It'd been quite a long day for the demoness. Composed primarily of intense studying holed up in her room. She didn't leave the demon dorms til close to evening when most were out and about eating. But she never ate at such a busy time, it was chaos! Instead, she chose to wait until the traffic dried up, and she was free to pick a meal to her liking without the rushing or pushing. For the meantime, she strolled leisurely through the school's halls, enjoying the break she took upon herself to have. As much as she loved studying, the mind needed time to relax and relieve itself, or it wouldn't retain information! No need to overwhelm it. Her moths were getting a bit antsy, anyway, covering her pages, and just blocking her view in anyway possible.
A light smile was offered to passing by students, but it was rare that she ever got one in return. As was the norm, apparently. A cloud of fluttering moths followed her seamlessly, plenty littered on her, and others joining the pack from seemingly no where. One of her scareon's was with her as well, prancing daintily at her heels, tail lifted proudly, wings splayed in the same fashion. This one, unlike the male, was quite confident, and very pleasant towards those that gave her attention. It was while passing the cafeteria that Evelyne-Aglaya could really feel just how hungry she was... but it was quite packed in there... She should have made some tea to tie her over for a little while. Sighing softly, she realized there really wasn't much use waiting any longer.. her stomach wasn't having it. And there was a soup special tonight, apparently. And so, she slipped in gracefully, a few moths getting in passing by student's ways, making them stumble a bit, and give sharp glares at the oblivious ghoul.

While his room was still largely unorganized, Thanatos soon found himself a little bored and tired of unpacking box after box, even with Biskoto's... Help. So far, while helping him out with the unpacking, the familiar had only broken a couple of plates, cups, a photo frame... And the most recent addition, a table lamp.
"That was getting old anyway," He laughed, clearly amused as he leaned against the edge of the desk, grinning at the poor, obviously flustered snake pushing against the broken glass of the lamp with the tip of her nose.
"Oh Than darling! I'm sssssso sssssorr-" Biskoto looked absolutely horrified at the mess, trying to sweep it aside with her body, only to find herself being lifted up into the air, and placed on the reaper's shoulders; almost on instinct, she relaxed and coiled herself around his arms, rubbing her head against his cheek as her tongue flicked in and out of her mouth.
"I thought that we should perhaps pay the cafeteria a visit," He decided rather suddenly before leaving his room to do just that - in fact, it wasn't long before he found his way to his destination... Although it seemed like there was something blocking his view. A lot of somethings that led him to a ghoul - presumably the source.
"Might want to ask your little friends to fly higher," He had closed the distance between them with a few brisk strides, stopping right behind her before putting a firm hand on her shoulder to get her attention, "Or I foresee angry students in your near future. Oh, and a lot of 'Waiter, there's a moth in my soup!' jokes."

Her eyes were scanning the cafeteria slowly, mostly looking for a possible seat for her to take, as well as eyeing the available grub. None of it looked particularly tasty, but that was the norm at this school. Nothing fancy, or too savory, but Evelyne-Aglaya wasn't one to complain. She moved in a little further to get out of the doorway, but didn't get too far as the hustling and bustling of students made it difficult for anyone to approach close enough without getting swept up into the scramble for food. The little Scareon at the Grand Bois` feet gave a few disapproving looks at passerby's, tail fluffing up higher to try and make her presence known. She almost got stepped on!
As Thanatos approached, the moths surrounding Evelyne-Aglaya parted his way, and formed around him, which is what initially alerted the demoness of the reaper's presence and addressing, asides the warning he gave beforehand. Turning her head to look first at the hand on her shoulder, the moths fluttered about to surround both boil and ghoul now, curiously watching for their host to respond to him. Shielded eyes looked to the boil, a light smile gracing her features, a giggle even surfacing, "Oh dear, were they causing trouble again?" turning around fully, the moths suddenly began to attach themselves to the ghoul, landing on various places on her body, disappearing into her hair, under her skirts folds, and on the bits of accessories that she wore; even dangling from the feathers that covered her chest. There were just a few now in the air, and they were above the reaper, circling like a target, before gently lowering to land on him, as well as the lovely snake he held. One perched right onto the tip of the snake's nose daintily, holding just as much curiosity as the ghoul who owned them.
"Oh my..." the demoness breathed upon swiftly spotting the snake, instantly enchanted by it. "How beautiful~" a hand almost lifted to pet the reptile, but she caught herself in time, giving a very minute bashfulness to her expression. Goodness she didn't even know the boil, and was almost close to acting so boldly! "Please forgive my moths and I. I've had them cooped up in my room for a long session of studying, and they get rather excited whilst traveling." a few of them on the boil crawled around to different area's, one dangling from his hair, another nestling into the fluff along his shoulders, doing the inspecting for the ghoul. The scareon however did not seem too interested in the boil, and kept her nose up, and turned away from him.

