And one for you ... and one for youuuu.
Danny hummed softly as she walked down the reaper dorm hallway. She was carefully dropping off Rabos at random strangers' doors. No one would think her weird for this right? Of course not. It was free stuff!
Finally she arrived at a door named Lark. Lark. Why did that sound so familiar? Didn't Roch say something to her on groanspring? Nevermind, didn't matter, especially since her stomach interrupted her. A grumbly growl emitted from her stomach, and she looked down.
Danny pulled out a sandwich and leaned against the ghoul's door (she wouldn't mind right? Right). It was lunch time! The Rabo's frittered excitedly at the smell of her food, but she shushed them. This was her sandwich.

Lark was a little paranoid as of late.
Every time she heard anyone approach her door she would creep to it and wait to see if they stopped. Truthfully she was expecting a visitor any day now -- after she'd socked Freya in the face, and especially after Roch's warning -- the ghoul half-expected Freya's big brute of a boilfriend to show up and smash her door down.
So when Lark heard the sound of someone leaning against her door, Lark didn't hesitate to swing the thing open. If Danny had been putting her full weight against the door, it was likely she would tumble inside Lark's room.

Tumble into her room she did. Danny's let out a little gasp as the support behind her disappeared, and she fell onto her back. Luckily, her sandwich was still firmly grasped in her hand. Ten points for a firm grip!
Looking up, Danny saw a blonde haired ghoul, who seemed a bit fidgety. Maybe it was her imagination. Her imagination did tend to run wild. Like really wild.
Either way, Danny wasn't phased or embarrassed in the least. She waved up at the ghoul and said, "Hi, I'm Danny, who're you?" Danny wasn't ever going to be the sharpest tack in the drawer; she hadn't yet connected that the "Lark" on the dorm plaque was the Lark standing right in front of her.

Lark chewed on her lip as she peered down at the ghoul who had flopped into her room. Okay, so this wasn't the angry boilfriend. This was .. this was Danny? Roch's friend? Lark smiled suddenly.
"M'Lark," she introduced herself, reaching out a hand to help the other ghoul up. "Yer Roch's mate? He tol' me a little 'boutcha. Pleasure's mine!" Lark fidgeted a brief moment, clearing her throat. Maybe she should explain her prior nervousness.
"Been a little outta sorts lately. Got in'ta a fight w'a ghoul n' popped her in th'face. Blackened her eye, too right. Half-expectin' some angry boil to come thumpin' at m'door." Blonde brows drew down in a slight frown.
"Why're ya leanin' on m'door, anyways?"

Danny had no clue what that kangaroo just said. Literally no idea. What was a bowcha? Why was Roch tolling him? So she just smiled and nodded; that usually seemed to work when it came to things she didn't understand. She decided to just focus on the blonde ghoul, that would be easier right?
WRONG.
They both talked funny. Danny couldn't make heads or tails of it. Something about painting eyes and popping faces (which sounded relatively fun, actually). More smiling and nodding.
Now the last part she understood! "Oh! Well I was running like wushhh, and then I got all hungry, so I sat down to eat." Danny was still on the ground, staring up at Lark with big, inquisitive eyes. Even if she couldn't understand anything much, she was still interesting!

Lark blinked a few times. And then she blinked some more. Ben slowly thumped up to peer down at Danny, as well. Ben and Lark shared a glance before both sets of eyes peered back down at Danny. "This's uh.. this's Ben." Lark pointed at the roo before moving her hand to scratch at her temple. She hadn't expected a friend of Roch's to be so... so... Danny."Well then," Ben cleared his throat and gestured at the table. "Yer welcome t'come have a seat, ghoul."

Danny took up the offer to enter the room quite quickly. With a roll, she was already in the middle of the room, taking a seat at the table Ben had pointed to. Her wings fluttered a bit uselessly still. She was proud that she had gotten over the pain after some time, and at how big they'd grown, but she still wasn't all that used to having claws on them. It felt weird.
Not even looking for a sort of "okay" or a connection, Danny put her feet up on the table and tilted back in the chair. Call it rude, but it was just a habit for Danny.
Come to think of it, Danny hadn't gotten the ghoul's name. Certainly Lark had said it at the beginning of their conversation, but Danny had taken "M'Lark" as some sort of otherworldly language word. Along with bowcha. "So what's your name?" She said with a smile. An idiotic smile.

