Luna laughed, fluttering around the two horsewomen. "Precious darlings!" she crooned, and granted them their prizes.
Perhaps she would run a game, tonight. Perhaps.

Julian was back, much as he wasn't sure he wanted to be. Call it silly, but he grabbed his hat before he'd left his dorm, stuffing the new additions underneath it. It wasn't the most comfortable thing, but at least he wasn't still sneezing every few minutes. Now it just filled his hat and hair. Ah well.
Luna's little gift in the pocket of his coat, he stopped and looked around, sighing a bit when he saw Lumi in a corner all by herself. They hadn't had a chance to talk recently. He had wanted to, but hadn't managed it. Lots to say and as much of a wordsmith he was in his spare time, he was horrible at finding the right words with his friends. He'd never understand it.
He walked over to the demoness and sat down, a small smile on his face.
"Hey..." Oh, come on, he could say more than that. He looked down for a moment before back up. "Been having fun?"

Still completely engrossed with the contents of the bag she hasn't heard or scented the boil she'd become so fond of. Hearing his voice she squeaked trying to hide the scarf she had been looking at.
"Ju..Julian hi! I.."
Feeling completely silly she dropped her bag down beside her and jumped up. It was seriously good to see him after everything. Giving him a quick hug she smiled at his hat.
"New look? Or did you eat Luna's powder too?"
She was joking of course but still it was an amusing thought. Motioning to the pillows she waited for his response.

That was Lumi, all over the place it sometimes took him a little while to catch up. The hug had thrown him for a bit of a loop and then she was back down on the pillows and he was flopping down next to her and... Oh, what? Look?
"Powder?" What was she- Oh. He smiled and even laughed a bit and rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh. Yeah. I've been... I thought it might help me relax a bit. Guess that's just not in my immediate future."
Doom he could figure when it was coming, death by all means. But getting a good sleep, day's or night's? Yeah, he was better off trying to foresee next week's winning lottery numbers.
"How... How have you been?" That was not what he wanted to say! Why could he never talk right? He could write a thousand words down, poetic, articulate, anything and everything. But for some reason he had the social skills of a frightened dustbunny. For all the words in his head, he couldn't seem to transfer them to his voice, even if his life depended on it.

Frowning slightly before perking back up
"cant sleep either?"
Granted it was her own fault that she couldn't sleep. Each day she found herself laying in bed looking at the ceiling and each day she'd run up to his room only to turn back around scarf and pin in hand and hide another day. But today she was feeling a bit more confident. Fumbling with her bag at her side she smiled
"Well I met a boil...I don't remember his name a reaper I think? Purple hair? Anyways I chatted with him for a bit...I think Sin and I are going to go to the maul later you should come! Oh and...uhm...ireallymissedyourecentlyandhavesomethingforyou."
She was kind of proud of herself being able to say all that in one breath. Then again the last part was kind of rushed. Her ears twitched slightly before pinking even more when she realized she didn't even ask about him.
"and...uhm how bout you? How are you doing other than no relaxing...by the way stay away from the powder if you want relaxing...I had antennae... they made me sneeze so bad..."
She shut her mouth as she realized she'd been rambling on.

Goodness indeed!With the affectionate moth so high up, Belladonna felt it only necessary to try and actually hold Luna, or at least hug her so that she wouldn't have to weary herself with flying for extended periods. Because obviously that was a problem... Regardless if it was or not, the witch still giggled and beamed at Luna. "That is so kind, thank you!" Luna approved of Mort! Luna approved of Belladonna dating Mort! Luna thought they were cute! So excited and happy about this, she decided it was only appropriate to give her best kirakira eyes at Luna. And Mort, because she didn't want him to feel left out. But, now that she was paying attention with her eyes so wide, she realized that Luna was offering... Some sort of pretty looking powder! "Oh, oh I want some of your pretty concoction powder thing please!" Except that had definitely been the wrong thing to ask for as the moment she breathed it in, Belladonna fluttered her eyelashes prettily and then fell backwards.

