Welcome to Gaia! ::

He let out a sigh of relief, thank Jack she had said everything. Efflo would never have been able to choose just one or two things, everything looked so good it made his mouth water. The boil reached into his pants pocket, pulling out a small bag of seeds. He liked adventuring as much as the selkie did, it seemed, as that was where the majority of his seeds came from.

“Okay,” he said cheerfully, smiling broadly at her. He handed her his seed pouch and stretched out his arms. “I’ll carry everything, and you use whatever you need from my seeds to pay for it.”

And he’d try not to eat everything before they got out the door. The keyword here being try.

Efflo stared, as box after box was stacked into his arms, unable to believe that all of the food they contained was theirs. What a feast!

“Thank-you. And of course, we have to eat all of it. That’s why we bought it right?” he said to Sibyl as he shuffled out the door, having to turn sideways to get through. “A picnic sounds nice, but um, I don’t have a blanket or anything on me. Can it still be a picnic if it’s just on the grass?”

He followed her to the park, glad that she’d chosen somewhere close. Even after a short distance, his arms shook a little under the weight of the boxes. They had bought a lot of treats.

Efflo sat down beside her, setting the boxes down carefully between them. “Okay,” he agreed, pushing the top box towards her. “Ladies first!”

Efflo stared. The cake Sibyl unveiled was orange and yellow and white – and looked absolutely delicious, better than spookies, if that was even possible. He wanted to just dive in like he had with the spookies but well, now he was sharing and shoving his face into the cake probably wasn’t the nicest thing to do. It would be tasty though…

He settled for swiping a little icing with his finger. Efflo licked it off, pausing a moment to consider. Yep, it tasted a-ma-zing. Sibyl should really try some, he thought, suddenly realizing that sharing wasn’t all that bad. This was kind of fun!

Scooping up some more icing, a lot more, until his palm was full, he held his hand out to the ghoul with a grin. They didn’t need utensils; they had hands, didn’t they?

Efflo had scooped up some more for himself, and he laughed when only a portion of the offered cake made it into Sibyl’s mouth. “You missed,” he said giggling, reaching to wipe the icing off of her shirt. The only problem was that he forgot his own hands were covered in icing and cake.

“Oops,” he said, sitting back, frowning at the mess he'd made, “Sorry, Sibyl!”

She knew how to wash shirts, right?

Efflo, as per usual, was sans shirt and his breeches were hopelessly dirt-stained and torn. What was a little cake on top of everything? Needless to say, he didn’t mind the falling crumbs that fell from his own mouth; the cake was just so good! He chomped on one of the little candies, staring at Sibyl thoughtfully. Then he got an idea.

“Hey Sibyl… Think fast!” He lobbed a glob of icing at her playfully, laughing.

Efflo tried to flee as Sibyl flung herself at him, "Noooooooooo"

But it was too late, as the selkie transferred the icing he'd thrown at her back onto him. Efflo guessed he deserved it, as the ghoul rubbed her sugary cheek against his. He couldn't even be mad, he was too busy feeling silly and uncharacteristically jolly. He blamed the sugar.

The brownie he'd grabbed before Sibyl sought her revenge wasn't nearly icing coated enough to retaliate. He shoved the rest of it in his mouth, cheeks puffed out and full of brownie, and reached for another box. Aha! He'd discovered the cupcakes, covered in oozy-gooie icing and gummy worms.

Picking one up, he pulled back and grinned at Sibyl wickedly, promptly proceeding to gently mush it onto her nose, worms and all.

Efflo had his hands up to his face, ready for retaliation and he blinked when none came, staring down at the mess of icing and cupcake in his lap. That was definitely going to stain.

“You missed, Sibyl,” he said looking up with a smirk, picking out one of the gummy worms. He held it up curiously. Efflo was fairly certain that since Sibyl had eaten one, they weren’t real worms, but he owed it to his parasitic friends to check. He squeezed it between his fingers, watching it squish and deciding that it was definitely edible. The boil popped it into his mouth a chewed, chomping noisily as the gummy surface stuck to his teeth.

He fished for another one, trying to brush the mess off of his pants in the process. Finding several, he grinned a the Selkie, then tossed them at her, one by one, aiming for her hair.
