The soft snow crunched underfoot as he ran towards the gym. It was the kind of crisp morning that left a chill on your skin, every breath pulling icy air deep into your lungs and sending out plumes of white vapour. The pumpkin sun barely penetrated the frozen atmosphere to bring relief from the cold.
Jove was undeterred, needing neither warmth nor breath, or even the light of the pumpkin sun, to be enthusiastically zipping across campus. His boots skidded in the snow as he rounded the corner, and then slipped again on the floor as he burst through the gym doors. Somehow he maintained his footing, the soles of his boots letting out a loud squeak to announce his presence even before the gym doors banged shut behind him.
Then with ears perked and tail wagging, he whirled around in the center of the gym and stood completely still, staring at the door. The puppy was waiting for his friend to come play.

Apparently Jove was really really eager to go to the gymnasium with him. The wolpertinger was just as excited, however, at the prospect of a rematch, and one where the other boils strength would be at it's fullest. It would be a true test, now, and one that Mathias foolishly hoped he could still win. But he wouldn't, it seemed, be winning the race to get there. It hadn't taken Mathias long to learn that his little friend could move fast, his speed near impossible to keep up with, though the monster did try, his boots discarded as fur covered and clawed feet pushed through the snow, each step a spring that spanned more distance then any normal legs could cover. His hands were balled into fists at his sides, his breath huffed out rapidly, leaving puffs of fog in the cold, crisp air. Ears gone completely white were pinned back along hair that had done much the same, and by the time he reached the gym, skidding inside with snow matted feet, his darkly tanned cheeks were red with exertion. "Fine. You vin." He laughed, as he slid to a stop, leaving a trail of now melting snow behind him. "Vas good race, though. Von day vill be fast as you. Nein, no! faster!" He proclaimed, while swinging his arms and rolling his shoulders, then bouncing from foot to foot with quick, huffing breaths, getting himself loosened up and ready for the spar to come.

"Keep dreaming boil, I haven't been able to catch that fuzz ball in a fair fight or a race since I've met him." The voice came from above, a near by rope started to shimmer as something glowing faintly purple moved above them. There was a rattle of dog tags and a chain around her neck before the thundering slam of her steel tipped boots hitting the ground.
Two second later Sammy was lunging for Jove trying to pin the sly little foxfire, "C'mere you little fuzz brain you're getting pets and you're going to like it!"

Jove tensed up eagerly, ready to spring. His speed was something he never had to think twice about. He had two things going for him, one being his ghostly race, any proper wisp knew they had to stay ahead of everyone else, is was their nature. And the second… Well, anyone who tried to actually catch a foxfire with a case of the zooms knew it was a near-impossible feat. Yet it was only through his experiences at the academy that he learned he had more to rely on than speed. If he had a heart, it would be racing with excitement at the thought of putting his fighting skills to the test again. One ear swivelled around as a voice sounded from overhead, and Jove immediately knew what was coming. He leapt backwards, away from the undead ghoul, and threw out dozens of little tendrils to keep her at arm's length. For any other ghoul he would have stood still and tolerated the petting and hugging and general ghouly behaviour, but Sammy was different. She had already proved that point. She was too rough and sensible to be treated like a ghoul, and simply would not tolerate his usual gentlemanly behaviour!

The young wolpertinger boil had no idea what to think when a voice interrupted from over head, his head turning to the side then tilting up ever so slightly to glance upwards with one eye, an ear perking in that direction. He often could not tell if it was a ghoul or a boil speaking from voice alone, so he thought it best to be cautious.... And then something, or somebody, landed quite hard against the ground, rattling his bones up to his fangs and making him jump slightly, his ears pinning back and his eyes suddenly narrowing. "Vas not asking for opinion." He sneered, not knowing the person he addressed, though also not quite willing to look at them full on in case it was a ghoul. "Am here only for fighting and---" Well, he didn't get to say much on the matter before whoever it was began chasing after Jove, putting a wrinkle in Mathias's plans to spar for the day. Arm's crossed over his chest. A large, white furred foot began to tap impatiently against the floor. Teeth began to grind together in agitation. "Vill be vaiting here vhen finished." He muttered, indignantly, mostly to himself, though not caring if the others heard or not.

Sammy knew the tendrils, she wasn't shocked when an unseen force suddenly kept her in place winding around her arms and shoulders holding her back from the tiny fox fire boil. She squirmed against them, bursts of purple fear fire flickering along her arms as she tried to break through.
"Aw c'mon that's cheating you know it, you knoooow it!" Stepping back she untangled herself from his grasp looking at the other boil with a smirk. "Sorry, didn't mean to ruin your fun but I like tormenting the little puff ball. He still has yet to let me win a fight even when I crack his skull in." She made a feint to pat his head again, right on the spot she once put an elbow.
"Seriously. Don't be such a grump..." She squinted, her purple flaming eyes seeming to get brighter as she watched the other boil. "Don't tell me you're like Jove...."

