Lizzy asked the question that almost literally created a word vomit from the little Undead's mouth.
"Y-yeah...I'm...I'm kind of stuck. I was testing my bounds and got into this body but couldn't get back out because I wasn't strong enough so I enrolled in the academy to GET stronger but now Riley says it's because I think I can't get out is the new reason as to why I can't get out so I have to start thinking positive and stuff and Riley said she'd help me and Malodore and Christof are going to build me a new body but I don't know what I want to do with it like looks wise or even if I can do it but they insist on helping me try and not giving up until it works so..."
Finally she took a breath, though she really didn't need to.
Luckily it was around the same time as the hug, and she more than happily hugged back. Lizzy was definitely easier to spill the beans to...she was so nice!
"I...I think it'd a good idea, in theory? I mean...even if I get stuck in the new one and something happens to it I can just...upgrade the parts, right? This one is too decayed, Christof said." Yes, she still referred to Christof as a boil who could speak. "T-Thank you, Lizzy! I promise, if it works."

"Ohh, yes, you do need to be more confident in yourself!" Lizzy patted Amrita gently on the head as she nodded, pulling away slightly but still staying close to the ghoul, "If its natural for your kind to do this, I don't think it has much to do with power. Maybe just willpower? Either way, its good to start thinking positive!" She nodded again; perhaps this Riley is not that bad after all, if she's helping Amrita become unstuck.
"Well, that's true... If it works, the dress can be a 'Yay it works!' gift instead!" She mused with a soft giggle, "You'll become like a Patchwork though? Didn't you tell me you like Patchworks?" She was referring to when they were talking about the 'types' of boils they prefer, and she paused, wondering if Amrita remembered, "Now you'll be one! Well, sort of."

Amrita sighed in relief. Oh, that was a weight off her chest! So to speak, anyway. She kind of felt bad for not telling Lizzy earlier but with everything that happened nobody could really blame her for it.
"But...Won't the measurements be different? I told Malodore I want to look my age so...this is too small?" She picked at her own arm like one would pick at a piece of clothing; essentially, that's all this body was to her. "Yes! If it works, I'll be a patchwork! I like them, but...not that way." She assured Lizzy in a super serious voice with a super serious expression to match; that conversation that been baffling and embarrassing at the same time!
"I don't know what I want to do, Malodore said to start thinking of what I want...I mean, I want to look my age...and kind of have the same features..." She took a moment to brush a hand across her darker cheek, through her hair and to then quite literally poke her eye. "But...it was asking things like...height and weight, and on groanspring Christof asked about leg di...ameter...? And someone else asked about what cup size I'd prefer." That last part was said in a confused tone; she still didn't know what cups had to do with it, or what A, B, C or D meant.
"I had to ask Christof about that one, though."

"I meant that I'll have to take measurements off your new body and then make a dress, silly!" Lizzy giggled; seems like she brought along her sewing materials for nothing today... Well, at least she got Amrita to promise to allow her to make a dress? That's a start, right? She blinked when Amrita turned serious, but the way she sounded and looked caused her to giggle, a hand raised to pat Amrita, "I know, I know..."
As she continued to listen, it dawned on Lizzy that it seems like the taking of measurements will have to start earlier than she expected. With an understanding nod, she tried to imagine Amrita's current body 5 years later (well, she said that it was the body of a 9-year old, right?), and smiled a little, "I imagine longer hair, and you'll probably be around my height? As for weight, I'll have to say that weight will be determined by the type of body you choose anyway, so don't worry too much about it."
How do you determine the weight of something before making it anyway?
"Leg diameter? Well, think of it this way - legs differ in length and thickness. I guess the diameter would be something like how thick you want your legs to be? Do you want long,slim legs - say like Sin's - or would you prefer lean, muscular legs - like... Um, Shehk's?" She pulled the last example out of her imagination, really - she just assumed the FEARleader captain to have legs like that.
A blush crept onto her cheeks however, as she paused, "Ah- Well, cup size is basically the size of your chest. I mean breast." Her blush deepened in color, but Lizzy did not want Amrita running up to a boil to ask about cup size! She nodded, trying her best not to let herself be embarrassed by the topic, "The higher the letter, the bigger the size of your chest. So A is the smallest, and D is the largest... Personally, B or C sounds reasonable for a 14-year old."

