Their covering shifted first one way, then the other as Jove turned his head from side to side, and Mathias was sure that at any moment the laughing would begin. Because it was funny, right? The tough little wolpertinger with a surly attitude could be so disarmed just by a pretty face alone, tamed and made into a slave should the ghoul wish it. To others, that was likely hilarious, though to Mathias, it was anything but. But there was no laughter, only silence, and the wolpertinger was about to peek upward to get at least a hint of what his silent friend might be thinking when the other boil leaned in and head butted him, a gesture that warmed something inside of Mathias, one that made him feel at ease and much more comfortable. He did look up then, and he gave his friend a tentative smile from around elongated fangs. "Is silly, nah? Vould be most happy if no longer issue. Vent to all boil's school before here. Vas no problem then." And then, eyes flicking up, and back to his glowy eyed companion. "Jove, is it very er...conventional to be staying under jacket? Must look strange from outside."

Had Jove been more vocal, he might have shared his own problem. Which was worse, falling in love at first sight, or flying into a panic at a mere tap on the shoulder? Whether it was silly or not, laughing was out of the question. There was a chance the pup didn't even know how. Now, if they could make the girl thing no longer an issue... Jove had just grabbed another spookie, his expression rather distant and lost in thought until Mathias mentioned the jacket. And now that he thought about it, it wasn't very conventional at all. Nor was it as comfortable as one might think, lying across a table like that. The pup frowned, and gave his friend another long look, as though making sure it was really safe to remove the jacket. But he didn't see anything that made him worry, so he pushed himself back off the table and dragged the jacket along with him. It only took one shake of the head after he had pulled the coat on to fix his fluffy, tousled hair, and then he grabbed another spookie. If Mathias wanted more he had to help himself quickly, there wouldn't be any left soon!

No laughter was a blessing, and one that Mathias was thankful for. His attentions once again went down to the plate of spookies as Jove continued to eat them one after another as though he just couldn't get enough. Mathias had thought that they were good certainly, but he wasn't in any hurry to shove them down his throat the way that Jove seemed to be. He reached out and stabbed at the center of one of the few left with his index claw, dragging it off of the plate and across the table towards him, getting a little bit of a kick out of imagining the spookie had been some prey that he had just managed to spear, and was now about to devour. So focused on this was he that he actually didn't really notice that Jove was pushing himself back, and with him, the jacket went as well. It drug across his antlers, forcing him to duck down lest it get snagged, and the static it provided made strands of his hair stick up in all directions, though thankfully most of it was tied back so not too much muss occurred. Mathias glanced back up when the coat was gone, lifting up his spooky to nibble on it thoughtfully, wondering what Jove thought of his situation, if the other boil thought less of him because of it... He shifted in his seat, as though uncomfortable. Sometimes he just wished Jove would say something, so he didn't have to do all of this guessing and worrying. Maybe the fact that the other boil was still there, offering him a plate of spookies, said enough, though. Maybe now that the explanation was given, it would just be best to move on. Subject change time. "Did not know ghost could eat spookies." Or any food for that matter...He gave his friend a critical eye, his gaze narrowing as he leaned forward and looked him up and down. "Does not seem healthy. Vould you not get fat from Fear sugar?"

Jove was pleased to see his friend managed to keep hold of his senses, even without the jacket. There was a significant difference between thinking less of someone and being worried about them, and the little pup was that much more protective when he perceived his friend as being 'younger' than himself. At least when it came to schooling. There was no point thinking in actual years, most students had him beat in that area anyway. One fluffy ear swivelled forward when Mathias spoke, the other remained quite like a little satellite dish, turning this way and that to listen to whatever was around him. He wagged his tail. Ren had gone through the same phase once, just because ghosts didn't have to eat, it didn't mean it wasn't enjoyable! As though demonstrating this ability, the pup licked the crumbs off his fingers. It was only upon glancing upward that he realized Mathias was giving him a weird look. What was with the scrutiny all of a sudden? Jove leaned forward as well, putting both elbows on the table, his returning stare only broken once to glance at the spookies. And then... He snorted with amusement. Ren also said it was unhealthy, but there was no reason to worry about his weight. In this form he weighed all of ten pounds soaking wet, and under all the ribbons and lace and layers, you could see his ribs. If he was going to get fat from eating too many spookies, it would have happened a long time ago.

As long as Mathias didn't look up and around the room, he was going to be fine. So, he just kept his eyes locked on Jove, using the other boil like an anchor to keep him grounded in reality. It was awful, not being able to look around, to see who else might be in the cafeteria, to be constantly paranoid about who's gaze he might meet, and to not be in control of his own emotions anymore when he did end up being vamboozled by the beauty of the opposite sex. To put it not so eloquently. It sucked. Big time. Jove, as usual, answered his questions without speaking a word. He was okay with that, as a lot of the time Mathias had an easier time understanding actions anyways, his own language barriers interfering in some cases. He grinned when the other boil licked the crumbs off of his fingers as if to make a point, and even barked out a laugh when Jove snorted at his second question. "Vould make sense, I am supposing. I do not have same er...luxary?" He said the word like he wasn't sure it fit in the sentence, but then deciding it worked, he nodded. "Vill have to go to gym, vork off sugar. Vould not vish to become fat and slow. Maybe ve can spar again sometime?" He suddenly sounded very eager, eyes brightening as the question was asked. "Vill even more easy on you this time." He said, his eyes narrowing mischievously.

It was easy to imagine Jove was smiling on the inside, and although it never quite turned into a smile it was still there in his eyes. He usually felt uncomfortable having someone looking so keenly at him the way his friend was right then, but considering that's what was keeping him in his right mind, it wasn't so bad. The direct eye contact was not a challenge, so he had no reason to worry about it at all. The pup's ears turned forward at the mention of the gym, it had been awhile since he had actually fought anyone. Probably the last time was when he had been playing with Mathias for the first time. And then an idea came to him. If the wolpertinger had a problem with girls, what about... a girl who wasn't exactly a girl? Jove nodded enthusiastically, until Mathias began to look like he was up to something. Then he stuffed another spookie in his mouth quite indignantly, ears perked, tail curling up behind him. Who was it who would be taking it easy on whom this time around? Unless Mathias caught him on another off-day he was at the top of health, and possibly full of sugar-induced energy. They would definitely fight again, and Jove would show him a real fight this time!
