Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taking a bite out of his own food, Shun glanced up as Mitsu offered the remainder of the sausage. He was about to take it, but the comment about chewing had him pause and stare. The Reaper wasn't entirely certain he wanted the sausage now, not with the imagery in his head.

"Hmm.. perhaps a little later. There seems to be a lot so I'm sure there will be more," he said, "Go ahead and finish it."

He paused again after saying that, then shook his head to himself.

Shun couldn't help but stare a little as Mitsu finished the sausage. Shaking his head to himself again, he tried to focus back on his food. He didn't have a hat to place over his face this time around. Thankfully, she helped out by asking what he had gotten.

"I have some deviled eggs, caviar, and some sort of dumpling," he said. The eggs were heart shaped, as were the dumplings. Picking one of the latter up, he offered it out to her, "Would you like one? They're pretty good."

Yes, there were indeed many new students about. As he passed them up, Jericho eyed them all critically. It was really hard to tell if any of these guys were the real deal. A part of him still wanted to send all the new kiddies to the corners as a test.

Once at the refreshments stand, Jericho went and grabbed himself a cup of punch first and foremost. The food itself could wait for a little bit.

Screecheart.

West had heard her call others that before and it hadn't registered as anything special, but now that it was directed at him... his smile wouldn't go away. It got quite a bit larger and goofier instead, only faltering when she turned away to retrieve the candy from her shoe. Normally he might have blamed the sparks he felt when they touched on too much foot/carpet contact, but tonight, it was destiny.

He started to shake his head when she asked how she could pay him back. Being here with her right now was enough. But at that moment he had the most marvelous idea. "Nah, I dun want nothin'ere," he replied. "But y'said you'd gimme another lesson, right? After that, I wann'another fight too." One he'd let her win. It was the perfect gift.

"I'm glad y'like that though," he added, gesturing toward the teddy bear. "An' th'gnome apologized 'n everythin'." This night just kept getting better and better. "D'y'wanna go play a game 'r anythin'? 'Less y'want somethin' t'eat instead?" Five minutes ago he had seemed capable of fighting this, but somewhere between 'Ghost-Man' and 'Screecheart' West had completely lost it. He was going to hate himself when this was all over.

After downing the punch, Jericho went ahead to grab a plateful of various meats. Though, he paused for the moment, eyeing the food warily. Was it possible that this stuff was.. contaminated as well? He hesitated with placing more food onto his dish.

"Eh? No. Nothing to be bothered of. Why do you ask us?" he asked while tilting his head.

Smiling Mitsu accepted the food gratefully her tongue lashing out to lick Shun's fingers clean before he pulled away. With the food so carefully placed in her mouth she began to chew. Shun was right, the dumplings were delicious.

"Mm...these are good." Maybe she should make a plate? Looking up she saw others had wandered over to the area, Jericho and Shehk. She offered the two a wave, mostly Jericho since she didn't know Shehk all to well, before she turned back to the spread on the table wondering what she should focus her attention on first.

Shun shuddered a bit as Mitsu cleaned his fingers. That felt a little odd. Eating a dumpling of his own, he soon glanced up to see the two student council members come on by. He merely nodded to the two in acknowledgement, pausing a bit as he heard something a little odd coming out of the dragon. For now, he dismissed it though, and looked back to his wolf.

"Would you like some more?

Seeing that her wave had been returned Mitsu smiled not thinking of much else until Jericho's words flitted in her direction. Big ears....she was bound to hear it. For a moment she looked up, brows furrowed about the mention of Hunters but it seemed Shehk wasn't too put off by it. Maybe there was nothing to worry about. Or was there?

"O..oh, yes please," Mitsu said trying to direct her attention back to Shun and push the thought of Hunters far far away. This was a day to be happy and not worry about such things.
