》》I'm probably going to be off for a few days more. I'm not feeling the best, and it's been a bit of a struggle to get on here. Hopefully, by the end of the week, I'll be able to get replies out, so apologies for the wait.
@RequiemGhoul It took Water a good minute to finally realize the chittering wasn't coming from outside, his eyes roaming the room until spotting the little bird and already looking confused.
"...Where you'd come from, lil' guy? Guess someone left a window open again, of course..."
@snail_ghoul - Check again.
Ah, there was the old man rounding the corner with his fancy flip phone in hand, seeming a bit out of breath as he came up to Snail.
"I wasn't expectin' you to, uh...Come back so soon. Had me runnin' across the ministry to get here."
@snail_ghoul – seeing a few fish coming up to nibble. Water seemed rather interested in those fish now, more than his sandwich.
Old man fishing time? Maybe.
[3/3]
@snail_ghoul Ah, the feeling of victory at successfully getting away was a wonderful one to Water as he kept diving down further into the depths with the pondweeds and hydrilla obscuring where he was. Might be a little mean, but the water ghoul wanted to lay out at the bottom of the —

@snail_ghoul – nothing more than slightly cooking the ham and turkey...Without burning it.
"Mm, almost forgot –" Turning to the lake, he'd take out some of the lettuce from his sandwich and toss it onto the water, watching the green leaf float around for a bit before —

@snail_ghoul It wasn't too long before the old water ghoul meandered his way into the common room, blanket in hand as his eyes spotted the familiar form of the garden ghoul. He'd make his way over, making sure his footsteps could be heard.
"Any room for me, petal?"
@snail_ghoul – with some difficulty as he was doing it one-handed; dumb strap on it always was a pain in the ass since it got tangled in his hair.
"'Course you can. Pretty sure I'm stuck here for the time bein', so why not?"
Teasing little grin was there as his now free hand —

@snail_ghoul A huff left the star-fished ghoul, shifting to give room for Snail to settle beside him as he moved an arm to wrap around them. Those thumps made a lazy smile form, trying to suppress some laughter at it.
"Smother me more? I dunno, not sure I'd survive that..."
It had been a long while since this water ghoul had stepped foot in the ministry. A 'mandatory vacation' is what the clergy called it, but for Water, he didn't quite find it as that. Especially when stepping back into the ministry and seeing all the changes —

@RequiemGhoul Water, always blind to the most obvious, doesn't seem to somehow notice the very clear, very brightly dressed up bird as he entered the common room to try and work through some paperwork that was left to him. The old man needs some glasses, honestly.
@snail_ghoul - I'm glad you like them. I don't know how you do it, but it took me a while to make sure they looked nice in that vase.
- Also, can you leave your door open? I'm almost there.
Yeah, that office can be halfway dark. He's got something more important to do.
@snail_ghoul – of the bag he had the sandwiches in before speaking up again.
"You enjoyin' yourself out here so far? Besides chasin' me around and holding me up like a ragdoll, I mean."
[3/3]
@snail_ghoul – to the ice chest and pop it open, taking out two sandwiches and offering one to them. A basic ham and turkey sandwich with the fixings - cheese and lettuce, tomatoes – nothing too fancy. Water was already taking a bite out of his before he even fully got it out —

@snail_ghoul – making his way over to her bed to crash out – a groan leaving him as he laid out like a starfish sunbathing out on a coral reef.
"C'mon, petal...Don't think I'm goin' to be keeping my eyes open much longer."
[2/2]
@snail_ghoul And he'd let himself be towed by his lover, feeling all sluggish and slow with a full stomach with his feet trudging him alongside their quick steps. A nap to finish off him coming back home was perfect...
Soon as they'd get themselves into Snail's room, Water was already—

@snail_ghoul – prettiest flower out of any garden right here, why would I not want ya all over me?"
His hands moved to curl his fingers around her hips, eyes crinkling with a dumb smile on his lips as he watched them.
"Your mind isn't already going to the gutter with this, is it?"
[2/2]
@snail_ghoul He's feeling bold at the moment, strangely enough. Whether that'll hold or not is another story.
Seeing that pretty gold blush form on their cheeks, though, had him staring for a moment before giving an answer.
"I'm always sure, love. Why wouldn't I be? I've got the —
