"I would get a bit warm, nothing else. I'm a Fae, not an Icicle." Lunos muttered, obviously not used to having full-blown conversations with people. (I'm so sorry it's really short, I'm not able to think of anything)

Aaron looked away as Nysaxiope turned around, glad that Night called her over because he probably wouldn't have. Surprised by the sudden thank you Aaron looked to Night, not expecting any thanks from her even if it seemed bitter. "No problem? It's sort of just helping her every time she helps me. Plus… She's a friend." He replied, hesitant to add the last bit. He always messed up things like this. So this confused him, he wasn't sure if he wanted to consider anyone a friend or stay on his own. As Corru narrowed his eyes at Aaron it was clear what he thought. "Don't get attached. You of all people should know it never does any good, Rei." He warned, his tone angry. "Don't use that name." Aaron mumbled quietly, shifting his eyes to where Corru was. "I'll do whatever the h-ll I want!" He snapped. Dropping his gaze Aaron waited for someone to speak up again, preferably not the snappish ginger.

Faraneer remained by the fire. He lifted his head, hearing his name being called by, oh what was that girl's name again…Nykidia wasn't it? However, despite her reassurance, he didn't move a step. He glanced towards her, eyes still constantly searching, pupils narrowed thin slits.
"It's a-a-alright…I think I'll just s-s-stay near the fireplace if t-that is alright…"
There was a sudden, loud snarl in their minds. Physically, Faraneer jumped slightly, having not been prepared for Kirdairn's sudden outburst.
~What we do and decide doesn't concern you fishy. This is 'family' business, or are those words too hard for you to understand? So how about you stay the fuck out of our minds and look out for yourself~.
The voice in their mind quieted down to a soft coughing. Seemed the enraged outburst from Kirdairn triggered his cough again.
"Kirdairn," Faraneer's voice was incredibly soft, and his stutter seemed to disappear for a brief moment, "Rest…please. If you keep getting agitated, it'll only make the sickness worse."
There was a growl, as if Kirdairn was getting ready to refuse, but finally the head gave a rather exhausted sounding snort ~Fine…but if anyone tries something, you wake both Mylnorr and myself, got it~.
"Of course Kirdairn. You know I'm good at keeping watch."
Once the other head had finally quieted down, did Faraneer turn his attention to the siren. His voice was low as he spoke, "Kirdairn is not trash. He may not be the easiest to get along with, but he is family. We have had to look out for each other for quite a long time. Kirdairn wasn't always this aggressive, but since we have had to move, his aggression has grown."

Nys crossed her arms. "I guess I'll take your word for it then," she huffed. She looked at Aaron. "Aaron, I can see it very clearly on your face your mind is currently being messed with or some magic stuff is happening. What is it?"

Night gave Aaron a weird look. "Who are you talking to?" She asked. "I know your not just talking to yourself. Your talking like when Nykidia talks to me." She explained.

"It's nothing. Just a habit." Aaron replied, shifting his eyes between Night and Nysaxiope. It was semi-true, from having Corru around he had a habit of mumbling to himself when nervous or thinking intently now. "Sometimes you're really annoying when you're being stubborn. It doesn't matter if they know I'm here." Corru commented. "You brought this on yourself. See if they understand or just think you're a liar for not telling them." Aaron looked confused as he looked to Corru, who stood up and turned to the two. The ginger was irritated that Aaron was letting himself get attached, especially since it never ended well for him. Showing himself to Nysaxiope and Night Corru glared at both of them. "There, Mystery solved! Name's Corru, I don't care what your name is." He growled. Sending a glare at Aaron he added another snappish remark. "Now back off, honestly Aaron should be doing other things besides making small talk." Aaron dropped his gaze again, staring at his hands. Arguing with Corru wouldn't do any good, so he was just waiting to see how the others reacted.

