Goblin' It Up Errand Main Thread Fin

Quietly enjoying the Movie...

Well, Piérre’s little adventure in the realms of Trick or Treating was finally concluded, and with a sigh, he finally took off the black silk mask that he had donned for nearly the entire trip around the whole school. He had been busy as a bee, and his adventure had paid off; a bucket full of candy helped in a Jack O Lantern gave testament to that. At this point, however, though he was usually quite energetic, on a night like this, it was only fitting that the clown took his rest, allowing others to take on the mantle of the jester. For now, Piérre was content to sit alone and relax for once, quietly nibbling on his candy.

Naturally, he would start with chocolate frogs, busting them open and collecting the cards within. He was aspiring to collect every card for his already rather extensive collection. He had even received double of cards already! Yet... there was a long way to go, and so it laid upon Piérre’s ambitious shoulders to collect and own every card that there was.

Of course, Piérre had brought Figaro here as well, and his silver Bengal was all entwined around his legs, purring and meowing insistingly at his brother and begging for the boy to drop a morsel of candy. ”Uh-no... You eat that candy and you will get very sick, Figaro, and I got to be responsible for you no matter what. I’m your brother, after all, right?” Piérre picked his cat up and rubbed noses with the Bengal, earning a surprised meow from his kitten. Well, Piérre couldn’t really call Figaro a kitten anymore... indeed, the cat was almost coming up in his first birthday, which would be taking place in December. Piérre vowed that he would have the best birthday party ever for his cat when the time came; even better than his own parties.

Glancing around the room, Piérre noticed the people interacting with others. A part of him wanted to walk up and say hi, but another part of him wanted to stay seated and focus solely on the movie. Regardless of if he had seen it before... he loved a good movie. He settled instead for picking at the collar of his costume, which was the one that he had also utilized for the Masquerade Ball weeks prior. May as well get as much use out of it before the newness of it wore away.

When the movie was over, Piérre would be found fast asleep, curled up in a ball with his candy pressed to his chest and Figaro guarding him by laying on his brother’s back...

@Xailah Alptraum

Indeed, the boy seemed all sorts of off-kilter. He hadn't even acknowledged how handsome Schrödinger looked as a pumpkin, nor acknowledged the feline at all, and even called Xailah a word! It wasn't an especially awful word. In fact, numpty was on the sillier side as far as endearments go. Yet the moment it left his lips, he regretted it (besides "bird", guilt seemed to be his theme tonight), and Pericles would accept his bops with quiet capitulation. Since when was he terse towards her ribbing? Why bother batting away his surname now? Eyes were closed and expression rueful as it harmlessly flopped against his freckled nose, though when it wobbled under his chin, a feeble smile was summoned. "I'm sorry Xailah," Peri relented, that abnormal impatience gone as if it had never been there at all. He rubbed away the lingering tickles with the back of his hand. "I shouldn't mind and oughtn't have called you a name. I'm out of sorts."

"That joke really bothered you didn't it?"
Unease permeated the smile, dwindling it down to an unsettled line. The boy bobbed his head, shrugged his shoulders, and murmured meekly- a truly weird amount of submission for one so often steady and sure- "You know what it's like, I'm sure. There are... behavioral expectations, we are meant to meet?" The sentence was structured as a question. There had been ample distractions- hags, plots, investigations, schemes, secret duels. So many mysteries they had traversed together, and yet their home lives remained the greatest mystery of all. It was poor form to outright ask a pure-blood wix about their familial beliefs or home lives. There were only speculations between them thus far, educated assumptions. Xailah had a sister. Was she the heir then? Was she, too, intended to uphold some sort of legacy or other? He wouldn't ask those things, though they were woven into that not-so-subtle line. "It just troubled me to hear it from an adult. Well, a quill enchanted by an adult, but Miss Finley didn't really mean any harm. It was silly of me to be so bothered." She likened herself to a dragon when it came to taking things, but again, Pericles pretended not to notice with a wave of his hand and a mumbled "Nonsense". It was polite not to notice.

