Jericho could see how constantly setting things on fire could be troublesome for someone who was incredibly flammable. In which case, he supposed he could try to take the Death charm off of her hands but he was fairly certain it was tied to Amrita despite how friendly it seemed towards himself.
"Is there something wrong with being a fire dragon?" he frowned before feeling something gnawing at his foot. Glancing down, he saw the minipet chewing on his shoe with a rather low growl. It was acting pretty differently from how it was just moments ago.
"... I don't think it likes that idea so much by the way," he added while trying to move his foot away from the minipet. He didn't want to have to buy new shoes today.

"No...?" Amrita wrinkled up her nose a bit, finding it an odd question at first. It took a while for it to sink in, but when it did she shook her backwards hands out in front of her. "NONONO OF COURSE NOT JUST---" Awwwwww Jack she'd kind of buried herself, didn't she?! "It set things on fire and...and it's scary." The fire, of course...though DC was pretty scary to her sometimes too. Jericho didn't accidentally set something on first the first time they met (that she could remember anyway, and he certainly didn't do it now), so she had no problem with him...
"...Alright, nevermind." Amrita sighed, leaning back in the chair and looking away for a moment. DC seemed pleased with the turn of events and shuffled after the foot while on his belly to rest his head on it again. Life remained normal.
"...Oh!" A sudden thought hit her; this would be the perfect opportunity to get some opinions! She moved to look curiously at the Dragon boil. "What kind of ghoul do you like? Like, uhm, physically, I mean. H-height and stuff." There was a brief moment where she may have cupped her hands over her chest as Christof had once. Maybe. She had no idea how out in left field the question was coming from.

After giving Amrita a critical eye for a good moment or so, he decide to wave her comments off. It didn't seem like she had meant it after all, and it appeared that the Death Charm was happy with her response as well. Grinning at the minipet that had calmed down now, it also appeared that he was correct in how attached the little guy was to its master.
The question she presented him had the dragon do a double take.
"Wh-what?" he stammered as he stared at her. Did she really just asked him what sort of girls he was attracted to? While... he was relatively certain she was somewhere around his age, she looked to be at least half of it, which made things a little awkward in Jericho's book.
"Uh... preferably not a girl taller than me..." he said while looking a little bewildered, "I guess um... a nice figure?"
Being caught off guard with the question had him unable to really produce anything all too useful. Though, he didn't think about this sort of thing too often in the first place.

Poor Jericho. Amrita still didn't realize how weird her question was, but it was pretty clear she was listening and paying very careful attention. It was research material! Important research material! She mulled over his answers, her eye on the ceiling.
"Sooo...How tall are you?" Having an actual height to work with would be nice, right? Hmm... "And...what do you consider a 'nice figure'?" She was very interested in getting a clearer answer, and it would be up to Jericho to announce his discomfort over the issue; she was too busy in her own thoughts to take note of it herself.
All this thinking ahead and being able to answer their questions...Christof and Malodore would be so proud of her! Thinking ahead was not her specialty, but she was definitely trying.

Jericho stared at Amrita, as he tried to figure out what on earth was on her mind to be asking these questions. Shifting in place a little, he had to think on that for a little bit.
"Ah... Well in this form I'm 5'11"... if you don't count my horns," he replied while furrowing his brow before grimacing some while coming up with an answer on the figure thing. He really didn't think he'd be answering these sorts of questions ever... when the inquirer was a girl at least.
"W-well... kind of a curvyish body... not too skinny or not too fat.. um.. some muscles would be nice I guess..." he said somewhat hesitantly, "Er.. why do you ask?"

"I don't." She assured him, though with a bit of a frown that followed. He wasn't being very helpful! The only thing she really got out of this was 'shorter than 5'11'...boo. Well, height was better than nothing! Before she could inquire any more on his definition of too skinny and too fat, he managed to distract her with that question of his.
"Why?" There was a but of surprise in her voice when she parroted him; oh, she didn't explain it?! Well, uh, oops. "Oh! C-Christof and, ahh, the doctor whatwashisnameuhhh MALODORE, yes, Christof and Malodore are going to...try and build a body for..." She trailed off, not really ready to say for who on her own, without prompting. Her words were, as always, pretty disconnected for the most part, but it was yet another thing she didn't realize.
"Soooo...This is...research? Yes. Research." There was another pause as she tried to pick up her previous train of thought, taking a moment to scratch at the fleshy side of her nose.
"What cup size do you think is best?" Was her next question, something she'd been curious about ever since it was anonymously posted on her groanspring. It seemed a topic up for debate, really!

Christof and Malodore were building a body for someone? Now that was interesting, though Jericho was still very much bewildered by this topic. It was a little less awkward to know this was for research, but not by a whole lot. He was really curious on who this new body was for exactly since he didn't know of anyone who could take on something like that.
Little did he know, he was actually speaking to someone who could.
"Cup size?" He repeated. The dragon was almost certain that this was the sort of thing he could potentially get slapped for but... she was the one asking.
"Um... B or C are g-good?"

