Zephyr shook his head as he took another fork full of noodles in his mouth. London was asking all the same questions that he had, honestly. The fallen had no idea why his roommate was being so withdrawn and grumpy lately, it was like he didn't know him anymore. He used his free hand to move a few stray hairs out from his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, London. We just stopped being buddies." He replied, shaking his head again. "I think it was after he gave me that note and we had that first argument. I said I didn't want to date him and now he's all... I don't know, hurt? It may not even be about that, I'm not sure. All I know is that he's been acting all reclusive and that's not like him at all. That's why I came here alone tonight, actually. Couldn't even convince him to come out of the freaking dorm."
He sighed and turned his attention back to the festival.
"... You want to just hang around somewhere? I really don't feel like playing anything else." He said.
Well, his effort to butter his sister up had been a failure, but at least she seemed to like the gift? Valerian really didn't understand giving gifts to begin with, actually. Things were just things to him, what mattered to him were things you couldn't do without, like food, clothes, or people. ... Even if he wasn't always the nicest person to other people. He had conflicted feelings about some of the other kids, even if he wouldn't say it. He liked pranking Imps and Grimm the best because of their fluffy tails. He could put so many sticky things on them before they noticed...
But that kind of stuff was for another day. Right now, he was dealing with his very unprankable sister who was offering him something shiny. "Earrings? ... Thanks!" He said, turning them around. "Can you show me how to put them on? I don't think I can do the clasp-y thing on the back..."
Dahlia almost couldn't believe how quiet Valerian was being. It felt kind of empowering, but it also made her feel sort of bad. Like, what if she'd frightened him into being quiet all the time? She didn't want her little brother to feel like he couldn't have any freedom around her, just to be mindful of how he acted around her and toward others in the same way. She glanced to him out of the corner of her eye as she turned to get another prize. She'd won a plushie this time and felt pretty proud of herself, but the plushie had come with another set of earrings. She looked them over, marveling at their silver sparkle, and gave them to Valerian.
"Yeah, I can help you. These ones don't need pierced ears to work." She said, reaching over to put the earrings on her brother. "There, now you look extra adorable! I can't wait for daddy to see you in those! He'll think you're so cute!"
Hailey pulled the no longer bothering to protest Malachi along with her. She didn't really know where it was she was taking him, but they would have fun together whatever it was they ended up doing! Though she did feel bad for ditching Nikora...
Malachi was a bit surprised when Hailey separated them from their new friend, but then again, it was Hailey and he really shouldn't be surprised when she did stuff like that. He did notice that she suddenly seemed a bit mopey. Huh... Why was that? He wondered what it was that he could do to make her feel better. Then he got an idea when he saw a cute little plushie right next to them. He reached over and offered up the tickets for the plushie to the vendor, thanking them silently. "Here you go, Hailey. Smile, kay?~" he said as he offered the plushie to her.
Hailey sighed, scuffing her sneakers on the ground until Malachi said something to her. When she looked over to see the plushie he was giving her, she squeaked happily and squished both the plushie and the Fallen in a big hug. She even teared up a bit. The poor thing was obviously getting a little emotional, though why was unknown.

Dodger grinned, pleased with himself and the praise he was receiving. "Yup! Sure do~ I'm not gourmet or anything right yet, but I can cook up a good few bangin' dishes." He gladly accepted some of the Peanut Brittle offered to him as he listened to her talk about her major. "Really? Wow. That's pretty cool. Whatcha gonna do with that when you graduate?" He took up another piece of the candy and chewed on it thoughtfully for a few moments before shrugging. "I'm over at C.C., but I'm kind of on an academic break while I try to figure out what I want to do, really. Just kinda work a bunch of odd jobs and do what I can to survive right now. I'd love to do something with cooking, but I'm not sure if I'd still love it if it was my job, y'know?" At the rate he was eating the peanut brittle, it was going to be gone before poor Gly even really got to have some, so he took up a cup of hot chocolate to sip on and slow his eating.

After spending a good deal of time getting quite attached to the little Fluffbug -- now dubbed Marshmallow -- Bobbi was feeling quite happy and contented. There may have been a zillion reasons why the Litch wouldn't normally come to something like this, but for all the reasons why xe normally wouldn't, there were a good few that xe was glad to have come. Those being the quite endearing animals that Bobbi had the chance to become attached to. Gently cuddling the bug in xyr arms, Bobbi smiled and decided to look for something out of xyr ordinary to enjoy. Happening upon a stand that had all sorts of bits and bobs as far as accessories went, Bobbi spied something that hadn't been surprise placed on xyr. A bulb necklace. It was green as well, so that certainly was a plus to the Litch. Taking it up, xe fought to get it over those pointed ears, but it finally rested about Bobbi's neck.
Matty's face straight up frowned at the fact that Ryker said he was starving. That would not fly with him at all. But still, he couldn't help appreciate the fact that his possible obnoxiousness already had a rival! That could be fun. Heehee. "Oh gods... Don't tell me you're one of those college students that lives on stuff like pizza and ramen! That stuff is familiar chow. You need someone in your life that can dazzle you with the culinary, baby."
The Goblin grinned widely in great amusement at the balancing act. "Look folks! He can walk, talk, and balance things on his head! You won't see that anywhere else!" The sudden appearance of a bracelet on his wrist made Matty smirk. "You keep that up, baby, and I might think that you're trying to be more than just my tour guide slash lunch date! Hmmmm.. Tell yah what. You show me a good time here, and I'll buy stuff after to make us some dinner at your place. How's that sound?"

