Welcome to Gaia! ::

Titus smirked a bit but quickly hid it behind a look of disdain. He wasn't about to let Hel see that he was amused by her antics. At the demand to go faster, though, he was only too happy to oblige. "As you wish." The fact that she was standing wasn't much of a concern to him. Though his Uncle would probably be upset if he dissipated his pretend ghoulfriend before they even managed to get to his house. "Mind the curves!"It was the only warning he gave as he floored it and sped through Amity toward their destination.

Because of the speed it wasn't a terribly long drive but having to stop so that Titus could get a speeding ticket had held them up a little longer as well as the lecture that he had Hel had both gotten about driving so recklessly. Titus just nodded where he needed to, shrugged, and said nothing really as he was given the slip of paper that ended up wadded up and thrown behind his seat with the airbag after the Boogeyman left.

When they finally arrived Titus pulled into the driveway of a large gothic Victorian style home, a spiral garden set in the front with some rather wicked looking trees. He parked the car by the front door and climbed out soothing his messy hair before he looked back to see if Hel was following. "Try using the door this time. It has a handle."

Again Hel seemed to ignore the existence of a door. At this point Titus wasn't sure if it was out of ignorance or just the need to piss him off. Most likely it was the later.

With a sigh he ignored it, however, and headed to the door. He was just about to raise his hand and knock when he felt something suddenly latch onto his arm. When he looked down he found a Hel and he wanted to ask what the hell she thought she was doing but he knew better. It was time to start pretending. Jack help him.

Trying to keep the eye twitching to a minimum Titus knocked on the door and waited......and waited. When no one came to answer he knocked again staring at the door almost uncomfortably. A few more minutes passed before he pounded on the door in frustration.

"Alright, yes, I'm late. Ha ha. Can you let me in now."

The door finally opened then and Hel would be greeted by the sight of a stout older demon. Broad shoulders, curled horns, and a very round middle. The man had a beard but it did nothing to hide the broad smile on his face or the obvious laugh lines he had gained over the years.

"Well, I didn't except ya to be early." He beamed reaching for Titus and pulling the boil into a hug whether he wanted to be hugged or not. Titus didn't seem to be a fan of the gesture, his posture stiff and his face contorted like he was in agony. "It's good to see ya." He patted Titus roughly on the back before he released him and set his eyes on Hel. "Well, then. You must be Hel. Ya didn't tell me she was such a lovely young lady, Titus."

"Y..Yeah....it must have slipped my mind." Titus muttered as he was all but shoved aside by his uncle so that Hel had a clear path into the house. The nightmare demon stumbled, flailed, and went staggering off the edge of the porch into the bushes.

His uncle took no notice.

"My name is Morpheus, please make yourself at home." Inside was just as big but the decor wasn't quite the same. It was brighter somehow and each room was full of random things from all over. It looked like Morpheus liked to travel.

Morpheus caught the snort and smiled all the more. He liked a ghoul with a sense of humor. "Oh, I'm sure he doesn't say a blasted thing about me." But that only made the man laugh all the more. "Please, come in. Tell me about yourself. You're a reaper are you not?"

While his Uncle showed Hel inside Titus was still struggling against the battle with the bushes. He emerged sometime later, his hair newly askew, his clothes disheveled, and leaves peppering his person. He brushed himself off, muttering lowly in French as he stepped back up to the porch and reached for the door only to find it locked.

"Merde...." He rested his forehead against the door wishing he could just knock himself into unconsciousness and sleep through the rest of this get together.

Morpheus seemed rather enthused to listen to Hel's story about herself prompting her with more questions as she went on. It was only when she paused and noticed their lack of another individual that he smiled. "Ah, he's still outside. Best to let him stew a bit. It always makes dinner more interesting." He could hear the faint knocking sound coming from the door and grinned wider ignoring it a little longer.

"Besides he's never brought a girl over before I wanted to meet the little lady that managed to capture his attention." The knocking finally grew a little louder and Morpheus rolled his eyes. "Alright, I'm comin'." He turned and opened the door only to find that Titus had been knocking his head against the door and not his hand. The nightmare demon had managed to wear a decent sized red spot on his forehead. "Why are ya standing out here for? Ya should be ashamed of yourself for leaving your date with an old man like me. I'm likely to steal her away."

"I couldn't.." Titus pointed at the door before bringing his finger up to point at his Uncle. "You locked...." And then promptly paused at the last bit. "What...."

Titus was actually a little stunned from hitting his head against the door. It was a state that worked against him as Hel approached and cupped his face and pulled him downward to her level so that she could plant a kiss against the spot on his forehead. A deep red blush crossed his cheeks as his eyes widened and he seemed too stunned to move at first. At least until the door comment came up.

Scoffing he pulled away, brushing his shirt back into place like nothing had happened though the scarlet tint to his cheeks said otherwise.

"Well, aren't you two quite the pair," Morpheus laughed, closing the door as soon as Titus entered. "How did you two meet anyway?"

Thankfully, this question didn't catch Titus completely off guard. He had something planned out in his head, though he hadn't exactly ran it across Hel before hand. Oh well. "We met during a field trip to the beach." Close enough, it had been the trials. Not....entirely a lie. "She had been pining after me for a while. Rather persistently and -"

Somewhere along Hel's new version of how they had met Titus managed to pull away from the hand over his mouth. "-To tell me how I stood out above all the rest." His own hand reached around to cup over hers as he tried to continue with his version tweaking it as he went.

"It wasn't quite love at first sight she had a knack for being a loud mouth and a little obscure but eventually she -"

Titus made a face as he felt Hel's warm wet tongue touch his hand and pulled away abruptly. It only served to screw him over in the end as she continued with her own version of the story. Frowning he reached over awkwardly, unsure what to do for a moment. His arm jerked back a couple of times before it finally rested on her shoulders and brought her roughly into a side hug to silence her.

"-Finally she told me she couldn't take it anymore! She wanted to see me more often, I mean who wouldn't." His Uncle even looked skeptical but he smiled and said nothing as he let the two of them continue. "I didn't give in right away but who could say no to that determined look in her eyes and the way she-"