Granted, it was difficult to do so when she revealed the spoils of her draconic pillaging. Pericles considered the three suckers with a rounded gaze, very vividly recalling the ONE ONLY sign from the Astronomy orery. Then he laughed, a short huff of amusement, which opened the damn for a flow of light snickering. The boy shook his head and accepted an Earth, grin growing while he wagged it at the wily witch. "You are a poor influence, Xailah Alptraum," he declared. This didn't deter him from tucking it into a cheek for an unattractive bulging effect. She hadn't needed to share anything with him, either, though it seemed fitting for the spirit of All Hallow's Eve. Two mischievous children reaping ill-gotten rewards and indulging in the light of a horror movie projector. "Yes, I'd like to stay. I haven't seen a movie in ages. Do you recognize the title...?" Nosferatu. Pericles, still acting odd, sounded uncharacteristically cautious. Maybe he just didn't like scary movies, though it was an irregular amount of wariness for one who had charged the Forbidden Forest and joined an unauthorized duelist's club in his first year.

Still, she had given him additional incentive, aside from the joys of candy, company, and a movie. "I'd be more than happy to accommodate one of my favorite felines." With babying affection, the lad at last sought to mend his mistake, reaching to stroke Schrödinger atop the head and along his back. "Athena doesn't have the patience for these things- I nearly brought her along, but she lost interest in trick-or-treating halfway up the Astronomy tower." Pericles adored the Siamese, though she was fiercely independent, perhaps excessively at times. She did not care to be carried on the best of days. In contrast, Schrödinger was a relenting lump Peri was free to pamper as he pleased.

As the bickering started Ileen rolled her eyes, felling her impatience rising. This little childish back and forth between her best friend and the Slytherin had been annoying her for a while now and she couldn’t wait for the weird situation to be solved by either an escalation or a reasonable discussion. The only issue was that both involved parties seemed to take it on a different level – while Dee was normally mainly amused by it, Percival took it to heart and seemed to really hate the Ravenclaw. And Ileen? She was somewhere in between to act as a buffer, just like she had been on her way to Muggle Studies.
With a groan, she picked up a pack of M&Ms and tore them open with a devastating look directed at her two companions. “Hey. Could you please try to not instantly fight? Just for me?” She took out a blue M&M and aimed it at her best friend, who was in a really bad mood today and thus showed herself from her very insensitive side. “And rude. I’m a pure blood as well.”
The blue candy hit Dee at the shoulder and fell to the ground with a clacking sound. She also threw a punishing glance at the sheet to make Percival understand that insolent remarks on his part would also be punished with candy bombardment before turning around and walking towards the stairs. “Come on,” she would call over her shoulder with a slight shake of her head.

Ileen couldn’t help but keep wondering what was wrong with Dee’s and Percival’s relationship – and one thing was clear for sure: Both were not happy tonight. Well, Ileen intended to change that. Dee had cheered her up countless times and Percival had joined her when she had been alone so tonight, she would try to make it up to them. Of course, the combination of them made it a whole lot harder but maybe it was meant to be for them to finally solve their problem. Walking upstairs to the next destination which would be the Ballroom, Ileen decided to stay a buffer until they would reach a safer area with less opportunities to fall down.
So, she slowed down to walk between them. “I can’t say I’m sorry your friends lost you. Good for us.” With a cheeky grin on her lips she looked back at Percival. “Whose bedsheet did you steal?” Her brown eyes sparkled with curiosity and malicious glee since the chances were quite good that it had belonged to someone she didn’t like.

@Robyn Finley

Cade climbed the stairs up to the fourth floor. He could hear loud voices from the hall so he assumed the party was already underway. Picking up the pace with a little excitement he reached the entrance to see a fog-ridden tunnel. It looked incredibly spooky, but he knew there was no safer place than somewhere that was set up for his entertainment. Despite that though, he was thankful for the candles that lit the way. Trodding carefully as not to light his bedsheet ghost costume ablaze, he continued into the room.

He noticed immediately the number of people that had arrived. The varying costumes giving him delight, everyone was so creative with their costumes. His was a very last minute resort. He almost wished he'd planned more when it came to his costume. He promised himself he'd make more effort next year. Or whenever there was an event he'd have to dress for. But Cade didn't mind, he made his way immediately to the snack table to see what candies and treats they had to eat. He had built up quite the appetite going up all those stairs. Who was he kidding? Cade could eat at all times.

Cade noticed there were goodie bags at the table. A spider, ghost, bat, and mummy. Why not stick to the theme? Cade grabbed the ghost bag and a couple of other snacks before turning to admire the decor. Whoever decorated did a fantastic job of it. There were spiderwebs everywhere! For a moment Cade wondered if they had brought in acromantulas to decorate for them. He snickered at the crazy thought. No way, that was way too dangerous not to mention, where in the world would they get acromantulas? Cade very much doubted there were any on the grounds.

