It wasn't like the demon was particularly mad or pissed off at the fact they were there, truth be told. This was the first time such a thing had ever happened to him so he wasn't entirely sure how he even should face the situation. Why in Jack's name would anyone want to break into someone's room was a bit beyond him, but he knew that Carry wouldn't do anything without good reason. He knew he wasn't in any sort of danger from the fellow avarice, so once he got over his startled self and surprise, a little smile curved his lips and he waved a hand gently. His brain was still in utter chaos but his face was schooled to not show anymore of that. It was already too embarrassing as is. "It's all right... Sorry for my reaction. Just a bit startled, was all. If I had known I'd be receiving guests, I would have tidied my room." There were several places to sit but the main clutter was the massive amounts of things to make his kennel.
"Please! Please, take a seat? Is there anything you'd like to drink?" As an afterthought, he went and ran his hands along a panel of wood, causing lights to come into dim being. His eyes weren't ready for strong lights so he kept it light enough to see things properly but dark enough so that his headache didn't get worse. As Carry came to him and gave him the reason for the visit, his head tilted a bit before he accepted it with a smiled thanks. He liked things that were limited edition and unlikely that many others would have it. Gave more people reason to envy his taste and sense of style. opening it, she could tell he was very pleased... mainly because he had a look in his eyes that said he wanted to try it on. Right now. And get the outfit all together instantly. He was just insane like that.
Instead he curbed himself and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. "Thank you very much, dear heart. I'll treasure this always."
Luka, now that he could see all was now well, went back to heartbubbling and licking under LW's chin. He liked this new ghoul; she smelled nice too and she was cuddly warm!! His large ears flicked a bit as he started to howl out a happy sound and unlike most animals of his type that could sound annoying as all get out, his voice was melodic and (shockingly) nice to hear. His tail and head swayed from side to side as he continued to 'sing' his song and Livi chuckled. "This is his hello morning song. He has a feed me song, a I wanna walk now please song and... um.." it was obvious the boil still wasn't awake properly. "Oh yes. The cuddle now me song. If you take too long in giving him his request, he'll headbutt you." He nodded sagely before he rubbed his chin a bit. As far as he recalled, Luka should have enough chocolate covered bacon left... despite making his head pound worse, he was behaving rather well.

If Carthusia didn't know better, she'd be mimicking Luka and heartbubbling herself into a mushy puddle on the floor. She'd be sunrise and sunset colored goop. A stain, if you will. A swooning, ridiculous stain. She shook her head to relieve herself of the sensation of falling and instead focused on how much Livius looked like he adored what she brought him. LW, her partner in crime, even chimed in to say that Livi should be complimented with women trying to beat down his door! How true indeed! That gave the demoness a bit more confidence about the whole fiasco. "You don't have to get me anything, Livi. I've already had breakfast. But..." Pride turned to the werewolf who was utterly engrossed in Luka and the darling one's singing. "LW was nice enough to assist me, so I should definitely repay her somehow!"
The avarice demon paused in her explanation long enough to return Livi's peck on her cheek with one of her own to him, moving one of his loose bangs from his forehead to around one of his great horns. Turning back to the werewolf, she started to explain, "Now, like I was saying earlier, we could exchange an agreement of sorts. If you promise to help me when I need it, then I promise to assist you to the best of my ability. There's a marking associated with it so others will know who you have the agreement with. All we have to do is agree and shake hands on it."
Now, Carry wasn't really noticing how much (or how little) LW was paying attention to all this, but she thought her explanation was sufficient. A demon giving out a marking was an important business and had procedures to follow. She'd also heard something about paperwork, but she'd get to that after the deal had been done. That way, she wouldn't get in trouble with the administration. Besides, it's not like one was playing servant to the other - it was a mutual contract instead. One of the best kind, in Carry's opinion.

