Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Shiiiiine," Nahm cooed, and went so far as to emerge from behind the table long enough to envelop the zombie ghoul in a hug. "Good to see you, screechheart! We got candy for you." He grinned widely. "Who's your pretty friend?"

Gabby looked frosty as usual, his hands in his pockets and his gaze leveled thinly at Nahm. He nodded his head once, jutting his chin out in place of a proper greeting. "A pleasure to meet me, I'm sure." He murmured, the hint of a smile kissing one side of his lips.

That is, until Shine introduced Nahm as a special kind of friend. Seeing as Gabby wasn't aware of their arrangement, to him that simply sounded like Nahm was higher up on the hierarchy of friendship - and this was unacceptable to Gabby. Completely, utterly, preposterously unacceptable.

"What?!" There was actual surprise in Gabby's voice, lilting higher than his usual cold monotone. "What do you mean by that? I am more special than him. Look at him, you can't even see him, he may not even have combed his hair this morning! I'm the special friend here. Me." Gabby leaned in and gave Nahm his most serious face ever. "Me. I'm the special one."

Minis prizes sent!

Gabby thought Nahm was going to pick a fight with him, and after that Marzena incident, he was itching for it. So when the boil came closer, Gabby tensed and almost started to grin, waiting for the first fists to fly - instead, his world was shrouded in darkness for a few seconds as Nahm's hood shaded him, and he was very firmly kissed.

KISSED. NO.

Gabby jumped back, sucking in a sharp gasp before putting both hands on his mouth in an expression of utter scandal. "Oh, no no why did you do that, damn it. I'm definitely not supposed to be doing that. Oh, you are going to - you are awful. Terrible. I already told your friend that I don't - and now you've gone and - I am telling, I am telling Efflo, I am going to find him and tell him and he is going to be so mad, oh no, oh Jack, oh this is terrible."

Half of the conversation wasn't even at Nahm, as Gabby walked in circles trying to talk himself through the fact that he was so going to get s**t for this. He turned back to Nahm, wagging a finger desperately. "And I didn't mean I wanted to kiss you when you - "

And then it clicked.

He went silent, and then turned, eyes wide, at Shine. "You?" He jutted a thumb at Nahm. "And him?" So what was what special friend meant.

His voice started to lower from the high pitched anxiety riddled tone it had been in the entire time, and his face began to cool from the uncomfortable blue blush that had flooded his cheeks. He suddenly looked crushed. "Efflo is going to be so cross."

This had all become incredibly confusing, a continual spiral of one undesired result after another. When Gabby recoiled and began to speak, Shine hunched her shoulders and willed herself to become invisible. As she was a zombie and not a ghost, this was a bit of an impossible feat, so the only thing that she managed to accomplish was an incredibly awkward appearance.

It all might have been salvageable, had she not found it so necessary a moment ago to blurt out all of those things in their defense, including the fact that she had no qualms about him being that kind of friend if he wanted to be. Now her intentions might come off all wrong, or she might seem really pathetic, or he might not want to talk to her, or they might not be friends at all. And the idea that he might tell on her, as misinterpreted an idea as it was, terrified her so much that she abruptly burst into tears.

She gave Nahm another hug, brief and grateful, before ducking under his arms to quickly escape into the crowd.

"Ah. Shine - " Nahm didn't grab at Shine, because even if he was worried, he didn't want to startle her. Instead, as she slipped away, he turned a somewhat less amused look on Gabby, waiting to see what the dragon was going to do. But the boil looked genuinely worried and guilty, and hastily excused himself to go after Shine.

Nahm nodded a little, satisfied, and returned to his spot behind the table. He'd still give the zombie a call later, just to be sure he didn't have to go eat someone, but Gabby didn't appear to be that much of an a*****e. That settled, Nahm sidled back over to Merry and caught her tail to toy with the bright feathers on its tip. "Good thing for me not all the cute ones are taken," he chuckled.

"A booth with two games in it. Well lets start", Shadow said with a grin.

Shadow picks a lollipop and it has a red dot on it.