Jove didn't exactly smile in return as he held back Sammy's advance, but there was a mischievous light in his eyes that had nothing to do with his natural glow. Cheating was okay every now and again. Yet when she made a second attempt at petting his soft hair, he acquiesced. The foxfire had found that was as close to the ghoul-treatment line as he could get, occasionally letting the little pats land. His tail wagged once at Sammy's words, and he bared his teeth widely. Almost as if saying "Look, see they all grew back fine." Just as white and sharp as ever. A murmur from the wolpertinger was enough to make Jove's ears perk up. He didn't seem very pleased at all, even though Sammy was fun and liked to fight too. His head tilted. "Matt...ty?" He said quietly, brows furrowing. He wasn't entirely sure how to pronounce his friend's name, and accidentally appended it to a cute and overly friendly nickname without even realizing it. Another second... And then the pup practically sprang out of Sammy's grasp and dove to cover his friend's eyes. The ghoul thing! He had completely forgotten, was that why Mathias was so disgruntled all of a sudden?

Yes Mathias was a grumpy butt. A major grumpy butt who could sulk with the best of them should the occasion call for it. Say what anyone will, call him a baby, he didn't care. Certain things just pissed him off and he wasn't going to hide it. So when the ghoul or boil or whatever it was told him not to be a grump, he glanced up with a sharp, narrowed gaze, lip pulling back from his teeth, and flipped her the bird. Who even knew really where he learned such crude hand gestures. Now he might have had an issue with the fact that he had just looked straight at a ghoul, but again it was just as though his brain could not quote decide what the stranger actually was. Not feminine enough, with that quick glance, to set off any triggers. And when Jove spoke, a rarity not often heard, his ears and eyes swivelled towards him, startled, but somewhat pleased, even if the boil didn't quite say his name right. He also then realized he was being quite rude towards what was obviously one of Jove's friends, and his ears wilted slightly. "Ach, am sorry, Jove, did not mean t---" His words cut off short when suddenly his friend was diving in front of him, covering his eyes. Wait, what? Oh. Ohhhhhhhhhh. "........Of course is ghoul!" He exclaimed out loud, "Only vun vould be so troublesome."

Sammy finally got what she wanted, slipping in next to the tiny boil ruffling his hair as she wanted. Jove couldn't escape forever, she would spend a whole spar trying to get at those tiny little ears if she wanted to. Do not deny this ghoul her petting time, never-ever-ever.
When he bared his fangs she only made a face, tugging at the corner of one eye socket pulling the empty hole into an awkward stretched feature as she stuck out her tongue. But her hand fell as her jaw dropped. Eyes wide purple flames inside bursting from their eye like shape into pure flames of shock.
"YOU LITTLE JACKING s**t YOU CAN TALK!"
Scrambling closer she tried to tug the little fox fire away from the grumpy boil. Matty. Who was giving her the bird. That earned him a narrow stare and a squint from both her burning eyes. She continued to make this stare as she attempted to grab and drag Jove away into a hug, which was hard considering he was trying to avert Matty from seeing her, and he had a series of invisible tendrils to help.
"Yeah I'm a ghoul what of it?" She was still trying to tug Jove away, stop cheating fluff ball, she only wanted to reward you for saying your first (as far as she knew) words! It was also fairly apparent she was a ghoul given the tight tank top she was wearing for working out in the gym.

Jove made a little noise in his throat, half way between a murmur and a grumble as he focused on keeping his friend's eyes covered. Even if Mathias didn't like ghouls, he should at least be pleasant to them. Sammy was no exception even if she wasn't the typical ghoul. You couldn't just tell ghouls they were troublesome! He turned sharply at Sammy's exclamation, spinning on his heels and jerking Mathias around in the process. Of course he could talk! The pup frowned and stuck his tongue out. He wasn't a minipet after all, why would she think he couldn't? Jove thought he was safe from the petting, but he quickly realized he was wrong. Sammy had had her pets, now she would have to work for them! He ducked behind the wolpertinger, keeping Matty in between himself and Sammy even as he kept his friend's eyes covered. But suddenly an idea struck him, and he quickly abandoned the challenge of avoiding one friend and blinding the other. Taking his hands off Matty's face, he bounced back and watched intently to see what would happen.

