Lock happily kissed her back, then nuzzled against her waist. Actually, Lillith's idea was even better, not that she'd know why.

"Sure," he said. "It [i]is[/i] unusually gloomy today. Enough that you don't need your umbrella."

He patted her hand and headed out of the pumpkin patch. His tail twitched excitedly behind him.

Barrel watched as Carmilla came into the square. Well, it wasn't like the two ghouls weren't known to hang out when Agatha wasn't working. He grinned.

"Vocal routine for what? Band practice isn't until Saturday."

He listened as Agatha explained why she summoned Carmilla. As she explained the details of the divination, he tried to remain calm.

An interesting source of amusement...

A particular color scheme...

Shock [i]was[/i] playing her trick today. And Jack...well, that black and white pinstripe suit was recognizable even from a distance. Barrel tried not to look too worried. He [i]did[/i] slip up about the trick, but...Agatha didn't know when Shock was going to do it. Hell, [i]he[/i] didn't know until that morning.

Best to keep his mouth shut until he knew for certain, lest he ruin his sister's trick. Maybe it was nothing, but he didn't want Carmilla to pry any further.

"Oh! Carmilla! Have you met Corvin yet?"

He quickly gestured towards Carver to get her off the subject.

"He's our new resident. He helped me catch some rats in the pumpkin patch."
