 [b]“I agree. In fact, maybe we’ll get to see a proposal on the island sometime soon.”[/b] Crash visibly flinched at the other guys (Ara) comment though he managed to prevent more blood from rising to his face, he had hoped Kathy hadn’t heard him, he may have been embarrassed but he was more aware of how much this was affecting her as he watched her release his shirt and put her head back down on the counter before hiding behind her arms a second time. [b]"I wonder if they'll ask me to be a bridesmaid, I'll only accept if I still get to wear my hat."[/b] Crash couldn’t help but glance at Carmen as she said that. [i]That hat wouldn’t work....What are you doing?! Why are you thinking that!?[/i] He quickly turned his gaze away the thought itself made the color flare in his cheeks again and caused him to slap his palm against his head. He stood there like a twit completely at a loss on what to do...if he had a ‘Cloak of Invisibility’ he’d have happily passed it to Kathy in the hopes of remedying the situation but that wasn’t possible and he could only shift into animals...none of which could turn her invisible, so she wasn’t subjected to the imposing eyes of the other people in the bar who were clearly amused by their flustered display. 

He felt incredibly guilty...even if he hadn’t caused it in the first place. Having forced the heat from his cheeks he was about to say something to Kathy when. [b]“Let’s go then. Don’t want to intrude on the [i]happy couple[/i]”[/b] Crash resisted the urge to rise to the other guys (Ara) teasing, he was used to it...however he wasn’t impressed with the brown haired students (Ara) obvious attempt to make things worse. He tapped at the bar looking up at Nikola with a rather guarded expression [i]Time to go, definitely time to leave[/i] [b]"...But you two certainly act as if you were engaged,"[/b] Crash gave Nikola a strange look. “What? No, we do not” Crash denied, all they had done was walked into the bar at the same time talking, where was this idea coming from! It was like everyone else was seeing something they were not, Crash couldn’t understand it. Although he personally wasn’t one too usually care about being stared at, he was feeling very uncomfortable with the looks they were getting at this minute, he shifted his weight awkwardly from foot to foot. His own insecurity was making him guess what they were all thinking, and he was inclined to agree with them...

As Kathy abandoned the counter and slunk to the floor, Crash jolted to catch her stopping mid way when he realized she was still conscious just...hiding. He wasn’t sure what to do as she told him not to apologize before sighing about being confused, he pulled his hand away from his neck [i]Confused about what, this situation or...[/i] He was about to crouch down to her and suggest they leave when he felt someone knock his shoulder lightly, he turned his head sharply feeling his eyes narrow warningly as they rested on the guy (Ara) that had been talking very[i] loudly[/i] to Carmen. [b]“Go for it. You’re in the right place for a honeymoon.”[/b] Crash raised his eyebrow at the guy, visibly tensing at the suggestion. He felt another flush of color enter his face, he forced himself to just let the comment go right over his head. He couldn’t however stop himself glare at the guy (Ara) as he threw his head back and laughed. 

He felt his jaw clench momentarily as he glanced down at Kathy hoping she hadn’t retreated further because of it. He shook his head at the guys (Ara) retreating back before pushing him from his mind. He flinched as he was poked in the ankle having to crouch down swiftly to catch what Kathy was saying. “I’ll grab them...” He offered, he almost put a comforting hand on her shoulder but thought better of it at the last moment, retracting his hand as he got back to his feet. [i]Probably best to just grab drinks and go...at speed to the nearest door [/i] The young shapeshifter sighed, the color in his cheeks was slowly ebbing away by now, he looked down at the bar hoping Nikola had managed to grab them a drink. Of course he wasn’t prepared for the sight before him; he was not expecting to see two bowls of strange looking cereal sat on the counter, with spoons included. “OooK I did not see this coming” He murmured, feeling a whole new flush of embarrassment at the misunderstanding. [i]Cereal?! He’s behind a bar and he gave us cereal?[/i] 

Crash felt his lip twitch up into a smile as he looked down at the bowls with a mixture of amusement and confusion, what was worse was Nikola had disappeared out the back at that exact moment which meant the bowls weren’t going to disappear anytime soon. [i]This is unexpected even by Athalia standards...[/i] “Hey Kathy...you’re not in the mood for cereal by any chance are you?” Crash asked her, before he chuckled unable to not find this situation funny. “Mr Lovelock! Erm slight confusion on the order over here...Fruit Loops as in the drink, not the cereal” Crash called Nikola over, gripping a spoon and poking the cereal he was a little curious as to what it tasted like having never been given the chance, though he wasn’t sure now was the time to find out...
