Speed dating. Jove wasn't sure he knew what was going on, but his brother... His brother had ushered him over with that terribly suspicious smile. The idea of so many picnics all at once baffled him, and the moment his gryphon brother left him alone, the pup was even more confused. He thought they would be eating together... Jove settled down on the blanket he was gestured to, and nervously fidgeted with his hands. It seemed like a group of people were being paired off, and he was somehow part of a pair. Was this what his brother had abandoned him to? Chatting and eating chocolates with someone he didn't know yet? The pup made himself comfortable, sitting on his feet and curling his tail around himself. At a first glance he could even be mistaken for a cute ghoul as he shyly glanced around, waiting for his talking-partner.

"You're Jove, right?" Came a smooth voice, and the frost demon approached, sitting across from the other with ease. Etzer reached up and pulled his hair over his shoulder, fingers sliding over the strands a bit nervously, but the act helped to calm him.
"I'm Etzer. Pleased to make your acquaintance." He gave a small smile, glancing at the basket. "Have you gotten a chance to look through the food yet?" To be honest, the frost demon hadn't really eaten until that point, save for the one sugar heart that had given him buttwings. Never again.

Jove nodded timidly, watching the demon pull a long braid of hair over his shoulder. His brother once had long hair too. Maybe not that long... The pup tilted his head slightly as he considered it. Ears perked, and then Jove regarded the basket with curiosity. He had noticed it, but was it for them? Really? His tail wagged hesitantly, but he let the demon make the move to open it.

Tilting his head again, Etzer offered another smile. Perhaps he was shy?
Opening the basket, he bowed his head slightly and gracefully tilted the basket towards Jove. "After you. Be my guest." He wanted to be polite, and not mess this up. The boil was pretty cute.

Jove's tail wagged a bit more certainly. This student was nicer than he would have imagined, maybe he shouldn't have doubted Ren's intentions setting him up on this sort of playdate. Had he known the gryphon's true intentions he might have been the worst sort of company. But ignorance was definitely the way to go. The pup peered into the basket with perked ears and pulled out some chocolates, offering his companion first pick of whatever he wanted. He had never had chocolates like this before, usually only chocolate chips in spookies. Hopefully the 'no chocolate for puppies' rule only applied to the living ones, not the dead ghostly ones.

Shy and... not talking. Being a properly bred demon, however, Etzer took the chocolates with a murmur of thanks, taking a bite of his own chocolate.
Huh. It wasn't bad, even though he liked the fruitier things of life. Chocolate he could deal with on some occasions, but give him fruit over chocolate any day.
The frost demon peered at Jove again, lips twisting as he attempted to think of something to say.

Jove didn't seem uncomfortable in the silence, quite the opposite. His body language was relaxed, ears swiveling casually to pick up the ambient sounds as he unwrapped a chocolate and popped it into his mouth. His tail curled up happily to rest against his lower back. This was indeed pleasant, the little ghost thought as he swallowed the tasty chocolate and licked his lips. When he once again looked at Etzer, the pup's head tilted. What was that weird face for? Did he have something silly on his own face? Jove's head tilted the other way as he subtly tried to wipe his mouth on his sleeve. No... It had to be something else. Maybe the demon was thirsty. Jove peered back in the basket in search of a drink. Sadly... he had no experience with soda cans, and these were emptied out of the basket as he looked for a more recognizable beverage container, like bottles of water, or juice boxes.

Ah! The ears! They talked enough! He picked up "ear language" from his brother until he understood his moods, and now he understood that the other was particularly relaxed.
Etzer smiled, deciding to break the ice.
"Do you have any favorite hobbies or anything?"
Wait. A thought occurred to him. If he did end up dating this boil... wouldn't it be like dating Molan only in a less grumpy form? He wasn't sure what he thought about that.
He didn't have time to worry any longer, as the buzzer rang the signal that the 'date' was over. Etzer smiled at the other boil, bowing his head slightly.
