He wasn't early getting to the great hall. Even though he had managed to get his costume together in plenty of time, he ended up begin side tracked by Dillion's latest in pranks. His brother had the idea, and Payton never did take much insisting to get in on a prank.
Now he wantered through the steadily growing crowd in the great hall. He had told Kiyla that he would meet her here, and that she would know him when she saw him. He thought his costume wa sperfect for him. From the left, he was dressed in white, you could see a wing folded at his shoulder, and a halo cirled his head, but from the right, he was dressed in fire read, his hair spiked, and a black horn was growing from the mess.
He wasn't trying too hard to look for Kiyla, he knew they would find eachother, and until then, he was enjoying the food, and brief conversations with the other students. He did wonder what his date would be dressed as though....

Kiyla walked nervously out of the common room after checking herself in the mirror a few times. She walked out of the common room and went straight into the Great Hall. Payton had told Kiyla he would meet her there. Kiyla cautiously walked into the room and looked around. She spotted Payton by the drinks fountain and lingered by the door a while longer procratinating.
She wondered if people would even reconize her. When she looked in the mirror she couldn't. Kiyla was dressed as a gypsy. She was wearing a purple gown that showed her stomach slightly but just barely. She was wearing lots of bracelets on her left hand but on her right she was wearing a bracelet with a ring attached. She had her hair up in a pony pail with a scarf attached to it and she had a scarf attached to her hands as well. She had on a little make up that her friends had insisted on putting on her.
Kiyla walked nervously over to Payton slowly and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hi," Kiyla said smiling.

He was talking with a fifth year from Ravenclaw he knew from charms when he felt the tap on his shoulder. He turned around, his gaze soon focusing on Kiyla he smiled.
"Hey"
He stanned her quickly to take in her costume, and he nodded in approval. He never thought that she would wear a costume like that.
"Ah, should I call you Ezmarelda?"
He laughed at his own joke, refering to a gypsy everyone shoud know. He tilted his head sligthly, then nodded. She could pull off the Exmareld look...
"I like it"

Kiyla laughed nervously as Payton checked out her outfit.
"Cool costume. It fits you well." Kiyla said to Payton as she looked at his costume.
"Esmeralda it is then." Kiyla said smiling nervously covering up herself, "I cannot believe I'm actually wearing this costume..." Kiyla said looking down at the ground blushing. She couldn't believe she was dressed the way she was.
"You like it? I don't look too..." Kiyla said not finishing her sentence.

He smiled at her question and shook his head in response. He liked hre costume. It was different, from the other students, and even for herself.
"Nah, you look great. I never would have guessed your costume though."
He flashed her a bright smiled before looking out across the crowd, then looked back at her and raised his eyebrows as he always did when he was thinking something.
"One of the better ones here"

Kiyla smiled at Payton as she looked up.
"Why thank you and you are one of the good ones too." Kiyla said happily. She looked at her hand with the ring and bracelet that was attatched and held it up to show Payton. The silk scarf swayed slightly as she raised her arm.
"Do you like it? It's my mum's my real mother.. she gave sent it to me earliar.." Kiyla said looking at the silk then at Payton that is when she noticed that he had spikes. Kiyla loved spikes.
"Cool! Can I touch them?!" Kiyla said happily forgetting all of her nervousness and reached up to touch a spike. She smiled as she touched it. She absently traced the spike from the top then she went down slowly barely touching it when she reached the bottom then she absently let her hand trace Payton's face she went in between his eyes and down his nose then paused at his lips before she realized what she was doing.
"Oh! Sorry!" Kiyla said nervously as pulled her hand away from his face, while biting her lip and started playing with the scarf on her other hand nervously.

He laughed softly at her actions, but it was just like his laught always was--never threatening, just friendly and genuine. He then flashed her a bright grin a reached a hand up to touch the tips of his spiked hir to his palms. He had used a charm to make it stay up perfectly.
"No worries. I always say that people shouldn't apologize for things like that. It didn't hurt anyone and you did it for a reason, so theres nothing t be sorry about."
He grinned and raised his eyebrows again. He actually let the conversation fall for a moment, so there was a brief moment of silence. Not that he would let it be that way for long.
"So, did you shock all your friends by telling them you were going with me?"

Kiyla laughed dryly. She felt so embarrassed. She froze for a second when he said, "you had a reason..."
Kiyla was confused for a second than decided to forget about it.
"Well, they were happy for me. My friend Nokomis doesn't even know who you are but...you should have seen Jordan." Kiyla said with a laugh. "Where is Jordan anyway...." Kiyla said looking around for her friend.
"Did you think you'd get a different reaction?" Kiyla said smiling slyly at Payton.

