"Good... We don't know what that tablet can do, and I really don't want to find out," She glanced briefly at Amrita's hand, and then up again, "I've been better... I almost miss the days were we got sent off for detention for doing silly little things... Like playing truth or dare on school grounds." A smile tugged at the edge of her lips as she put her own hand over Amrita's, seeking comfort in the gesture.
"We're Hobs now! Each October seem to pass by so quickly... It's rather amazing," She sighed and then paused, eyeing the ghoul next to her, before raising an eyebrow; speaking of which, she just remembered something she had been wanting to ask, and this seemed like the perfect time to do so, "So... Care to tell me what is up between you and Christof?"

"Yeah...I don't want them to get their hands on it, either. This is it's home." They were weaponized, which means that any weapon used by the Hunters were probably from Halloween to begin with. If this was a Halloweentown creature, then they were finally home and free. Well, free from orders anyway.
"Aha...y-yeah, that was fun." She agreed with a little chuckle, adjusting her hand a little bit to hold Lizzy's. "I made my first - and only - love poem that day." The fond memory was coupled with a nervous laugh, remember how she had 'summoned her inner Nukpana' and come out with something...interesting. And it was all Calder's fault...or at least it was Calder who showed her how it was done.
"It's been...so busy! I can't believe it...a Hob." Her face lit up in a smile. When she arrived at Amity she never imagined that she'd get this far. "I thought I'd give up and go home by now, but...glad I'm still here." Even with all the stress, she had a lot of good memories here, good and fun times...and then...Lizzy brought up Christof.
The smile faded as surprise took over, her face darkening in a very prominent blush. "W-well...! Th-that's...! Um...!" The surprise over the question faded and her smile slowly returned. "I, um...d-don't e-even know where to---" Her smile nearly overtook her features after that, this goofy yet somehow still awkward thing that she just couldn't help. Shyness took over as it tended to and she dropped her gaze to her lap. "Um. What...did you want to know...?" She didn't know where to start, so she tossed the question right back to Lizzy.

"Yes, but there must be a reason why they're working with the hunters... I heard that some of the students got... Turned into weapons during the Death Trials. Maybe they can tell us more about what it feels like to be one," She nodded with a frown; honestly, she wasn't sure how to approach people about the subject because it felt like she was tapping into some very bad memories that should be left alone, "And I remember how Junko got drunk and sat on Israfel's lap... And how we had to run away from the Headmistress and Professor Red-"
Mentioning the werewolf caused her to deflate almost immediately, although she soon perked up again, "You are! You're a Hob, and most of our friends from that Truth or Dare game - Calder, Junko, Riley - we're all here! Let's make it to graduation together, alright? Nobody left behind, nobody... Taken from us." It's funny how it took a talk with Amrita for her to remember the main reason they decided to set up Seeds.
"You grew up a lot too, Amrita," She giggled, giving her hand a squeeze before watching the ghoul's face darken. Ohhhh, so there is something going on between those two, after all!
"Well... For starters, when did the two of you start dating? I wasn't even aware that you had feelings for him!" She looked curious; she was going to use the phrase 'seeing each other', but Amrita would probably take that literally, "And... Uh, how far into the relationship are you? Did the two of you go on a date before? Held hands?"
A long pause followed as she tilted her head, looking like she was preparing herself for the shock of her life, "... Kissed...? A-apart from that one time you told me about!"

"Yeah...maybe that'll be a clue?" Amrita thought hard; something was bubbling up in her memory. It was on the tip of her tongue but alas, nothing was coming out.No words were forming,and she submitted that it would be something better left for another time of solo pondering.
"It was fun...we don't do those things anymore." Life was too stressful, remembering that there was a time when everyone goofed around actually made her feel a little sad. "We'll all graduate in one piece." Well, mostly one piece; she recalled the giant hole in Riley, and how it was, as Pepin put it 'glitching'. As Lizzy acknowledged her growth her blush seemed to darken; things had changed, she was stronger now, but she still felt very lost and confused on a great many subjects...such as the one she was being confronted with now.
"D-dating?!" Amrita stammered, reaching up to grab and twist some hair over her shoulder; an old habit that just never died. Oh Jack. Um. Well, dating...were they dating? She had no idea. She assumed so, but...had it been discussed in length? "W-w-well he punched Muka at Scarentines for hugging me and he told me that he thought I was just his to touch so...I don't know...if we're actually dating though..." Probably. They where probably dating. They had gone on a date of sorts well before Scarentines after all. "A-ah, well, um, yes, I have...feelings. For him. Calder told me I was in love once." She wasn't sold on the idea but it made sense, especially the way it was described to her. Fluttering stomach, tight chest, blushy everything...yeah, it sounded about right.
"Um, I think we tried to go on a...well, you know. We don't really hold hands but..." Why did Lizzy go quiet? What was with that pause? THAT WAS A SCARY PAUSE. What was even going---Oh. That wasn't so bad, but...admitting it to Lizzy, who made such a big deal of it last time... Needless to say, her face was nice and dark by this point, and her hair thoroughly wrung.
"Yeah..." It was easy enough to admit, but it still felt awkward; Lizzy was like her Mother, and was it always this awkward to tell things to your mother? Hm. "S-so I don't know how far that is but um...I also sleep with him? A lot?"

