Julian was not about to let Tahki out of his sight, she was his only friend here. He had kept up fairly well at his gliding run. The other student with them (Riley) unnerved him a bit, but he... she... but the student hadn't said or done anything to him, so he just went along with the group.
Until Christof pulled Tahki to a stop by tugging on her ears.
She might be in her natural form, but that treatment irked him on two levels. Firstly as a fellow "shifter." Sure, Harbingers wanted to be recognized as what they were, but try and put a hood on one of his brothers or feed his father a cracker? It was sure to get a demon-sized bird-foot shoved in a very uncomfortable place. And his family was quite imaginative.
Secondly as a friend. It couldn't be comfortable for her, he'd hate it if someone tugged on his ears. And in his natural form he didn't even have external ears.
He leveled a glare on the undead when they'd stopped, feathers ruffled slightly.
"Don't tug on her ears like that." The words came out as a low hiss. He shouldn't really presume that it was painful to her, or to really tell Christof what to do since Tahki hadn't complained or anything... But then she wouldn't. She was too nice.
He looked up and finally saw Sin again. He gave her a weak smile which melted fairly quickly into a concerned and disbelieving frown.
She didn't look okay.

Lucien actually took a gasp at Tybalt's promise. He made a promise to him! He didn't want him to sulk. He could have shown it in a nicer way than telling him he'd go into the water, but he cared! Lucien smiled a little at this, looking at Tybalt's glowing blue eyes.
"You do care!"

As impressed as Riley was with the fight, and as offended as she was with Christof's rudeness, a creeping realization edged into her mind. Malodore wasn't really getting up and brushing off the fight. Was he actually hurt by that wretched box?
She didn't get up, in case she was over-thinking his lack of movement, but just in case..
Did that.. thing.. hurt you? She murmured out, careless to the worry seeping through her thought. Do you want some assistance?
She was briefly distracted by Julian's hiss, blinking to look over at Christof and Tahki. She, too, was a little offended at how her friend was being treated. She kept an eye on the two, ready to step in and say something. She knew Tahki was too nice to stop him herself. Riley had no such problem. For the moment, however, Malodore was her priority.

The others caught up to him, panting around them, but the Hunchback was locked in embarrassment of his feaux-pas. Christof swallowed, glad Tahki had been so cooperative so far, and reached down to try to grab the bell again from the snow. She was a large griffin, and the ground was still far, if he could only reach.... Flushing, he fumbled with his make-shift crutch, trying to scoop it up with the forked end of the stick only to sadly push it around further out of reach. He stretched, and finally gravity took hold, pulling him from the slick fur and feathered back and over a wing and into the snow in a very ungraceful manner.
His scarf fell loose around his neck, his caterpillar mouth worming into an eager, embarrassed grin as he dragged himself upward and towards Sin with the bell, jingling it madly as though trying to get the whole ordeal over with in a sudden shy panic.
Some Knight in shining armor he was...
RING 1 Sin gets a whopping 2HP back.

"Care about what?" He asked, confused at Sylph's sudden mood change. His mood really was like the weather. Unpredictable and changes just as often. Seriously. He should really make up his mind about being happy or upset. Though he was hoping he'd pick happy. It was easier to deal with, despite being a little more clingy.
"Are we supposed to be moving on, or is everyone waiting for something?" He asked, finally noting that the people from his group that were once there, were now gone. Crap! He lost them again! He couldn't use scent to find them either. There were too many people and he didn't know their scents well enough to begin with.

"Lucien," was all he said to reply to the ghost dog. How could he have not known that! He was looking at Tybalt softly, and the more he did the more he noticed that the wreath around the black dog's neck was a lot like a collar. It was cute, but it didn't really suit him. The question finally came up, "Tybalt, why in Halloween do you have a wreath around your neck?"
Of course, he had tangled lights wrapped around his arm like he was a damn XMAS tree but that was besides the point. The lights weren't a third of his body and covering it.
"Hm," he said. "We're... sort of moving. A little. Somewhat."
And they were, but pink elephants and weird toys kept jumping out and attacking them every time they did!

Night continued to follow the smell he had grown quite fond of. One of his best buddies was not too far away, actually the closer he got, the more the smell strengthen the more it mixed with others he might be familiar with. Including that of the crazy doll named Mei-Xiu who liked to make him fish bones.....Ew.
But Tybalt was his friend indeed. Still following the scent, Night could see his ghost comarde not further ahead him and making a run for it tackled Tybalt from behind.
"Tybalt!" Night shouted as he clung to the back of Tybalt though he was pretty sure the dog was going to freak out.

"Just a bit disoriented," Malodore reassured Riley. "We should save our resources until they are truly needed." With that, it finally got up, though its head swam a bit with the movement.
But there was a box to examine! After standing in one place for a moment to make sure its balance was stable, the plague doctor padded over to the remains of the toy and flipped open the lid. "Charming..."

Eventually ridding herself from the snow only to tumble forwards, Astra looked up and saw the black dog Tybalt from before, whom was also with a few others she didn't not recognize. Their talk about moving on was a little concerning, since she was still some ways back. "wait up please! Don't leave yet!" she ran/tripped through the snow to catch up to them.

