Now the demon was confused. Didn't need friends? Everyone needed friends. Though maybe she was just that cool. The demon looked at Riyo in awe for a moment, really taking in her cool. Charlie was cool but he still had friends. Had he met the meaning of cool right here?
"Woooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww." Escaped him as he just stared at her.
"Seriously bro? SERIOUSLY? You don't need friends? AND You don't swing? Are you like a cool god of some sort!" The idea of begging Riyo to do anything had wandered off and now Charlie was filling that void with amazement. He knew this student wasn't a god but he was just so amazed. Charlie spread his wings and hoovered a little so he was eye level with the demon cat.
"You really ARE that cool aren't you."

W-wait. Now what was he doing?
Was he... Admiring her? While Charlie was busy being in awe of Riyo, she was a little dumbfounded herself. So... Being a lonely, crotchety b***h was cool in his mind?
Well jack damn, that made her the David Hasslehoff of Halloween Town. "Cool? Y-you think I'm cool because I don't have friends?" What a twist. Everybody else just rolled their eyes and shrugged their shoulders at her. This was completely new. Never before had she been defined as some kind of god for her anti-social ways. "Kid. If your definition of cool is being alone, than I'm some kind of ice demon. I haven't had friends since I was five." Holy crap. What should she do about this? Play it 'cool', or tell him straight up that being alone was nothing to be proud of?
"So.. Out of curiosity, why do you think that's cool?" The answer was C. Put off making the decision.

"You know your like the lone ranger that comes in to town and shoots everything up and then saves the day but then carries on your way and then you get the ghoul at the end... or boil. Or some times its just sad and you end up kneeling before a grave or something. Or your just batman," The demon had said all of that in one breath. He didn't seem to be struggling for air or anything. Nope, Charlie was just fine.
"Thats why you must be cool. Your a lone wolf, a lone ranger. Your a hero right? Just passing through with your coolness and then ready to pop out and save the town." Charlie landed and jumped back from Riyo holding his hands up as if they were guns.
"Stick em up partner," Then the demon spit.

So Riyo's life had somehow become an old western story.
Wow.
"I'm... Really no hero." No, if anything she was the villain of her own story, but it felt nice to be seen in a different light.
Charlie's mimic of an old cowboil managed to lighten the feline's spirits, if only a little bit. "But if that's the way you want to think of me, I suppose it's fine." Hey, Riyo needed an ego stroke every once in awhile just like everyone else, so why not?
Just for effect, Riyo held up her own fingers and pointed them at Charlie. "Bang, I guess." Such conviction.

Riyo was mimicking the pink haired demon and even pretend to shoot him. Charlie went along with a "UGHHH you got me!" mixed with some over dramatic death noises, and gurling before he fell to his knees.
"I-I there really is only room for one cool loner in this play ground. T-tell my cactus that ... I - I never loved him and... and... was just growing him in my window for the juice.... and that I .. UGHHHH," Charlie fell over face first and spread eagle. He was quote on quote dead.
But he stayed like that for a really long time.

That... Had actually managed to make the ghoul laugh. It was a short laugh, but a laugh nonetheless. "Bravo. Award winning performance." Sarcasm, but at least it wasn't mean-spirited as usual.
At first the overwhelming childish behavior had grated on Riyo, but it was starting to amuse her. The compliments had probably gone a long way. "Here." She spoke softly and offered her hand down to the boil. It was a gesture the feline usually avoided, considering how much she disliked physical contact, but that performance deserved an award, she supposed. "Should I bury you on top of the hill so you can admire the stars from six feet under?"
Great, now she was getting into this half-hearted role play. "Or should I cremate you?"

Charlie sat up at the word 'cremate'. Not because he was scared at the thought or anything but because he'd never heard it used before. He gave Riyo a confused look.
"What does cremate mean?" He hoped it meant 'Charlie gets a treat'. He'd like a treat very much yes please thank you.

Why had Riyo expected him to know what that was?
Sighing, she stuck her hand in her pocket instead of holding it out to him long enough to explain. "It's where somebody takes your corpse and sets it on fire so you don't come back as the undead and take revenge on them. Then they collect the little ashes that are left of you and put them in a jar as a memento. Usually an ugly jar." She tried to explain it in the most simplistic way possible. Definitely not 'Charlie gets a treat', though.
"Any other questions while I'm answering these brain busters?" She could answer questions until dusk if she wanted to... Unless they were really stupid questions... Which might just happen.

"Nah I think thats it." Charlie scratched his head.
"Actually... what kind of jar? Is it some cool vintage ugly or is it just normal ugly. Normal uglies ick but vintage is in ... I think?" He had heard that some where at least. Charlie didn't actually know what was in and what was out really ever.

Riyo had been ready to leave with her things when Charlie confirmed that he was out of questions... Until he managed to find another. "Well." She started in irritation. "I suppose that really depends on how much the person hates you. They could put you in anything from a retro jar to... A pickle jar." Now there would be an insult. Especially for Riyo. Not that she'd be able to complain in such a situation.
"Alright. I'm going back to the dorms." Best not offer the option for more questions again, lest she be here when the moon rises and waste the day. "Don't get killed and shoved into a jar." Or do. It really didn't matter. Starting her forward path again, she glanced back to the fallen angel cautiously, wondering if he would follow her again.

Charlie frowned at Riyo a frown that could possibly rival on of her own. It would have been serious if it werent for his betraying eyebrows. The way they were tilted up like a sad puppy just didn't make the frown all that serious. At all.
"H-hey we can go back together! We're both demons!" Charlie flicked his horn. The horns were what really confirmed Charlie to be a demon. His pastel color pallet really took away from anything demonic about him... except the insane smile he some times got.
A long sleeved hand reached out to Riyos. "I'll keep you safe kay?" He gave her a small smile.

Riyo had done her best to avoid looking back at Charlie, but one glance was all it took to catch the big puppy dog face he was making in her direction. Dear sweet Sally, it was a sad face that rivaled Mitsu's.
"... Go back together?" She repeated his suggestion with a raised eyebrow. Wait... He WAS a demon. Oh Jack help her if he was somewhere near her dorm like Deacon was.
But what really bothered her was when she felt the sleeved hand take hers. Tensing up, Riyo was about to pull away when she noticed the almost child-like smile on his face. The ghoul could feel her insides churning with the desire to pat him on the head and walk him home. Damn the starved feminine side of her. Damn the fact that, as much as she tried, she couldn't NOT care in some capacity. "... Fine." She spat out, practically slumping over and losing her good posture. "As long as you don't tell anyone about this." It made her feel a little bad for how hard she refused Mitsu and all her tries to befriend the cat ghoul. Maybe it was because Charlie was aggressively friendly and the shy lycan was so passive...

Her answer got a huge smile from the demon. He had no idea that Riyo was really struggling coming up with that answer and just how rare a chance he was having right now. But the demon was still very much pleased for the company.
"Okay. Lets go back to the dorms then. I won't tell anyone ~" He wasn't sure why Riyo didn't want him to tell anyone but then again he hadn't really thought about it.

Riyo couldn't deny that it felt nice to see someone smile like that because of a decision she made, though inwardly she refused to let it show. How much did she believe he wouldn't tell anyone? Honestly, she didn't, but the feline supposed she could always call him a liar if he did spill the beans.
"Don't get used to this, either."
