Seiji let himself be lead around without so much of a peep of protest. Though he did take the lead when his fiance very nearly walked right into another couple. He apologized, laying a hand on Junko's shoulder, and lead her back towards the dance floor. It was as his head was still turned the futakuchi-onna ran into someone else, and he said a soft, silent curse under his breath before brightening up as he saw who it was. "Ah, hey Kettil, Freya." The grin he flashed him was bright, but it grew even brighter as glowing eyes dropped to the babe in their arms. Junko's arms. "Peder is getting big." Then it was pandemonium as Freya caught sight of the ring, and the ghost boil just stood quietly by as the ghoul's gushed. Superficial, but content. This was Junko's moment, and how could he be anything but absolutely happy with how excited she was?

Xavier was incredibly pleased that Helmut liked the corsage, since it had taken him quite a long time to actually pick it out. He'd searched for the flower himself, and then had painstakingly sewed it onto the band, which, for someone that had claws like he did, had taken several needle sticks and a long time. It wasn't perfect by any means; it was a little floppy, but Helmut looked happy with it, so that was all that mattered.
"Right," said Xavier, nodding several times too many. "Yes. Let's go and we can eat and have fun an, erm...yes, other things - eeeeeeaaaagggghhhh!"
He'd run into the same thing as Helmut - something had zapped into him, and he leaped almost a foot, his hand clutching hers, his other arm jerked up automatically to grasp onto hers and hold her steady as he collided with him in surprise.
"W-what - " he stammered, but an earsplitting - and unfortunately familiar - voice from nearby made him whip around and -
Oh. Oh no. Oh dear -
(What was she even wearing?!)
"W-w-w-w-w-w-what - " Xavier squeaked out, casting a stunned look first at Hel and then at Helmut and his face was roughly the color of the flower currently on Helmut's wrist. "C-c-c-ourting, I don't - I mean - w-what do you - I mean w-we're - "

"What a lovely thing to say!" Needle beamed at Siobhan's compliment - and even if it wasn't meant to be one, it was certainly perceived as one. "Siobhan, you are too kind." The Engraver stifled a small giggle. Though the subject was quickly over in favour of a left-field topic, though one that was not unwelcome in the slightest.
"They will?" Needle gasped, pressing her stained purple fingers against her lips as if trying to protect her vocal modesty. In reality, that ship had long since sailed. "We must watch it!" Her lack of shame had no bounds...even with her boilfriend right there. "Can you imagine?" Whatever she had to say after that was drowned out by the blast of music, but it was likely rather obscene.
Though this time, she glanced at Muka, who...wasn't even paying attention for reasons she didn't have to see to guess.
"Would you like to join us? We are about to get some food." The offer was extended to Sio, but clearly encompassed Muka, who had been patient this whole time.

"YEEK-" Helmut almost jumped out of her skin for the second time that minute as a certain someone's loud, imposing voice boomed in the air. She held her heart with her tiny claw, the other one squeezing Xavier's hand so tightly she worried, for a passing second, that she might break it. Then again, he was clutching hers pretty hard too - maybe they'd both walk out of this with broken hands.
But as she stared at Hel in her big wedding dress, and then at Xavier whose panicked face matched the colour of the rose on her wrist, she sucked in a deep breath, and stared at the Reaper with wide, doe-like eyes.
"WHAT'S COURTING?" She yelled to be heard over the music, though perhaps a little too loud.

"BUSTED!" Hel exclaimed, pointing her bouquet at the two of them. Briefly, her eyes strayed away from them to catch an undead ghoul sneaking in --kukuku don't think she didn't notice you, Amrita-- before focusing back on the two...deer in the head lights. Oh. "Eh!?" Hel gave Helmut an odd look, like, how could she not know what courting was. BUT NO MATTER! The reaper would give her a proper education. "COURTING--" Hel started off, a grin now gracing her features. "Is to be romantically involved with another with the intention to marry them!" Her grin widened. "Because, yanno--" Her tone became sing song "Xavier and Helmut sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g, first comes love, then comes marriage--" Hel's tone suddenly went flat as she stared at them seriously. "Scarelings are optional."

If Hel wanted Junko's opinion, she'd tell it to her.

Siobhan delighted in Pop-Star gibberish for the moment with Needle, simply assuming she knew what Needle was saying over the music. Such a lively place! Food was on the table, as it were, and Muka seemed to have a good view of it from his height and... angle. "I would love to! I have not had the chance to see the food offered yet." She glee'd and floated up a little higher to peek over everyone's heads.

Junko is there for Hel whether she asks for it or not. This is what friends do.

