The air was rather cool outside considering the fact that Joachim felt a little warm as he held his date's hand his face flushed in its regular red color. Not only was he afraid that his hand was probably sweating but it was still rather sticky from the punch incident that occurred due to his atrocious dance skills he was sure that she would be a little disgusted by it. At least it was a pleasant night outside and she couldn't see the look of his face, or for the most part the color of it.
As they stood outside he realized he had no idea where the demon dorms were, not that he could even find is own dorm from where he stood considering he had visited it more than the demon dorm. Directions in the school had not been his forte, he was use to not having to memorize some new place with several different buildings with different purposes. He was use to being in the same place with the same familiar rooms and buildings that he had known for his entire existence. Joachim only hoped that maybe after a few weeks of being there he would finally figure out what direction buildings were and what they looked like instead of wandering aimlessly.
"So…. the dorm is this way?" he asked as he started to head in the direction to the right in a slow walk completely unsure of himself.

Taryn was more than aware of the sweat and the sugary stick, but she found she didn't mind much. Holding hands was a very new and guilty pleasure, and regardless of how the night was going to end, she wanted to hold hands at least one more time.
"No, I'm over here," she corrected softly, leading Joachim gently to the west. She was not, in fact, a demon (perhaps noted by a lack of horns) although she was often mistaken for one and some times even masqueraded as one. Some shame came with admitting she was only a monster (she certainly wasn't a ghost), but Joachim had to have known at the back of his mind already.

"Oh....right then.... errrr sorry...." Joachim replied as he followed after her realizing that he had mistaken her as a demon instead of a monster in which he should have known. He didn't really see much shame in that considering he was part monster himself not that it was really noticable. It was just enough blood to keep the reaper from sleeping at normal hours and well there was also the whole pale face apperance that sort of freakishly never seemed to get darker unless you counted the deep circle under his eyes. What luck he seemed to have gain from his mother, his sister on the other hand these wonderful cheery bright eyes and golden curls and caught the attention of everyone who looked at her.
He shook the thought out of his head as he continued to walk keeping pace next to her blissfully aware that she still held his hand. He felt so awkward, he wasn't even sure what he was suppose to say as they walked back.

"It's okay~" For all Joachim was obviously terrible at dates, Taryn was entirely unaware. In her mind, him not yanking away meant he was enjoying himself as well, and that was good enough for her. When the monster dorms began to loom on the horizon, she huffed a little sigh and shrank somewhat into herself. Tomorrow meant preparing for class, and then it was right back to her studies and her lack of social life. Tonight, at least, had been phenomenal.
"I had a great time..." the chimera related aloud, somewhat sheepishly.

Joachim looked at as he thought for a moment about what he was going to say not wanting to just blurt out something stupid and embarassing himself over it.
"I'm glad you had a great time..... I did too.." He replied timidly, "I mean.... I only ended up knocking over a table which I guess I could say was better than I thought I would do. Usually I end up landing on my face or doing something horrible like being eaten by a man eating plant. Errr..." He stopped talking for a moment not wanting to mention off all of the stupid things that in his head he had listed out the night before. Placing his free hand on the back of his head he gave a bit of a nervous laugh, "errrr... forgot I said all that. I mean except for the having a great time I mean, I was worried I would ruin it so I'm glad I didn't." Joachim rubbed his forehead, great he was making it worse blundering in his chatting.

Taryn happily forgot the examples Joachim gave, even as he was speaking them. There was no hiding that he was at the very least extremely awkward, and there was no doubt that some awfully embarrassing things had happened to him in the past; she'd had her fair share of faceplants, it didn't bother her at all.
"Good! I'm glad!" she peeped, and then realized she was overexcited as her face heated up again. Once more she shrank into herself, clasping her hands at her waist. Now what? Did they kiss? Would Joachim try to come inside? What was a polite way to tell him 'no'? Oh, this was so worrisome...

Joachim didn't know what else to say which ended up the two of them walking along in a bit of awkward silence. When they reached the steps of the dorm he looked at the door knowing that he was almost to the point of freedom and well possibly fleeing with what little shred of power he had left.
"Errr soo..... thank you for.... accompanying me tonight to the prom.... errr maybe I will see you around campus?" He replied unsure of what else to say or do other than to say goodbye watch her past through the door and him leaving.
"Here let me get the door for you," he replied as he walked passed her and held the door open for her. Joachim remained with half his body behind the door with one hand over stomach giving her a small bow as if greeting someone important. He figured if he remained somewhat behind it she wouldn't feel obligated to hold his hand one more time or even worse give him a kiss. Just the thought was starting to send shivers up his back.

"Um... alright," Taryn nodded, shuffling nervously up behind Joachim and accepting the opened door with a little bow. Was that what she was supposed to do? Oh, she was no good at this fancy stuff!
"I'll see you. Maybe we'll have class together," she nodded, and then turned to leave. As a final addendum, she called back over her shoulder: "Good night!"

"Good night Taryn," he replied to her as she started down the hall of the dorm. He shut the door letting a large sigh escape his lips before rubbing his forehead with his index finger and thumb. It was over for now at least he could go sleep. Maybe. Merel gave a happy squeak as the reaper turned around and started to head towards the reaperh dorms, or at least the direction that he thought they were in.