It was a good thing that the only thing fear of moths Thanatos had, was the fear that he might open his wardrobe one day to see them feeding on his clothing... Which was why he didn't flinch when some of them took to using him as a landing pad, even if he did raise an eyebrow in mild amusement.
"Oh! Look here, Than!" The snake rested neatly on his shoulder lifted her head to show off the little thing now perched on her nose; she was really only able to make out the rough shape of the moth, but she was intrigued and delighted all the same; in fact, when she realized that the ghoul was referring to her as beautiful, she grew even more delighted. Needless to say, happy snake was happy.
"She is, isn't she?" Thanatos seemed to only pay attention to that one sentence, the comment immediately putting teh demoness into his good books. Glancing down at his own familiar briefly, his expression softened ever so subtly before he looked up again, a grin on his lips as he offered a hand to her, "Her name is Biskoto, and I am Thanatos... It is a pleasure to meet you."
Carefully, as if afraid to scare the moth riding on her nose, Biskoto slid down his arm, her head stopping on top of his hand, as if to join in the hand shaking. In truth, she might be expecting - or rather, hoping for - the ghoul to give her a pat on the head, or some other form of affection... After all, she called her beautiful.

The moth perched on Biskoto slowly let its wings lower and raise, feeling at ease on the snake's snout. It did, however, adjust itself slightly, tiny feet not even giving any feeling to the snakes already guarding scales, to lay down comfortably, just on her bridge; a perfect place to not fall, and stay snug. A few more moths followed it's suit, but most took to the fluff around the snakes neck, burrowing into it slightly so only wings could be seen. It was clear that they enjoyed such texture, as it reminded them of their younger stages.. coddled in a cocoon. The moths on Thanatos remained stationary, wings only wavering slightly, picking up on the ghouls attention shift from him to the snake... making them do the same, just slightly. Their bodies were now turned towards Biskoto for the most part, a few remaining as they were, just as Evelyne-Aglaya was trying her best to split her interest. But she was a nature demon, after all! Of course a lovely snake like this would captivate her!
But she returned her masked gaze up to Thanatos, in time to see the extended hand. It was a slightly amusing gesture to her, as she wasn't used to it. Back home, this was what male's tended to do, and female's simply curtsied. Her own lifted to take his, but it didn't shake, and she instead gave a graceful, and fluid, small curtsy, "I am Evelyne-Aglaya Yeva Verochka, and it is a pleasure to meet the both of you, as well~" her voice was smooth just as the rest of her demeanor. Her hand was laxing to lower, when she noticed Biskoto's joining of the ritual, a soft chuckle rising from the ghoul, "How adorable.." she almost cooed, glancing to Thanatos, then back to the snake, "May I?" she asked, hand already lifting slightly to let a finger graze tenderly along the side of the reptiles jaw, caressing the smooth scales with care.
The scareon stationed at her ankles was not too pleased with all this... attention not directed towards her. Huffing softly, she rose to her paws, and began to walk around the demonesses legs, rubbing against them firmly to make her presence known, as well as try to veer some sort of affections her way. What was so great about that big `ol snake anyway! it was probably cold, and rough! Not soft, and warm like her~