Night smirked when Corru appeared. "Aaron! You never told me you had a bind. You could of told me. You shouldn't of been embarrassed. Even though this guy does seem like quite a jerk" She said looking at him and jabbing a thumb in the direction of Corru. "Look Corru. I don't know who the fu** you think you are but Aaron can hang out with who ever the f*** he wants to. Nykidia makes 'friends' with some people I don't like but I don't care. As long as she is happy." Night said sternly to Corru.

"Does everyone here have another being living in the body but me? Is anybody noticing this?" Nysaxiope crossed her arms. "Yeah, what Night said."

Corru was unamused by their responses. He wouldn’t care if he was amused, they just made themselves look crazy to everyone that didn’t see him. “I am not in Aaron’s body. I am a ghost Aaron would be dead without a soul link to. So back off, there’s a reason I think he shouldn’t be wasting his time here, and obviously you don’t know Aaron as much as you act like you do.” He responded. Aaron shifted in his seat, not liking where the conversation was going. He was also confused as to why the others were… sticking up for him? “Can you guys drop the topic on who I hang out with? I wasn’t embarrassed. Corru’s just… difficult with people.” He said, being careful with his wording.

Eurn nodded to Lumos, feeling like it was time to go somewhere warmer. He stuck his tongue out at Corru as he went past, knowing what it was like to have someone, quite possibly a friend, trying to control your relationships with people, and plopping down next to Faraneer. He finally remembered that he hadn't tasted the air around him and found something aquatic and magical. He turned to him and only said "whath are you? Clues aren'th making sssenssse ath tthhe momenth and I'm thoo curious noth tho know."

Lunos gave a small nod in return, pulling an iced coffee out of his bag and sipping it as he watched the heated conversation between the possessed lady and the fox dude. I want to listen to my music, but I need to learn more about this place's people so I suppose I must listen to this horrid exchange of words.

"Funny. With out me Nykidia wouldn't be alive either but you don't see me controlling her." Night snarled as she stood up. "And I think I know him pretty well after our little day of shenanigans. And you don't seem to know him as well as you think you do, punk! So I suggest that you shape up before I come out and beat your punk ass, shrimp!" She spat.

Aaron stood up, standing between the two. “Night. Stop it.” He said, clear warning in his voice, “You’ll only provoke him more.” Though he was hoping Night would back down as expected Corru wasn’t done. He never liked backing down. “A day of ‘shenanigans’? Do you really think running around town for a day is going to give you even a glimpse of who he is? What has he told you that I may not know? Because I have a few examples that can give you a pretty good idea of who he is.” He growled. Aaron stayed in front of Night. He understood why Corru didn’t want him to get attached, but he didn’t like the idea of him giving ‘examples of who he was'. “Just stand down. Sometimes he calms down if no one reacts.” He told Night.

Faraneer's head moved, forked tongue slipping past his lips. The male's alertness had become raised even more. He could sense the agitation in the air, hear the angered voices. Oddly, it was almost strange for there not to be 'roaring' going on as the aggression grew. Well, suppose back home it was something that had happened in the swamps. There were different swamp beasts that came out, fighting for territory, mates, and all of that. Usually if the fighting got too close, the hydra would simply all roar at once, which would quiet the place down again. Here though, Faraneer was pretty sure that a roar from them would probably just make things worse. Plus, two of the heads were currently sick.
The male shifted his weight, remaining near the fireplace, but giving everyone else a decent space. Though it seemed like most attention was currently happening away from him, which the hydra was fine with, meant he wouldn't have to alert his brothers of immediate danger. The sudden 'plop' and appearance Eurn next to him did make Faraneer release a surprised hiss. However, he returned to hardly showing any aggression, but remaining on high alert.
Hearing the naga's question, the male responded, "We are a hydra, a swamp hydra if one wants to be more exact. There's myself, and my 2 brother heads. We'd probably still be in our swamp homes, but things happened, forcing us to leave."
A slight frowned appeared on his face, remembering. Those had not been good times at all. Several years later, and they were still having the worse time adjusting to life amongst many others altogether in one place. A place they had learned to avoid at all costs, but here they were…

Night hissed when Aaron stood up for Corru but sat back down. Nykidia would be out soon and Night would prefer it if she didn't come out to blood. Flyn walked in, stretching his arms. "The casino's all closed up." He announced to nobody in particular. He heard Night hissing and walked over. "You OK Night?" He asked with a concerned look on his face.

