise while I heal up. It's called…wonderland I think, it's one of those online games you can play with anyone you know. I've never tried anything like that myself but I'd love it if you joined us."

Rubbing at the spot her ear was she frowned until it came back to view "Yeah...Julian told me the same thing about Rosc I just need to be patient" online game the look on Lumi's face could be described as intrigue with confusion. "So like it could be played with others? I wonder if Julian has it...he's at home...so I've been kind of bored as well. Yeah I think I could join." The level of confusion gave way to a smile, "buuut...is it hard?"

"Yeah I think so, I mean there’s a lot of people in the game, but we can form a group and play. It sounds interesting enough." She was glad to hear Lumi was interested after all she couldn't expect Rosc to spend too much time looking at the screen, his eyes wouldn't be able to handle that. "I don't know, I hope it's not too hard like I said I haven't played this type of thing before.

Nodding, "Well I would love to play. It would give me something else to do except knitting all the time. And I know Julian likes games so maybe when he's back he'd play too." Thinking a bit, "Maybe we should try it before he gets back...I'd rather be OK at it before Julian shows me how badly I play...but at least there little danger to it right?"

"Maybe you'll be so good at it that you can teach him a thing or two when he get's back!" She grinned and then nodded. "Well unless you get so excited you fall out of your chair." She laughed.

Thinking for a moment before looking serious. "Oh...I think the danger in that alone might be high" Smiling again, "So its called wonderland? As soon as I get back to my room I'll look it up. But how will I find you to play with?"

"My username is gonna be the same one I use for everything Unmentionable_Tamer, just tell me your username when you join up and we'll find each other in the game." She smiled and sat down.

Blinking slowly "oh...I need a user name? Could I use anything?" Thinking about it she felt stupid for asking about it in the first place. "I suppose I could use the one that I use for everything..I'm sure it would be okay. So DarklingFox." Holding the dress she turned to go in and put the glass away. "Thank you again Sin for everything. Maybe when Julian gets back we could go on a double date? And where can I get that game?"

"Well I imagine so unless there are rules? DarklingFox, that's adorable."

She smiled at Lumi thrilled with how pretty the blue would look on her, and nodded. "Of course a double date would be amazing. I'll text your eyePhone with a link once Rosc gets it. You will come visit again soon though? It's nice just to have a little ghoulfriend talk time."

Smiling nodding her head slightly, "of course I will. I really had a wonderful time. Next time hopefully you will be healed and I won't be such a horrible spaz." Smiling happily at the mention of the ghoul agreeing to a double date. "I think it would be fun, and might be easier for me on a date with Julian..." blushing deeply, "maybe you could help me get ready as well...I'm not used to having ghoulfriends and its nice." Leaning over to hug the ghoul. "I'll send you a message later?"

She returned the hug happily and nodded. "Of course darkling, you know I'd be thrilled to help you get ready and all. I'll see you later."

"Take care. I'll chat with you soon. I'll see myself out." Smiling Lumi held the dress close as she made her way out.
