Riley gave Sammy a quick squeeze. All to myself, thanks. She chuckled out. Though I do consider you a friend.
The idea of Sammy punching Braum in class strangely pleased Riley. Perhaps it was just that violent nature bubbling up from within, but if Braum was so open and honest about his disgust, then a punch was only what he deserved. She wondered if he had learned more than just the lessons the professor had attempted to instill upon them that day.
When Sammy revealed that she had seen a blush, however, Riley's amused expression faded. One brow cocked, and her eyes slit dangerously. I most certainly did not blush, she growled out, while blushing. She silently cursed her body's unconscious reactions to stimulus she could not control.

Sammy melted into the hug returning it with a chuckle, she had nothing to say to that, she was glad to be Riley's friend simply put. Even if she was a demon she was a good one (well as good as one could get).
The image often played out in Sammy's mind, if the Ithilid bothered to take a look she would see slow motion scenes of Braum flying backwards from the impact of a fist to the face slowly howling in pain among other horrible wounds Sammy would have chosen to inflict on him. Sadly these would never see the light of day.
Of course these happy thoughts were cut short at the mental sound of Riley's growl coupled with a lovely shade of eggplant on her cheeks. "Riley, I'm on your lap looking dead at you; I hate to say it but you blushed." Her eyes seemed to dance with an all to familiar glee again. "Someone... has been thinking fondly of a doctor lately?"

Alas, it was not yet within the Illithid's power to snoop within another student's mind if it was not purposefully open to her, so she did not see the scene that cropped up in Sammy's memory. Had she, however, she would have been proud.
Riley was most definitely not meeting Sammy's eyes when the ghoul tried to catch her gaze. She could not deny her blush, as it had gotten dark enough for her to physically feel the heat on her skin - but she didn't seem quite fond of exposing her weakness to the plague doctor just yet. Shush now, she hushed Sammy softly. Whether or not I happen to hold a fondness for someone is .. well it's.. not.. She suddenly realized that hiding her feelings was just making her stumble and sound weaker than if she had been honest from the beginning. She steeled herself, and looked into Sammy's eyes with determination.
So I have. What of it? There now, being honest felt much more powerful.

The blush was rather cute in Sammy's opinion, it was amusing even but she didn't laugh at it. That would be rude and she couldn't quite blame the poor girl. Shehk was the same way when one mentioned Nuk around her. "Not someones business? No not always, but when among friends no harm in saying so." Sammy didn't quite see it as a weakness either, to her this was just gossip and fun, she would never really use Malodore against Riley in anyway.
Suddenly Riley locked eyes with determination causing Sammy to raise her brow at the sudden rock solid response. "What of it? Well..." she tilted her head pondering how to go about the next thing she said. "I wouldn't frown on it, I'd be... envious for multiple reasons. I wouldn't be mad or anything and I certainly wouldn't make fun of you, if I wanted to make fun of someone I would tease Shehk or Nuk about their little 'denial of relationship' issue."

Riley hadn't meant to sound so cold when she responded, she was just.. a little insecure about looking weak. That, in and of itself, was weakness enough. Her eyes softened as Sammy explained herself, and she tilted her head curiously.
Envious? She repeated curiously. I don't understand. Her eyes crinkled in lieu of a smile when she mentioned teasing Shehk and Nuk, and she nodded in agreement to that.

If Riley thought showing signs for Malodore was weakness then she was was in a world of fun for what Sammy was feeling right now. "Envious because well... to be frank, I do find what ever Malodore is... interesting I have a soft spot for something else." Leaning in slowly she pressed her lips to the side of Riley's cheeks, they were fairly warm by undead standards, soft even as they gently kissed her cheek.
"I may just have soft spots for attractive ghouls who have a decent head on their shoulders?" Blushing was hard for her, but right about now their was certainly some color it would seem to those dead cheeks. (Some what a blessing really, she was ever so lucky it took so much to even get a hint of color going in her skin thanks to how coagulate her blood was.)

Riley blinked, though not quite surprised or shocked at the kiss on her cheek. She did not take such signs of affection as heavily as others might. You mean me, I am assuming? She chuckled faintly. Well, then. I'm touched that you have a soft spot for me, and your compliment does not go unnoticed. She, of course, meant the compliment concerning her head. It was the only one that mattered. Though you shouldn't be too jealous of Malodore. While he may hold my heart clenched firmly in his clawed embrace, it is without regret that I admit he has no desire for physical affection. You, however, can have as many hugs and give as many kisses as you wish. She squeezed Sammy fondly once more as proof of this admittance. Riley had no issue with giving others the physical affection they so dearly craved.