Before settling down to watch the film, Cade spotted the librarian working the projector. He made his way forward hoping she could tell him how to get rid of the quill's message. It wasn't hard for him to get her attention. Making sure to stand out of the way for the beam of light projecting the movie he tapped her arm.

"Excuse me, but could you help me with the--" He pointed at his forehead with clear embarrassment. He was glad she couldn't see his face under the sheet. He'd turned red. It was bad enough facing the punishment, but admitting mistakes and confronting the teacher was another level.

Serena enters thread from Astronomy Tower

With her candy in her hands, hidden underneath her cloak, Serena pushed open the doors to the ballroom with her shoulder. Her costume was literally just her in an invisibility cloak, with her head on display - so that it would look like a floating head. On her face, she had a bit of red lipstick dotted onto her cheeks to look like blood - albeit very fake blood.

The Hufflepuff looked around the decorated ballroom in surprise. It was pretty nice. A grinned formed on her lips as she noticed that the professors had also dressed up for the occasion. She took some treats from the table and found a seat as soon as the Librarian announced they were starting a movie. Serena quickly made herself comfortable on the ground, surrounded by a few pillows and cushions. She wrapped herself in a blanket too - so that she was both sitting on it but also it wrapped around her and burrito-ed her within its warmth. After all, the castle was - in general - a tad bit colder as the temperature outside dropped.

One hand reached out of the burrito blanket as she snuggled back into a pillow. It picked up some candy, which she started to nom on whilst the movie started. Serena had also gotten herself a glass of lemonade for later too.

Apparently they were going to be watching some sort of muggle movie. These were not very something that the girl grew up with, being raised in a pureblood household. She was rather excited to spend time learning more about them. They had come up in a muggles studies lesson once.

Serena blinked as she watched the movie. The whole screen was... black and white. It felt like she was just looking at a very long photo. Random people - was that even a person on the screen? - moving around. It was like watching a portrait or photo move for... how many hours had they been here?

She had no idea how long it had been but she had finished up her drink and most of her candy before the end. Not wanting to get out of her burrito blanket, Serena did not bother to refill her glass. Students around her were talking. She had no idea about what but she could hear hushed words being spoken around the room. There was a moment where she had to wonder if perhaps she needed to be more sociable. She realised that she knew very few people outside of her own house or friendship groups. But at the very least, there was no one around to distract her from the movie. She watched with interest - fascinated by muggle concepts more than some of her relatives were, that was for sure.

"Thank you for organising today, it was fun!" Serena spoke to the Librarian with a huge grin on her face, once the movie had finished. She made her way back to the common room shortly thereafter, accompanied by one of the members of staff that organised the event. She had no idea how she was going to sleep after eating so much candy but there was perhaps a little bit of time to relax before bedtime. Plus... there was also a bit more candy to polish off before bed, right?!

Serena exits thread.

The ballroom was a long way from the library, just then realizing how much she'd have to climb- the price paid from having gone to two locations on the ground floor. That being said, the ballroom was pretty easy to find once close as one got near enough to see the spooky hallway decorations, the fog and candle glow helping with the ominous feel of such a place. A small shiver would go through the girl, but a small smile would find itself as Lea noticed that she fit rather well with this hallway. It made sense to have both bats and spiders in a spooky Halloween area, after all.

The girl was quick to walk through the corridor, preferring to not stay too long in such a place. Perhaps she could use the excuse of it being a hallway for why the hufflepuff was quick to enter. Rather than a cave- the idea she was sort of expecting- Lea would find a forest. It seemed rather dark, smoke curling up her ankles as she walked before dissipating to create new peaks and curls of fog. The first year would glance between the offered gift bags, the choice becoming significantly easier once she saw the bat goodie bag. Lea would take the bat one, quickly bowing her head. "Thanks."

It was only as she walked further into the room that the girl would notice the projector light. The girl would watch it for a moment, taking a few moments to realize that there wasn't any sounds to go with these moving pictures. Well, Lea could return to this in a bit, there was still more to see in this ballroom. It was easy to find more treats, caution tape only ignored during Halloween celebrations. On any other day, her thoughts would focus and worry on the unknown safety of said treats. Lea would take some of the treats to put in her bag for later, taking a cupcake to nibble on during the event.