His to touch.
Feelings.
In love.
Yeah...
Sleep with him. A lot.
Sadly, those were the only words she picked up, and her mouth opened wider and wider as her hand started to move in the direction of the eyephone she had placed on the bedside table. She needed help. She was going to freak out, and she knew only of one person who would be able to stop her from freaking out because he was terrible at saying nice things unless he wanted something, or he was being romantic or flirty.
Once the eyephone was grabbed, she held up one hand towards Amrita in a "WAIT HERE" motion before running into the bathroom and locking herself in. She then dialed for Mac. Once he picked up, he would hear panicked, hushed squeaking from her.
"MAC OUR DAUGHTER SLEPT WITH CHRISTOF. A LOT. AND HE SAID THAT SHE WAS HIS TO TOUCH. ONLY. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN BUT SHE SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT DATING WHAT SHOULD I DO PLEASE PLEASE ME I LOVE YOU."

"...L-lizzy...?" Completely unaware that she was saying all the wrong things, the Vetala merely looked on with pure confusion as Lizzy took her leave for...the bathroom? With her phone? Was it common to use a phone in the bathroom? Well, okay. She waited patiently like a good ghoul, trying to figure out the world.
At that moment, Mac was sitting at his desk with his feet propped up, ankles crossed, and reading a newspaper out of boredom. His nice greeting was lost in the flow of panic, and his immediate response was to hold the phone away from his ear and go back to reading. She'd finish eventually and besides, he'd already gotten the gist after 'daughter' and 'slept with Christof'.
He really needed to meet this Christof, and maybe smack him for doing things to a ghoul who was stupidly honest to Lizzy. That'd learn him.
"I love you too~" As the words left his mouth, he paused and looked up thoughtfully. "Wait, are you in the bathroom again?" It seemed to be her escape-room, after all. "You know that's creepy, right? Almost as creepy as adopting your friends, which you should stop doing by the way." Hopefully she'd understand that he didn't mean good-creepy, either. "As for whats-her-halfface -and I'm assuming it's her- I don't know what she means and I really, really don't care. But I'd keep in mind that you, my love, 'slept' with me a lot in the beginning, too." He cleared his throat, he started to ruffle the papers. "Oh jack, Lizzy, you're cutting out I'll talk to you later okay love you bye."
And then he hung up on her, and went back to reading his paper.

Lizzy knew that Mac would be a great daddy. An awesome daddy.
She barely had time to reply before she was cut off, and she stood there, mouth open like she was going to say something. After a moment, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself, and then stepped out of the bathroom before retaking her seat beside Amrita; Mac made sense. Amrita was too innocent. There was no way 'slept with' meant more than 'slept with'.
"Sorry, uh, so... You said that you're not... Dating?" She asked, trying not to sound too scandalized, "Why not?"

"Are you okay?" That was at least the second time that she had disappeared into the bathroom; before the whole seeds thing, she'd never seen Lizzy do that before. Was something wrong?! There had to be.
Yet, the ghoul was playing it like nothing had happened. Weird.
"Uhh...It...never came up, I guess?" When they talked, it wasn't about dating...but maybe she should make a point of asking him."Is that bad?"

"Yes, perfectly fine!" She smiled, her voice coming out a pitch higher than intended as she nodded a little too eagerly, clasping Amrita's hands in her own, "Oh, uh, well... Bad... Uh, I guess...? If you like someone, and that someone likes you back and even said something like 'you are only mine to touch', isn't it normal to be dating? Dating is like... Making it official! If not, he has no right to claim that you are only his!"

Somehow, Amrita was not only unconvinced, but highly suspicious of her squeaking friend. She scrutinized her Demoness Mama-friend, and then sighed to look down, picking at some fabric on her lap. "I don't know...is it?" Was it normal to be dating, if someone says that to you? She had no idea, and Lizzy was silly for asking her. "Does it have to be official? I...I mean, everything is okay the way it is..." At least to her it was. It was like...a mutual understanding! Amrita was a pretty trusting person, and she always just assumed that if he took such great - and violent - lengths to make sure that she was his, then he'd return the favour so to speak, and make sure that he was only hers. It made sense in her head.
Though...there was Riley. That made her very uncomfortable...
"Um. Ah. H-how's...Mac? Everything okay?" She hadn't seen the Reaper around for a while (with the exception of the seeds thing), not that she minded; he kind of very scared her.

"It is," Since Amrita did not have an opinion, Lizzy decided to share hers with her, and really, she was hoping that Amrita would adopt it, "At least find a suitable time to talk to him about it..."
The mention of Mac caused her to pause, and she looked sheepish for a moment, "Good. He's been lovely." She had a feeling that they should have some sort of a serious talk, especially after the whole Seeds thing, but she was also practicing a little something called procrastination.

"Th-that's good..." Amrita was twisting her hands together by then, unsure of what else to do or say. The tablet had to go to Riley, but...she didn't want to leave yet. She hadn't seen Lizzy in a while, and it seemed wrong to end it like this. HMMMM what to say, what to say, what to sa---Oh!
"Um. What sort of things do couples do?" Lizzy knew all the things, and she wanted to know all the things too.

"Uh," She paused for a moment, wondering how to answer that; Amrita would probably take whatever she was about to say as 'okay to do with Christof', and Lizzy wasn't sure she wanted that, "They go out on dates?" Not that Mac and her had gone on many, but they had gone on dates before!
"Also... Hugging cuddling kissing, I guess?" Her cheeks had started to go pink, "B-but only when you're comfortable with that!"

"That's all?" Amrita sounded skeptical again, stopping her fidgeting entirely to lean over, elbow on her knee and chin in her hand. Dates, Hugging, cuddling, kissing... "That's all there is to it? We already do all that." Which would explain the Death Trials with her wearing a suspiciously Christof shaped shirt. The ghoul looked thoughtful, her grey eyes drifting away from the Demoness to stare at an invisible point across the room, trying to sort something out for herself.

And then Lizzy passed out.
