Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I shall do my best," he mumbled, refusing to give an outright promise not to slap the other boil. Though he supposed if he did that he still knew countless ways of injuring him without slapping him a single time.

Then Miss Danny was touching his face and trying to be comforting. It hurt to hear her like this, and rather than push her hands away he reached up and covered her hands with his own abnormally large ones. "I know I am not of much use Miss Danny, but should you need a willing ear I am here."

"I do not know about relationship troubles," he told her honestly. "But it is important that you are yourself. Your decisions are yours to make, and if being with him made you miserable than..." than what? Than it is fine to just terminate the closest bond that two people can have? he refused to tell her that. He backtracked a bit, hoping that she would not notice. "You should be able to do what feels right and will make you happy."

He really had no idea what he was doing trying to communicate with a ghoul with relationship troubles (or lack there of). "You are a very nice ghoul Miss Danny, and there are several who care for you and would like you to be happy."

"It is natural that you would miss him Miss Danny." Was it? It made sense that she would. He had missed Alexander when he had thought they would no longer be friends. Not exactly the same but if he had missed his friend surely she would miss her chosen.

He was torn. He did not like the reaper boil, but he had grown up believing that one was with their chosen for eternity. Deciding to do something completely inappropriate he sat down next to her and awkwardly patted her on the back. "Perhaps," he said slowly, "you should talk to him about it. What he said was not right, but perhaps you could still be friends with him if he still means that much to you." He thought back to his own recent fight. "Sometimes people to do not understand one another's actions until they talk about it after it is finished."

He nodded, making the appropriate noncommittal noises that signaled that he was listening throughout the story. "Is he the type that would leave for no reason? Perhaps something important came up." He hated what he was doing, defending the boil that he would still very much like to punch in the face, but right now it was not about him. It was not even about the reaper boil. It was about Miss Danny and he did not like to see her like this. She should be cheerful and carefree, this was bizarre.

"The note did say that he would be back did it not? This will be good, you can have some time to clear your head. Maybe there will be an event to go to that will take your mind off of this."

Great, he had just made things worse by being too confusing. "You know just...think about other things. Do you have a hobby that you enjoy? You were part of the music at the school play were you not? I do not know of any events, but perhaps if none are planned we could come up with something to do. Or you could get together with some ghouls?"

Ghouls sounded like a great suggestion. He was not a ghoul, and maybe if she was focused on ghouls she would not think about boils, and therefore Rikki. He was doing pretty good at this whole advice nonsense.

Action was something that he could handle. He stood happily, grateful to be getting off of the bed. He was halfway to the door when he realized she had not said where she wanted to go to.

And he really had no good suggestions.

"You will have to decide where you would like to go to Miss Danny, but perhaps you would allow me to give you a piggy-back ride to your destination?"

Yin assumed the position and waited for Miss Danny to mount him before taking off, making sure that her door was shut and leaving the dorm at a decent pace. It was not until they were headed to the school gates that he posed his question to her.

"What is a taco? And where can we find its skull?" He simply knew that he had never heard of such a thing, so it was probably off campus.
