It had seemed like the Famine Trials had went on for short of forever when in fact it had only been a few hours. Then again that was probably because she and her teammates watched as their creation got hit with an array of things and in the end their creation exploded. What an awesome sandcastle they had built! Circe beamed proudly as she made her way down the steps near her dorm room after waking up just moments before from a several hour rest. When they had arrived back at the dorms the ghoul had more or less crashed as soon as she hit her bed.
When she hit the end of the steps she sat down on the last one and began to stretch out her muscles. To say the least, her muscles were revolting against the stretching. Luckily she had learned from past experience that if she didn't stretch now she would only live to regret it more later. "Owwwww. QAQ" Circe said as she began stretching her arms and then her left hand. "OW!!!" She said, her eyes welling up with tears.
That was right. She had hurt it while fighting the crab. And then it hit her that she just so happened to know someone who could heal things. A smile once more written on her features as she made her way down another set of steps and then eventually to Roch's room. Knock knock. Was made on the boils dorm room door. "What if he is asleep?" She said, it now dawning on her that he had fought those giant creatures too.
Ice Queen People needed my attention. ouo This took far longer then it should have.

The doorknob turned slowly, the door swinging open on its own, apparently. A tiny little will o the wisp peeked out at her, then promptly tried to close the door on her. "Rifffff," Roch called warningly. "Let them in." The little will of the wisp gave poor Circe a chiding look before fluttering away, leaving the reaper ghoul to enter. The punk boil was lounging in his large papasan couch turned bed, looking quite lazy and rather tan. He took a second to look surprised at the ghoul that had just came. "Hey, Circe!" he said, grinning. "C'mon in!"

"Oh hell--" The ghoul began to say before she realized the one who had opened the door was in fact not Roch but a will o the wisp. And not only that she intended to shut the door on her. Thankfully Roch told her to let her in. However that did not stop the ghoul from giving her an awful look.
Deciding it was okay to enter, Circe made her way through the doorway and then shut the door behind her. When she turned back around and noticed Roch lounging she smiled and happily skipped over to him. "You're bodyguard sure is tough!" She said, lightly pushing his tan shoulder. "Maybe they should have her be our next opponent. Evening training with West would not help me against her." Circe laughed.
"How are.... You doing?" She asked, curious to know if he had been hurt during the trials, but also wanting to know what all had happened to him and his team.

"She only does that to the cute ones," he told her, giving her a grin. "And hell, I'm fine. I did get assaulted by interviewers earlier, but I managed to get out without killing anyone!" he bragged. "We barely managed to keep the sandcastle, but hell, I didn't have too high of expectations, so I'm pretty happy as far as that goes." He looked at her, frowning slightly. "You okay? I know Danny got a bit banged up during the fight with the Kraken, did you?" Danny was a knob, so it sort of figured that a snot like Circe would have had a worse time, right?

At Roch's response Circe's cheeks turned slightly pink but obviously pretended like she hadn't heard him say anything at all. "They went after you too?" She asked, shaking her head. "Right before I slept for short of forever I had to deal with them too." Circe sighed. "That is good news!" She replied as she patted his shoulder.
However, her smile quickly disappeared. "I hurt my wrist fighting the giant king crab. But apart from that I actually didn't get hurt!" She nodded, a slight smile coming back to her features. "Which was actually why I came to see you...." She trailed off. For a moment Circe looked down at her left wrist, then back up at Roch. "Can you heal my wrist?" Circe asked in a pleading voice. "I'll buy you eye scream and pizza." She added with a wink, a slight edge of flirtatiousness in her voice.

"I can try," Roch said hesitantly. "But if it's broke we might need to take you to Cricket," he told her. "I can only heal surface stuff, bruises and cuts and stuff. I mean, soon as they open up a class for the heavier stuff I'm goin, me and Jove tend to do a lot of damage during our weekly fight, but--" He shrugged and reached for the wrist in question. He could try, at least!

"I don't think it's broken..." She said, clearly unsure on whether or not it was. "Jove? Is that another one of your friends?" Circe asked as she let Roch do what he needed to heal it or see if he even could. "Do you have an interest in healing? Or do you just take the classes so that you don't have to see nurse Cricket?" Circe asked honestly. Despite having met Roch a couple times, she really knew very little about the boil.

"Mostly to avoid Cricket," Roch admitted. "She's creepy as hell, which I guess is a compliment, but I... well, Jove's one of my bros, and he's a ghost, but I'm still dealin' with the whole 'ghost problem' that I got," he told her, summoning his guitar and bringing up his FEAR as he touched the wrist in question. "Is it starting to feel better?" he asked.

Roch's response was quickly met with a laugh from the ghoul. "That I can understand. I went to the Sex Ed class." Circe shuddered at the memory. "My first ever class with her and it had to be that." She sighed. "You have a problem with ghosts?" Circe asked, clearly confused and beyond curious to know what and why he did.
When the fellow Reaper began to use his FEAR to heal her Circe nodded, a clear and happy grin once more present on her features. "Yeah! It feels SO much better!" And then she thought a bit more about her aching muscles and the chance to maybe try and embarrass Roch Circe fell into him for a second and then looked up at him with doe like eyes. "Muscle spasm." She lied, though putting on a poker face. "It's to bad you can't heal them." Circe said, batting her eyelashes up at him.

The punk boil started flushing, even with his tan. "Look, um, y'know, I--" he stuttered, trying to figure out how to put it. "I'm not really... uh... lookin' for a ghoulfriend... at the moment," he said, looking so stressed. "I mean, I'm learnin' how to flirt right now, but--" He face palmed, feeling like a moron.

Circe noticed right away that her plan had worked and maybe even a bit more then she had expected. Though, it wasn't her intention to have a boilfriend right now anyways. Or so she thought. "Oh really?" She asked, moving just a tiny bit closer into him. "So you don't think I'm cute?" Circe asked, flirtatiousness once more seeping through. And then her now healed hand moved up to his collar. "You know, I'm an excellent flirt. I could teach you a few things." She winked. It took every once of will power for her not to burst with laughter over Roch's face palm. Her plan had worked so well! She made a mental note to torture him like this again in the near future.
Ice Queen Oh Roch. XDDD Enjoyment at your expense.

He looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "You gonna not take it serious?" he asked. "Cuz I got Mitzi helpin' me with flirting too, but the more help I got, y'know?" he asked, still a bit red on the neck. "If you promise not to take it serious, hell, I'd be happy to learn anything you can teach me."

"Why would I take it serious?" She asked, raising one brow now curious to know what he meant. "Well, I will gladly help you learn how to flirt with all the ghouls in the school. Soon they will be like putty in your hands." She laughed and then stood up, moving to sit beside Roch. "So show me what you have learned so far." Circe said, nudging his shoulder with her's.

"Actually, this one Calder told me would work, wanna see it?" Roch asked, summoning his guitar and pulling the strap over his shoulders. Then he started strumming, turning so he was facing her slightly. And he started to sing in a raspy, somewhat deep voice. " Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe..."

"Calder?" She asked. How many friends did this boil have? Clearly she needed to be taking lessons from him on how to make friends. "Yeah." She nodded as Roch began to play his guitar.
* A *
Yeah. Roch was going to certainly get all the ghouls. Especially if he sang and played his guitar. What ghoul didn't dream of being serenaded? "Calder is right. You will certainly get all of the ghouls attention if you sing and play your guitar." She said, clearly still and awe and totally swooning. "But!" She said, breaking her moment of mega swoonage. "After you get their attention you'll need to follow up with something. Or, you need to be able to flirt and entice them enough so that they will want you to sing to them." Circed added. Was she making any sense? She certainly hoped so.
