Ah, hopefully Mac wouldn’t be displeased with her then…taking up his ghoulfriend’s time and all.
The reaper seemed a bit agitated, though she was just uncomfortable discussing her feelings, or even trying to for that matter. She let her legs slide back down to the ground, straightening out in front of her, and rolled her shoulders once more before leaning back on her hands. Hel let out a bit of an aggravated breath as she stared at the tops of her boots. “…How I feel. It doesn’t matter…it’s irrelevant, so we’re not going to talk about it.”
Stubborn Hel was stubborn?

"And how is it irrelevant?" She pushed gently, pausing a bit before pulling her legs up to her chest. She allowed there to be some sort of a silence between them before speaking again, "I don't think that your feelings are irrelevant at all, Hel..."
Lizzy was stubborn too.

Hel’s brows furrowed, leaving a nice crease in her forehead from the intensity.
“…Bah…Lizzy, it’s irrelevant when someone doesn’t feel the same way you do, right? So thus it’s best to just leave it be, okay?” The reaper didn’t seem to sure on who she was trying to convince of this, and this topic had gone to uncomfortably far already. Yet…something, call it a hunch, told her it could possibly get worse.

"Well..." She started before trailing off, hesitant to continue for a moment as she suddenly found her shoes so very interesting; this was just a difficult topic to broach, "Maybe... But this is high school and we're still young. Feelings change. They evolve... But they never really go away."
She sighed softly, wondering how to best put her thoughts across in words, "Just because someone doesn't feel the same way you do now, doesn't mean that it'll be that way in the future... Leaving it be would mean hiding, avoiding that someone." She was guilty of that for a while, "Honestly, I'm kind of envious of you... My first crush was too fixated on his best friend to ever ask me out to just hang out together. Actually, I can't see him in a relationship with anyone... Even now, it's always me making the effort to call on him, although I consider him a good friend."
She grinned, her expression softening, "Mot, however, is open and warm to everyone. He doesn't get fixated on one person - he has many good friends, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has more than just one best friend right now... I mean, he decided to form a group for the field trip with you, right? I might have known him longer but he didn't ask me."
... What? Hel didn't say 'no, I do not like Mot that way', so it's a possibility! Although the field trip grouping... That stung. It still did, and not only because of Mot; she had just been taking it as an opportunity to actually make new friends to help herself move past it.

Hel glanced over at the spider demoness now as she started to speak, making a bit of a sour face. What? The feelings never really go away? Did that mean Mot was going to like Lizzy forever?
To her credit, the reaper sat quietly as Lizzy spoke, mulling over her words. Some parts had her wanting to try and protest or deny, deny they had any relevance to her and her feelings, but she just remained quiet until the end. “Feelings might change in the future, huh?” Hel echoed, tapping her fingers in the grass. “…That involves waiting though…there’s too many other things to do…I also believe you can let your feelings be, and still interact with others.” Hey, she was doing that with Mot right now! Proof. Hel looked surprised when Lizzy had said she was envious of her though. “…Ah…I am sorry to hear that about your…friend…”
Caught up in someone else, huh? Ignored? Overlooked? Yes, she knew how that felt, all too well.
Mot probably had more than one best friend? Hel…didn’t feel so special anymore, and just gave a short chuckle and a light shake of her head. Oh well. “…Ah, Lizzy…he didn’t pick me for the group…I uh…well…more or less told him we were going to be in a group together…heh.” Hel shifted her weight to one of her arms and rubbed the back of her neck. “And then I found Shun, Mitsu and Riyo…and rather quickly the group was full…so…yes.” The reaper was frowning lightly now as she thought back on it. Maybe Mot would have been…happier if he had been in a group with Lizzy.
Ouch. That one hurt.

"That is very true," She grinned, kind of glad that Hel thought of it that way, "Like I said, I consider him to be a good friend of mine now... I still care for him but in a different way." Shaking her head, she smiled sheepishly, "Don't be... In a way, because of that incident, I grew closer to Mac and we begun to see each other in a different light. Fate works in funny ways sometimes, I guess!"
She looked surprised at the piece of information, "Really? He seemed really excited to be in the group though, so it all worked out! My group was... Rather hastily put together. Most of us didn't know each other till that day, but well! It was a good experience!" Don't let it bother you, don't let it bother you; she had enough of feeling that way, although a Mac hug would be greatly appreciated right now.

The ghoul gave a bit of a distracted nod. Yes, fate did work in funny ways, both of the funny ways. Both ‘haha’ funny and ‘not haha’ funny.
The reaper gave a short laugh. “Excited…? That was the coffee talking.” Oooh the coffee. She remembered that well enough. “…But now…I think he would have liked it better if he had been in your group.” Hel muttered before giving a roll of her shoulders. She cast a dubious look at Lizzy. Good experiences? Now she was kind of doubtful about that…but hey, to each her own, right?

"I doubt so," She shook her head, frowning a bit, "I mean... If he really wanted it, he would have asked me or suggested something, but he didn't. Besides, I think that it's good for him to get to know more people, form more bonds! Would be nice if he could teach Mac to be a little more sociable." She giggled at the idea before waving a hand dismissively in the air; nah, she liked Mac the way he was now, both good and bad... She was accepting them.

