"Second time for me. Still, that's the...second time today we've given off that impression?" Shehk seemed baffled by what it was they were doing to make anybody think they were more than just friends. Yeah, there were a few hugs, but....everybody hugged, right? Seriously, couldn't a boil and ghoul hug and it not mean anything besides 'I needed a hug and they reciprocated that need'?
She scratched the back of her head with her free hand when he confessed she had startled him a bit.
"I...was irritated at what they were saying...or rather assuming about you. That's all. The only danger was that I'd kick their asses if they kept it up."

There was an Israfel lurking nearby and he would not be dissipated because he was lurking like a mother ******** pro under a table.
Actually he was still distracted as ******** by games. His ships could wait. He knew they would sail on without him.

Layers? WHAT DID LAYERS MEAN?!! He didn't want his hair to look like a cake!
Worried, he touched his hair, wondering if THIS could get any worse, when a question distracted him. His eyes flashed to Barth, and he stepped in place. It was rather direct for the boil, and right now, he had wished to just let the subject drop to enjoy the rest of the night. Worried again that he might loose Barth, he thought of how to phrase things appropriately without upsetting him. The cold, twisting feeling like a lead snake in his stomach, biting poison in his heart, returned.
"Well....I guess not at all, though I don't like sharing you all that much. I'm use to having you all to myself. It's just, well, you know about my kind. Having a harem is natural." Yet he found it hard to think about these days when he just wanted to cling to Barth's arm and Barth's arm alone. "It was more..." His eyes glanced to the stall where he had been crying, cutting out chunks of his hair to rid him of the roses in sloppy angles. "....it was more that I didn't want you to leave me for her. I thought that you didn't need me anymore." He was flushing, and while he was usually honest, this felt a bit too exposed for him. "..I thought...that you thought...that she was better." It wasn't hard to find anyone better than him.

Was the patchwork asking if Deacon was bothering her? Riyo looked from Christof to Deacon, staring for a few moments before she finally looked back. Honestly, he was bothering her a lot, but sending the catboil off would probably just make everything ten times worse, and she'd already done that.
"It's alright. I think I can handle it from here. Thank you." It was a sincere thank you because what the hell would she have done without him? Laid there on the floor awkwardly until Sobby McSobface got done crying? Yeah... Probably...
Riyo gave Christof an appreciative pat on the shoulder before turning her attention back to a certain catboil. Yeah. Handle it from here. All there was to 'take care of' was the image of a crying child.
He couldn't stop crying? Jackdammit if he was doing this to make a scene, the cat ghoul wouldn't know what to do with herself. "C'mon then. Lets get you out of the middle of the room so people won't stare." As much. Giving one last dab under the poor catboil's eyes, she grabbed one of his hands to slowly tug him along to a seat. What was she doing? People SHOULD stare with the big scene he had created, right? Shouldn't she insult him by throwing a 'crybaby' in once or twice?
"Sit here." Riyo tried to direct him to the first available chair before continuing the job of cleaning off his face, though it didn't seem to get better the more she tried. "Look, I'm sorry for hitting you." She certainly hadn't been sorry at the time... "You just... You scared me. I thought slapping you might snap you out of whatever hysterics you're in right now, but it didn't." Such a terrible thing to admit in retrospect. "I'm still mad at you, just so you know." Though her face didn't look mad. In fact, everything she was doing had a certain gentle touch the ghoul usually lacked. Her words, her actions, even her face seemed calm. "Everything you do confuses me so much. When we first met, you insulted me, and then you mercilessly flirted with me to make me uncomfortable, then you insulted me and flirted with me at the same time, then you snuck into my room, and when I found out you felt bad instead of basking in your victory. And now you're saying you need me. How am I supposed to take that? And...Why would you need a miserable person like me?"

That was true too. Thinking about it, Jericho was also a bit confused. He had gotten cuddlier with Riley before and no one really thought any of it. So why after a couple of hugs did everyone seem to think he and Shehk were together? Strange people. "Oh. Bah. It was irritating yeah. More confusing than anything, though. How the Jack do they come to that sort of conclusion from a game?" he frowned.