The bat girl would return back to watching the movie, this time curling up on the cushions and pillows, snatching one of the nearby blankets to cocoon herself in a bubble of warmth. Her bag of candy would end up besides her, occasionally snaking one arm out of her blanket to grab onto more sugar and sweets. There were only a few times where she had to adjust the blanket a bit, wings getting tangled within, but otherwise it had been a pretty relaxed night. One she most certainly had enjoyed.

Costume - Shoes - Treat Bag

October 30^th, 2020

Cash had enough excitement for one day. Though they want to visited all the locations for trick and treating that scattered all over the castle, doing so required another extra effort that Cash too lazy to do. From climbing the highest tower the castle had, to go to the last stop is a long trek down.

The green eyes initially after they done their trick and treating they feel all their energy had been used up and thus the purple hair uncharacteristically feel tired decided they want to go straight where Slytherin house located but when they passed the ballroom, their interest piqued in.

"Hey, want to check what is going on there?"Cash asked to the second year companion. Cash waited for Starlee to answer for a minute. When Starlee answered it whether the other girl want to go with the beater or not, Cash decided to walk further down the room.

When they step into the ballroom, Cash smile with how the staff really do pull all their best effort for this event. Starting from the dimly lit tunnel that covered in spiderwebs. At the sight of spiderwebs, Cash let out unseen chills. The green eyes remembered how some months ago the attacked of the black spider in their Common Room.

"Why spiders?"Cash mumbled under their breath. The green eyes rarely feel scared but with the said incident, it bring back some unpleasant memory. Cash walked slowly to the end of the tunnel with how heavy the smoke in effect.

Cash smiled knowing the smoke screen spell definitely give an excellent spooky ambience. Once Cash reached the end of the tunnel, they met with Professor Karr downing a pirate costume. "Nice costume, Prof"Cash then look at the five bag of selection that the Professor hold.

"I take the mummy one, Prof. Thank you"Cash then grab the said goodie bag and stepped into the Ballroom. Bag in hand, Cash put the mummy one inside the pirate bag that they bring all night long then they straight away went to the table.

Cash then took one of the black cup and filled up with lemonade. "This is nice"Cash said after they quenching their thirst. Once the cup is empty, the green eyes look at the skeleton on the table. "Wicked!"Cash stated as they poke their hand at the skeleton.

"This is look so real, don't you think?"The green eyes avert their attention to Starlee. Cash then grab some cupcakes. Cash looked at the other selection of sweets. The green eyes had enough candy for the evening and they did not that fond of pretzels.

The purple hair then turned around. They just realize there is a movie played on the wall. A black and white one with no sound. It looks like a vintage pictures from the look of it. Cash did not know what the movie is all about but it did not mean they did not enjoy it. Cash then spot an empty space.

"Let's go that way"Cash told Starlee. Another cup of lemonade and some cupcakes, Cash (hopefully Starlee follow them) seat down on the blanket. They put down their selection of beverage and the cupcakes near where they seat. They grabbed a pillow and stacked a cushion or two.

Cash then laid down on the said pillow while watching the movie that by know Cash know it is a movie about Dracula. "Hey, Star"Cash acknowledge the First Year. "Have you watch the movie before? If you do, what is it about?"Cash inquired the blonde girl. Cash let out a yawn. Today activities definitely drain their energy.

@Aldor Humbleglow
Continued Interaction from Fright or Flight
Owl or DM if you want to Interact with Rose!

Rose felt like the most important and amazing person in the world when Aldor confided in her that he trusted her and felt comfortable around her. That she made him feel safe. She wasn't sure if that was a common thing in Aldor's life, but from what she could tell, it wasn't. And Rose felt honored to be one of the people he trusted. She knew how much he looked up to his aunt for caring about him when his own family really didn't. Maybe there was just something about Rose that made Aldor trust her.

"Thank you That means a lot." And Aldor could probably tell, too. She was smiling very big with an underlying fondness in her eye.

So they made their way over to the movie. As they were walking through the tunnel, Rose said, "Spooky..." It was dark in there, the light provided by candles on the floor and the ceiling filled with spiderwebs. She heard a voice warn the students- "I'll be starting the movie in just a few moments. Please make your way over to the... movie area if you wish to watch." Rose jumped. She hadn't realized they were late. "Come on!" She said lightheartedly, quickening her pace. "Woah..." she said in awe as they entered the ballroom. It had an entire makeover from when Rose had last seen it. They were a little bit later than others. "Ooh, let's get some food." Rose made her way over to the tables with food and drinks, checking frequently to make sure Aldor was following her and that he was okay.

