Well, Riyo couldn't really say she had a lot of fun, but at the very least she had made an effort. The feline had been there, she had seen people she knew, and... Attempted to dance. That was enough, right?
Oh and she had left Titus up s**t creek with an infant... Perhaps a little too hastily. Yes, she felt a little bad, but there was one thing she just couldn't even, and that was babies. Riyo had her reasons, and he couldn't expect her to save him every time, right? She was only one person. She had her weaknesses.
The ghoul sighed as she looked up towards the dorms she slowly approached. Maybe she could just... Shake off the guilt with a hot bath or something. Yeah. Kill the excitement with boiling water and go to sleep. A good way to end a ho hum evening.

Riyo had not expected this, and her leap two feet in the air as there was suddenly a boil in front of her, along with a tail puffed out to at least twice its size, made that painfully obvious.
The ghoul's wide, bewildered eyes darted this way and that, slowly processing that she might have been in a little trouble. That was okay, though. She could work through this.
Frowning, she put her hands on her hips and tried not to admit her guilt. "I believe it works like a trade off. You don't make me do something I'm incredibly uncomfortable with unless I have a good reason to do it."
So... Maybe Riyo wasn't completely well versed in friendship. The whole 'doing things for people without expecting anything back' was not 100% understood. In fact, it was probably closer to 25%. "What, you think I know how to deal with scarelings? Only child here, emphasis on the only." He at least had a sister or something, right? He was totally more qualified than she was.

Riyo's expression became less defensive and more discouraged as she glanced away from him. "You're saying that because you know you wouldn't have, you're just trying to make me feel guilty!" Jokes on him, she already did.
The feline had been fully prepared to continue the argument, and inevitably lose the battle, but when Titus started looking for an article of clothing that was no longer there, it seemed like a moot point. She wasn't going to make him any less angry by arguing, and while Riyo tried to feel vindicated in her decision, she knew that sooner or later she would pay the piper for her choice regardless. Perhaps.. Sooner would be better than later.
The confrontation melted from the ghoul's face, releasing a defeated sigh as she prepared an honest, though hesitant apology. Little did she realize, however, that something lurked in their area. Something, or rather, someone, had been listening.
A figure lunged out from behind a nearby tree, aiming a fist to the boil's face. "I'M TOO HANDSOME TO BE A GRANDPA!" He screeched. Oh, look who the cat dragged in. It was Jessee.

Jessee stumbled back from the boil's punch because, once again, lover not a fighter. He sneered at Titus, ready for a throwdown, when Riyo finally clarified the situation.
The man's similar ears twitched, his expression softening as he tried to plug his nose from bleeding. "Oh." Oh? That was it? "Wait, never?" Well he changed gears quickly. He looked to his daughter with a worried glance. "Why never?" Because he totally 100% wanted grandkids just not today.
"That's none of your business." The ghoul scoffed, completely fed up with the whole of this conversation. Not just the one now, but the one with Titus and any other conversation that involved scarelings.
"Wait, but babies are soooo cute!" Jessee reached into his back pocket and pulled out... A wallet? He hurriedly unfolded the leather and... a mountain of pictures unfurled like an accordion. "Look at how cute you were!"
Riyo froze at that sentence, her eyes widening. No... No he didn't... Was he... HE HAD BABY PICTURES OF HER AND HE WAS SHOWING THEM TO THE WHOLE JACKDAMN WORLD.
"DON'T-"
"Look, here's one where you got ice scream all over your dress, and here's one where you made a little fort out of pillows, and the first dead bird you brought home.. Awww your happy little bloody face..." And the pictures just seemed to get more and more embarrassing. He held up one to Titus. "Isn't she just precious in her widdle frilly pink dress with her hair in pigtails?"

Riyo stood there, in a sea of agony and despair, as her father showed off the pictures of what she once was: a happy go lucky ghoul without a care in the world. Emphasis on the ghoul part, considering her state of dress today... Her cheeks reddened as Titus's bellowing laugh shook her, eyes downcast in shame. Truth be told she had forgotten about the instances in those pictures.
Like most parents, Jessee didn't seem to understand the fact that he was ruining his daughter's street cred. "Here, you can keep this one. I have hundreds of them."
Hundreds.
Hundreds?!
"You should come over and look at them, Riyo! We can talk about things over cake and ice scream. You used to love ice scream. I bet you still do."
"Why are you even here?" The ghoul asked, evading all ideas of willingly spending time with him. "Hey, don't forget that he punched you twice..." The ghoul tried to remind Titus, uncomfortable that she was suddenly the punchline of the joke.
"Oh! Yeah. Your birthday is coming up. What do you want?" He asked innocently with a small smile, unaware that she didn't even realize her birthday was coming up.
