Ren had been too busy trying to stifle his laughter at Gabrian's predicament that he had not even noticed what was going on with Riley and Jericho. The bottle had obviously taken a liking to the nix for reasons unbeknown to him (or maybe he did know, and was just more amused than he probably should have been), which had made everything just that much more funny.
However, it seemed as if their little night was coming to an end. Ren's eyes slid to the left, following the commotion as Riley and Jericho stood, and he lifted his brows, stretching out his legs.
"Ahhh, so we're free now, are we?" He said lightly, smiling. "Well, that was certainly an entertaining night."
Ren moved to get to his feet, but a nagging feeling made him stop before he walked towards the door. He glanced back down at Alessa, shifting from one foot to the other, as if unsure of himself; a rarity for the gryphon.
"Er," said Ren, casting a vaguely nervous look over at LW, as if signaling for the shewolf to wait for him. He stood there awkwardly for a moment, wrestling internally with himself, and then seemed to come to a conclusion. With a small sigh, he crouched down in front of Alessa, hands resting on his knees, tilting his head as he leaned in close to her, a small smile on his face. His voice was low, barely audible enough to hear except for the nagual right in front of him.
"Go out with me."

Gabrian made a slight face again as Jericho got up to follow the Cthulu; he had to admit that dragon was a brave, brave soul to be willing to do that so... swiftly. There'd been almost no hesitation, "Either you're a brave, brave soul," he drawled at the boil as he sunk his hand into the shoe, "Or you really, really want to get out of here," it was at that point that the demon decided it was only er... polite to look away and allow the boil time to finish his mission.
As such, he turned to look at LW, making a face at her as she mentioned something about charming the bottle, "I have decided I don't want to see a bottle again for as long as I live," he didn't really sound all that serious though, seeing as how his grimace melted into a smile. Deep down, he'd enjoyed the afternoon despite it's rocky start; not only had it been interesting but it'd made him think. He was going to have to go back to his dorm room soon enough and... think some more, actually, "I'm not sure. I lost count. And I technically wouldn't call them lucky. Specially not that dragon," he motioned at Jericho just as the dragon fished the jack-forsaken key out of the shoe, "Thank Jack," a sigh of relief was released and he pushed himself up to his feet, extending a hand over to the she-wolf in order to pull her to her feet as Riley and the dragon moved to open the door, "As interesting as this has all been... I'm sure we all deserve a good rest," he turned to Claire, "Lovely evening, don't get me wrong... it's just that it'slate," and then back to the purple demoness and the dragon, "Please tell me that key works."
In the mild commotion and chaos going on, he'd lost sight of Ren, but when he turned, he found the gryphon crouched in front of the Nagual, looking rather intimate. That was rather ahhh... interesting, actually. Extremely interesting. Despite the fact he could not hear what he was whispering, judging from the reaction the other boil had had when the two ghouls had kissed, Gabrian had an inkling of a notion of what was going on. He figured he'd get to the bottom of that later though, for now, he felt that the best course of action was to leave (and no, he wasn't doing the gryphon a favor, why do you ask?). He curled an arm around LW's shoulder and guided her towards the door, ignoring the little scene behind them, "Ah yes, Dream is a sweetheart. You're welcome to come visit her and Davy, if you so wish, any time. I'm actually just a couple of doors down from here," that said, he waited for the door to open so he could guide them out and hopefully return to his dorm to have a good nap; he thought he'd earned it.

