"..."
Shun was a little speechless for a moment or so here. Perhaps Calder didn't quite get what he was saying at first.
"We have an unused bed. Wouldn't you rather have your own?"

"Why would I want to sleep alone?" He said, thinking of an empty bed. "Come on, Shun. Amrita isn't here, and I don't know a lot of people here. I can't sleep well if I have to sleep alone in a strange place." He looked around, and looked over at Xiu. "Maybe your sister would be nicer to me." He grumbled, wondering if he should ask her. "...after everything we've been through."

Shun furrowed his brow at this. Apparently the Kelpie was the type to like or need to sleep with others to sleep soundly. Though, he froze for the moment as he thought of bedding with Xiu instead. The Reaper glanced over at her for a moment.
"..."
No. He couldn't let her sleep with some guy she didn't know all that well. Grimacing a bit, he shifted at his choices here.
"Fine. Fine. You can share my bed," he sighed. He hoped he wasn't going to regret this. A cuddler he was not. Mitsu was the only exception to this. Hell, he didn't even like hugs most of the time. He liked his space.

Unfortunately for Shun, Calder was a cuddler.
"Oh thank you, Shun!" Calder cried, leaning over to hug the boil before quickly turning to grab his bag to put it in their room.

As with just about all hugs that weren't given by a certain werewolf, Shun tensed up as Calder threw his arms around him. Thankfully, the hug didn't last long so he could relax again. Letting out another sigh, he shook his head to himself. What in the name of Jack did he get himself into? --- Demon_Pachabel Text to Shehk: You think so?

Blade Kuroda Text to Jericho: I know so. =') I haven't laughed and smiled so much in a long time. It's really nice.
Oh right.
Maybe later.

So, Amarus was with the War clan. Olivia reacted with only a simple and soft, "oh." There was a tinge of disappointment in her voice, she hadn't had a chance to say goodbye - unsure when she would really ever see her again.
"I hope she's doing well," she told him, trying to bring a smile back on her pale features, "and the trouble is only with the texts..." The way Faustus had phrased it, she wasn't too sure of where the trouble lay. Certainly Amarus couldn't have gotten herself in trouble on the island on the first day, could she?
Olivia's hands fell to playing with the hem of one of the ruffles on her dress and she contemplated his offer of exploring. It would be fun, she figured as she let her eyes drift around the room, perhaps another area would be a little less unsettling than the dorm rooms. Though, with a pit of lava she wasn't too sure. "I.. wouldn't mind," the ghoul finally spoke up. "It.. could be fun exploring like we did at the other Island."
And then she added in a more hushed tone, "I'm glad you're here too..." Olivia wasn't used to being able to say it too often.

**Time Skipping
It was late, and class had been exhausting. As promised, Calder had taken his things to Shun and Xiu's room, and then parked himself on the beg that seemed to be where Shun had picked. Smiling, he stole a pillow from one bed, set it beside the other and made himself comfortable.
Stretching out, he curled against the wall, leaving as much space to make Shun comfortable.

The class had certainly been something. For a class on guidance, it certainly left Shun with more answers than anything. They had killed many humans in this exercise. Granted, that wasn't what bothered him. Personally, he was killing out of defense there as they were trying to end him first. But that didn't explain why they as a whole were fighting them in the first place. They didn't quite seem like the hunters. Something else was going on.
Running a hand through his hair, he let out a breath and retreated into his room, where he saw that Calder was already curls up onto the bed. He paused for a moment, then sighed and somewhat hesitantly crawled in as well with his back to the kelpie.
This felt a little awkward. But he was just trying not to think too hard on the fact that there was someone else in this bed with him that wasn't Mitsu.

The bed sank slightly as Shun rested beside him, and Calder looked at the boil's back and felt calmed by the fact he wouldn't be sleeping alone. "Thanks, Shun." He whispered, before closing his eyes.
"Night."

"Night."
Letting out a breath, he removed the eyepatch and set it aside, then closed his eye as he settled on down so he could get some rest. He kind of had a feeling he may need it for tomorrow.

***** In the process of the night, Calder naturally navigated his way to Shun's side, and like every sleeping partner he had, wrapped his arms around him. It was comforting to have someone nearby, and the Reaper became Calder's Teddy Bear for the night.
Despite the gruesome experience of battle, his mind decided to concentrate on more pleasant things than being speared by a human.
Smiling, the kelpie nuzzled against Shun's neck.
Chiron's coat was so soft, and wrapped in his arms under the shade of a dying tree, he could only giggle at being teased by the centaur. They had been playing catch, and the centaur had found him. Not that Calder had been really trying hard to evade him. It had been an honest training exercise, but now it was something much more interesting.

Shun had always been a light sleeper. There were times where he rested more heavily than others, but generally speaking, it didn't take too much to cause him to stir. At some point, he felt Mitsu's arms wrap around him from behind and nuzzling into his neck. The reaper stirred some, about to shift closer to her, but then he realized something very important.
That wasn't Mitsu behind him.
This realization caused his eye to snap open. Slowly, he glanced down to see Calder's arms wrapped around his torso and he tensed up. For the moment, he didn't know what to do.

Shehk never slept. The fact that there was now something interesting to think about kept her curled up in her bed, wrapping herself up in the covers thoughtfully as she pondered the class itself and what had happened in it.
What had it meant?
Had it meant anything?
Or as she just...overthinking it all? She couldn't help but run her tongue over her teeth to try and find the taste of blood before she sat up and fetched the journal she'd brought with her before digging herself underneath her blankets and setting to write in the darkness. At least, it was dark until the shift in light made the glowing in her own body more noticeable. Her eyes illuminated the page for her as she wrote:
[Journal: Island of Death, Day 1
The island of death is a warm place......]
She'd pause every now and then to sketch, before peering out of her blankets, checking her phone, then sighing. It was too late for texting, she'd already sent off a 'Good Night, Jericho' earlier anyways.
Still, she at least knew dissipation in the islands was a real possibility.