Lark took a few cautious steps to the side as Danny moved further into the room, closing the door with a soft click as the other ghoul moved to the table. Ben thumped his way into the kitchen, sending Danny an incredulous sideways glance before turning to peer at Lark.
Lark peered at Ben before turning once more towards Danny.
"Name's Lark."
Ben opened the fridge and cleared his throat to catch Danny's attention. He spoke very slow.
"Would ya like somethin' ta drink, ghoul?"

Oh! So her name was M'Lark. Lark for short then? Well okay! "Nice to meet you Lark!" She held out her hand in the "handshake" she had learned while on vacation.
Her head tilted at the talking kangaroo. He was a familiar, right? His mohawk reminded her of Roch! She bet those two would probably get along pretty well. Could kangaroos play the guitar?
Nevermind that. "Ummm ... you probably don't have anything I can drink." She held her lantern in her hand and showed it to the ghoul and familiar, "Flame demon and stuff." It was always so awkward having to explain these things to people. Why could everyone just drink super heated beverages like lava? Made no sense if you asked her.

Lark grasped Danny's hand and offered a strong, quick shake.
Both Lark and Ben peered at Danny's lantern. They weren't entirely sure what they were looking at, and Ben left Lark to press for answers while he went to the fridge and snagged a Croak for Lark. He deftly popped the top and handed it to his reaper before slowly making his way to the table.
"So yer a flame demon, then?" Ben sounded impressed. Lark looked intrigued. "Whassat all entail?"
Lark took a long sip of Croak before lifting her brows. "Yeah, s'that entail?" Ben and his smart words. Such a champ.

Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh. Danny liked this ghoul a lot. The way she assertively grabbed her hand and shook it made Danny feel so welcomed! It was nice to have a good strong handshake rather than the limp fishes she was used to.
"Yes I'm a fire demon!" she confirmed, nodded her head. "Um, yes it means I have a tail?" Danny said, clearly confused. All she could really understand was the word "tail."
Perhaps they meant something else by "entail"? Like ... in tail? "Ohhh you mean like what's in my tail?" Danny looked down at the thin wiry jet suspending her lantern-encased flame-tipped tail. "You know ..." she confided, "I'm not really sure..."

Ben coughed.
Lark sighed an instant before she started speaking again, this time trying to make an attempt to suppress her accent.
"What. Do. Fire. Demons. Do?"
Jack save her.
Ben wasn't going to talk like Lark. No way, no how.
"Y'don't know what's in yer own tail-thing?" That seemed kind of strange. "Don'tcha think that if y'had a tail w'somethin' in it, ya'd know what it was?" The kangaroo looked a dubiously at the demon.

Ohhhhhhhhh. What do they doooo. Danny tapped her chin. What did she do? "Ummm. I woke up this morning, and I went on a run. That was fun cause there was this little wolfy thing and it was like YIP YIP YIP and so I barked back and it got scared and ran." She let out an obnoxious giggle. This story wasn't ending any time soon.
"Then I went to them um. The. The the the. What's it called? OH. The Gym. Yeah. I went there and did fighting and stuff." Yup, definitely wasn't ending soon. "So then I went and got some snotcorn 'cause I was hungry and played Left 4 Live for like ... EVER. Seriously. Ever." Danny was looking very serious during this part. "But then all the boxes in my room started making noises and so I went to go give them to more people." Danny nodded, then continued, "So I got to your door... at least I think this is your door 'cause you're Lark and the door says Lark, so it must be your door... and I got hungry again so I started eating."
Now she was just recapping things, "So I sat against the door and then you opened it and I fell in and then I said hi and you said hi and then you asked about my tail and then you asked what I do so I told you!" She smiled now that her story was finished, looking at the ghoul happily. Not even missing a beat she said, "And now I'm here!" Poor Lark. Poor, poor Lark. What had she opened her door upon.