LW laughed and glanced towards the offending bottle. Really, there was something about it. It was the only explanation she could currently come up with. "Well, that might be difficult to accomplish," she teased, "but I'm sure we can find a compromise. Maybe only certain bottles for instance?" Another laugh bubbled out. "I dunno Gabe...I think he still counts as being lucky." Actually, she just considered anyone that had gotten to kiss this demon lucky. Why? She wasn't quite sure yet. That was something she planned on asking her best friend about.
Speaking of Ren, the she-wolf glanced his way as she took Gabrian's hand. He was...nervous? And crouching down in front of Alessa. She remembered the blush she had caught on his cheeks when she had kissed the rabbit and a sly smile spread slowly across her lips. A slight nod was sent his way, meaning she would wait for him. Looked like they both were going to have some stuff to discuss with one another.
Hearing Gabe reminded her to thank their host as well. "Yes, thank you Claire for the fun game and great evening." The arm that was placed around her shoulders should not have made her feel quite so funny. But it did. And not a bad funny. No, she was...enjoying it more than she should? Oh man, she and Ren were definitely talking.
"I just might have to do that then." The she-wolf was glad her voice didn't sound any different. LW could be very good at hiding feelings. Plus...she was confused by them. Very confused. "Especially to come visit the charming Davy." She glanced up and gave him a teasing smile. "And I guess I could come visit you too."

Tsetsiliya, too, had been wearied by the evening's events. Despite wanting to leave much earlier than most of the others had, she had gone through with the rest of the evening, and indeed felt rather pleased with herself. But now that the door was open and everyone was beginning to filter out, she was ready to bolt.
With a glance at Gabrian as he rose, she knew she had a lot of emotional sorting to do when she returned to her dorm.
Tsetsiliya straightened her clothes out before turning to their hostess, Claire. At least she had thankfully missed the chaos that had arisen earlier! With a bow of the head, she whispered, "T-thank you for inviting me." Her headscarf was making an impressive show of not staying put on her head, and as she fiddled with it, she flashed another glance towards Gabe. She wanted to thank him for being so patient with her, perhaps give the others a smile too.. but it seemed that everyone was rather preoccupied. Had it sprung from this evening, or was it pushed on by earlier events? Either was possible, but as the nix put an arm around the she-wolf, there was the smallest of pangs in her heart. However Tsetsiliya pushed it forcefully back.
Silly notions had their time and place, but she would not give into them.
It wasn't practical to feel that way about him - she didn't even know him. It was just whimsy, and the poludnica did not find herself the whimsical sort. She would sort out the confused feelings from tonight and be done with it, so that if she were to see him again, it would be like she had never even imagined such fancies. Clinging onto that very thought, she approached the two on her way towards the door. Yes, she would thank him, and that would be that. End of story. End of that silly notion of hers.
But the words wouldn't quite form. She stood there with a silly smile on her face, her cheeks slowly filling with color, before the words came tumbling out. "T-t-thank you f-for being so k-kind to me." Her eyes met the ground, the smile still formed on her lips as she nodded her head at them and was out the door.
Silly notions, indeed.

((...why did I never conclude this! End post now. ))
Ren's reaction to her and LW's kiss left Alessa rather embarrassed. She wasn't sure why it wasn't an unpleasant kind of embarrassed though. Did she like that she had shocked Ren into stumbling over his words? She wasn't sure, but it sure seemed that way and she wasn't sure what to think of it. So she diverted her gaze, trying to keep the color from her face, though she knew she was failing.
When the door was finally unlocked, Alessa let out a sigh of relief. She was about to get to her feet as quickly as she could manage, wanting nothing more to get out of the room before she had to kiss someone else, but she stopped when she blinked and found Ren crouched in front of her. She wasn't able to get a word out before he whispered a suggestion, not even a question.
Any words she had had caught in her throat, cutting off all sound. Her eyes went wide for a moment, bewildered, and the color of her face before was nothing to what it was now. She had never been asked out before. To have it happen now, with someone like Ren...Her eyelashes dropped, fluttering just a little, and before she could even think about what she was saying she blurted rather quietly, "Y-yes! I mean, sure."
She stood up slowly, still holding Shiro, somehow. Oh, Jack, she had meant to bring her back to Gabe's room but...Gabe had already left. Well, it looked like Shiro would have to come back to her room and cuddle with Lance after all. Glancing at the door, she looked shyly at Ren, before heading out, "Um...walk back with me?"
