Gloom let out a noise, a soft snuffling sound, and pressed his head to hand. "Gloom can do that." The shadow marten shifted then, very delicately making his way to her shoulders. "Y'should stand up and keep a hand on Gloom."

"Ummm, okay," Lily blinked, shuffling to her feet. The weight of Gloom on her shoulder was comforting, in a way that made her reconsider asking for a ride home...but she remembered the acrid smell of smoke in her nostrils and knew better than to try and push her luck. "Ready when you are?" she said incredulously, resting a hand on the marten's back.

Gloom nuzzled at her cheek, a small comfort from the shadow marten. "Start walking and think about y'safe place," he told her.

Lily nodded, then took a cautious step forward, taking it slow to make sure that she didn't knock Gloom off on accident. As she settled into a comfortable gait, her mind began to wander, first towards her apartment, but those bare walls and dingy hallways brought her no sense of home. Instead, her thoughts meandered as she scanned her memories for places of warmth, and she found herself thinking about tea time on Nasir's roof, curled up on his hammock under the stars, listening casually to the ambient life that happened whenever he lit up a room. It wasn't her home, per se, but it was more home than she'd ever been in that apartment, or with her mother or anyone else.

The shadows thickened as she walked, darkening and swirling around her. They raced out from their hiding places in the dark places to greet them both, Gloom seemingly calling to them with an unspoken command. Soon they were surrounded but they were warm, friendly and curious. Lily would sense mischief above all else. Still her thoughts guided her feet and as the shadows cleared away, as if a breeze had come through, she was standing with a far more solid black as pitch Gloom on her shoulders on the roof set-up of Nasir's home. The hammock was there and swung briefly in the breeze. "There," he said, "y'safe place."

Lily couldn't even say she was surprised--the moment she stepped onto the roof, her shoulders relaxed and she let out a soft sigh. The rain had stopped in their transit to the other side, and she swore she caught the hints of something that Nasir was cooking downstairs. True to form, one of her water bottles from the gym was sitting in the hammock, left there on her last visit. Home at last. "Thank you, friend," she said warmly, nuzzling his fur with a cheek. "I owe you gas money, or maybe lunch sometime."

Gloom gave her a nuzzle and hopped off her shoulders to swing on the hammock there. It rocked with him in it and he looked like he was enjoying that. "Lilyfriend is welcome but owes Gloom nothing. Gloom likes helping." There was a brief pause. "... but Gloom does like tastykakes." Someone had a sweet tooth okay.

"Hah," Lily chuckled, crossing the distance to her usual perch on the hammock. She sat down slowly, to keep Gloom balanced on her shoulders, and when she was settled she began to scratch him softly behind the ears. "I'm not sure Nasir has any, but I'll keep that in mind the next time I go to the store." Softly, she began to rock in the hammock. It felt good to be home. azuredreams We can fade here if you'd like?

Gloom was purring again once Lily was scratching again, stretching out across her lap a moment later and clearly meaning to linger with her. "This is good too," he said. For now the shadow marten was content where he was keeping a fellow noodle company for a little while longer. AMItotic SHADOW THIEVERYfrom lily gloom has taken some of her uncertainty in regards to being a moonwalker. she doesn't need it, not when she can be a strong noodle for others!
