"Look at that, dat boil is very good. Check the handiwork...yes very nice boilo." Nicky got up, creaking as he studied the beam and then tapped it all over. "Well guess our fun is ov'r, RAY...Get dem scarelings their silva seeds so they best be on there way!" The skeleton practically shrilled at his companion who managed a grumbled, "I dun see why ya gotta scream like a banshee at me nicky, I got ears just the same as you..." and disappeared in the house.
Amphi on the other hand was straightening Roch's vest, she held up her half finished glass of lemonade and some of the fried food she had been munching on until Ray came back.
"We like ta give a little bit more, here's some seeds for ya ride and some food and our lemonade to take home with you. Now that's a little something extra in that lemonade that'll keep you guys warm at nights, further down you go, the colder it gets." The skeleton eyes sparkled as he handed the goods over to Roch and then stared at the couple. "Ya'll make a fine picture, you guys have some scarelings and bring them back us, we be mighty pleased to see ya'lls children." Ray reached over and patted Amphi on the head. "Boilo better make sure that you take good care of this little thing. She looks like a handful but she looks very devoted to you." The skeleton smiled.
Amphi, touched, moved over and hugged both of the old bones, their bones had a slight blush as they waved the two off and then went back to their playful banter.
Once Amphi had said her goodbyes, her hand slipped into Roch's and she leaned into him, smiling up at him. While the idea of scarelings was FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR into the future...it didn't stop the mermaid from wandering if perhaps they would make a adorable scareling?

"Thanks," Roch said, taking the seeds and the lemonade and completely ignoring the scareling crack. He definitely wasn't father material, okay? "Y'know a good diner around here?" he asked curiously.
The other two skeletons--the ones that had been watching in amusement and swilling beer, spoke up. "Big Deaddy's Crayfeesh just round de corner," he said, motioning them on. "No bedder food den Big Deaddy's."
"Cool. Y'mind watchin' my bike?" he asked, although he'd already clamped it. It wasn't going anywhere.
"Shore, shore, it won't be goin' nowhere," the skeleton said, waving him off. Roch tugged at Amphi's hand, pulling her off, intent on getting some real food.

Amphi just smiled happily as she leaned in the boil and walked with him, heading down to the said diner.Quote: Roch....Where are we going too? What are we searching for?

"Not a search," Roch said slowly, heading for one of the tables in the diner and dropping down onto the bench. "I'm goin' home t'deal with... some unfinished business," he told her, leaning his elbows on the table between them.
"If I wanna move on... if I wanna be free of... somethin, I gotta deal with it first. But I'm gonna leave you with Bones an' old Ms. Wheedle while I do the real business--don't don't try arguin' about it now or then, alright?"
How did that come off sounding like their future hinged on this chat? ... Well, he thought reluctantly, in some ways it might.

Amphi followed and slid into the seat next to him, a waitress dropping off the menu and a couple of glasses before mentioning the specials of the day. She lef them for space as Amphi stared at her boilfriend.
A frown instantly etched on her face at the thought of being with strangers. Especially strangers she had only a slight knowledge of.
She looked away from Roch and crossed her arms, the frown deepening. She wasn't some doll that needed to be tucked away when it was time to play with it instead.
She was Roch's ghoulfriend, and there to support him and protect him no matter the dangers. Even though she usually ended up the one in trouble and needing him...she could at least do these small things for him right?
She continued to stare away from him though, only making herself upset by trying to reason just why she should be with him where ever he went.
That would make her a clingy ghoulfriend then.

"Look... I gotta go visit an old friend... and he's in prison," Roch said point blankly. "And it just ain't much of a date, takin' your ghoulfriend t'prison."

She sighed and reached out her hand to squeeze at Roch's. If he wanted to go visit a friend...in...um prison then she couldn't say no.
It was very important to him after all and she was well...she was for once actually in the way. If he felt safer with her at Mrs. Wheedle, then she would oblige.
Hopefully they could find answers about her voice as well.

"Thanks," he said quietly. "And I gotta--um--confess--" And then the waitress was back to take their orders, ruining the chance (and the gumption he'd worked up) entirely. "Um, maybe when we camp somewhere for the night," he muttered as the waitress headed off to get something... crawdad. Whatever that was.
They were on the road again soon enough, driving through another town and stopping in a clearing between his hometown and the last. It looked like a decent place to camp, so he pulled over, waiting for her to get off the bike so he could, as well.

Amphi cocked her head and waited...what did he want to confess? Before he could even do so though, food was placed in front of them and then they were devouring, two hungry kids with a s**t ton of food. She totally forgot the confession as she ate.
And even after that, they were off on the road. Her arms wrapped around him as she half slept on the ride to the next camping spot. Once they had one, she crawled off the bike and stretched.
She was already pulling some of the camping gear off, intent on helping this time instead of disappearing like last time.

The punk boil hadn't forgotten. But he figured that setting up camp came first, and soon enough they were sitting next to the fire. Idly he summoned his guitar, using it more to think with than realizing he was entertaining her. How did he say--
"Amphi, y'know, before I started school I was a serious... problem," he said finally. "I got a record--a pretty thick one, with the boogies. Car stealin, breakin and enterin, a lot of other stuff, too. Hell, if I hadn't gone t'Amity I'd prob'ly be in juvie by now--"

it didn't take long for camp to be set up, especially after Roch took the lead and showed her how to do everything. When they sat around the fire, he was playing and she was happily roasting a marshmellow across from him.
O v O//
She looked up as he spoke and cocked her head, listening. her boilfriend...ah...She didn't know him before Amityville so this was surprising. She knew he was somewhat of a trickster but to have done so many dangerous things? Well...but that was in his past.
But it still made him. She brought the marshmellow up and moved over to sit by him, encouraging him to go on.

"The guy I'm goin' t'see... he had a big part in that. So I'm gonna try and... I dunno, cut ties," he said simply. "But there's somethin' else I gotta confess, and I should do it before we go t'bed tonight. Um... y'know this mornin? Well... I sortta woke up with... um... my hands up your shirt." He flushed and looked down at his guitar, feeling guilty. "I didn't wanna do stuff like that till y'know... you were ready. So I'm sorry."

Amphi nodded and finished her marshmallow.
That explained a lot though. If it was something Roch needed to do...She laid her hand over his and smiled at him. Attempting to ease the comfort of what he was saying.
But from his confession, her face instantly turned red and she looked away...down to the ground.
A small peek up and then back down as she bit her lip. Did that mean...he had like...held her...um...breast. Ah. Her face turned even mroe red but she didn't want Roch to feel guilty! she was asleep so it was okay! Right? This is what couples did? Right?Quote: I don't mind...but maybe next time...um...you can ask so I know instead? So um..yes...

"I didn't know I was doin' it till I woke up!" he said quickly, sounding like a little boil--then he stopped, peeking up at her. "So... can I?" he asked. "I won't ask t'see them or anything--I mean, not yet, I just--"
Okay, now he felt stupid. "I mean, if y'don't want me to, it's fine, I don't--"

Amphi flushed and then nodded. What happened in sleep well...it happened! She continued to turn red and redder and looked around. But if its what boilfriends did....
She reached over and tugged at his hand and then nodded again.
If he wanted too...It shouldn't hurt so it was okay right?
Her face was much redder then usual.
