"Course I have," he said, looking her straight in the eye and lying. Well, partially lying. He turned and headed into the building. "And because I got an entire play's worth of music to revise. It's a jackload of work to do," he told her. "So you can go on up to your room and I'll go to mine--"

WHAM.
That was the sound of Hel’s fist going into Roch’s gut as he tried to pass her. Luckily she wasn’t wearing her gauntlet.
The ghoul pulled back, and cracked her knuckles with a grin. “We can either talk now and get it over with, or I will hound you the entire way, and then we can talk and get it over with.” Hounding would also imply violence.

Roch grunted, grabbing his stomach as he bent over in pain. "Jackdammit, Hel! What do you want from me??" he demanded. "I ain't your boilfriend, I don't HAVE to be here all the time!"

“Ha! I don’t need you around all the time.” Hel returned.
She rounded on the reaper, standing between him and the reaper dorm’s entrance once more. “There is a difference between not being around and avoiding though! I can’t help but feel like you’ve been avoiding me.” She placed her hands on her hips. “So let’s have a chat, eh?”

"It's--you--" He muttered something dark. "What the jack am I supposed to do with ghouls that are dating someone? I say the wrong thing, I come off as if I'm flirting--and the LAST thing I want to do is flirt with a taken ghoul, cuz seriously, nothing is more annoying than an enraged boilfriend! And I know you're datin' Mot, which makes it even MORE troublesome, cuz I once asked you out, and HE heard it! And I like you, Hel, but--"

Hel just looked…confused now, like all that Roch was saying didn’t make sense…well…that’s because it didn’t. “What do you mean, what do you do with ghouls? Nothing has changed between you and I, Roch.” Hel nodded her head, firmly. “You are still my good friend, and I do still enjoy spending time with you. Whether I am with Mot or not—“ Heh, she rhymed! “Will not change that. I know what I feel for him, and I know…well…I hope he knows how I feel for him.”
The reaper rolled her shoulders. “You think Mot is going to stop being a gentleman to other ghouls? No, he is not.” Ha, take that, Roch! “And---wait.” Hel narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean….he heard, and you like me, but what?”

"But jack, Hel, your sister? I was stuck on the field trip and all I did was try and cut off these poofy sleeves that she was stuck in--long story--and Herryk's been tryin' to kick my a** ever since! I don't even LIKE your sister, Hel! Not that way! And if I wind up with EVERY boilfriend in the school gunning after me because I tried to be nice to their ghoulfriend? I will be DEAD. D. E. A. D."

Hel scowled at the mention of her sister. Her sister was a menace! To Mot, and now apparently to Roch too! The reaper rubbed her face in frustration. It’s always Freya’s fault.
“I’ll have to go beat her down again, huh? Ugh!” Hel rubbed her face a bit more vigorously. “You know Mot isn’t like that though, Roch! He is your good friend, after all…and answer my question! What did he hear?”

"He was there, on our last fake date," Roch said. "Didn't you see him walking away with Xiu? He was there, and I bet he heard me. He's probably certain I got a thing for you--which seriously, I don't. And I don't got a thing for Xiu anymore, either," he said simply.
"So what do I have to show him as proof I ain't chasing his ghoul? ESPECIALLY when she tackles me outside the dorm building and sits on me! And Freya's a pain in the a**, sure, but its her boilfriend I have the most trouble with. And then I got stuck walking Mitsu to the bookstore--and I DEFINITELY don't want to deal with Shun. I barely know Mitsu," he complained. "Much less care enough to try and steal her from her boilfriend. No, if you ask me, taken ghouls are off limits."

Roch really wasn’t making any sense to Hel. None. But what was clear and apparent to the ghoul was apparently Mot had been following them with Xiu. Wait…ugh…so that had been them? Well, she felt really stupid now. She was going to have to have a talk about this with the cowboil later. “…Ugh…” She pinched the bridge of her nose, and then crossed her arms as she listened to the punk prattle on.
One problem at a time. Mot would be questioned later.
“Roch!” The reaper suddenly snapped after a while, growing more and more impatient. “Are you even listening to yourself!? You’re ridiculous! Granted, my sister is another matter, but as for everyone else? You’re just being ridiculous!” Hel stomped her foot. “As long as you don’t have the intent to chase after someone who is taken, why does anything else you do or don’t do matter? Are you saying that I can not have your company anymore just because I am taken? That’s stupid! You’re stupid.”

"Mmm... nope," he said, having made up his mind. "No, seriously, it's easier this way," he told her, shrugging. "No mix ups, no misunderstandings, I got enough guys aiming for my head as it is, and intent and interpretation are SO seriously two different things, y'know?" he added with a finger up.
"I might not intend to look like I'm hitting on you, but a lot of people could interpret you tackling me and sitting on me as there being some definite hitting on going on!" He started inside, going around her.

Hel stomped her foot again, and scowled, loudly. “Easier!?” She repeated incredulously. “It sounds easier for you! Have you even thought about how others might feel about these stupid thoughts of yours!?” The reaper was becoming quickly worked up. She was partly cranky because it was way past her bed time, and because Roch was being stubborn and stupid. Of course, Hel was also being a hypocrite by thinking Roch was being stupid and stubborn, but her hypocrisy wasn’t the point right now.
She was absolutely livid when he tried going around her.
“This conversation isn’t done!” The valkyrie hissed. “Don’t you turn away from me you coward!” Rather quickly, Hel had summoned her weapon and took a hard and swift strike at Roch’s knees, looking to knock the boil right off of his feet with the pole part of her spear.

He grunted, then shoved himself back to his feet, looking cross. "Now you're gonna beat on me? I'll tell you now, Hel, this decision is looking better by the moment! And of course I'm thinkin' about myself! Somebody's gotta! Now go back upstairs to your jackin' boilfriend and let me go to bed already!" he snarled, right in her face.
It really was no wonder his granddad had divorced his grandma. Valks were pains in the asses.

“You’re not making this decision because of me beating on you!” She snarled right back into his face, a finger coming up to prod him in the chest. She was not backing down.
“All your friends are thinking about you too! Well, if they’re not, then I am! As your friend, I’m telling you that you’re being stupid! If you think I’d be better off or happy with you not being around, than you’re an awful friend!” She placed her free hand against his shoulder and shoved him.

He gave her a grin. It was twisted mockery of happiness, but it was a grin nonetheless. "I'm so jackin' glad you figured that out. I thought for sure you'd be too stupid to," he told her coldly. Now his mouth was working where his brain had stopped.
He was gonna die, and he probably deserved it.