Aaron hesitated at Night's hiss, not returning to the chair a Flyn entered. He stepped back to stand by Corru, make sure he didn't start any more problems. It seemed the whole situation interrupted the peace. "Maybe Corru and I should go… I mean… It's getting late, right?" He said with uncertainty. He didn't mean to cause trouble, it was just hard to not set off Corru's short temper. They'd have to leave eventually, so may as well before he started caring too much. There was plenty of others to keep Night and Flyn company. Corru scoffed, glaring at Night. "Weak -ss spirit won't even fight like she said she would." He muttered. Aaron mumbled something about calming down, which only got a harsh look from the ghost. "I thought I told you to be quiet.” He hissed.

That was it. "Nykidia!!!!" Night yelled inside her mind. "Hmm? What is it Night?" Nykidia asked. "I need to beat up a spirit that is abusing Aaron. Could you take control?" Night exclaimed. "What?" Nykidia asked with concern in her voice. "You will see when you take control now could you please do so?" Night said. Nykidia took control. Flyn shook his head. "Don't worry about it Aaron. You still have your room from last night and-" Flyn started to explain but was cut off by Night coming out and tackling Corru. "You want to say that again, f@!$*#&!!!" Night yelled at Corru.

Aaron listened as Flyn started speaking, wondering if he should mention the argument that broke out before he came in. Though he barely had a second to do anything as he jumped as Night tackled Corru.
Corru grunted as he was tackled to the ground, getting angry at Night thinking she could yell at him. He fought to get her off, growling lowly. “Say what? What got you angry? I’ll gladly say it again!” He snapped. “Guys, stop! We’re done with the argument so there’s no need to fight!” Aaron exclaimed. He didn’t know what he should do. He knew Corru wouldn’t be giving up, and he had no idea how to separate the two and keep them from being at each other’s throats.

Night grabbed Corru by the shirt (I assume he's wearing one) and slammed him against the wall, making the room shake. "Don't tell him to 'Be quite'! I won't have you treat him like a dog that is meant to be beaten and kicked." Night yelled, her eyes flaring with purple. This scene reminded her to much of the first time she fused with Nykidia. And she hated it. Nykidia and Flyn looked at the fight in surprise. Nykidia quietly walked over to Aaron, grabbed his hand and pulled him back a few feet from the fight. She didn't want Corru to lash out and hurt Aaron.

(lol yeah. It’d be weird if he wasn’t wearing clothes. I’m going to try pulling the others in so this isn’t a one on one)
Hitting the wall Corru took a moment to recover. Meanwhile Aaron was confused what was happening, giving Nykidia a puzzled expression. “What’s going on? We need to stop them.” He said, looking over to the siren nearby, “Nysaxiope, can’t you use your magic to get them to relax?”
“I don’t beat or kick him. I help him, he helps me, and we both know I’m going to be angrier sometimes and calmer others.” He responded. He shifted a bit in Night’s grip as he talked, giving a harsh kick when he finished. He was aiming to get her to let go of him. “It doesn’t matter in the long run.”

Nysaxiope nodded. "OKAY SHIT FACES I'LL NEED YOU TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN. STOP FIGHTING," she demanded, power in her voice.

Sorry for the short reply, I'm in school right now))

"Rude," Lunos muttered as the person hit the wall a few feet next to him. He quickly walked over to the man being held and tapped him on the shoulder, ice spreading over his body in a thin layer to shock him and freeze him for a second. The freeze wasn't that powerful, but it would stop him from moving for a few seconds.