Jericho didn't ask who, and Amrita didn't volunteer the information. It was perfect! But now she wished she'd brought along a pen and paper or something! She hoped and wished that she could remember all this when she finally got back to her dorm later on. Otherwise poor Jericho would be getting round two of the same questions, especially now that he was being a little more helpful.
"Oooh...That seems common." She mentioned, humming thoughtfully again and tapping her fingers on the sides of her chair. What else had Malodore asked her to think about? Hrm...
Poor Amrita seemed to be going about this all wrong; she wasn't looking to have a perfect body built for her (true, all she wanted was no more rot and to look her age), but it was apparently something she still had to think about (ugh, thinking), and what better way to think about it than to ask her classmates about what was best! She was just choosing the wrong way to ask it.
"Is there someone that like, matches that?" What better way to think about it than to actually see it!

Common? Jericho frowned at the thought as it seemed like she was going around asking a lot of people these things. Research was research he supposed but it was still awkward nonetheless. He was going to have to try and find out who this was for later on. Right now he was still a little blown away by what was happening.
Blinking as she asked if there was someone that matched what he thought of, his jaw dropped open slightly and there seemed to be a hint of color in his cheeks.
Now he was more hesitant about answering this one than the others. He really didn't want to give the wrong impression and all. But.. finding someone attractive wasn't really the same as really being attracted to them right?
"A-actually R-Riley kinda fits that..." he mumbled.
It felt weird saying that.

His blushing granted him a curious look from the little Vetala, but she passed it off as...well, she just passed it off.
"Riley?" She parroted again, looking thoughtful. Riley was pretty attractive, wasn't she? It was pretty common for her to not recognize off the bat when a ghoul or boil was attractive, as she generally just saw them as meatsuits; but if she thought about it she could distinguish what was pleasing and what was not. Now that she was thinking about it, Riley was rather attractive.
"I'll try to remember that for when I visit her next!" Amrita promised him, though she knew already that she didn't really want to be that attractive...she didn't think she could handle all the attention that Riley no doubt received on a constant basis.
"Ah...I can't think of any other questions..." There was a clear sound of disappointment in her voice. "U-unless you have something you wanna add, maybe?"

Clearing his throat, Jericho managed to regain his composure, though he had shifted again in his seat. He now had strange images of this girl before him staring at Riley's chest and body in general to study her for this odd project. Shaking his head to himself, he relaxed when it seemed that Amrita was through with the awkward questions.
"No... not in particular," he said with a frown.
Again, it was just weird to be thinking and answering questions about all of this when he wasn't actively seeking out a girl for himself. If that wasn't the case, he was sure he'd have better answers. And while he wanted to know more about this project in general, he was a little wary to ask anything of it lest it spiral out into another series of awkward questions for him to answer.
It would probably be safest to ask Malodore about it.

Amrita wouldn't stare! ...Much. Her natural shyness would get in the way before too long. Unless Riley made her look at her again...but that was about it.
"Alright! Thank you for the help! It was very, uh....h-helpful." She tented her fingers a bit, tapping them together lightly in a sort of fidget. Apparently it still didn't don on her that it was an awkward set of questions. Poor Jericho. Her gaze moved around a moment before it fell on DC, who was apparently snoozing with his new pillow.
"Do you think..." There was a little pause as she tried to find a way to word this without offending Jericho too much. "...It'll ever stop setting things on f...f...fire?" Topic jumping? Yes, yes she was.

Thankfully for the red dragon, the topic was shifted to something he was more comfortable with. Looking down at the Death Charm which had fallen asleep on his foot sometime during their little 'interview' regarding attractive features, he shook his head some.
"It's not likely that he'll not set anything on fire for good, but you could probably get it to not do it so much," he said, "It's pretty cold in the undead dorms right? It probably likes warmer places so if it sets a lot of things on fire it might just be cold."
That was one possibility he thought. Recalling his time in Christmas Town, he knew he wished he could set the whole jack damn forest on fire to warm the place up. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for others like Amrita), he couldn't do that at the time due to the JOY levels.

"...I guess it is pretty cold...but DC is really warm." Amrita didn't always feel the cold, despite how bone-chilling it could be. Her body was more or less like a fullbody suit; the longer the outfit was in the cold, the more it got transferred to her. With DC in the room she didn't get cold as often. But, she supposed what she was hearing would work.
"So...if I give him something warm to sit by, he'll stop? Err...kind of?" Wide-eyed and thoughtful, she tapped what was left of her bottom lip "I don't want a fire in my room...!" That would be terrible, it was bad enough having DC there!
"And...And I can't move rooms just yet 'cause..." She gestured to herself. Zombie body. She didn't argue with them when they put her in the basement rooms, even though the body stopped rotting completely the moment she entered it. It just seemed fair at the time, and less she would have to explain to everyone else.

Jericho didn't doubt that the Death Charm was warm in itself, but if anything that likely meant it felt the cold more easily. Shaking his head at the fire bit, he tried to think of alternatives.
"No, you won't have to keep a fire in your room. But... Maybe a little space heater or um... a heated blanket would work for it," he said thoughtfully. Of course an actual fire would be better, but it wouldn't be practical for the undead girl. And while he'd offer her to keep some of his lava in her room for the sake of the death charm, it would no doubt harden to stone quickly in the zombie dorms.
"A heat lamp could work too I guess," he added, recalling seeing some things to help cold blooded minipets get some warmth when they needed it.