Christof grunted, letting the feline couple tend to themselves, but even so he wasn't convinced. Just in case, he hovered just behind Riyo, giving Deacon stern glowers from around her shoulder as though just waiting for him to give him an excuse to send fists flying. Scaring ghouls was bad. That was not how you got Scarentines Kisses.

"I have no idea! It was a game! It wasn't like you were standing there making some 'come hither' face at people playing...." Shehk tried to keep a mental image of Jericho actually trying to make that face out of her head, less she start giggling. She couldn't imagine it. "Even the cut-out isn't doing that, so I don't...."
He was right, that was really confusing.
"Guess it just irritated me a lot in the moment."

Crossing his arms, Jericho let out a huff while thinking about it. He wondered if maybe Isra got his hands on some cider again. That might explain the weirdness. Though, what then of Freya? Did she get cider too? She was acting kind of strange as well... "...I think I might be rubbing off on you," he frowned. Hopefully that wasn't a sign of the Insanity. But it didn't seem like she was hearing voices right now. Shifting his wings nervously, he glanced around warily. If she was, would that hinder her ability to stay alert?

Gilly saw that people were making their way over in her direction. She looked behind her, looking for a celebrity or some kind of amazing food stand. When she noticed that they were all taking seats she realized that they weren't interested in anything behind her. "Oh, I wonder if they are going to serve something," she wondered in anticipation. (exit to table twooooo for twooo biggrin )

Shehk seemed to notice how 'I might be rubbing off on you' garnered some anxiety in Jericho, frowning. She knew exactly why he was concerned, but she really did feel fine.
"I appreciate the concern, Jericho, but I'm fine. My head feels fine - clear as can be." Clear as could be when in the back of her mind she was panicking, scrambling for some solution to what was happening to him and Riley. She had come to the conclusion Riley was also in trouble based simply on the fact that Jericho had included her in the report of what 'they' were doing to try and fix it.
"Man, Riley is a lucky ghoul to have a friend like you if you're getting this anxious over lil' 'ol me. I can only imagine what you'd do for her."

"Just because I like her doesn't mean I don't like you all of a sudden," Barth said.
"I know about your kind, but," Barth half-heartedly retrieved Calder's coat from the sink, "you told me about your parents, too. ...I don't want a harem. I wouldn't know what to do with one. With my father, there's a sort of...well, he's a Gluttony demon, but I'm not- not him," Or Wrath, or Pride, or Lust... "Look, none of this is my strong point. I just sort of...take things as they come."

Eyeing Shehk carefully, Jericho was trying to gauge if she was lying or not. She seemed to be telling the truth though, which allowed him to relax once more. At the mention of Riley, he chuckled and smiled weakly. "She's my best friend. Really the best I've had," he said. There was very little that he wouldn't do for her, if not nothing at all.

He had a pretty nice smile, but he was also thinking of something pretty nice too, so she couldn't blame him. "Well, she's a lucky ghoul to have you." Shehk might have been a bit envious, but.... she had Sammy and in her mind, Sammy was very hard to top. Who else would be on a train for four weeks just to make sure she got back to Amityville safely?
"Also, I think you should smile more. I really like it when you do." it wasn't meant to be bossy, just an opinion the pricolici had.

"Haha. More like I'm lucky to have her," he said before raising an eyebrow, "I do smile a lot! Just.. not as much lately. With.. everything going on."No. His usual expression lately was one of wariness, if not anger. Jericho found it hard to be happy when he was being paranoid. The discovery he made earlier wasn't going to help with that at all either.

"Mmmmm, you're undervaluing yourself if you don't think she's the lucky one." Shehk replied vaguely, frowning as he said it was harder to smile with what was going on. The pricolici hugged him again.
"How about this, then? I'll smile for you too in the meantime. I'd like it more if you could yourself, but...I understand it being hard for the time being." She knew acting like everything was alright wouldn't make it alright, but she couldn't just start having a panic-induced breakdown here with every worry that was forming in the back of her head.