"Why do I wha?" He started, before looking down at the wreath in question. "Oh that? That's my weapon." If you could call it that. He had yet to use it and was really trying to figure out whether it would be useful at all. "It's the only way I can carry it." He pointed out and lifted his paw to show that couldn't exactly carry it with them. He already had to have Yaya help him with his belongings by making a temporary bag that wrapped around his side. Speaking of which, where was she? Did she head the other way? He wondered, giving the area a quick scan and saw no sign of the demoness. Hopefully she was okay...
"Reaally...?" He gave the Sylph a long stare before shaking his head. They weren't moving at all. If it was because of the elephants, then it was better to keep moving. Staying here would mean they would keep on coming---as well as something else...
Before he could even so much as flinch, the black cat had pounced him from behing. OH JACK! OH JACK OH JACK OH JAAACK!! Night was here too!? "C-C-C-CAAAAT!!" He yelped; jumping about and trying his best to get the feline off of his back. "W-w-w-what are y-you doing here!?" He squeaked.

Lucien nodded. It made sense. He really couldn't carry anything in his position, having no opposable thumbs let alone hands to hold with. He also noted that this was the first time he noticed the bag Tybalt had with him. How clever. He was going to mention something about the pink elephants when he noticed something strange in the distance. He sort of stared at it and before he could say 'Tybalt there is a cat running your way' the cat pounced onto Tybalt and Tybalt freaked out.
Lucien didn't understand why Tybalt flipped out, but he just knew he always flipped out when a cat was around him. This one was on him. Lucien wasn't sure if he should help the black dog or not, but he weighed his reaction and decided to try. He reached his arm out towards the cat and tugged on the cat's arm.
"Excuse me, would you please get off my dog?"

Sin took a deep breath and then blinked as Christof landed near her in a heap. Was he alright? Was she going to be alright? She felt awfully shaky at least her atrocious new outfit was keeping her warm. Then Christof jingled his bells and she felt the shaking subside. Oh yes the bells!
She gave Christof a soft smile "Thanks Christof."
She gripped her own bells and gave them a hard shake healing herself. There at least she didn't feel wretched anymore, much better. Then she spotted Julian and brightened, he looked a tad disgruntled but otherwise unharmed.
"Julian! Are you alright?"

"Demons are flashy by nature, and not always in a good way." She paused to take in Sin's new outfit which did indeed raise a few questions considering it looked more in line with the locals here then it did Halloween town. "Don't worry about it, I had a drunk tree try to cop a feel, I shattered its mid section with a kick."
Turning back to the skullface akshun which was actually now unfolding into actual action Sammy could only laugh. "Sorry Flea Bag, but the dreams over, Shehk is probably going to slap you, Riley here should probably be more then allowed to hit you, and yes, I am here and ready to knock you one good if you don't let Shehk get up. Also when we get back its your turn to watch the Pumpkin, I have homework to catch up on outside of Crickets."
"You heard the girl nuk, let her up or she makes out with me instead of you, and you know I won't be sharing any Pricolici kisses with you." Glancing down at Shehk she made a punching motion, "Want me to hit em a few times? I could use a warm up before crushing some toys."
Glancing back she nodded to Riley and Malodore, "You two okay?"

Night snorted at the usual reaction of Tybalt's, it was the same every time he got near him. Clinging tight now just to annoy Tybalt, Night made a small purring noise as he wrapped his arms around the dogs neck. "I followed your scent here! I can also smell Mei somewhere near by?" Night looked around for the doll but didn't see her so shrugged. His attention was diverted though by the tug on his arm of another ghost, this one had been on his car hadn't he?
"Your dog?" Night slanted a look at Tybalt before snickering and climbing down. "Okay I won't get on him again." He snorted as he kicked a pebble before eyeing the ghost. "I'm Nightengale XIII! Black Cat, Tybalt's best friend." Night puffed his chest at the self acclaimed title and looked over the rest of the cute. My it seemed large, but he was just glad to be around Tybalt and even sad to say, but Mei-Xiu. Too bad he didn't see Simone in here.

The words were reassuring, but the way he stood still after standing had her instinctively starting to push herself off of the dragon's back to go help. The movement stopped just short of dropping to the ground, and she slowly pulled herself back onto the dragon as Malodore began to examine the toy. A quiet reserved stillness settled on her. She looked a little annoyed. She'd all but forgotten about that rude patchwork who was riding her friend, and she laid with her head resting on Jericho's large scaled neck in contemplative silence. The warmth emanating from her large dragon friend lulled her comfortably, but it did nothing to settle the unease that was gathering over her. She checked the parts of her brain that were affected by the inebriation and subsequent hangover - they were all but normal again, so that wasn't it.
Maybe it was just the hectic situation and constant social contact. Sure, she convinced herself. That's what was bothering her. A bit of quiet contemplative silence would settle her uneasy worries. It had to.
But silence wasn't meant to last - Sammy's words had her looking up, and she nodded lightly, but didn't verbally respond.
She toyed with the fluff of her decimated elephant in frustration.
