The week had flown by faster than she thought would have been possible but it was much easier to look forward to Halloween than it was too focus on all that had happened on that day of chaos. She had been avoiding the topic of Bloodstone and anything to do with the truce since it still hit a sour cord and it was something she just couldn't handle yet. She knew that Blood was who he was and Home World views weren't going to change but it didn't hurt less to hear them. It made her doubt herself and how far she had come. Today though wasn't a day to grieve or think of the negatives, they would have fun and join their human friends in their celebration of their holiday. As it was, Aqua had already decorated the Temple's main room with the help of Johnny, Gilles and Spinel's instructions and advice. 

At the moment she had just finished making preparations for her costume later that evening, deciding it would be amusing to look as humans do when in her costume. She was curious to what she would look like and also it was a little bit entertaining to think of her human friends reactions (even others period) or at least she hoped so. Body painting was...difficult and the hair dye thing had been slow but at least it was temporary and ready for later that night. Aqua was happily sitting in the main room with a book, sporting her finally dry black hair and human colored skin that she was careful not to smudge since the first time had been a pain to apply.

Aqua glanced up from her book, not catching the noise from the door as she had been so zoned into the written words or at least that was until Emerald spoke about seeing who it was. It was then that she realized that he was right about a muffled voice which made her a bit curious and she straightened up a bit more from her leaned back position on the couch. It wasn't until she heard Bloodstone's name that she froze a bit, glancing at the door behind her and wondering if she still had time to go into it without being noticed. She sighed, shaking her head as she would not run or duck away whenever the other Gem was around and waited for Blood to enter upon Emerald's invitation.
