Nikkie + Payton:
Nikkie bobs their head in acknowledgement. In an instant, they turned into a distinctly feminine human form. Wavy, honey brown hair fell down their back in cascades and framed their face, causing their interesting, storm colored eyes to pop.
"Seems you'll take our hospitality." Nikkie jokes, "Might as well take something else as well. Water? Bread, I believe is what you call it? I helped make it." Nikkie says proudly as they slide off the table to get something for the human. Humans needed to eat and sleep, Nikkie knew that much.
Payton stumbles into the kitchen, yawning. His brown hair is tousled and he has a blanket still wrapped around his shoulders. (I italicized what is spoken in a language other than English, so you can have Dream understand or not) "Nikkie? Why'd you leave? You're nice and warm."
"I'm here. I would have preferred hot to describe me, but I'll accept what you said. We've got a guest." Nikkie says with a small smirk and offers Payton and Dream a glass of water and slice of bread. Payton takes the water and mumbles a thanks. Then he seems to really wake up.
"Oh. Which one of you is Nikkie again?" Payton asks, looking between Dream and Nikkie. His accent would seem familiar*. Nikkie raises their hand.
"I'm here, Payton." Nikkie says. To prove a point, they turn to the human form Payton is most used to seeing them in. They're still tall and had stormy grey eyes, but that's where the similarities end. Nikkie is now more masculine, has short blonde hair and lighter skin tone.
"Oh." Payton says again. "Am I allowed to ask how you got the other form?"
"Sure. I took another person's soul." Nikkie says it as calm as if saying it's raining outside. Payton shakes his head.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to having a kitsune as a roommate." Payton mumbles before nodding a hello to Dream.
Nikkie laughs and hops back onto the table, sitting criss cross and back in their female human form. Their grey eyes watch the two humans.

(*Random note: Payton's accent is the same as the accent Destiny noted earlier coming from Alex because Alex has a knack for mimicking others and he tends to copy those he likes. ^^ Just another one of Alex's quirks.)

(Sounds good. ^^ Question: can he purr?)

Alex:
Through Alex's big jacket, Ant would be able to feel Alex's small and fragile frame shaking. He slowly relaxes in Ant's arms before cricket made another figurative and verbal stab at him and he becomes even more taunt. Alex shakes his head when Ant asks him the question about crickets. He begins to panic when Ant gets in the way of him and the cricket. He didn't want Ant to get hurt. He didn't know what to say or do when Ant turned into a cat. Well, he had one idea and once Ant had succeeded in getting Cricket, Alex followed through and picked Ant up, giggling as he buries his face in the floofy fur of the white cat.
"Thank you." Alex chirps, his voice muffled in the amount of fur.


Payton + Nikkie:
Nikkie is actually concerned for the human now. Something is obviously not right. Humans need to eat. Declining food is not good. "Can't take our food? Yes, yes you can. If you don't, you'll die. Humans need to eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat-" Nikkie stops tapping the bread to Dream's hands when Payton takes the bread for himself, nibbling on a corner.
"Leave the guest be. If he does not want food, he does not want food." Payton says, coming to sit beside Dream. He's still half asleep, but keeping up fairly well despite this. He smiles when Dream said he needs to apologize to someone, having been in the same boat earlier. Now he just needs to make sure Alex is alright.
"I have got a couple, the most common ones nowadays being Payton and Human." Payton says and rests his head on the table, causing him to look up at Dream. "Do you want to play a game or something while we wait out the... the... the, um, just a moment, my brain's not functioning."
Payton sits up again and his brow furrows in concentration. "Do you want to play a game or something to get out of the rain." He had switched through more than a few languages while saying that sentence, a few words per language. "The rain! Yes, that is the word I am looking for. You just said it too, my apologies."
(Again, I used italics for different languages. ^^)

(Awesome! ^w^)
Alex:
Alex reluctantly lets go of Ant. Ant has helped get rid of Cricket for now, but who knows when Cricket'll come back? Alex tries not to think about it. He shuffles closer to the couch and leans against it, resting his head on the cushion of the couch. He's too lazy to get onto the couch and is completely content sitting one the floor and falling asleep there. Alex starts when Ant speaks into his head with the question, still not used to it.
"Yes? I think so?" Alex sits up and pulls up the sleeves of his jacket, examining the small nicks Cricket had inflicted. Only a few were still bleeding and Alex is sure they'll go away soon. "Yeah. I'm alright." Alex tugs his sleeves down again before pulling his arms inside to hug himself. He can't help but shudder and pull his hands back.
"I keep forgetting I have cold hands." Alex mutters as he moves his arms back into his sleeves and tucking his hands away in his pockets.