LW offered Livi a smile, but refrained from sitting. She would never leave if she ended up on the floor snuggling with Luka. And she WAS supposed to go visit Gabe today. Not that she was in any hurry at the moment. The foxsquirrel just kept stealing her heart.
"I'm alright, thanks though." The she-wolf replied to the offer of drink. She really was too distracted for a drink. Or to pay much attention to any words really said.
Especially when Luka stole her heart. LW squealed with delight, stupidly huge grin on her face when Luka proceeded to...SING! OHGODCUTE! So effing cute. Could she just...stay here forever? Be adopted by Livi? Soooo cute...
"He sings multiple songs?" LW gasped out, staring at Livi with wide eyes for a beat. Then she was crooning softly to the foxsquirrel, utterly enjoying his song. It was pretty. And reminded her of the times she would sing back home with her brothers.
Carry was speaking to her, but the words weren't really registering. The she-wolf heard name and glanced towards the demoness but never heard the whole explanation given about what this 'payment' would entitle. All she heard was "agree and shake on it".
"Sounds fine to me. I'm game. So just shake on it?" Yeah. Luka had all of her attention right now. She'd hopefully understand what she got herself into later.

It was quite amusing to Livi; seeing how attached LW seemed to be to Luka. The same thing had happened with him when he had gained his the foxsquirrel awhile back. He had been so little at shivering that, at first, the envy demon had been unsure if he should keep him or find some place better for him to survive at... but the pet swayed him over and Livi couldn't dream of letting him go. He could be quite the handful but he was adorable and Livi had never felt so wanted before til he met Luka. So seeing how LW was made him smile in amusement and understanding. Getting another drink for himself, he nodded as he watched squeal. "Yes, he learned them on his own. Took me a few headbutts to figure out what each one meant but it keeps him happy. I have no idea how he's able to do that... I wonder if it's just something they can all do. Foxsquirrels, I mean."
As Carry brought up the mention of marks, he looked down at her, wondering if that was a good idea. Though it was true that marks couldn't really harm anyone (well... if left unattended too long it could become a problem) but there was now paperwork, thanks to Barth and Christof. So much red tape now it was rather stupid. "Well, if you wish to repay her, I can't tell you not to. A favor for a favor is always fair. And it is the demon way."
Luka was loving the fact that LW was crooning to him and as his song neared its end, he flailed about cutely before he yawned widely. He should still be asleep and since he was all nice and snuggly warm, sleep was trying to get to him again.... before his stomach rumbled loudly. But he seemed amused by it and chortled gleefully.

LW was only half-paying attention.
This could be a good or a bad thing.
"I heard there's paperwork, but I don't mind that. Besides, if I don't do it and someone higher up finds out... I'd rather we didn't get in trouble with the administration."
Carthusia mentally shrugged. LW didn't seem to be the type of student who would cause problems on purpose. Plus she had a great deal of skills Carry herself didn't possess - lock picking being one of them. All in all, it seemed like a good idea, and it would be an agreement based on mutual respect rather than servitude, which made the demoness seem like she was helping the monster more than anything else (to most demons, anyway). Carry smiled and nodded her confirmation. "Yes, that's right. You shake on it, and then if you need me or if I need you, we'll know about it. It's a fifty-fifty type of an agreement. Does that seem fair to you?" Carry held out her hand and waited for an answer.
If anything, befriending a werebeast might open some more doors for herself and Livius. LW seemed personable and probably had a great deal of friends they could be introduced to, which meant more possibilities for alliances and so on. No matter how she looked at it, Carthusia thought befriending the werewolf was an excellent venture, both socially and in terms of business. "Are you going to do to the Scarentine Dance, LW? Livi and I are going~ He's taught me to dance. Can you believe it? Wasting his time on little old me." She made it sound as if Livius was put out by being around her, but really it was intended to boost him up in the eyes of the werewolf. Envy teaching Pride to dance was like community service, in a way.

