"I... jack, Danny, I did a lot of thinking while I was there," he said, taking the chair instead of sitting on the papasan with her. "I don't think I should have gone as hard on Yin as I did," he admitted. "But... I don't know what I should do about a lot of s**t, right now. Danny, do you feel funny right now?" he asked her abruptly. "Like suddenly thinking I'm cute, or wanting a hug for no reason?"

Danny frowned at her friend. Clearly he was upset about something, but she couldn't quite place what he was upset about. He kept bouncing from subject to subject. Was he mad about Yin? Thinking? s**t? Wat.
She could at least focus on his question. "Um. Kind of? I don't think you're cute." Regardless of any status effect, Danny would NEVER think Roch was cute. Maybe attractive, a little more masculine, but not cute.
"The hug thing yeah. I kind of want to just curl up on your lap right now." Honest was Danny's forte after all. She did too. His lap had never looked more comfortable. EVER. EVERRRRR.
She shook her head though. "But then I remember how gross you are," she said with a grin.

"Yeah," Roch said, frowning. "Somethin is DEFINITELY wrong right now. I noticed it when I was talkin' to Taryn, too," he told her. "Whatever's goin' on right now... I sort of think we shouldn't be alone until it's all over. C'mon, if we gotta keep talking let's go somewhere there's lots of people."
He stood and started for the door, expecting her to follow.

They shouldn't be alone? Why? Danny looked around the room, looking for an answer. Was something going on that she didn't know about?
Either way, he was making his way towards the door, and she was going to follow. She'd follow him anywhere like the puppy she was. Although, that was the same even before ...
"Where are we going?" she asked, curious. He had only just gotten back, and she wasn't going to leave him; not unless he wanted her gone. Her eyes flicked towards the ground for just a moment ... and she saw his hand. She looked at her own hand as she trailed behind for a moment or two. She missed holding Rikki's hand ... maybe if she just held Roch's ...
Wait no. Roch's hands were weird and nothing like Rikki's. They were all gnarled from playing the guitar and everything- Plus it was Roch! Aughhhh no. No no no.

He shoved his hands into his pockets. "How about Spooks?" he asked. "Wait, you already ordered pizza... okay, we'll go eat outside, how's that sound?" he said. Like a picnic. Weren't picnics supposed to be for people dating?
Definitely not with the way he ate. "Hell, we can offer some to passerbys, or call up some pals to join us, whaddaya say?"

Danny nodded. Eating outside sounded nice! It was still sort of early in the afternoon, so it was okay. She nodded with his assertions about the pizza, and continued following him as he talked about meeting up with people.
"Whateeeeever you want Roch," she purred, smiling. At the moment she was busy focusing on the brown tiles in the hallway- she was attempting to hop from brown tile to brown tile without touching any other ones. It was very strenuous!
Eventually she tripped up and landed on a white tile, cursing a little under her breath and stumbling a bit. "So where outside are we going?" she asked, in an attempt to distract herself. Apparently she was very nit-picky tonight. To be fair, Roch's whereabouts had been on her mind QUITE a bit in the past week.

"Wherever the most people are," he said, not looking at her. His attention was straight ahead. This wasn't good, it really, really wasn't good. If it was like this with all the ghouls he knew, he was going to be in a world of hurt very quickly.
"But I had a rough week," he told her. "I might wind up just hangin' out in my room a lot, relaxing, healing, sleeping. Definitely wanna sleep."

Danny noticed Roch not looking at her and was a little hurt. Was there something wrong with her? She wasn't sure what she was going to do if Roch didn't like her ...
He quickly distracted her with talk of himself. "You mean the reaper boil's school? What'd they do that was so bad?" She got the obstacle courses and stuff, but ... well Amity had those too and it wasn't THAT bad. She actually kind of liked them sometimes. Clearly the ones they had at the reaper's school couldn't be that bad.
A small gnome came running down the hallway with three pizzas lifted over his head, followed by a lumbering gorgon with a red pizza hat looking very disgruntled. "GIVE THOSE BACK, THOSE ARE FOR VALUED CUSTOMERS!" she hissed. The gnome just laughed and continued barreling towards Roch and Danny.

Roch rescued... the pizza. The look on his face as he stared at the boxes, it was astonishing, a bit baffled with pure love gleaming in his eyes as he pulled them away from the crash.
"It's okay, darklin," he told the pizza, ignoring Danny, the gnome, and even the pizza delivery gorgon. "You're safe now."
Wait... wat?

Danny mumbled, "You are so weird," but it seemed her insult was lost in Roch's pure love for pizza. He just kept talking to the pizza. Really? He was picking a pizza over her? Part of her wanted to burst out laughing at the deranged pizza-loving boil, but another part of her was a tad ... jealous? No. That couldn't be.
Well she wouldn't have any of that. Danny snatched all three pizzas out of his hands and started streaking towards the doorway out of the reaper's dorms, giggling. With one hand she pushed the door open, and with the other she secured her pizza goodness.
"Mine now!" she called out behind her, not even bothering to check if Roch was following her. He inevitably would.

"Bring her back!!" he bellowed, chasing after the fire demon that had just gotten in the way. "We're IN LOVE!!!" He shadowstepped, stopping beside her and taking the boxes from her grasp. "This is meant to be, jackdammit, no one will ever part us!!"

What. Whaaaaat. Danny knew Roch liked food, but that much? Well ... it wasn't like she was going to judge him or anything. Actually, she was rather happy that Roch had finally found his true love!
It didn't stop her from being a jealous little witch. She came to a hault as Roch appeared beside her and stole the boxes. "Hey!" she called out, "Disappeary-stepping isn't fair!" She frowned. This was her pizza, and her Roch! ... Wait no. Not that last one.
So instead she settled for tackling Roch to the ground, sending the pizzas flying out and hitting the ground a few feet from where they were. "Love or not, I'm eating them!"

"NOOOOO!!!" overdramatic gesturing and slo-mo time as he watched the pizzas go flying, unable to grab them because she had tackled him. "Why, Danny, why?" he asked, tears threatening. "Why did you ruin my love??"
He pushed her off and headed for the nearest fallen box, falling to his knees. "I'm sorry," he said, his head hanging in shame. "I'm such a b*****d."

Now this was just getting stupid. Even Danny could tell this was stupid- THAT'S HOW STUPID IT WAS.
She walked right over to him and kicked him- not hard, just nudging. "Dammit Roch, it's just pizza!" Was there a hint of bitterness in her voice?
Right in front of him, she reached down and pulled out a slice of pizza, eating it in front of him. "Now eat some or I'll burn the entire damn box." With that said, she sprawled out on the grass, her t-shirt riding up ever so slightly. Grumpily, she muttered an addition under her breath, "And you're not a b*****d."
Jackdammit, he left for a week and her head was in a tizzy. Clearly Roch needed to stay put. She couldn't handle this Roch withdrawal. Yes, withdrawal. That was exactly what this was.

"You will be missed," Roch told the pizza sadly before taking a slice as well. He still looked a bit bummed as he finished it off--the pizza, not the slice. "Danny, I don't get love. I don't think I wanna."