Biskoto hissed softly, taking special care not to move around too much when more moths decided to land on her, especially since there was still one resting where she could see it; it wasn't an angry hiss, however... If anything, it sounded like the snake-equivalent of a giggle; she was feeling very much like a mode of transportation now!
"That is a really long, but beautiful sounding name," He laughed, pausing to grin at the curtsy. Really, she wasn't the only one who was amused right now; if she wanted to greet him that way... Best to return the favor, right? He held onto her hand after she was done, turning it so that the back of her hand was facing up and he was holding her fingers gently. Putting his free hand behind him and bowing in one fluid motion, he then pressed a brief and chaste kiss to her knuckles before straightening up, to smile at her, "Pleasure's all mine... I don't suppose you go by any other name? Would Eve be acceptable?"
Oh Thanatos, you.
"You may!" Biskoto chimed in the moment the reaper was done with his silly greeting; she liked this ghoul and the way she was touching her! In fact, as if to encourage her, the snake pushed up against her hand; she was enjoying the attention so much so that she had missed the Scareon. Unfortunately, the reaper who owned her was the same way.musicaloner7 idk how you pronounce her full name, so I hope the sound "Eve" was there. OTL

Dragain cx! It's actually "ehv-uh-lin", so Ev would be closer. But she won't mind! c8
As the moment came and went, she recomposed herself, smile laxing into it's calm state, rather than the giddy one it'd just been in, "I've actually not had any nicknames given to me yet, asides from one, Ev, upon arriving at the school. So you are free to call me by what ever may be easiest to say." She really didn't mind, after all nicknames often affiliated with making friends, right?
With her hand now free, most of her attention was quickly drawn to Biskoto. The doting hand gently cradled the pressing head, while her other lowered to place just under the snake's jaw, cradling it as well. She went on to allow the higher hand to stroke along the smooth scales, admiring their texture. It was clear that shedding wasn't going to be anytime soon, for those brown eyes were shiny, and bright. It must be difficult for a snake this size to molt! "Such gorgeous scales~" she cooed softly, a few moths resting on her finger's to watch the affection carried out. Her stroking hand lifted to replace just between the snake's eyes, applying the smallest amount of pressure, and slide them towards the back of the skull, to give a gentle, and smooth massage, keeping careful of her sharp demonic nails, "How are you handling this colder time of the year, Biskoto?" she asked softly, with a hint of adoration. After all, most reptiles became quite sluggish in colder regions. Her own moths slept longer, and kept in her room most of the time... as did she. But her parents always told her to keep active regardless of the temperature! ...so she would sneak in a few naps here or there to keep awake.
She did pause however as she felt the scareon brushing against her legs, looking down in slight surprise... as if forgetting the little creature was there, "Oh, Lilac. Are you hungry?" that was the usual reason for being prompted like this. Or for attention, of course...
The scareon was not pleased... Not. Pleased. At. All... a frown formed on her brows as the snake was given even MORE attention, making her huff softly once more. But as she was FINALLY recognized, she gave the most pathetic expression to the demoness, almost as if begging to be the center of all those sweet words and strokes.

While it didn't show on his face - would hate for that to ruin a good first impression - Thanatos was actually secretly rather pleased with himself and just a tad amused; perhaps those silly etiquette lessons he was asked by the elders to take came in handy after all, even if he only applied those lessons once in a blue moon.
"Ev?" He echoed, rubbing his chin before breaking out in a grin, "Well, Ev it is then! Wouldn't want to confuse anyone by giving you multiple nicknames, after all!" He could deal with that! Besides, it was a name that was short and easy to remember.
"Why, thank you for assssking, darling! I sssstay inssside when it'sss cold," If snakes could purr, Biskoto would be purring by now; instead, she hissed softly at the ghoul's touch, leaning in for more, "And Than got me a heat lamp, so I'm alwayssss comfortable in the room." When the demoness' attention was drawn away from her, she looked down as well, noticing the scrareon for the first time; for a split second, her mind registered it as 'food', but it soon became clear that the scareon had an owner.
Thanatos, too, noticed the scareon for the first time. However, before he could comment, the word 'hungry' reminded him that they were still in the cafeteria... And probably should take a seat.
"Since I am in a particularly good mood today," He was obviously teasing, although he did offer the ghoul his hand, inviting her to take it, "May I have the honor of treating you to lunch?"