Now it was Hel who doubted so.
Okay Lizzy, say what you will, but the valkyrie was feeling rather confident Mot was wishing he had been in Lizzy’s group instead now. Actually, deep down, she had wondered if maybe all of team mates wish they had been in a different group now…heh. No use crying over split milk though, right?...Right?
Hel gave a thoughtful hum, but at the chance to shift to a different subject, she jumped on it. “…Mac isn’t sociable?” The reaper questioned, raising a brow at Lizzy. Now granted, the valkyrie hadn’t hung out all that often with the psychopomp, nor had she really seen him interact with others…but they did go to lunch together, and he watched her poof! “I went to lunch with him sometime after I arrived at the Academy…it was very pleasant.” Hel’s lips quirked a bit in fondness for the memory. Chop stick battles!

"Okay, let me rephrase that," She paused, looking thoughtful before holding up a finger, "Mac isn't sociable towards demons... Which I guess must sound really ironic since I'm his ghoulfriend and Charlie, who's also a demon, is his best friend." Wow, she had never really thought about that.
"Maybe he just likes pink haired demons," She muttered, more to herself than Hel before she perked up, "Really? Mac's a puppy... And his bark is worse than his bite. I... I adore him." Her cheeks reddened as she giggled, twirling a lock of hair around her finger, "And to think we started out disliking each other."

Hel had stumbled onto an amazing discovery. She just needed to get Lizzy to keep talking about Mac. Maybe, hopefully, that way, they wouldn’t talk about anything else!
The reaper raised a brow. “He isn’t…?” This sounded like news to her, but she was a bit confused, considering that Lizzy just undermined the statement. How could he not like demons if he was dating one and was friends with one? Huh. She listened to the spider demoness go on with a tilt of her head, but the more Lizzy spoke, a frown started to tug at her lips. She adored Mac, huh? Hel was becoming trouble. Mot liked her…and here she was going on about Mac…Roch’s words from the last time they hung out echoed in her head.
And I don't know Lizzy that well, but I really doubt she'd be dating a guy she wasn't crazy about. I also don't give a jack about what happens with her love life, but Mot's... I jackin' hate how he's setting himself up like this
Hel suddenly wasn’t so sure she wanted to be listening to Lizzy gush about Mac anymore. “…Started out disliking each other…eh? Funny how that works out…” The valkyrie sounded a bit distracted now, as she tried to think of a different subject to get them hooked onto. “S…Say there, friend…did you still want to work together on a sewing project sometime…?”

"He started out hating me because I was a demon," She visibly winced a little; the idea of Mac hating her for something she could not change was painful to even think about right now... She was glad that he no longer saw her that way, at least, "But yes... Like I said, fate can work in funny ways at times..." Turning two people who didn't always get along to lovers, for example.
"A sewing project?" She echoed, her smile widening, "Sure! Eeee, I would be honored to work with you!" She then paused, like she had just remembered something important, before quickly adding, "Ah, but not till the week's over though... I've been helping a friend with something, and it's been taking up all my time."
She gestured at the dark rings that had started to form under her eyes before giggling softly, shaking her head, "At least it gives me something to do on those sleepless nights..."

Hel did look surprised by this bit of information. Mac had hated her at one point, huh? What a way to go from one end of the scale to another. She was thankful to be drifting away from the subject now though.
The reaper nodded her head, offering a bit of a smile before it faded. Honored to work with her? That was some mighty high compliments right there, and if Hel had been in a better mood, she’d be gloating over it, but not right now. “Ah…that’s fine, friend…it doesn’t need to be right now…whenever works for you…” Truly, it was probably a relief that it wasn’t happening right now…Hel wasn’t sure she could handle that right now, in light of recent events.
She just nodded her head sympathetically in regards to Lizzy’s sleep situation. Geeze...was she the only one sleeping well? Apparently so…

"I'll be sure to contact you about it!" She smiled, genuinely happy and excited that Hel still wanted to work on a project with her, even though she had no idea what they could be working on yet... It was just nice to know that Hel did not resent her or something, after the last field trip.
"I've been a little curious," She admitted softly, turning to look at the ghoul, "How do your people view death?" She remembered that they shared differing views on the matter, but she wondered if anything had changed since the field trip... Since Professor Red's permanent death.

Hel just nodded her head again in regards to that, her gaze shifting back over to the spider demoness though when she asked her question. Oh, that topic, huh? She remember Lizzy and herself hadn’t seen eye to eye on that, but since she was asking…
“…Valkyries do not fear death.” The reaper started, shifting her attention off to the sky now thoughtfully. “If we fall in battle, then that is the most honorable way to go. If one dies, it is hoped that they had accomplished enough in their existence to be remembered by others, for their names to be passed on through the generations…” She trailed off for a moment. “…Professor Red. She truly had a beautiful death. She died protecting those she cared about…no one will ever forget her. She will be remembered and spoken of for many generations to come.”
