His arms were full with a box of items, handed him to him by a tired and overworked sister of sin with instruction to take it to the den mother. The box rattles as he walks, making him wonder just what was inside though he doesn’t even entertain the idea of opening it to find out. He’d asked the sister, only to be snapped at in a testy voice: “Doesn’t matter, just take it to Mint.”

He comes the den mother’s door, shifting the box to hold with one hand so he can knock with the other, settling back to wait till she opens the door.

Mercury had been hearing whispers in the church about a certain Ghoulette’s birthday coming up. He had stalked around to find the source of the rumors, to confirm. It turned out Mint’s Birthday was today, and Mercury is always up to spoil and celebrate his lovers.

He had taken the time to set up something extra special at this apartment for later. Right now he was on his way to find the Ghoulette, and take her out to town.

Mercury had reached the door to her den, and knocked three times. He waited awhile and still heard no response, so he carefully opened the door and walked inside. He didn’t see sign of her or her kit, but walked to the nest room and found Mint asleep on her own, still in her uniform dress.

He quietly walked over to her sleeping form, and kneeled besides her. Mercury leaned down placed soft kisses on her cheek.

It took Nora way WAY longer to finish all of the presents she had for her close friends. The Sister really hoped that they wouldn't get upset with her about them being late.

(Taking place after the Aether/Mercury fight)

Mercury had been gone for the past couple of days. No one had seen or heard from him. It was as if he had vanished. Good riddance some of the clergy said, but others were worried. The dramatic, flamboyant, man in the mask had seemingly...disappeared. It didn’t take an idiot to realize that life in the church had lost a little bit of its color.

Mercury had shut down after the fight between him and Aether. It had ended with no clear winner or loser, but Mercury had felt that he had sorely lost. The memories that the Ghoul had forced back to the forefront of Mercury’s mind, caused him nothing but pain and sorrow. His prideful nature had forced him to lock himself away into his apartment. Not wanting a soul to see his broken, shredded spirit.

Cracking an eye open, Ifrit grumbles, intending to just roll over and ignore whoever it was at his door. His head ached terribly and his stomach felt weird, body protesting to the outrageous amount of alcohol he’d imbibed to try and drink his feelings away. When he hears Mint’s voice he sits up and panics.

Oh shit, oh fuck he’s dead, he’s so fucking dead.

@mintyghoulette

There's another gift left on his bed, this one without the name but from the message he can guess it's for this mysterious 'Ifrit' he's been mistaken for.

As soon as he sees the ribbon, Ferrus breaks out in a wide grin. He bolts to the neatly-wrapped package at his door and tugs on the green ribbon as he pushes his way into his room, plopping cross-legged on his bed to continue unwrapping the gift.

The note makes him chuckle and shake his head — just like Mint to be completely transparent. He runs his thumbs over the shrink-wrapped DVD, eyes wide and smile wider. The half-ghoul’s already making plans to watch it later, truffles included.

He places the gift’s contents neatly on his endtable, the note propped up so he can see it. He’d have to pay his den mother another visit soon!

Mercury’s jaw dropped to the floor when he opened up the message from Mint. He tried to regain his composure, but was failing miserably. What made it even worse was that the Priest was in the middle of a meeting with the high clergy. They obviously could seem him squirming uncomfortably in his seat, so he quickly excused himself to the hallway-his phone in tow.

[Txt to Mint <3] “That bow is very nice. I can’t wait to unwrap my gift...I was in a meeting, baby. But I might just have to leave...so you can help me scratch this itch.”
