Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Don't worry, we kept it safe," Nahm grinned, totally unrepentant. "C'mon by our room after class, I'll give it back. Excellent study material."

He'd managed to miss every previous Sex Ed class, trusting only what he knew from books and scareling tales...but that just didn't really seem like it was enough anymore. Cricket would probably be enraged if he were to rattle off all of his misconceptions, and he would rather avoid that. Because she probably made a lot of bugs happen when she was mad, and he still wasn't too comfortable around a lot of bugs.

Thackery followed Ash closely, entering the room shortly after his boilfriend. He immediately spotted Tomoko as the reaper moved to take a seat, and decided that he could spend just one quick second making sure she was okay.

"Hi Tomo! I hope things are good for you. I know that this class might get a little creepy so tell me if anyone bothers you, okay?" He looked pointedly at Nahm before returning his gaze to her with a smile. "Oh, and if you need any help with your homework...or with your minipets...or anything, you know where to find me!" Really, it was good that the ghoul was independent, but it felt so inherently wrong to him to not be able to help her somehow.

Now that he felt a little better about The Kitsune, he hurried over to apologetically hop onto Ash's lap.

"What do you think's in that thing? I hope it's minipets." He always hoped it was minipets.

At the sight of the classroom, Shine really just wanted to turn around and run. It was so clean, and set up so everyone could look at everyone else. There was so much pressure, and it seemed all so very hard to handle...but she'd told herself that this was something she needed to learn more about, and she was never going to get better at being around people if she never tried...

So she quietly took an open seat and did her best to avoid everyone else's gaze, scratching a little notch into the seat of her chair.

Hot ghoul alert. "Hello there," Nahm purred at Shine. "You gonna be my partner for class? Don't worry, I've been studying."

Was someone talking to her? Concerned, Shine glanced up through her bangs at the boil, who...yes, he did seem to be addressing her. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, pulling her knees up to her chest.

"...um, well. I..."

Fidgeting, she finally took a good look at the rest of the room, searching for her ghoulfriend. When there seemed to be no sign of Rain, she turned back to the boil, frowning.

"I...guess I could...be...if um, that's...what you want...?" It didn't make much sense to her - if he knew so much about this subject, why would he want to partner with someone who would pull him down to her inexperienced level?

Oh, he thought the possibility of being friends was nice! Really nice, even! Shine was visibly pleased by this, sitting up a little straighter as she reached to gently take his hand.

"Um, oh...thank you, Nahm! I'm...Shine. I...think it's nice too. To um, to meet you. Also. Thank you for...being so nice." He got a little twitch of a smile in honest gratitude.

Oh, she thought he was nice! That was even better. Nahm beamed at Shine. "Looking forward to working together with you!" he said.

The shy ones were always so cute.

He waved to Ash. He hadn't expected to see the P-Head here, he'd always kind of thought that this sort of thing was a natural talent for that sort of reaper. Live and learn.
