"...You like me? Why?"
It was an honest question, one that completely outweighed all that the other had asked of her, even the bit about getting enough to eat (which Chuppi was thanks to the massive pet slaughters as of late), and she overlooked the question about things that were taller too. She wanted to know why someone liked her, because it seemed...odd.
Of course she wasn't going to look this in the mouth, since she said she liked someone too often and she liked this demon, but how could she explain it? How could anyone explain it? Her question was pointless and she felt a bit bad.
"Um, never mind."

"Why?" Lizzy seemed to ponder over the question for a second, 'hm-ing' softly to herself before replying, "Well, because from your actions, you seem nice and you're honest about your feelings. Most students seem too concerned about how others view them to be this honest. Its kind of... Refreshing."
She paused, wondering if it sounded weird; she never had to explain these things before... More often than not, she would just go with her feelings.
"Oh, by the way, what are you doing here? Isn't this way to the Demon Dorms?" She pointed at the manor in the distance before turning her attention back to Chuppi. Did she maybe come to visit a Demon friend?

"I....I got lost. I was hunting down something and it wandered this way and when I managed to catch it I found out I didn't know where I was."
Chuppi had omitted the 'and I ate it/drained it entirely of its blood', trying not to sound as gruesome as she actually was. The chupacabra wasn't getting full from the meals in the cafeteria; she was getting full of the blood of the pets and other creatures that ran around Amityville nearly unchecked. Just a few weeks ago she'd fed well from the blood of slaughtered unicorn-like creatures, though lately it was nothing but fish. Not that Chuppi had anything against fish, but maybe something new was in order for her to want to try.
"I was trying to get back to the monster dorms when I ran into you. I was scared because the last demon I met he wasn't so nice to me. He took my thermos and I had to get it back even though I didn't want to hurt him."
She didn't regret doing what she'd done though, because to Chuppi only her Thermos and her eventual safety mattered. Most of the time though it was only her Thermos.

"Ah, I see," Lizzy nodded, a slight frown on her lips as she tilted her head, stroking her chin thoughtfully, "Do you know your way back? You've wandered pretty far from the Monster Dorms... They're on the other side of the Reaper Dorms, or if you follow the path, you have to go back to the Dorm Registration Office first."
She then paused, eyes widening, "That's so mean of him! Anyone who bullies another should be punished." Her expression than softened, "I'm glad you got your thermos back though; it seems to be really important to you!"
She laughed, wondering if she was stating the obvious; after all, she was sure that even in most of the classes where she had seen Chuppi, the thermos was there too... Then again, she might be mistaken.

"I don't know how to get back, I wasn't...really paying attention. When I am running I keep my head low and try to not focus on anything but what I am chasing for. Is a bad habit when I'm hungry."
Chuppi looked down at the ground, scuffing her toes in the dirt as she swayed a bit. Admitting her faults was never fun but she always did it, considering she had quite a long list of them and most of why she did what she did could be explained in that manner. Maybe...if she pushed her luck just a little bit. . . ?
"I'm not very good with directions either. My kind, we don't travel very far unless it's needed. Uusually we hunt in the same span of hundred miles or so, but there are many houses we stay in in that area. That way if you're ever lost there is a branch family to stay with."
Actually, that was a little rare. The number of chupcabra besides Chuppi and her family was very low - in fact she'd only ever met one or two she wasn't related to. Her parents had said it was something about humans and their fear changing, but the monster had been too young to understand.

"I see... It sounds nice, I mean, to have big families... I've always wanted a sibling." She replied wistfully, wondering what it was like to wake up to more than just one other voice; when her father was still around, it was probably more lively around the house, but she was too young then to remember days from that time.
"Well, I think it'll be safer to take the long way back then," The Demon suggested after a second's pause; maybe she should take a longer walk than she had planned. Anyway, she was worried about Chuppi getting lost again... The campus is rather big, and one wrong turn might cause you to end up in an unfamiliar location. Also, it would be bad if she ran into a nasty Demon again... At least 2 is more intimidating than 1, right?
"How about I walk you back? I'm pretty good with directions! Although its probably not a good idea for me to go too close to the Monster Dorms, I can probably walk you to somewhere you find familiar!" She offered, smiling as she gave a nod, "Besides, I need the exercise!"

"Big families aren't fun, you have to fight for food and affection. I am not the youngest, but I am the runt. They are much bigger than I am."
Chuppi started to waddle down the road that would lead her back to the monster dorms, so very glad that she was being accompanied by a demon. At the very least this way it looked as though she was being escorted away or had had a reason to be there instead of just having arrived there on accident.
"And thank you for coming with me. I don't get lost after I've been somewhere before but since I wasn't paying attention . . . .so thank you. But why do you need the exercise? You look thin enough to me, like I could easily break you. You are not fat like I am."
The chupacabra patted the top of her stomach slightly, noticing though that despite how she said she was pudgy she may or may not have been losing weight recently. It all had to do with activity, right? Well anyway. . . .
"After the monster dorm, maybe we can play again sometime?"
She felt like pushing her luck, okay!

"Really? Growing up as the only child can get pretty lonely though... There's nobody to talk to before bed, nobody to play with when I'm stuck indoors," She paused, looking a little sad as she sighed, "And mealtimes can get so quiet and cold if my mother is out on business trips, since I'll have to eat alone. Fighting for food and affection definitely sounds rough, but it sounds fun, in a way!"
She reached out a hand, grabbing Chuppi's hand as they walked and holding it gently; the monster was adorable, and she couldn't help herself! It almost felt like she was leading her non-existent younger sister on a walk... Ah, bliss!
"I'm actually comfortable with my body! Exercise is about keeping fit too, right?" She pointed out with a giggle, "I don't really enjoy anything too vigorous so I usually take walks to maintain my stamina... You see, I'm not that good at sports. Also, you are not fat. Since you're so strong, you sure those aren't muscles?"
Her tone was serious - she believed that those were muscles. Or at least, there must be some awesome muscles under there somewhere. At the suggestion, Lizzy almost jumped in joy, but settled for nodding several times, grinning from ear to ear, "Yes, yes yes! I would love that, very much!"
Today really was fabulous!