Her fingers gently traced around the strong eye sockets of the snake, taking great interest in the various scales that were lifted from her body, stroking them with a tender touch. Such a beautiful specimen, Biskoto was. In truth, Evelyne-Aglaya hadn't seen a snake this size in real life before! She'd read of them, and been told of them, but this was quite a treat! As the reaper came to a conclusion name wise, she gave him a warm smile, and nodding in approval, "It's quite exciting having a nickname, finally." At home, everyone had long names! Longer than hers, even! It was usually a sign of laziness or disrespect if one were to shorten it, but Ev found it fun, and a sign of bonding.
A few of her roots that formed her legs coiled more, and practically... breathed, with the joy she was feeling, especially with Biskoto explaining the care that the reaper gave her. Hand sliding down the sleek head to the ruff around the neck, passing it and the moths nested there, Ev stroked a few more scales in admiration, "I can tell how magnificently he takes care of you~" she cooed, fingers supporting the jaw gently brushing it to feel the even smoother scales. "And you're so sweet, as well." she continued to praise, clearly just awe-struck by the grand reptile. "I'm sure you look forward to the warmer months, with lots of game to catch, hm?" Oh if she could have one of her own~ Her mind gave it's own wistful sigh. If only, if only~
With her eyes returning to Lilac who was now rubbing around the slender legs of the demoness, making sure she was kept in the loop, Ev let her gaze return to Thanatos, and down at the offered hand. Again, that slight bashfulness took to her lax smile, a soft giggle lifting from her, "That sounds delightful~" she replied smoothly. Gently, she bent a little so as to press a very ginger kiss to Biskoto's snout, in a way of parting for the time being, and let her hands slowly release so that the snake could get comfy back onto her owner's arm. Looking back to the boil, Ev took to his side, her moths fluttering instantly to readjust, and resettled just as quickly and gracefully. Her hand took to his delicately, "You both are quite a charming pair, I must say~"

"Finally? Well, if you like nicknames so much, you could always introduce your given name and nickname! I'm sure that most people would appreciate having a shorter name to address you by," He laughed softly, wondering what sort of a background the ghoul came from, to find having a nickname exciting. Of course, her fascination with the little things also made her rather cute.
"Than is amazing," Biskoto nodded in agreement before hissing happily; if snakes could blush, she would probably be glowing red by now, "Why, thank you, Ev darling! And yesss I do... I love the outdoorssss, but when it'ssss cold, I would alwayssss prefer to sssstay indoorsss, under the warmth of my heat lamp..." She trailed off, bashfully dipping her head at the kiss before returning to rest her head on the reaper's shoulder.
"Is that so? Well, I'm glad you think so!" He grinned, feeling rather proud of himself at that, putting her hand on his arm before walking straight towards the nearest empty table in the cafeteria. There, he removed her hand from him and moved to stand behind an empty seat. Putting it out, he gestured to it with a little bow and a wave of his hand, his grin widening, "Ladies first."
Yup, he was enjoying himself so much.

Well now there was an idea! Introducing both names! "That's a grand idea!" she chimed with a bit more gusto to her usually smooth, calm voice. If Thanatos was curious of her having a nickname, than surely others would be! It was settled. From now on, there would be an alternative{shorter} name given alongside her entire one. After all, she couldn't give up such a tradition she'd learned since birth! But alterations were always acceptable.
Following alongside the reaper, her scareon Lilac was NOT at all pleased with how close the boil was walking beside Evelyne-Aglaya. She made it quite clear, too... she positioned herself between the two students, making sure he couldn't get too close at all... even started walking a bit closer to him, fanning out her wings, to give more space. There wasn't much she could do about him holding Ev's hand captive, but she'd do her best to make things more difficult on the ground! Her tail was held high, along with her chin, a few glares shot at Thanatos and Biskoto frequently... They annoyed her already. But Ev gave no mind to the pompous little thing, as fueling it too much could only make the scareon think it was ok to continue such behavior. Besides, she had so many questions starting to form in her mind for the reaper and Biskoto!
First, they needed to sit. If she was going to try and not bombard them with questions, it was best to have something else to focus on at the same time. At the display, she gave another soft giggle, before giving a small curtsy to him in thanks, and neatly taking her seat. The moths that were perched on her flitted daintily to settle onto some of the table, inspecting it as per usual, and aligning themselves into a very organized line across the edge.
Sitting up, back straight, and hands neatly resting in her lap, Ev waited until Thanatos had taken his seat as well to begin speaking once more, "Have the two of you been here long? I've just been accepted in not but a month or so ago." Lilac settled herself beside the ghoul, leaning annoyed that Thanatos took her usual seat... but she knew better than to try and hop up on his lap and claim it back. Ev wouldn't be too pleased with such behavior.