Rose helped herself to lemonade and treats, waiting patiently for Aldor to take his pick of the options before walking with him to an empty spot for viewing the movie. She put her food and her lemonade on the ground, going to the side of the room to get a couple blankets for them to sit on. They spread out the blankets, making themselves comfortable as the movie was shown on the projector. "Thanks for coming with me. This is so fun," Rose smiled, very glad she had asked Aldor along. Sometimes you just needed a little bit quieter of company, especially when the world was screaming at you with different opinions of what to do. Especially when Rose's entire world felt chaotic. Rose needed to be grounded from time to time, to be shown that it was all going to be okay. Because it was. And sometimes it took a shy, sweet guy like Aldor.

Rose spread out her legs in front of her, adjusting her dress, and then crossed her legs.

Frankly, she had been called names that were far worse than 'numpty'. Freak, seemed to be a fan favorite of many- even for those of blood relations. If anything numpty was a welcome jab, when compared to the harsher names people liked to throw her way. Thus her reaction towards this horrible, horrible word, was a fairly tame one. "Apology accepted." She would gladly take being called a numpty, over freak. But, she had to admit she did find it odd, that he had not called her, by his usual choice of names. He claimed that he was 'out of sorts'. Yeah. No kidding. "Oh really? I haven't noticed." She answered with dry sarcasm, and an eyeroll. Actually, no, it wasn't odd- it was rather worrying, when considering his nature. Was the trick the real problem? Or was there something else? Thankfully she was able to coax a small smile out of him. Which to her, meant that he wasn't completely broken.

That little smile didn't last very long though. Her own mouth would in turn, quirk to one side; as she noted his strange submissiveness. Her brow furrowed. She could tell, by the way he had phrased his defense -if you will- that he was looking for more than just a yes, no, or an 'I understand'. Her head cocked to one side, as she glared at him through narrowed eyes. It had caught her slightly off guard. One of her odd hair stands, would slightly pull away, from the Sleekeazy's that was holding it in place. The lively tress would flick, in an seemingly agitated manner; almost as if it was trying to brush the boys question away. "Hm. Indeed." Was all she would say to that. A vague answer for a vague question. She usually preferred to keep details on her home life ambiguous- well, as ambiguous as a child could keep them. It was another thing she did out of habit. But Pericles was a smart lad, chances were, he could probably decipher that 'indeed', was truly an affirmative that applied, to all those unasked questions. The Gryffindor wasn't used to having people pry into any subjects deemed personal. Xailah would tuck the quill that had been gifted to her, behind her ear. She found some relief in his question- as it would seem that both oddities, had an interest in each others home lives.

But if Pericles wanted better answers concerning the topic of home, he was going to have to start asking better questions. Not-so-subtle (yet still very subtle) inquires, were only going to get him subtle answers, and offhanded remarks. Offhanded remarks, like the one that would be spoken, in response to the explanation of his troubles. "Ssself-awareness isn't silly. Unless of course you are referring to the way you were expressing that self-awareness- which in that case yes, you were being silly." She blinked slowly- she was unsure if she was trying to lighten his mood, or if she was trying to give him a hard time. Perhaps it was a healthy helping of both? She shrugged to herself, as she watched Pericles accept the Earth she had offered, and pop it into his mouth. He would wave off her dragon comment. Was it really polite for him to ignore her kleptomania problem? Maybe. Yes. It was. She preferred, for her friends to ignore her little habit- even if doing so would only worsen it. At least she wouldn't have to explain herself to them.

Though, after seeing the look of, what might have been surprise(?) on the Ravenclaws face, she couldn't help but feel just a little embarrassed. Especially after remembering that she had originally tried to take the whole orrery, from the Astronomy area. And then came his snickers! Her being a poor influence made him laugh! "Tell me sssomething I don't know." She took on a sheepish tone, that would quickly flee once the bird cautiously asked about the movie. He got to go see movies? Lucky. Nosferatu would be Xailah's first movie. She didn't... she didn't get out much. Obviously. Despite the horror film being the first that she would witness, she was actually familiar with the title. "Mmm. Vaguely." It was a German film, she knew that much. She had heard the older members of her family talk about it, once or twice. "The film is adapted from the horror classic: Dracula, by Bram Stoker." She said in a distant, and almost mechanical way; as she recalled snippets of an old conversation that she had overheard years ago, about the movie. She sent the boy a dazed blink, before admitting: "I've never seen a movie before." She then prodded. "What all have you seen?" Did he have a projector, like the one the Librarian was currently working? Or did his parents like to take him places? He was awfully lucky, if both were the case. This was only the start of what would soon (in the very near future) become a barrage of nonsensical film questions.