Payton + Nikkie:
"I didn't? I'm sorry! I'm Payton, at your service. Nikkie calls me Human. As for a game, what do you think about a card game?"
Nikkie sucks in a breath and shakes their head, "No! I would advise you not to accept the challenge. My human is very good at playing Nine and Lucky Duck."
Paytom glances at Dream when the masked boy thought he looked cute. Payton blushes slightly, not sure what to think about the sudden rush of feelings he had for... for someone? and ultimately deciding not to say or do anything since Payton isn't sure if those are his own feelings or someone else's.
Payton chuckles and returns his attention to Nikkie, getting up to grab two sets of cards. "Nah, I am just lucky. It is called 'Lucky Duck' for a reason." He sets his blanket down on a chair as he heads to grab a few other games other than the two sets for a few card games.
Nikkie pops up and holds Payton back. They lead Payton back to his chair and force him to sit. "I'll get it! I'll get the games." They wanted to grab a game that Payton wouldn't win at because they were tired of losing to the human.
"Ok." Payton sits back down. He tugs his blanket back around him as Nikkie disappears to find where Payton kept the games. Payton's fingers wound around the blanket as he debated on whether or not to talk or let it pass in silence.

(You probably did, I probably forgot, sorry!)

Alex:
Alex nods and rests his head back on the couch. Perhaps he will finally be able to sleep. Perhaps. Depends on how quickly he manages to dose off. If it takes more than ten minutes, he'll probably end up not being able to sleep tonight.

Payton + Nikkie:
(Kitsune powers other than shapeshifting and devouring peoples souls? Depends on what type of kitsune they are. xD Nikkie is an elemental based kitsune, only able to manipulate metal since they only have one tail. They're young, only a couple hundred years old, and still learning.)
"Um... No, I do not think I do. I have been told I am easy to teach, so if you think you can explain it in the time it takes Nikkie to come back, feel free to." Payton hesitates at times when speaking to make sure he's using the right conjugation of words correctly. He had been brought up in a family that used a bunch of languages, never restricting a sentence to a single language, and Alex had been able to grasp the concept of it after a little while. Payton had fallen out of the habit of speaking only one language when with others, in this case English.
He flinches when the walls come down. He relied on others emotions to tell him what to feel and he is used to being with others, especially those with strong emotions like Alex, and the absence of it make him feel hollow and empty.

(xD Same to the second statement. We could always just say they played the game, learned a few things about each other, played a few rounds, and not really have to get into details?)

Alex isn't asleep, failed to fall asleep in the time limit and now he is cursed to stay awake for the rest of the night; not that he minds, he's used to being able to entertain himself and keeping to himself and being alone.

Payton
Payton relaxes some when he's able to tell what Dream is feeling once more. Dream being calm causes Payton to be calm. Payton takes off his blanket, letting it fall to rest on his lap, as he apologizes for... for poking around in someone else's business, he decides. Payton doesn't seem to react to the memory of teaching Nick poker. Payton recites what he learns, just to make sure and double check he understood. He smiles and nods his head in thanks to Dream for taking the time to teach him.
Nikkie comes back, still in female human form, games in hand. "Payton, can you do my hair?" Nikkie asks, handing Payton a hair brush and a few hair ties and clips. Payton tilts his head slightly, confused on why Nikkie would be asking for that right now, but he agrees and motions for Nikkie to sit down while he stands up so he could do the kitsune's hair. Nikkie giggles and grins, clapping their hands together as they hop into the seat. Nikkie kicks their legs cheerfully as Payton begins to french braid their hair.
"We're going to play poker. Do you know how to play?" Payton asks Nikkie. Nikkie chirps a positive answer and jumps to set up. However, Payton's not finished with the braid and Nikkie doesn't get far before falling back on the chair.
