It took a while, but the crying ebbed.
Mot pulled away, rubbing his red eyes with a sleeve. He felt empty. Depleted. Still sad, still down, but no longer quite as pent up. He breathed heavily, sniffling once and again. "Thank you, Lizzy. I think I needed that." Maybe now he could go on a little bit longer. Wait a little more for Hel to come back.
He had so many things to tell her. How sorry he was that he didn't have to courage to love her like she needed. That he'd given up coffee just for her. That he now could sleep at night like a normal reaper. That he would hold her until morning, like a good boilfriend should. Greet her with a kiss.
He couldn't wait.
It would be a wonderful reunion.

"You are welcome," She offered him a small smile, since that was all she could afford at the moment; seeing Mot brighten up gave her a little more courage to face the students who were due to return, "Do you have a better idea of... What you need to do now?"

"I do. Kind of." Mot admitted sheepishly. "Admittedly it's minor things but.. it's something." With so many issues completely out of his hands, it was best to focus on what he could do. Lest he get lost and drown in what was beyond his control, Mot held onto his hope that the little things would work out alright.

"Good!" She heaved a sigh of relief, glad that Mot was at least no longer hunched over and radiating sadness; it was getting really hard for her to watch him be like that, "What you think are minor things will make a difference in someone's day, I'm sure... Especially if it's Hel."

Mot smiled back at Lizzy. It was a little weak, but it was there.
"Yeah.." If it's Hel.. she'd be happy. He'd greet her warmly with a big smile when she gets back. A big hug, a kiss, and he'd listen to all she has to say. He'd tell her he'd learned a few new songs on the harmonica. That he hasn't had a coffee in a whole month.
He couldn't wait. He'd make her so happy. Surely.
Mot shook his head, breathing in shakily. "I think I need to do something fun."

"Do you want to go down to the arcade together? The main reason we ever became friends was because of that arcade. Without it, we probably wouldn't have met that day," She smiled fondly at Mot, remembering the first day they met; she had came looking for Mac, but got herself a Mot instead, "Not today though... I have plans for today, but tomorrow evening?"

Mo smiled fondly, remembering that meeting well. The arcade. That did sound like fun. It gave him something to look forward to.
"Yes. I'd like that. Tomorrow then." Mot grinned lightly, leaning over and giving Lizzy another hug. A big, warm hug, despite his bony body. He could amuse himself alone for another night. Maybe play with FooFoo, practice his harmonica some more. Anything to keep his mind off the loneliness and fear.

The hug was easily and eagerly returned, "I look forward to it." She paused, letting the boil go before taking his hands in her own, meeting his eyes, "If you need someone... Anytime... Mac and I are just next door, you know." Yes, she had practically moved into Mac's place now.

Mot seemed to freeze up a moment. Ah.. right next door.. Not only was Mac not someone he'd ever want to talk to about his problems..
Mot smiled nervously. "Yeah.. I think I've hear--- um.. I've noticed you stay there a lot.." He mentioned uncomfortbly.

"Hear...?" She asked, tilting her head to a side with a curious expression, wondering what Mot meant by that; she hadn't been that vocal, right? Although there was that one time she decided to jump on his bed while making happy noises, "What do you mean?" Sensing his discomfort though, she added, "Does... Does me being here make you uncomfortable?"

What does he mean?
Mot started to turn red, but this time not from crying. "Uh-- N-nevermind!" He squeaked, shaking his head. He so did not want to discuss this at all. "No, you never make me uncomfortable." He offered her a smile and a nervous laugh, squeezing her hands before standing up suddenly.
"I don't want to keep you from your plans now."

Lizzy eyed him suspiciously, about to ask another question when he distracted her with the fact that she had plans for the day... And that she was going to be late unless she got going now.
"We'll talk tomorrow then!" She gave him another hug, a quick one, before making her way to the door to see herself out, "Fight on, big brother Mot!" She did a fist pump, and then vanished out the door and down the corridor.
