Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jove had just been leaving the ghost dorm common room. He didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary, but suddenly he heard a thud from behind him. He glanced back over his shoulder with a suspicious expression, only to see a ghoul face-planted on the carpet.

He turned around, eyes narrowed, and then crouched down next to the ghoul. The stare was intended as a silent question. A couple actually, are you okay, and where did you come from?

Jove's brows furrowed, and the silent staring match continued. One ear swivelled, as though listening to something behind him, and then returned to it's forward position. She was offering no explanations, so he could only guess.

Was she an apparating ghost? His head slowly tilted to one side. No... Perhaps she had tried to phase through something and phased right through the floor instead? The pup's head tilted the other way. No, they didn't have any upper floors here. And it would be a long fall from aboveground. Perhaps she had eaten some bad mushrooms and returned to her original height?

That was just ridiculous, why did size-changing mushrooms even come to mind.

Rather than speaking up and just... asking the ghoul, Jove decided to sit down and continue to watch her with a perplexed expression.

Jove wasn't entirely sure what to make of the sudden change in situation.

But he knew one thing, and that was that this ghoul was a ghoul, and a new one at that, and he had to make a good impression. She couldn't be that bad if she was willing to introduce herself so enthusiastically and crawl across the floor in a dress. He would let the 'cute' comment slide for now.

He offered a tail wag to return the greeting, and stuck his hand out for a shake. "Jove," he said by way of introduction.

The patience of dogs could be quite an amazing thing, even in little dogs like Jove. He watched with only a little concern as she babbled on about embarrassing things like him being cute and stuff, but he could forgive her, most ghouls seemed to think all sorts of things were cute. And... he could grudgingly admit most foxfires had a tendency to look 'pretty' when they weren't looking stupid.

He nodded with another tail wag, he was indeed a ghost. Then, scrambling to his feet, he offered a hand to help her up as well. He had no objection to being on the floor, but being on the floor in the hallway could be a health hazard.

Face to face with such enthusiasm... Jove blushed slightly and looked down and away with a little frown. It was no big deal, wasn't that how all boils were supposed to act? After a minute of bashful avoidance, he glanced up at the ghoul once again.

Where had she come from anyway? Jove gave the ceiling an inquisitive look, and then began scrutinizing the walls. Occasionally he glanced back at the ghoul with a very slight tail wag, as though reassuring her they would get to the bottom of this mystery.

Jove watched with head tilted as the ghoul picked up the unfamiliar mirror. Why had he not noticed it before? But Alette didn't seem to find it strange in the slightest. Well, if she wasn't concerned, he couldn't see anything wrong.

With a slight wag of the tail, he tilted his head in a 'follow me' gesture. He wasn't sure what this ghoul thought was fun, but he could show her a few things at least!