"I dunno." LW said, half there. "I have a foxsquirrel too, but I've never heard her sing before." Though she didn't pay quite as much attention to her foxsquirrel. That could be why. Maybe she needed to remedy this? Especially if she could sing like little Luka here could! Oh man she had to look into this now. It would be so fun to sing and dance with the little foxsquirrel~
"Shake. Right. That is easy enough. Sounds like an even agreement to me." LW moved towards the demoness, a little part of her brain starting to sound off warning bells. Why did this make her think she had been warned against...something like this before? Trying to recall who had said this failed as Luka's song ended and he flailed around a little. And that yawn...was his energy finally depleted? He has sooo much of it.
Nuzzling the foxsquirrel again, LW's hand slid easily into the demoness' in a firm shake and then her eyes lit up at the question of a dance, completely unaware of the fate she has just sealed for herself. In fairness, there were a lot of distractions here.
"Oh you better believe I am going!" She gave them both huge grins. "I loooove dancing so much. I don't care if Gabrian takes me or not, I'll still go. Just to dance. With whomever wants to." A pause. "Though going with Gabe will be exciting. I've never had a date to a dance before." Violet eyes turned to Livi and eyed him. "Did he now? How sweet of you! How good of a dancer are you, Livi? Can I steal one dance from you at the Scarentine Dance? If..." now her gaze shifted back to Carry, "Carry doesn't mind." Another pause. "What are you wearing, if you don't mind my asking?' Oh hey! LIVI! He was the fashion expert. Why hadn't she thought to ask him for advice before?
"I will definitely have to find you both and see how lovely you look at the dance." Her tail swished a little in excitement and the small light burning she felt against the inside of her upper thigh was shoved to the back of her mind. Carry's mark was now etched into the she-wolf's skin, to be discovered when there were NO distractions around. Hopefully.

"To be honest, I can't say if it's a typical foxsquirrel thing or not, but I think it'd be an awesome habit if it is. Some tunes he learned from listening to me practice my viola. The rest, I'm pretty sure he made up on his own." Luka's head kept shifting from side to side, like he was trying to figure out what was being said. He got a good portion of things Livi said to him but other times, he just didn't get it. But for now, things seemed to be happy and fun and that made the foxsquirrel happy.. so he gave a wolf whistle. "That he learned from Carry here." Livi was still amused by how quickly Luka took to making that sounds.
When talk shifted to the dance, he chuckled gently at how eager the two ghouls got about it. He wasn't sure what it was that was so awesome about parties, as he had grown incredibly tired of him thanks to his mumra, but he'd never voice that out loud. If Carry wanted to go, he'd take her. And he'd find some way to enjoy it, he was pretty sure. When the two ghouls looked at him and he realized Carry was talking about the dance lessons, he laughed a bit shyly and waved a hand. "Please! You act like teaching you was a problem! I quite enjoy our lessons very much. And you're a fast learner. I'm very impressed with your progress. Next we'll be learning the tango." Scratching his chin lightly, he chuckled a bit at LW's question. "I'd like to say I'm rather good at it. No one's told me I'm bad at it." Though he wouldn't have bothered remembering that even if they had, anyway. "I wouldn't mind dancing with you at all, Miss LW. I'm most curious to see your style of dance."
"Well, I'm going to wear this shirt Carry so tenderly gifted me." He showed LW the contents of the shirt box. "The rest... I'm still pondering but I'll make sure it's acceptable. There's no way I could ever dare to bring embarrassment to my Carry." Or to himself, but that wasn't said. "Did I not give you some advice on groanspring once, Miss LW? I believe you and I are to go maul shopping sometime with Miss Alessa. And I can't wait to see you and gabrian there myself." Gabrian was an interesting boil and though he's meant to see if he'd want to hang out sometime, he tended to forget to ask "Perhaps Gabrian could come along or something. Or we can make it a group deal." That would be an odd experience for him, but he had to admit the thought sounded quite enjoyable indeed. "I'm quite sure you and Carry will look amazing. If I can make myself passable, I'll be pleased."

Carthusia giggled as the two of them talked foxsquirrel and dancing and fashion. She knew Livius had his skills in dressing oneself and others, and dancing and manners and the like, and LW was very good with lockpicking, stealth and dancing herself. But what skills did Carry have? Well... she didn't want to think about her embarrassing lack of skills at the moment. No, she was more than content to watch the two of them chat. Livi was much too humble for his own good, she thought - he was good with so many things, how could he not be proud? She quickly pecked him on the cheek in admiration.
"No matter what you wear, I know you'll look stunning. It's what you do! You wouldn't be Livi if you didn't look gorgeous all the time, even when sleeping!" Another girlish giggle. Of course the two of the girls had to burst into his dorm while he slept. How else could you get demonic points otherwise? LW was wrapped up in it too, but she seemed to not mind it in the slightest.