He says "GOOD! Cause there's no escaping!" XD <333
Looking up from the book at last, Exodus checked his watch. He was certain that he had been sitting and... skimming through the first fifty to one hundred pages or so of the book for maaaaybe... ten minutes? One could have colored him extremely surprised when he saw that he had been there for over an hour now. "Oh wow. Ahem..." he said, clearing his throat. "It's a better book than I thought it was going to be, then." Actually, he was very thrilled with the tale. It had been extremely hard for him to pull his nose out of the book. In an attempt to keep himself from staying on the bench the entire day, reading it away, he got himself up and decided to hunt for something else that might keep his attentions while out and about at the festival. Doomed. He was doomed because he spied another book cart. Oh gosh... what was he going to do with himself, save for give up and let books steal him away! And shamefully, he found himself drawn to something that seemed very teenage girly. "Oh god..." he muttered to himself as he paid for the book and hid it away. Please don't let anyone have seen what he bought.... Maybe it would be best if he just got back to reading on the bench again! And so he quickly made his way back to the seat and buried himself in the book from earlier. It was safer that way...

Cimara smile he rather liked the grimms response. Not to self doubting, but not bragging either. Then he laughed "I know nothing about art, what sort of things do you design??" He asked curiously
(Hitting a writers block with Cim, I'm likely going to excuse him next response >.< )

Gwen could see that the freshling still didn't trust her, but she would do what she could to make her see that Gwen, had nothing against her stealing. It just didn't bother her, if Gwen was a gesit she might steal in the name of science too. Gwen's eyes widened and she jumped up and down, then settled and wrote down what the freshling told her. Then Gwen had an idea "If I let you teach me how to steal plushies and trinkets, will you trust me enough to help me with my research?? Perhaps then you will see I will not turn you in??"
(I would love to do a PRP with these two ^_^ I really think your girl has sparked what will be Gwen's future focus XD )
Odessa watched as a caroler went around handing out bundles of candy canes. She smiled when they approached her and she nodded a word of thanks. She picked one from the bundle and popped it in her mouth.
Kiessi was glancing around a craft booth when they saw another boa! They could definitely use that to make some neat clothing for their plushies! They gave a small smile when they noticed the adult from before that helped them with the bracelet. They gave a small friendly wave, smiling brightly in the female's direction. They weren't sure if they saw them, but they figured it was better to be nice just in case!
Kara still had her hands against her mug, trying to warm her fingers. The air was chilling considerably and the warm liquid was nice.
Anara couldn't help but muse, trying to figure out what the other girl was up to. She considered this for a long moment before finally giving up, shrugging her shoulders slightly. "You really want to learn how to steal..?" Her triple pupil eyes were now staring at Gwen, a seriousness in her quiet voice. She had to admit, if the girl did steal than she couldn't exactly turn Anara in since she'd be just as guilty. She had to admit that was a pretty smart plan.
Midnightglow18
Sounds good! Anara could definitely use some "friends". xDD
Kirella took another sip of her drink, watching the male carefully. "Anything, really. Graphics for websites and advertisements are where I make most of my money, though I do sell paintings and more traditional art at times too. I have a gallery downtown where I let artists show off their work and sell their pieces. It can be exhausting work at times, but it's enjoyable too." She gave a small smile, looking at her book again. She noticed that the chill in the air was getting thicker as the night wore on.
Midnightglow18
Ah.. okay then. ^^
Leddi continued her way through the crowds, picking a booth that held boas and other fashionable items. She never was very big on fashion, but she couldn't help but take one of the boas from the rack, she had always wanted one since she was a child.. and well.. now she had hte chance.

Gwen shrugged "To me it is a means to an end to understand you better, I do not judge your choices. My choice is to understand everything I can, your choice is to steal, besides your taking plushies and small toys, not someone's stone. That I would question your mental holding. A few plushies and toys." Gwen shrugged again, her logic was firm, that perhaps to some it was naughty, but to her it was this freshlings way of life and it didn't bother Gwen. "Besides perhaps one day you will trust me enough to consider us friends." Gwen blushed at the foolish emotion that leaked in. "I mean if you ever want to.." She checked around again to make sure no one else noticed. "If we didn't cover it I'm Gwen"
Cim nodded "That sounds very nice, but I must bid you good bye dear Kirella. I have lesson plans I put work on." He said closing his book and moving to stand.
