Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lattice thought she felt tension now? Once Herryk pulled Circe into a hug, Lattice would feel the tension run all up and down Freya's body, as she tensed every muscle. Her eyes thinned to slits as she glared the ghoul down, watching. Waiting. Possibly hissing. One couldn't be too sure with her.

Freya's eyes flickered up to Herryk, the tension fading in them as she quirked a weak smile in his direction. "Yehr most wonderful ghoulfriend? Herryk, how many ghoulfriends do yeh has?" Was she making a joke at a time like this? It was probably the only thing keeping her from killing the ghoul who had her hands on Herryk.

Okay, so Circe wasn't at all ready for the bear hug that Herryk gave her and when she was sat back down on the ground she looked a bit confused at what had happened. And then she remembered Freya was there and decided to play along. Her arm gently wrapped around Herryk's huge muscles as she looked at Lattice. "Hello Lattice!" She said with a large smile and a all to happy tone. Her bow confused her a bit and it led her to let go of Herryk and return the bow in a very awkward manner. "I like your umm needles." She nodded, trying to figure out how to converse with the ghoul.

A frown surfaced on her face for a brief moment as Herryk said Freya was his most wonderful ghoulfriend. Was he serious? Were these two possibly in love with each other? That was a possibility. And if it was true she would probably try her best not to flirt with him, but, right now she wasn't sure and thus let the flirting continue. "Yes I know Freya." She said, gritting her teeth a bit as she looked at the ghoul. "I met her in the land of couches." Circe said with a exhale. "How did you two come to.... date?" Circe asked, not sure she really wanted to know the details.

Edited this bit in.

Her attention was taken away from Freya when she felt the sad stare coming from the boil who was obviously being ignored. "I'm Circe!" She said, smiling once more. "Who are you? What's your name? What do you like to do?" Maybe that was a bit to much to ask at one time, but she felt a surge of energy and sadly had rode the wave. It probably would have been better directed at Freya, but oh well. To late now.

Herryk patted Circe on the hand as she wrapped her arm around his own. He gave Freya a very strange look. What did she mean by that question? Herryk wasn't sure, so he just gave an awkward laugh. He only had one ghoulfriend, and that was Freya. She was his beloved, his only love, and her question kind of startled him.

"Herryk and Freya started dating at the very end of the field trip." He cleared his throat and kept giving Freya vaguely hurt looks -- it was obvious he just wasn't getting it. With his free hand he rubbed his chin before he glanced down at TG. The imp was busy making puppy dog eyes at the ghouls.

Herryk rolled his eyes and fell silent.

Freya did not register Herryk's hurt looks, because she was too busy glaring very pointy daggers at Circe. Until, of course, those eyes burrowed into her soul, and she melted faster than a snowbank in June at TG's display.

Hook, line, and sinker.

"Awwww, nooo.." Freya coo'd, bending down to her knees and holding her hands out for TG. "Nobody is forgettings yeh, little reddy. Yeh just upsets our friend for a second, and we're very protectives of her. Now comes here so Freya can gives yeh a hug and makes it all better."

Was her voice just a touch more sickeningly sweet because of her twang of jealousy over Circe hanging off of Herryk's body? Perhaps.

"I-It's true, they are! Um. Last time I saw, um, Neil, he splashed me. In a swamp. And we both fell down. It... might have been an accident, though? He's just kind of... weird." Anna said, by way of ghoul solidarity. "I don't think he thinks a lot?"

She tentatively reached out and patted Ri-Ri's shoulder.

Ri-ri offered Anna a smile and sniffled but it seemed her brief moment of waterworks had ended. When Anna patted her shoulder she practically tossed herself onto the reaper ghoul in a hug. Anna's 'emotional senses' may have picked up the innate rage and sorrow contained in the ghoul's petite body. She was young and had little idea how to control something that basically defined her species.

"Thanks. Boils are so careless. They NEVER think. What do they say? Can't live with em but you can't roast them on a spit either?" Was that really the saying? "C'mon wanna get some food at the food corpse?"

Ri-ri's eyes darted finally to where Neil and Siobhan were talking. She gave Siobhan a look and tossed her head, indicating for the ghoul to come over. If Neil came that was his own decision.

Siobhan was right. He needed to say he was sorry but it was more complicated for the gimblewolf then anything. Mostly because he'd said his true opinion. The fact that Ri-Ri took such heavy offense to him struck hard though. The more he learned about ghouls the more confused he got. Though, no one would ever guess how confused the canine was with how he carried him self. The exterior was toughened. But on the inside, at least when it came to a ghouls feelings, Neil was soft.

He may have stared a little too long at Siobhan as he contemplated exactly how to tackle this issue.

"We should probably go check on Ri-Ri and Anna." Truthfully, he was surprised that it was Ri-Ri who cried. Maybe he didn't know Anna well. Well, DUH, he didn't know her too well. But from the two brief encounters he'd written her off as sensitive. Maybe there was more to her. He dug his hands back in his pockets. "I think they headed for the food corpse. Come on. " He started off that way the whole time his nose moving as he sniffed the air. You didn't have to have a sensitive since of smell though to find the food corpse. There were signs all over the mall directing one just to that point.