Her head tilted to the side a little as she glanced between Luka and Livi. "Huh. I will have to investigate this later, when I get back to my room. I'm very much curious now if all foxsquirrels can sing to some extent on their own." She grinned at Luka. "But you'll still have the best singing voice, in my opinion." There was the adorable wolf whistle again! And carry had taught him that?! LW grinned at the demoness. "That is awesome."
"The tango." LW giggled and felt a slight itch against her leg, but just brushed it away as nothing unusual. "That one is fun. I have to admit I'm not the best at it. At least the normal version." The she-wolf added with a mischievous look to her eyes. "Well that is a good thing then! It means you are a pretty decent dancer. And if you've taught Carry here some dancing, I bet you're better than you give yourself credit for." She winked over at Carry and gave Livi a warm smile. "I'd very much like to have a dance with you."
Violet eyes scanned the shirt nodding in appreciation. It was definitely nice looking. LW had to admit that when it came to this sort of thing, she was at the lower end of the the food chain. She didn't know what to wear. Except that she should probably wear a dress. And LW hated dresses. "I just hope I don't embarrass Gabe." The she-wolf sighed and nodded in response. "Yeah, you gave me some advice. Which I've kept in mind and plan on using soon." This didn't mean she was prepared for this dance yet. Ren. Ren would know what she should wear!
Hearing Carry, LW giggled as well sharing an innocent and totally devious smile with her. "Yes! Yes we are to go to the maul. And I think a group outing would be fun. Gabrian could come. And Alessa has to because she and I need to find cute dresses and accessories. Ren should come too, because he'll pout if we go without him." LW giggled again. "And Carry needs to try on outrageous outfits with me." This was sounding like so much fun! And LW was finally starting to feel a little more excited about this dance.

Luka wasn't sure what most of the conversation was about but he did seem to get that other foxsquirrels were being mentioned and an ear perked. He had always been curious about others like him and was always on the lookout for more friends. Friends were very good, right? And fun! And.. and... many things! Licking his chops a bit, he looked at his master with big hearts for eyes, hoping Livi would a: pay attention to them, b: understand what h was wanting and c: give him his snacks before he had to leave the pretty lady's arms. That was something he didn't really wanna do right now. Could he go home with her? He knew the way back home... well as long as it was within the demon dorms. Luka still hadn't quite grasped the fact that there was more than one dorm... least not yet anyway. Thankfully, Livi was a bit more mentally aware so, after a bit of a raised brow, he went and grabbed the red bag that carried his snacks. "Yes yes, I see the look. Here, ya silly beast. Now please remember that my head is not your sleeping pillow, hmm?" But there was a smile on his face as he settled the bag on Luka's tummy, so LW could give him the snacks if she wanted to. "Would you mind giving him a couple? It won't calm him any, but it should make him not wanna go on a headbutting frenzy.
"And if other foxsquirrels can sing, I'd love to hear it. Sounds like an interesting thing to research to me." A smile curved his lips at the tango and he chuckled a bit knowingly. "The normal one is a bit tricky. The fun one is.. well fun. She'll hopefully learn both but there's always time and it's not like there's any need to rush, least I don't think so." It pleased him that LW wished to have a dance with him and even as he went back to wrap an arm about Carry's waist, he bowed a bit from his waist. "Than I can't wait. And I doubt you'd embarrass Gabe. He seems a rather amiable fellow to me. I'm sure he'll like anything you wear."
Luka yipped excitedly about maul and going out, words he very well understood and he kicked his limbs carefully as to not dislodge the bag, but clearly show he wanted to go too! Take him take him!! "Personally, I'm not accustomed to large outings, but there's a first time for everything, yes? And it sounds too fun to not try. Perhaps after the dance,w hen things have settled down a bit, maybe? Then we can speak to them all and arrange a time where everyone's free. What say you, Carry? What's your desire in all this?"