Having further noticed, that his caution had not yet left; Xailah would try to hand Schrödinger off to Pericles, after the cat received his compensatory head pats. Holding Schrödinger always made her feel a little secure- she didn't see why it couldn't do the same for the boy. "Sssplendid. I- he, has already selected a perfect ssspot for the construction to take place." She informed the young wizard, with a bob of her head. "Its a ssshame your Athena lost interest. She doesn't know what she's missing out on. Maybe you ssshould start providing her incentive to be patient." It was a shame that Athena had not come. Xailah had been hoping to see the cat. Schrödinger desperately needed a playmate of his species. Not, desperately- but he could certainly benefit from one. "Cats are no different from you and I- they want a reason to do things. Anyways-" She shrugged, and then cleared her throat. "This way please." A spindly finger would wag, and beckon the falcons way; in an attempt to get him to follow. And should he do so, he would be guided through the graveyard of abandoned pillows, and blankets; until both he, and his guide reached a bare spot, near the front of the room. "Here." His guide would declare, and gesture to the small space, in a Vanna White sort of fashion. "As you can see, this ssspot will allow him to have a clear view of the projected pictures- and be out of the way of ssstudents who are here to spectate." She would glance around at the other faces in the ballroom. It would seem that several of tonights guest, were either asleep, or trying to get hexes removed. "Which by the looks of it, are not many."

Excitement looked to be sparse in these parts. It made Xailah wonder if she was overacting. Was a movie, not something to excited about? Whatever. It wasn't like the lack of enthusiasm in the room, would ruin the night for the lion and eagle. She bent, to pick up a fairly large pillow, that had been laying nearby. "The pillows will be the foundation for the ssstructure. Schrödinger had informed me, that he wanted his fort to be big enough to fit at least ten cats inside- or two humans, and one cat." The pillow would be returned to the floor, with a soft thump. "I hope you have some experience with building things, because I would hate for all of our hard work to crumble-" The metamorph droned quietly. "-If this fort does collapse I will be blaming you, Pericles." She added as an afterthought.

All that Aldor had been doing this night was following his friend Rose, but for once, walking around people did not seem like an awful thing, just being there and knowing that who invited you was enjoying your company, was more than enough for the young Hufflepuff wizard. He had a lot of fun, more than he probably ever had in Hogwarts, this was a strange feeling for him, he would usually be isolated at the library, or sitting by the lake in complete sillence.

Aldor heard his friend thank him, he could not help but smile back, as a very light blush started showing on his face. And so, Aldor kept following Rose through the tunnel looking at the ceiling every once in a while, kind of fascinated by every single detail that was left around the tunnels, soon after, he heard the same voice that Rose did, and began walking faster, but mostly skipping, he was quite short, and that dragon costume was not helping either as he was almost tripping over, but managed to stay close to Rose.

As soon as they entered the Ballroom, his eyes lightened up, everything seemed so wonderful and (no pun intended) charming, even though they were a bit late, he was thankful that he did not have to stumble into anyone, he was terrified of the idea of someone aproaching him and starting conversation with him. Soon after, his friend indicated him to get some treats with her, and so he did, slowly picking what he wanted, but also quick enough to not make Rose wait.

He kept following her, doing his best to help her on what he could, while all of this was happening in the outside, an even larger amount of things was happening inside his head, maybe it was not the perfect time to feel insecure about things, but the awkward sensation of not knowing whether he was being a good companion or not, maybe Rose was just being polite and she was actually inviting him because she felt bad for the miserable Irish boy. This thought tortured him for a few minutes, as he sat on the blanket, slowly removing his helmet and putting it by him, he got lost in the multi-colored eyes of his dragon costume.

His smile would fade for a few seconds, until he snapped out of it, as he heard Rose thanking him for coming with her, Aldor's smile returned, as he felt his face go red, with a few words, she made him feel confident again, this was one of the reasons why he always tried to be around Rose, because for Aldor, there's nothing better than being there for someone.

''R-ose, do you have- any other friends? If you do err- Do you think they'd like me?-''