Hel was vaguely terrifying. Xavier wondered if there was a way to still enjoy the party and actually get into the party more than two feet before being accosted by the dark skinned reaper in the enormous, floofy dress that somehow resembled those worn at weddings.
(He sincerely doubted it.)
Xavier knew what courting was, but clearly Helmut did not, because her loud question made his face flush - and then, of course, Hel's insistence at explaining only made it worse, and his face was steadily getting redder and redder, his mouth open and shutting, gaping like a fish.
"W-WHAT!" he half screeched, half gasped, still holding onto Helmut's hand. "M-M-MARRIED?!?! B-B-B-BUT WE'RE - W'ERE um u-um w-w-w-w-e - "
He did not have an answer to that, because for one thing, he was trying desperately to maintain his rapidly slipping composure, and for another thing, his friendship with Helmut was the closet one he had, and for another thing, he wasn't entirely sure what that meant because his feelings towards Helmut were both wonderful and simultaneously incredibly confusing and flustered.
Xavier snapped his mouth shut and stared at Hel with a vaguely pleading expression on his face.

"TITUS!" Hel piped up, leveling a wide eyed crazed look to the demon. She stared at him like that for a few moments before she grinned. "Are you blind!? You know what this is!" She then shot a wink at Riyo, because yes, it was awesome.

The lake of course was still on Zaire's mind, as were many other things that the feelings there had stirred up. But he was behaving, for now, for Jory's enjoyment. Because as it was, even though he had asked his boilfriend to the dance, out of the two of them Jory obviously wanted to be here more. Not that Zaire wasn't thrilled in his own way of course, just the quiet monster wouldn't be opposed to sneaking out early for alone time, because they could.
That grin, it could knock him off his feet if not careful. Watching the shorter boil lean up, tanned hands went to ease around familiar hips, holding there gently and letting a few fingers brush against the backside of slacks Jory wore. Zaire blinked and repeated the motion with his fingers, barely registering the kiss as a strange feel of pattern was felt under finger. A curious eye lifted his brow and brought a small roll of laughter laced innuendo into reply, "...I can't..promise I'll be good either.." Feeling the slide of palm to chest, his arms released, then arm curled to meet the one around it.
Glowing orbs kept straying to his date, curiosity evident as the other snuggled a little into his side while walking. Moving along to the drink table via Jory's lead, his tail swung up upon arrival for a sneaky curl around Jory's tail. Curling around it like a hand hold, since they obviously couldn't hold hands while mixing.
The table was decked out with beakers and glass jugs filled with different liquids. Some of them smelled even from the distance he was standing. Slowly his hand uncoiled from Jory's and moved towards one of the jugs. It kind of smelt like laughter, which was odd as it was that he associated a feeling to smell but whatever this was Halloween.
Thirsty enough, and eager enough to rid the taste of metal from his mouth he started to fill one of the vials for his own drink.
"Here goes nothing..." He chuckled to his date, wary of the drink already as he moved to mix in another jar of something yellow. Four ingredients put in and he gave the vial a little swirl around to mix it all up. Sniffing just to sniff before holding it out for a cling of glass towards Joy, drinking with the other boil as he did. Beejoux I just used the ending from the game there here..sooo it makes more sense owo b

Peder agreed with the assessment that he was cute, and let Junko know of her correct response by smacking her on the cheek with his wet, weak little pudgy hand. "OH MY GODS JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO? Does that means I am the first teh knows? IS THIS AN EXCLUSIVE?" Her hands itched to get on her phone. This was her lifeblood, her true calling. She fought every natural instinct to tell Junko's big news to the world, instead of letting her do it. This was a very big deal. "Ach, it's absolutely gorgeous!" She cried out, turning Junko's hand this way and that to let the light hit it in all directions. "Yeh makes sure and takes lots of pictures and shows it off, okay?" Peder had taken an interest to whatever his mother was screeching about as well, and leaned as far back as he could in a vain, and pointless attempt to try and put the thing in his mouth. Freya punched Seiji in the arm, hard. "GOOD JOB LOCKINGS THAT DOWN BOIL!" She screamed out, waggling her eyebrows. "Maybe Peder will has a little friends soon, jaaaa?" TOO SOON FREYA TOO SOON. Freya also did not think scarelings were optional. Perhaps having more than 10 was optional. But probably not.

Titus looked the ghoul up and down his gaze shifting to Riyo and her....were her eyes sparkling? That was a little disturbing. When he looked back at Hel he merely shook his head. " Are you dressing up as a bride or a sad state of desperation?" Okay so Titus had grown up a little. Only a little. His maturity still shined now and again.

Kettil just looked amused at Freya's reaction, "I almost think you're more excited than they are, Freya," he teased his wife a little. Never not teasing Freya.
He cast a glance over at Seiji, "It's pretty nice makin' your ghoul so happy, right?" The Muut let out a small chuckle. He wasn't going to snag Junko's hand as Freya did, but he did semi-obnoxiously lean within Freya's view a little to get a gander before he leaned back again as he proclaimed, "Pretty snazzy!"