"Ah, thanks," he told Luna with a smile, extricating himself from the witch as the two ghouls bopped heads. "M'no good with public stuff but . . . anything for minipet, yes?"
Or random items too, given that Bells wanted to try out this . . . powder? Dust? Pollen? What was appropriate for a moth again? Either way, whatever it was knocked the witch out cold, and Mort was thankful he was right by her to catch Belladonna from falling. "Mrrr, Sleeping Beautyyyy~ Wakeyyyyy~" He attempted to gently shake her awake.
And got some of Belladonna's powder sample on him.
Mort promptly fell asleep where he stood, his ghoulfriend leaning against him as he snored into her hair.-astrabot response is tiny but yeah owo

Julian opened his mouth to explain. Spending time in a dream world really made one not want to sleep. And on top of that, he'd tried to kill his best friend. Even though she hadn't exactly been his best friend, but she was his best friend and gah! His head hurt and the stupid an... tenn... His mouth closed as he both realized that there wasn't anything under his hat anymore and on top of that, Lumi was off again, a ball rolling downhill, gathering speed as it went. It was all at once endearing and painfully dizzying.
"A boil- Maul? I- Wait, what?" He blinked owlishly as he spoke, trying to hold onto what in Jack's name she had been saying. Come on, piece it together. What had he asked her? Right, he asked how had she been. Okay. So boil, she'd met a boil, made a new friend? She was always doing that. Okay, next topic.
Maul, she and Sin were going to the Maul. She wanted him to come with. Oh, Death... He... would definitely need to talk to Sin one on one before that happened. He needed to make sure everything was okay before then. Maybe it would be best if Lumi and Sin just had a ghoul's day... That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Now, what was the last one?
It had been such a jumble, he wasn't even sure he'd heard it right. But when it all came down to it, that was probably the most important thing she had said.
"I missed you, too..." Julian replied, moving one hand to run absently through his hair. Only his hat was on his head. And in doing so, he knocked it off, sending a cascade of that vile powder down which threw him into a sneezing fit so strong he fell backwards. He barely managed to catch himself with one hand, while he threw the other arm in front of his mouth and nose while he kept sneezing.
"Wait- *Sneeze* I-I *Sneeze* Gimme-sec *Sneeze*" He had more he wanted to tell her, damn that powder!

Lumikki giggled slightly at the look on Julian's face. She would explain the whole meeting a boil thing but it really needed to be explained first. Then again the look on his face was kind of amusing. Ears twitching slightly as he made comment about missing her too. A slight blush on her cheeks really he was able to dischiper that she was going to have to work on that a bit.
"I..."
All thoughts of what she was going to say left her as his hat started to tumble down instinctively she tried to catch it. Causing her to move closer than she had been. She felt a sudden twitch of her nose before sneezing and pulling back away from him his hat in her hands.
"The...(sneeze) powder...(sneeze) in hat?"
She asked inquisitively between sneezes. No wonder he wore the hat those antenna were a pain. Tilting the hat slightly off to the side trying to get rid of the other powder she tried not to smile. He looked so pitiful but at the same time it was funny because she went through it too.

It was perhaps a simple, and yet completely dangerous observation, to notice that Makoto usually did not listen to others no matter their protests once his mind had been set. He couldn't remember much himself. The sounds and sights (all in monochrome, which made it infinitely more boring) had drowned out his focus of the situation. Everything had, for awhile, simply blurred together until the lines disappeared and his mind did not process memories apart from the poppoppop of balloons and Maddy's voice.
But here he was, weaving through the crowds with ease. And somehow, for some reason he could not possibly fathom, he was with Maddy. He vaguely remembered rumbling words into the cats ears, taking him with him whether he'd protested or not. That was the problem with Makoto. Protests weren't ignored - they were never heard in the first place.
The booths all seemed to blur together into a sticky mess of shades and sounds, and Makoto tilted his head, trying to figure out which one to go into next. It was a blessed relief that he'd forgone his normal robes tonight in favor of more westernized apparel, though the tailored suit still seemed to hold an asian influence over it. His hand had loosened around Maddy's wrist, enough that the cat could slip out of it if he really wanted, but when Makoto looked back, for some reason the cat was still there.
It was by pure chance that they ended up in the entrance of Luna's Cuddle Emporium. Makoto blinked, his eyes quickly adjusting to the new darkness. The Sunekosuri's were ignored in favor of the lounge-like pillows. Rumbling, Makoto strode further in, his eloquence only rivaled by the strange glow of his eyes. He had let Maddy's wrist go at the entrance to the small cove of pillows and people lounging about in various dark corners to examine the odd little area. However, his attention only drifted for so long before he turned back to the feline with a smile, extending his hand back to the other, as though asking him for his hand in a dance.
"Lets see what we have here, hm?"
Flight or fight, Maddy. Flight or fight.