Ghouls were also loud. Add that to the list of reasons why Mathias didn't like them very much. "Of course he can talk." Mathias growled, even while Jove continued to cover his eyes, which was not exactly necessary as he could just look at the ground, but he appreciated the gesture anyways. "Vhat kind of friend are you, to not be knowing that?" Sorry, Jove, Mathias had opinions and he didn't bother keeping those opinions to himself very often. "Ghouls are pain in Arsch." He was his response to her question, even as he was suddenly, and without any warning, moved very abruptly by Jove. His arms stuck out straight at his sides as hes stumbled along the gym floor, trying to keep himself from falling. What in the hell was going on? "Jove, vhat..." He began, feeling that the boil was suddenly now behind him, which gave him the sinking feeling he was being used as a shield and.... Hands were gone, leaving Mathias blinking red eyes in the sudden brightness, and then leaving him staring at what was quite obviously a pair of very well developed bosoms, as indicated by the tight shirt that clung to them both, giving them a definite shape. Jove was a terrible friend. A horrible, terrible, never again to be trusted friend. Mathias sank to his knees, his ears falling slightly as warm feelings bloomed from within, erasing everything else, filling him with nothing but appreciation for the ghoul in front of him, and a sudden, desperate need to fulfill any desires she wished. "Most apologies." He bowed his head, before tilting it back up to gaze at Sammy with wide eyes filled with pure adoration. "Am not finding ghouls troublesome. Not such beautiful creatures. Vould only vish to serve them in all vays. How can be making things up to you?" He was all yours, Sammy, completely and utterly ready and eager to please.

Sammy of course was squirming and fighting her way towards JOve none the less even as he mumbled and grumbled at her in his usual tone that was far less words. She didn't mind the troublesome remarks, she made trouble and it followed her around so it didn't phase her at all.
"I've known him for a while he won't even say hi he just does those little noises!" She huffed ever so slightly, poking at Jove again, "So rude you little fluff ball, and who are you just being a jerk because I'm a ghoul?"
Suddenly the strange boil was shoved in front of her, she cocked her head trying to lean around Matty to get a look at Jove who was now hiding fully behind the other boil. That was when Matty suddenly dropped to his knees leaving Sammy and Jove staring at each other as Matty practically begged Sammy to forgive and abuse him.
"....What the jack?" Her head cocked to the side and she crouched down to level eyes with the strange boil. "What's with the sudden mood switch? Jove you do this too him?" She reached to her hips tugging at a pair of reins hidden in a small bag. "I didn't even break out the trinket to get this..."

Rude? He wasn't being a jerk at all! Sammy had understood him fine when he acted like himself, so why were words such a big deal? He had wagged his tail when greeting her, surely that was enough of a hello! Jove puffed up with indignation. But only for a second, because the next thing he knew Matty was down on his knees and talking crazy again. The pup let out a long, disappointed sigh. This experiment was a failure. Matty had been mostly okay before he knew for sure that Sammy was a ghoul... But he couldn't just go around not looking at anyone forever! No wonder he could behave in such a rude manner, he was probably missing all the body language that Jove took for granted. With a little huff Jove knelt too, and put his hands back over the wolpertinger's eyes. Then he gave Sammy an apologetic look. He just had to be sure...

It was interesting to find out that Jove had perhaps spoken to Mathias more then he had the ghoul who was currently accosting him, but only in a passing thought, not one really worth dwelling over for too long. Ghouls were obviously just not worth the time to speak to. Obviously. Of course, now Mathias couldn't think about anything except all of the wonderful beauty directly in front of him, and how he might be able to serve her, to make her happy, to be hers and hers alone.... His eyes remained locked on hers even as she lowered herself down to his level, a dopey, adoration filled look in his eyes and on his face. "Again I am apologizing. Vas not good of me to be so short of temper before. Very pretty ghouls should be treated vith most respect and kindness." He nodded, then reached out as though to try and take her hand in his. "Vut must I be doing to make things up to you?" And then darkness as something passed over his eyes, blocking the ghoul from view. "Ach!" He instinctively jerked backwards, bumping the back of his head against Jove as he tried to get away from that which was obscuring his vision from the beautiful thing he was staring at before.

Sammy just sort of gave Jove a look that said everything, are you kidding me? You hang out with this guy? You the trouble starting little fluff hang out with this rather odd, rude, and now groveling boil. Who EW was kinda hitting on her?
"Your practically drooling over me at this point." She frowned at Mathias in irritation, she was sued to some harassing from other students, but never something like this. No one had ever hit on her really. Siddie flirted, sure, but this was different and almost irritating it felt fake and weird.
"I'm not some pretty ghoul..." she scowled, "Don't treat me like that." Suddenly he was jerking back headbutting Jove and evoking a laugh from the ghoul. "Serves you right for the way you're acting..."