"No I meant that little monster of a pet you keep that likes to hump legs; of course I mean you." She laughed leaning back to get a good look at the other ghoul tsking. "He's missing out on the whole physical affection thing." To make her point she prodded Riley's stomach once more. "My case in point."
Curling into the hug again she could only grin at the offer, "You mean that? Because I lost Shehk ages ago; I think Nuk might attempt to steal my arm and bury it if he ever catches me hugging Shehk or even looking at her the wrong way."
It was true; Nuk made that threat quite often if they ever got into a debate.

Hm. She let out a breath of a chuckle. I don't know if I would agree, but I understand your position on the matter. She just barely refrained from tacking on that the kind of affections Malodore gets from her are, in her opinion, far superior to anything the body can produce. Her blush, however, did not refrain from cropping up at the thought of their kiss.
Of course I mean that. I certainly don't know why Nuk has such a problem with you hugging Shehk. I believe it has something to do with his own insecurities on their relationship. That, however, is clearly all Shehk's fault - but he should not let those insecurities blind him.
And for a moment, Riley's intellectual facade dropped, and with a wink she very plainly said something that sounded like it came from someone else - specifically, Israfel. She wants him.

Sammy could only laugh as Riley blushed again, she was thinking about something that clearly stirred her up in some manner, in response she simply gave the girl a pat on the cheek.
"I'll tell you why; he loves her and he's a dolt, a dolt with good intentions." She chuckled softly again. "No Shehk is fine, Shehk is just; a bit nervous about the fact that Nuk is so enthralled by her? I don't know; Shehk is having trouble admitting she loves it."
Leaning in with a grin she whispered the famous tag line for the two: "Skull face akshun."

Spending an entire night cooped up in a tent together while slightly intoxicated had certainly gotten Riley on the side of the skullface, and she lifted up her hand, fisted, in a show of solidarity. Skullface akshuns, indeed.
I tend to wonder if there is anything we can do to assist in the matter of helping Shehk be more comfortable with Nuk's affection. I think they would both be much happier if they simply allowed themselves to feel whatever it is they feel. Trying to hide your feelings only makes things worse. The corners of her eyes crinkled affectionately. You're a perfect example. You're very honest with your feelings, and all the better for it. No?

Slowly a bone fist would pound the purple fleshed one with a wicked grin. "Skullface Akshuns."
"Honestly, I don't know how to help but slowly ease Shehk into it; but that will take a hell of a lot of time since she is rather shy about the whole 'Nuk being possessive' of her." She only smiled shrugging ever so slightly. "Only you, and Tahki, honestly know how I like well, Ghouls. It's nice to be honest about it, but I can only wonder how much the school might talk about it..."

Riley, for once, had very little idea on the matter as of yet either. Then perhaps it is Nuk who might need a bit of working on. If being possessive is turning her off.. a more subtle approach might be in order. She tapped her finger to her chin while she considered this, but returned her gaze to Sammy once the conversation switched focus. Do you really think the school would gossip about your choices? Of all the things to gossip about.. really, I'd be surprised if anyone would even care. Her eyes turned crescent in lieu of a smile. I'm confident it wouldn't be an issue.

"I don't know, maybe it's just not our place to mess with you know? Let them bud in their own way?" She shrugged slightly again. "Well I mean... I'm a zombie, I mean, how many ghouls would honestly go out with a girl missing her arm and well." She tugged off her cap revealing a bald patch of skull she had kept quite hidden during their time in the Christmas town. "Lets face it, I'm not too far from falling apart sometimes."
If Riley thought showing affection for Malodore was bad, she had no idea. Sammy had a very bad habit of hiding her head, what with the bald spot. Sure she was proud of her skelital arm, but at the end of the day she feared it was those things that would drive most people away.

Sammy.. she coo'd very softly. Do you really think your physical traits will stop you from finding someone? In a place like this? If anything, the fact that Malodore and myself are together should be a blatant refute to that idea. We are the proud denizens of Halloweentown. We are not ashamed of our missing body parts or our extraneous appendages. What matters is here, she pressed her hand against the girl's chest, and here, her hand rose, and tapped Sammy's forehead. Everything else is superfluous. In fact, the stranger one might look, the more they should be proud. Think of how terrified a human would be if they saw you, Sammy. Her eyes gleamed, glowing brighter. Think of the way they would stumble and run for their life. The blood-curdling scream they might let out.. Riley physically shuddered in pleasure.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. You should be proud. So proud. No one else should ever be allowed to take that away from you.