It was Maddy's unfortunate nature, that he indeed happened to notice this, after hissing at the boil for the umpteenth time. That last step had nicked his tail, and Jack did it hurt.
He tried not to think about where Makoto might be headed, doing his best to simply not be strung along the ground by the demon's death-grip. Perhaps he had decided to seriously take him up on that cherry trick offer.
Oh Jack no. No, no, no.
A panic welled in his chest momentarily, before he was whisked off in a new direction. Fortunately for Maddy he didn't notice the sign that read Luna's Cuddle Emporium as they passed, or he would have likely ran kicking and screeching from the place. Inside his eyes as well adjusted quickly, and he found himself momentarily mesmerized by the sheer luxury and tastefulness of the room. It was cozy even. He bent to stroke the soft Vaisel down a moment, admiring it's texture before Makoto's wandering figure reappeared in front of him. A regal grin spread the inugami's lips, his hand outstretched.
It was so very unlike Makoto that Maddy hesitated a moment. Everything he knew of the demon told him this would not end well. That even the exquisite beauty of the room before him, was nothing more than a crafty illusion. And yet ... a certain curiosity kept him wavering by the door.
After a long moment, a single dark hand slipped back into Makoto's almost sheepishly. Before he decided to change his mind, he told himself, and gave the demon a curt nod. "Very well Makoto-sama. Let's find out, shall we??" He would never admit that the demon had actually chosen quite well.

Julian sighed as he finally stopped sneezing. His eyes closed and he shook his head once, twice, okay one more sneeze. He finally sat back up, one hand pressed against his right temple.
"Got the antennae, too. Thought the hat'd help keep me from sneezing so much..." Would have worked if he'd remembered it'd been there. Ah well.
Anyway, he needed to say something.
His mouth opened... And closed. His eyes followed suit, squeezing shut as he tried to sort out everything he wanted to say. It was a lot, and... And when push came to shove, he wanted to get it right.
"I... know I haven't been the greatest friend... I left you alone here almost as soon as you enrolled, I've let you down more than a few times, I've had trouble dealing with my own problems and fears and I know it's probably gotten in the way of things. I'm not good at this kind of thing, I honestly have no clue what I'm doing half the time when I'm around you.... But I like being around you. I like... whatever this is. I like you. You've come to mean something to me..." He paused, glancing away as his face turned red and he went into one of his pockets.
"I found this and it made me think of you. I would say you're like my moon, but that's not true. You're better than that, soft and warm and sweet." He took her hand and placed in it a soft blue and gold powder that floated and swirled above her palm, briefly forming the shape of a flower at times. And it smelled beautifully, like... "Like a moonflower."

Giggling slightly as she placed his hat on her head, even with the bulk of the powder out she managed to sneeze twice before feeling normal again. Her ears twitched slightly as she watched Julian carefully, tilting her head to the side she wondered what he was so worried about.
"Friend?"
She mumbled as she listened to him speak. It didn't dawn on her until he held her hand, and placed the powder in her hand. Blinking a few times she looked up slowly,
"Ju...Julian?"
Her mind slowly piecing together what he had said, he felt like he was a bad friend. But what her mind kept swirling around was 'I like you' he liked her? But...but he wasn't allowed to do that. Frowning slightly she looked back at the powder in her hand, she wasn't sure what she was feeling but closing her hand around the powder gently she reached down to her bag.
"I...that is...I'm not good at this either. And uhm...well I uh...that is. Your a good friend I swear...and I..."
She flustered slightly as she finally pulled the scarf she made out of the bag, the small pin still stuck to it, displaying proudly, looking down she held it out to him. Unsure of what to say. She was afraid is she looked at him she'd start crying so she looked back down at the powder in her hand.

Julian looked down at the scarf in her other hand. It was... Had she made it herself? He took it and ran a hand over the soft material, careful, not wanting his talons to snag the fabric. And there was a pin... Her pin?
Still a shade of red pretty close to Capt. Fuzzy's eyes, Julian managed a smile.
"Then we can be not good at this together," he replied and, before he could change his mind, quickly pressed a kiss to her cheek.Quote: * 3* SMOOCH!Partner: Lumiki (Wyntre IceBlade) Attempt: 1 of 3

She watched him from the corner of her eye holding the scarf so carefully. She had thought long and hard about the colours and had hoped he liked them. When he started to blush she figure he found the item that she had been so scared to give him. "I...promise you won't break it..."She wasn't talking about the scarf or pin but rather something else. Too bad her head kind of stopped thinking when she felt the kiss on her cheek. Quote: * 3* SMOOCH!Partner: Julian (Reeshie Hack) Attempt: 1 of 3