While Lizzy was answering all of her questions, she had no idea. Most people, if given the opportunity to have their perfect body built for them, would likely have a grocery list of exact specifications or at least a longer list of things they would like to have changed. Amrita had no idea; all the wanted was to not be rotting. That was it. Everything else was something she didn't know where to start with, or what she would prefer.
"I...I don't know." The Vetala murmured, pressing a reversed hand to the side of her head as a dull ache started to form. Behind her, her feet started to fidget a little bit, the left patting over the right, toes curling lightly. So...cup size was breast size...? That made sense! Poor Lizzy seemed so embarrassed by the subject, but her answer was something that she took into consideration.
"Yeah...Christof said 'C' too...said D was too big any anything smaller wasn't worth it." She was actually quoting him; she read her groanspring often when she was stuck thinking about a new body. She thought about it a little more, then sighed.
"I don't know...I just...don't want to me in a young, rotting body anymore!" That was really her only wish. Luckily, she didn't think to ask what size Lizzy was for a point of comparison. "I don't know where to start."

Seems like Christof was starting to remind her of a gnome...
"Go with that then!" She nodded at her last comment, tilting her head a little to the side, "Although if you really want a place to start, why not the face? I've always thought that the face is the part of the body that most people look at first... So a more mature face will help you look more your age? Like... Your current face but if you're 14 year old!" Lizzy was guessing, but at least, she always looked at the face of a person when speaking to them.
"Oh, height too. How tall do you want to be at 14? I'm kind of below average for my age!" She chuckled lightly, "Always wanted to be taller, but I guess I got used to this height." Besides, it was easier to get a boil taller than you when you're short - not that she was going to admit to Amrita that she was even thinking about something like that... Not after their previous conversation!
"Although you'll still be adorable and Amrita no matter how you look like," Lizzy smiled at the Vetala fondly, patting her gently on her head, "So really... Don't get too stressed up about it!"

There it was. A thought that hadn't occured until now.
If this worked, she'd look different. That meant...she'd have to explain her situation (and her embarrassing failure!) to her friends...and the people she vaguely knew! Oh jack she never thought of that before! Oh jack oh jack! Her expression fell to utter despair for an entirely different reason.
"I don't think I can do this!" She cried out suddenly, her reversed hands lifting to hold the sides of her face, her tumbs crossed over what was left of her nose. "I'll...I'll look different!" It would have been obvious to anyone else, but she never claimed to be smart. "And...and everyone will know!" Now poor Lizzy had a very wide, intense stare focused directly on her. The little Vetala looked so terrified all of a sudden, and Lizzy was apparently being looked at for emotion control.

"What?! Why not?" Lizzy's eyes widened in surprise; Amrita was so excited before? What is something she said? However, as the ghoul rambled on, the Demoness couldn't help but chuckle, although she tried to cover it up with a cough. She took a reversed hand and patted her palm (she would pat the other side normally, but... That would be odd here) in a reassuring way. Smiling, she nodded, "Well, of course people will be curious about your new look, but you're getting an upgrade! We're all growing up and if that means changing a body for you, you shouldn't be frightened of people knowing or asking about it!"
She paused, giving time for her words to sink in before continuing, "Besides, if people ask, you will just have to inform them of your species' natural ability, and how it is normal for you to possess bodies! That's not that hard to do... And its not at all embarrassing." All the while, she was patting Amrita's hand, hoping to calm her down.

Amrita glanced down as Lizzy pat her hand, still quite distressed. Still, the Demoness was right; it was normal to get upgrades and whatnot, for ghouls and boils to change in appearance as they got older. Well, for ghouls and boils that weren't Vetala. An unbodied Vetala could tell each other apart by voice only, other than that they all looked the same as they grew up; they just got bigger. They did choose another body though, so...it was mostly the same.
"I...guess..." She admitted albeit a bit sheepishly. "I just don't want to...have to admit I got stuck?" Luckily for Lizzy she was easy to calm down from the unexpected distress; then again she was easy to calm down at any given moment.
"Either way...I think I wanna talk to the Guidance Counsellor...so much to think about." She rubbed her head a bit with her free hand, threading her fingers back through her own hair.
"A-anyway...how are you? What's new with you?"