"Glad to help!" He laughed, briefly looking at the scareon who seemed hell bent on keeping him away... Not that he could blame her, of course, seeing how he was doing such a good job of holding her owner's attention!
After taking his seat, his familiar slowly started to unwrap herself from him, slithering down from his arm to make loose, messy coils on the table, taking great care to avoid squishing any of Ev's moths. After making herself comfortable, she turned from one student to another and gave each of them a snaky smile; while she wasn't going to eat with them, the familiar had always enjoyed watching people eat; the whole idea of chewing amused her... Why chew when you could just unhinge your jaw and swallow things whole?
"I've only been here for a week or so, actually," He grinned, idly patting Biskoto, "So I'm even newer to the school than you are! Ah right... Let's see..." He turned to look at the menu on display, "Let's see what they have... Jollymeal A, Jollymeal B..." Pausing, he turned back to face the ghoul, one eyebrow raised, "Jollymeals A to J. I'm guessing that the meal itself is a surprise until you actually buy it?" That's actually... Rather interesting.

Her moths took to inspecting the table respectively, walking a few paces, pausing, and returning back to where they were. There were some who ventured over to Biskoto to comfortably rest with her again, many burrowing into her fluffy collar, and others just littering along her lovely scales. It was treat for Ev to see, giving a slight daydreamy appearance to her expression. She was a nature demon after all! How precious... she always loved when creatures coincided with one another like this. Especially one's who often times might not get along all that well. She could watch such a scene for hours~
But her attention returned to the reaper, giving him the same smile she had held for their duration of interacting, hands folding neatly in her lap, while her legs peeled a little to allow some of the coiled vines some time to relax from such a flexed and tight position. "Ah, is that so?" she asked with intrigue, smile lifting at the corners of her mouth a little more, "How are you liking it so far?" The two seemed so comfortable here already, it was a bit hard to believe they'd just moved in this week!
As Thanatos read off the menu, a soft giggle rose from her, but a nod was given in response, "Yes that seems to be the theme around here." her masked eyes scanned off to the side, eyeing a few of the meals that other students had at their tables, "But if you ask some of our fellow peers of their chosen meal, I'm certain you might get a closer idea to what you're getting once you choose your designated letter. I'm feeling quite fond of the soup that's been presumed to be an option. It's piqued my interest." a few moths fluttered past Thanatos to glide gracefully to the menu board, hovered around it, as if acting like Ev's eyeline, walked along the board, and returned back just as sweetly. "But I do enjoy surprises~" she tacked on, eyeing the list of options once more, "Does a specific letter attract your eye yet?" her own were honed in on E. That's the one she was putting her silver on!

"It's a pretty interesting place," He chuckled softly; as interesting as the meals it offered in the cafeteria, and just as surprising, seeing how his first conversation was with a fellow reaper... Who had apparently experienced the 'mystical' Hunters first hand, "The students had been pleasant, but I had yet to attend any of the available classes..."
None of the offered courses had caught his attention... Besides, while this was 'school', he had enough of constant studying back home. It was nice to be able to take breaks whenever he wished to.
"I like surprises too," Grinning, he turned to look at the menu again, "I shall start with the letter A then, and make my way down the list... How about you? Ah, does the menu change often or even at all?" He didn't want to try A now, only to find out that next week's "Jollymeal B" was this week's "Jollymeal A"; that would actually be rather disappointing.

Dragain It's ok~ sorry if she's a bit boring. cx
With his decision met, she pondered the question, "Well, they're supposed to follow the same sort of line, though mistakes can be made at times." there were numerous occasions when a meal would say one thing, but hold an entirely different one. You had probably a 7o% chance of getting the one you wanted! "I think I'll be trying E this time around." her moths seemed to... form the letter on the table before her... the tricky little things.
