Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It doesn't matter. I'll get them later," Shun said lowly. Letting out a breath, he continued to gently rub Mitsu's back, trying to get her to relax.

Checking his arm, he saw small beads of blood from where Riyo had dug her claws in. Shaking his head, he looked towards Hel.

"Just stay here for now.. Mitsu needs that more than anything," he said before looking out towards the crowd. He had a few things to digest right now, and it didn't look like he was in particularly a good frame of mind at the moment.

Alex had to think about that for a moment, because scarentines day actually seemed like it had happened ages ago, and not just a little over four months previously. So much had happened since then, however, and the last thing he'd really thought about was a photo. "Hmm, actually, no I don't think I've actually seen it either..." That was odd, but perhaps there was a reason for it. Maybe it had just never found it's way too them or perhaps it was blurry so it had gotten tossed away. Well, at least they had an opportunity to get another right now?

The phone buzzed in his hand a second time, and he lifted it up to glance at the screen again while taking one more long sip of his punch, making a small face again at the taste, and placing the cup down on the table. He was just about to tap in a reply when another message came through. Bells? Oh, he likely meant his ghoulfriend, Belladonna. So....Mort didn't even know that Alex knew her? Well, that was a little odd, but at the same time, a bit of a relief. Now he didn't have to worry if the other zomboil would be mad at him for sparring with his ghoulfriend (not that Alex had even won, anyways).



He decided to just leave it at that. If Mort wanted details, he could just ask when he got here. He dropped the phone back in his pocket.

Now back to his date!

"Sounds like a good plan, though I don't know if there are very many people who would want to dance with me." Plus, in the end, he would much rather take Yin out again...and possibly a few more times. As he reached out to take his boilfriends hand in his, he began moving away from the table and towards the photo booth area, "Though actually, come to think of it, I did offer a dance to a ghoul that said she would be here, but didn't seem happy about it. Oh, and maybe I should try and find Mei again, since I kind of forgot about her after the choking incident." Way to snub your friends, Alex. Just as thoughtful as ever, apparently.

Yin exited with Alexander.

She grinned, her voice cheerful as she nodded her head enthusiastically. "If I do open up a cafe, feel free to drop by during those days you need a good coffee and doughnut, okay? It'll be on the house."

Xiu didn't seem to notice the music until it was brought up. Her ears perked up slightly, only to droop when she realized what was playing. Erk, this was..."Y-yes, let's...let's stop, shall we?" Looking sheepish, she hopped off of the boil's boots before reaching out to give him a hug. "Thank you for the dance, Mot!"

...Now where did she leave her shoes?

Ulmuka giggled uncontrollably when he heard about Petro's baking. He clapped the tan boil on the shoulders. "I will taste your baking!" He squeezed the young man's muscled arm. "I can eat anything! And chivalrously save the ghoul's bellies!"

It took him a moment to calm his wheezing laughter but as he finally did, they all loked ready to head for the photobooth. The strix rose and pulled Needle's chair out for her, taking her hand.

"Are we ready? Mementos!" Of course later he may realize how the photos were not very useful to the nearly blind ghouls, but it was all part of the prom experience!

[Exit?!]

"Sounds good to me." Mot said with a grin. Free coffee! Eeee~ That was probably the only good thing about not being with Hel. No fights and lots of coffee.

Mot smiled awkwardly and nodded, returning the hug and leaving to go be elsewhere.

As he left, a chill ran up his spine, as if he forgot something. As if.. leaving Xiu was a bad idea.

Maybe it was imagination.

Shun let out a sigh as Mitsu continued to cling to Hel. He was going to need to figure out what to do about all of this. As she reached out to take his sleeve, he looked to her softly while taking a step closer.

"I'm not going anywhere.." he said quietly. They needed to talk anyway, granted he wasn't really sure when a good time to do that would be. But it was obvious that the things Titus had brought up had upset her. He didn't... particularly understand why. What had happened before was definitely in the past and... well, it just wasn't the same.

That wasn't the only thing on his mind though.

"I'm here," he said to try and reassure her, taking her hand lightly into his own.

Nodding to his girl, Shun glanced to Hel quietly, then gently pulled Mitsu away to speak with her more privately. Though, he paused for a moment as he saw her expression shift just by looking at him. And not in a positive way. Grimacing at the, he took in a breath and continued to walk. The area by the bathrooms were more secluded if he recalled.
