Colette marched down the hallway of one of the upper floors of the Reaper Dorm, library books hugged tight to her chest. There was no reason for her to ever go to the upper floors, her own dorm had its place on the first, but this time she did it simply to get away. No place was safe from.. it. Not the library, not the smithy, not the cafeteria -- not even her own dorm common room! The snuggling, the smiles, the kissing. It was as if couples were everywhere. To her horror there were even two Reapers just kissing right on her hallway! And that of course is what led her to this adventure in the first place.
Finally out of the awkward views of PDA, the Reaper felt comfortable at last and slowed from a quick march with a purpose of getting anywhere-but-here to a stroll. She looked up and down the hall and peeked into another hall branching off, pondering which way to go. Unfortunately, untraveled territory meant being lost; but at least the silence of an empty hallway was always nice.
Silence that was suddenly broken by a loud, questionable noise..
It seemed to be coming from one of the rooms, and despite loud noises being a big no on approach factor, Colette couldn't help but cautiously step towards the door and lean an ear towards it. Did a fellow Reaper need help? Or were they doing something bad? Softly, she knocked on the door. Asking for directions would be a good cover up to being a little nosy.

To say that the sound that had issued forth from Belladonna's room was loud was a bit true and not at the same time. In all honesty, it was rather loud, but the thing that seemed to save it from being mostly loud was the fact that it was also very... Strange.
Had the witch not been the one to hear it first-hand (or, well, to have created it firsthand) she would have never been able to guess what had happened within her own dorm room. For you see, the moment Colette took refuge in the hallway was the exact moment Belladonna had set her eye-pod to shuffle as well as the exact moment it had played too-loudly due to its being on the highest volume possible as well as happening to coincide with the incident of the witch stepping onto the tail of her most beloved-familiar Binx.
All those sounds created something that resembled a cat-guitar being simultaneously played very loudly and dying. It was a strange sound indeed.
And to further complicate manners, Belladonna only had a few moments between causing the sound and receiving a knock on her door to do much about it. There was only, in fact, two breaths time wherein she managed to turn the volume down to an acceptable level and sweep her dear familiar up into her arms where she was in the process of planting a very large kiss on his kitty-cheek when the knock rang out. The witch took a deep breath, prepared to make a number of excuses for whoever obviously wanted to complain about the noise, and carried Binx over to the door.
When she opened the door, she got such a surprise for that one long moment she only stared at the girl.
Then understanding took over and Belladonna reached forward and grabbed Colette into a fierce hug that Binx vocally objected to, as he was the one squished between them.
"OhmigoshI'msogladtoseeyouuuuuuu!!!" Belladonna squealed at the girl as she held her tight. One little kitty claw sank into her arm and she squeaked in surprise and let go of the girl. It was only then that she realized perhaps she should not have grabbed a girl she was only slightly good friends with. Especially not after such a long lack of communication between them.
"OhmigoshI'msosorryIdidn'tmeanto--Ijust--!!"
Now Belladonna stood there, cradling Binx in her arms and looking at Colette with wide, pink eyes that wanted acceptance but also apologized for the sudden hug as well as the loud noise.
"Um. Hi! How have you been?" She finally managed to squeak out, her cheeks flushed a rosy color.

Ohmaijackwutsgoin'on fumbled around in Colette's head as she was taken by surprise. The Grim Reaper was not expecting a hug, not at all. She never did! Colette should really be better prepared by now, but her arms stayed by her side at a loss of what was going on. There was something moving too, she could feel it in between their bodies. REALLY. WEIRD. The ghoul was just in a tense, awkward position. "H-hi," she finally muttered as the witch let go and revealed a cat had been in between them.
Watching Belladonna's cheeks flush made her own redden as if any shame the witch felt hit Colette eightfold. "U-uh. It's okay," she managed to stammer out after several seconds. "Uh, I'm alright. Been better.. b-but I don't mean that like it's your fault just now or something! Just.. stuff." Colette paused and let several seconds of silence ensue while her eyes wandered up to the ceiling, thinking about the uncomfortableness she experienced today. Her face held a frown showing clearly that something was wrong. OH GOSH HER PROBLEMS ARE JUST SO TERRIBLE. NO ONE COULD BE SUFFERING AS MUCH AS HER. NO ONE HAD BIGGER PROBLEMS.
Oh, right. Keeping up proper conversation!
"Ahm! How about you?" she asked, returning her eyes to her old acquaintaince-friend-teammate. If Colette had to find a title for their current relation, she would be at a loss (like pretty much all her acquaintancefriendrelations).

"Been better? What kind of stuff?" The witch questioned with a very worried, compassionate expression.
"Don't be polite, really. If it was her, you can tell her. She needs to be told--"
"BINX!!!" The witch managed to shush the cat enough that he only snickered to himself and settled himself against her chest. "Please ignore him. He's being whiny." She took a deep breath and replaced the frown with a smile. "Now, tell me what's wrong."
"I'm... Fine!" Belladonna finally replied after a moment of thought. It had been quite a long time since she had seen Colette, so there was quite a lot to catch up on.
That was, assuming the girl actually wanted to catch up. Perhaps Colette had been busy becoming a famous movie star or something and therefore had no time for silly witches who confined themselves to their rooms because they feared a little madness and death.
That was preposterous! As kind and lovely as Colette was, Belladonna knew she was just a little too shy to become famous in such a manner.
Whatever. The witch instead shrugged her shoulders and gave the girl a kind of 'I don't know, I'm smiling, look at me smile' type of grin. Hmmm... Hopefully Colette had something that needed the witch's help on because otherwise she was just going to have kidnap her into her room, feed her tea and cookies and catch up.
...Maybe not all of that was such a bad idea...

"O-oh. Well.." She watched with slightly wide eyes at the playful banter between Belladonna and her familiar. Colette hesitated and thought how to best explain what was bothering her. She hadn't expected to be asked about it and supposed it was possibly an odd thing to feel awkward about, but then being vague did lead to questions! Denying both Belladonna and Binx would be quite rude too... there was no way around it!
"Ah.. there's just been a lot of other students, couples I mean," or she hoped, "displaying their affection everywhere. I-I mean.. gosh, it's pretty awkward for bystanders," she finally said, as if quite possibly any bystanders other than her at the time were uncomfortable. "And just.. sheesh. It's not great to feel uncomfortable everywhere. Around all the hugging and kissing. Especially when you've kind of never really done that yourself -- or, uh, by completely sound choice really -- and then you just feel weird around it and never even actually dated someone and and.. all that stuff." The last of it came out in rambling, and Colette wanted to suddenly suck back in everything she just let out. Instead all she could do was take a deep breath and wait for Belladonna to probably look at her weird and retreat into her room with her familiar safely kept at a distance from the rambling Grim Reaper.