"Well, I don't think that's anything to be ashamed about!" Lizzy pouted, looking rather thoughtful as she continued, "Besides, you don't have to explain it to them... I mean, you could just tell them that you found a better body to be in and transfered over for the new school year!" Because a body where you can exchange parts if anything happened to them sound rather awesome.
"The Guidance Counselor? I guess that might help," She nodded, although she had heard that the school's counselor had been less than helpful on several occasions... Still, it was worth a try if there was a chance that he might be able to help Amrita calm down.
She paused at the ghoul's question before shaking her head, "Not much, really..." Its part of the reason why she had came over in the first place - there really was not much to do in her room, "Were you doing anything before I got here? If I did, I didn't mean to disturb you..." The thought came belatedly, but in her defense, she had been excited about making Amrita a dress!

Amrita seemed thoughtful towards Lizzy's suggestion, but she didn't quite say anything more on it; she assumed she'd figure it out later, one way or another. The question though, made her look around thoughtfully. What had she been doing before? Hum...
"...Uhh...I don't know...?" She admitted sheepishly, scratching at her fleshy cheek. "I don't think you did?" Now she was trying to be reassuring, but she wasn't sure how great of a job she was doing. There was a longer moment where she stared at nothing in particular to try and remember what she had been doing, but in the end she failed...though she did take another notice of the bag that Lizzy had carted in with her.
"U-uhm...if you, uhh, want...youcanstillmakemesomething?" She murmured quickly; she'd feel terrible if Lizzy dragged that all the way here for nothing!

"I guess I can make you a simple dress for now," Lizzy giggled softly; she did some research on the type of dress Amrita kept wearing around, and found that it was a 'sari'. Maybe something similar would show the ghoul that expanding her wardrobe was a good idea? Taking the measuring tape off her shoulders, she knelt down in front of Amrita and looped the measuring tape around her waist. Then, she took down the measurements on a little notebook that was tucked into a pocket on her hoodie.
She then repeated this process with Amrita's chest, shoulder, arms and hip; if she was making a dress, she didn't need any other measurements... At least, not any that she could remember in her excitement.
"You make a lovely model," She smiled; finding the Vetala easy to work with even if it might be just because she actually adored her.

Amrita did her best to stay still and not shy away from Lizzy and her measuring tape. She was a good girl, yes! When all the measurements and poking was over and done with, she found herself beaming a little at the compliment no matter how red her face was turning.
"Th...ank...you?" She wasn't sure what made her a good model, but there it was! The little undead squirmed a little bit, pulling at the torn hem of her makeshift sleeve...and then she made a loud 'ah!' sound, as if suddenly remembering something. "I...I have something for you!" She said, still louder than she intended, and shuffled off to dig around her desk. After finding what she wanted, she shuffled back to her friend, her hands clenched and pressed tightly together; once she was in front of Lizzy, she concentrated hard for a moment, and then held an item out to Lizzy.
It was her pin...or at least a copy of it.
"H-here. For you." You were supposed to give it to the people you trusted and were friends with, right?

"You're very welcome~ And thank you for being a good model!" Lizzy stood up, smiling as she pocketed the notebook, dusting down her dress before looking on as Amrita went to search for something. When the pin was produced, the Demoness' expression softened to a touched smile before she took it from the ghoul. Holding it on her own palm, she stared at the pin for a good few seconds before tearing her eyes away from it to look at Amrita again, "Really? Your pin...? Aw, thank you, Amrita!"
She tucked the pin into the same pocket she had kept her notebook before giving the Vetala a tight hug, not letting go as she spoke again, "I would come to your rescue if you ever need it even without this, but... I think its only fair for you to have one."
She nodded firmly, letting go of the ghoul as she fumbled around for her own pin (it was customarily to carry it around). Holding it in her hand as she concentrated, she fed her FEAR into the pin. When she opened up her fingers, there were two pins sitting on her palm. She took the original and held out the copy to Amrita with a grin, "But this makes it official, right?"

"Yeah! You're...you're supposed to give it to, uhm, someone you trust, so..." The shy little ghoul trailed off with a lame shrug, at least until Lizzy moved to hug her. A smile fit on what was left of her lips, and she returned the hug as best as she could.
"I know." She assured Lizzy, and she hoped that by giving the Demoness her pin, it would be understood that the feelings were the same. "B-but it just...felt right?" Which it did, of course. Released from the hug, she looked on with interest as Lizzy...made her a copy of her pin, too?!
"Th...Thank you!" She cried out, taking the pin and holding it clasped in both of her hands and tucked closer to her nearly hollow chest.
"This means a lot to me..." She murmured, clearly touched. Aww, her first pin that wasn't hers!