He laughed and shrugged. Nokomis....he thought for a moment, he thought he knew everyone in Hufflepuff, but he didn't know her. He thought that he did see her name on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team though. Jordan, he did know her. Only vaguly though. He had helped her with charms a few times, and he helped her and Dillion with their Hallowen Panks.
"Well, I would have hoped to have a bit more of a reputation, but I guess I will take what I can get"

Kiyla laughed and looked at the crowd.
"You'd think that huh?" Kiyla said.
"So... you're here... and I'm here... so... what do you want to do now?" Kiyla asked awkwardly.

He paused for a moment, stroking his chin as if he was pondering all the options. He then grinned
"Eat!"
He laughed in response and grabbed her arm before heading off towards one of the table's that was stacked high with sweets.
"Halloween is the one day we can eat desert first"

Kiyla gasped as she looked at all the sweets and before she could stop herself she was digging in and grabbing handfuls of everything and stuffing them into her mouth. She ate and ate until she had satisifed her sweet tooth.
"That is what I call desert. And they say skinny people can't eat." Kiyla said with a smirk as she looked at Payton.

He had a slower, more steady way of eating. He had grabbed a plate and stacked it high with every kind of sweet he could find, and now he had eaten his way though most of it and showed no signs of slowing.
He laughed at her comment, and nodded in agreement, downing his second cup of punpkin juice, and placing a hand on his stomach.
"I could eat more candy and deserts than anyone...well, anyone besides Dillion, but the way his brain runs, I'm not suprised"
He laughed at his own comment again, and took a bit bite of a cupcake, smiling over at her before he swallowed, but still maintained his manners and didn't speak until after.
"I could sit here and eat all night."

Kiyla laughed at Payton's comment about his brother. Kiyla felt a little embarrassed about her lack ofmanners today but it didn't really mater to her today. It after all was Halloween. Kiyla was eyeing Payton's other cupcake with that thought and before she could stop herself she had grabbed it and ate it.
"Okay so I couldn't help myself." Kiyla said after she had ate the cupcake. She smiled innocently at Payton and said, "This is why I get so fat around Halloween..."
Kiyla looked down at her stomach (literally!) and laughed as she pat it. "I think I'm going to have to start excersising more..."

He sent her a rather fake looking scowl as she stole his cupcake, but his face soom broke and he was laughing, shrugging as he always did while he looked on his plate for something else to eat.
"Well, don't be suprised if I return the favor sometime"
He laughed, the corners of his lips curled into a smile as he looked over at her, his expression looking as if he was pondering her last remake before he shook his head and poped a piece of candy into his mouth.
"Nah, you look fine just the way you are"
Shrugging again he drank half of another glass of pumpkin juice before looking out across the crowd
"But maybe it is time we get out butts out of these chairs"

Kiyla laughed with Payton then looked out into the crowd.
"Me? Dance? Ha! You've got to be kidding me..." Kiyla said with a snort. She didn't really mind dancing it's just that she... well she guessed she knew how.. but she was just nervous.

He laughed at her comment, leaning back in his chair, his hands linked behind his head. His blue eyes were focused on her, and his lips were curled into a slightly smile.
"And waste the lesson I gave you?"

Kiyla smiled and said, "Well I don't know... it's up to you..."
She knew he would say yes either way but she figured she could at least try and stall but then she thought about it.
"And i suppse that since i am a gyspy that I am like a 'natural dancer' or something huh? I don't think I know how to belly dance though." Kiyla said with a laugh.

He grinned at her reply, she was definatly coming into her self little more. When they first met, she could hardly tell him her name, and how she was talking about belly dancing.
"Were even then, I don't know how to belly dance either"
He flashed her another bright grin, pleased with his own reply, before he looked out across the crowd. Gathered a few tables down were some other hufflepuff students, ones he guessed didn't have dates, as it seemed to be a gathering of girls.
"If you don't want to dance, I'm sure I could bribe someone to. Oh, you meantioned some girls. What was her name, Nokomis? I bet I could get her to dance with me"
He was grinning at her, obviously joking, though his eyes were narrowed as if he was trying to be serious

Kiyla smirked at Payton.
"Well, then maybe i should dance..." Kiyla said with a small smile. She looked around at everyone else.
"Well if you insist..." She said grinning.
