Welcome to Gaia! ::

The zomboil's uncertainty was actually reassuring, and Yin began to relax. If it had all been a joke then that meant that there was no one he needed to actively avoid. He grinned as if to say "see, nothing wrong here," even as an arm wrapped around his shoulders. A warm arm. With Miss Danny around he had no doubts about who it was, though he was slightly startled. And Alexander merely confirmed it. What was surprising was Alexander complimenting her, and then talking rather rapidly. How odd.

Still, he had the right idea, get something to eat. "Hello again Miss Danny, I trust that your conversation with the other student went well?" He was about to walk toward the table when he turned to look at her.

And gasped in horror.

"Oh Miss Danny who did this to you?" His hand rose, but he thought about it and stopped before he touched her, hand hovering uselessly in the air. The bruise on her pretty face was distressing, even more so when all sorts of feelings began to well up inside of him. Mostly the want to protect her, to shield her from harm. But also the urge to go find whoever it was and destroy them for hurting his Miss Danny. "Is there anything I can do?" he fretted, practically radiating an aura of concern.

[Entering from Games]

Ulmuka had come around for a drink, perhaps some ice. His swollen face now ached at a regular, pulsating interval. The shiner on his eye wasn't deep but it was obvious. Most of the punch had hit him on the cheek so luckily his eye was mostly intact.

He recognized Yin Cang and moved closer holding a cup of blood punch. It was then that he saw a ghoul with a bruise as well. It was probably not the right response but he giggled, pointed to her face and then to his own.

"Look we match!" Was she punched as well? Did she hug Amrita?

Ulmuka joined the growing group around Danny. He didn't really know anyone but Yin but that didn't seem to be a problem.

"What a fetching shirt, Yin." Muka snickered.

She wasn’t expecting it at all, so when Mot let her go, Hel fell to the floor like a rock. Good thing she was wearing bloomers, because that fall wasn’t ladylike or graceful at all. “Ack!” The reaper pushed herself back up, smoothing out her dress as she shot a ‘what gives!?’ look at the confused reaper, and then turned to their present company.

“Oh! Hello Charlie!” The ghoul greeted back happily enough despite just being dropped. “Long time no see friend, how are you, and yes, what are we stopping?” The gnome was thoroughly ignored.

Alex had been eyeing the food, but had been more refrained then his usual self, not just grabbing at handfuls of edible deliciousness and shoving it in his mouth like he might have in the past. Instead he was carefully picking up sausages on a stick one by one and picking it off to put carefully in his mouth, trying hard not to drip anything on his shirt. It was a clean shirt, a clean one that he intended on keeping that way if he could. He was very aware that being a disgustingly messy slob was not the most attractive trait, and he was really making an effort to impress somebody, even if that certain somebody didn't seem to notice.

He could turn back into a slob when he got back to his dorm, a few hours of manners and cleanliness weren't going to kill him.

He couldn't help but notice, however, that Yin was getting quite upset over a small bruise on Danny's face. Alex had, of course, seen Danny get punched in the face earlier, which had been somewhat alarming. But he'd also seen the girl shake it off with a laugh and kick the opposing ghoul in the stomach, so he figured everything was fine. He couldn't help but feel a tiny pang of jealousy of all the attention Yin was paying her, though he shook it off quickly. He really had no right to have any of those kinds of feelings, anyways.

Yin was starting to accumulate a group surrounding him, and Alex was about to grab one of those glasses of sparkling blood and join them when Yin called him over instead. It seemed as though Yin had become more then distracted enough to forget about Alex's earlier comment, so he had no problem shuffling back over towards the group, eyeing the food that he was leaving behind a little forlornly.

He came up beside the group and waved. "Hi King, good to see you again! And, uh, you must be Ulmuka?" He inquired with eyebrows raised in question. What had happened to this boils face? He held his hand out towards the other boil. "I'm Alexander. That's quite the bruise you've got there!" he smiled happily.

While all of this was happening he also made a mental note to ask this Ulmuka guy how he had managed to give Yin a gift and also get the weremantis to accept it.

Ulmuka delicately took Alexander's hand, careful of his talons on the undead's flesh. "A pleasure to meet you Alexander." He snickered a bit. He directed his own bow at King. "King, hmm? What are you king of?" He inquired seriously, his head tilting far to the side.

"I seemed to have crossed someone by accident." Muka chirped in response to the inquiries about his face. "I couldn't tell you who even did it. A train perhaps? I gave my friend Amrita a hug and then.. POW." The strix giggled again. "I woke up a few minutes later. No need for concern."

At least the strix's fine clothing were unmarred. He looked especially fancy tonight in cream and fuscia pinstripes. "I believe hitting should not be considered part of Scarentine's." he clarified for the fuzzy-eared boil.

"Amphi?" He approached the ghoul, putting a hand on her shoulder to get her attention; he could feel it... Vibes from Biskoto. Annoyed vibes... Did he really take things too far? If he was honest with himself, the answer would still be a 'no', but the more he mulled over what he had said, the more uneasy he felt... And he had never felt this way before, especially not over something as trivial as teasing a ghoul.

It was probably something in the air; after all, he hadn't felt like himself for... A few days now.

"Are you upset at me?" As he came closer, he realized that her hands were shaking; for what reason, he did not know, but it did not help with easing the uneasiness he felt. In fact, while he ought to appear apologetic, he appeared slightly baffled instead.

She jumped only a little as the hand was placed on her shoulder. The juice in her cup only sloshed a little as she mentally cursed. She didn't have time to think! To think of a way to properly apologize for running out and somewhat causing anxiety for the boy.

She could barely even think as the idea of what he said, and why it bothered her so much. No really, why was she bothered. This wasn't like the mermaid ghoul at all, so be so flustered at a joke of....a indirect kiss. But there he was. She had to think of something.

"You..." She flushed out as her thoughts tried to realign so she didn't sound like a complete fool. Not once did she turn to face him as her hand dropped the parley in the bowl and gripped tightly on her cup. "I'm not experienced with....with kissing so....um...I was just nervous and...." She frowned, this isn't what she wanted to say. It felt like something else was pulling at her to say things. "I mean...I've only ever kissed one person and it seemed....and it seemed Like..." Her face deepened to a crimson red, "I was thinking of you and kissing you but then....it was....too sudden and..." She breathed in before taking a sip from her cup. Turning around to face him and poking him in the chest. "You shouldn't tease me about that...." And then gave him the angriest pout....face she could muster.
