She didn't answer when he spoke, she wasn't sure how she felt on the bogeymen having Riley. They were a suspicious bunch, and still hadn't gained her trust. But having heard what Riley had become before she had turned to stone..maybe it was better they took her. She hadn't been there, in the fight with Riley, but she had been there when Red had died. If Riley was anything like that, then it was probably best her remains were with the authorities right now. She only hoped, that they would respect what was left of her.
Snapping out of her own thoughts at the mention of her name, Mei's gaze fixated on Bul again.
Raising her hand, she placed it upon his shoulder as the boil kissed, her other hand finding his cheek when he began to cry. "Bul.." She started, gently turning his head so she could see his face again. Shaking her own head in response to his words. Moving forward, she pressing her lips to his before withdrawing a moment after. "Your already perfect in my eye's. There's nothing weak about you. Sure we have weak moments, but your already strong. We've come a long way since when we first came to amityville. It may seem like we keep losing, but we're slowly getting better, every day. We'll make it through this. I promise."

Just weeks ago Bul had been in Mei's position and even then he had all of the courage in the world. There had to be a way to get it back somehow but reliving the experience of false weaponization was not on his list to-do.
But Mei had really said it all. Bul was quiet after her kiss and tried to fight back crying like a snot. They were hobs! Well Mei was close enough to one. Together they made a vicious force that they had yet to really take advantage of. Christmas was a different story, that didn't count. Then again, at Xmas they were fighting what they would soon learn to be one of the most dangerous forces known to Halloween kind- even more so than the hunters.
Bul was silent again for a while but eventually regained control of his limbs. As he sat up his arm had shifted to a point where he was resting his hand on her shoulder and part of her back. "T-thank you Mei for coming to tell me. I'm... sorry that freaked out..." he sighed. "I don't... I don't remember if I ever told you about the nightmares I was having about.. about Riley. About what I was sure was going to happen to her. I thought they were all nothing after the trials but.." he sighed heavily. "I guess.. ugh ******** Jack I hope this wasn't manifested from that..." he groaned in guilt. If he had any responsibility for her death he would just-
he'd be so sad man. So unhealthily sad. Not that he wasn't now or anything.

Mei offered her assistance when Bul began to sit up, keeping him upright with one of her hands resting on his back. Shaking her head lightly, she offered a sincere smile. "Bul, you don't have to apologize for that." If she had just been told a close friend of hers had died--no. she didn't even want to think about anymore deaths.
When he spoke of his dreams, she found it hard not to show her shock. He had been having nightmares? Why hadn't he said anything? Jack, she wish she had known, and have been able to do something, anything. "I'm sorry..I didn't know about your nightmares.." She really was at a loss for words now. What could she say?
She would have filled him in on the rest of the events, but now..probably wasn't the best time for it. She knew how she felt with everything thrown at her all at once, and she wasn't about to do the same to him. "Come on. I'll help you up. The floor can't be that comfortable."

Bul was gracious of her aid and managed to get to his feet slowly but surely. Before he'd find a place to sit though he carefully wrapped his arms around Mei. "Sharing them seemed counterproductive," he began. "I was sure that they were just worried manifestations and well.."
He paused and shuddered briefly.
"You were in them too," he began. It was hard not to convey these thoughts selfishly as that was his next worry when explaining. "You told me that you hated me for what happened to Riley. In the dreams I mean.." he sighed then loosened his hold around the doll. "I let you down in my subconscious. That's why.. I worry that I don't meet your expectations sometimes. You're so much to me, you're strong and you're talented especially at healing and taking care of people." Bul drifted a little before trying to divert his moping. "I've been... pretty headstrong lately about what I want to do after Amityville. I thought when I came here I would be into pro-bruteball but now I'm thinking of things that just-"
He groaned and ran a hand up through his hair as he made his way back to the bedside again. "Nothing I think of is really all that righteous though. Nothing that would save all of Halloween or something on a dime. Jack help anyone planning to become a teacher here," he let out a huff of air.

Mei nodded, understanding his reasons for not bringing them up until now. "But still..if you feel like you need to talk to someone about anything, you know I'm here for you..okay?" She smiled, only to pause when he mentioned her involvement in the dreams. Her jaw nearly dropped open as he spoke. Was he worried that she hated him for what happened? How would it even be his fault? If anyone was to blame, it was the damned hunters. They started this whole mess.
"Bul, that was just a dream. How could I hate you for something that you are not responsible for?" Her shoulders sunk a little, her expression softening more as she reached out to place a hand over his. "You've always done more for me then I could ask. You surpass all expectations, and you have always been there for me. Don't feel bad because you had dreams like being a pro-bruteball player. Everyone who first came to amityville had different goals then there current ones, myself included. Its not like we had expected any of this to happen."
Unable to help herself, she snickered over the mention of those seeking to become teachers over time. She herself, would do anything but take that option.

Gazing up at the textured ceiling of his dorm, Bul relaxed back on his bed with arms crossed behind his head. His nose and cheeks were a little red still from the previous waterworks but for the most part he'd returned to a dry state.
"You never know when your subconscious is just.. yanno, trying to tell you there's something important that you need to do..." Bul sighed heavily and turned to look at his still worn-out ghoulfriend.
"Will you stay at my dorm tonight Mei?" he asked suddenly, his tail swooshing on the floor. "You can use my shower if you need I mean.. I just cleaned it." Jack knows I haven't used it enough to get it gross. he thought with pursed lips.

Claiming a seat on the end of his bed again, Mei glanced over at Bul, rubbing at her eye tiredly. He was calmer now, but she couldn't say that he was in any better mood than before. Not that she would expect him to just switch off his emotions.
Dropping her hand back on to her lap, she nodded in response. She had her subconscious cause herself to become a little paranoid more than once, but never before had she really acted on any of it. But with everything happening as of late, it seemed more appropriate too act on those feelings. Or at least be a little more concerned about them..especially if it was anything like what Bul had been experiencing.
Still thinking to herself, Mei almost missed his last question. Shifting her gaze to Bul, she thought it over a moment. She hadn't been back to her dorm yet, nor did she have a clean change of clothes at the moment--the again, she doubted Bul would mind if she pinched one of his shirts for the night. Then there was the minipet dilemma. She had yet to see them yet as well..but would one night make much of a difference. Besides, Fell was supposedly looking after them, Finally she smiled and nodded to Bul. "Alright."

Bul nodded slowly then realized in an awkward silence that his ghoulfriend had actually just agreed to stay the night in his room. Like a brick hit him in the head, the boil fumbled a little as he reached around in the corner between his bed and the wall and started pulling out a nice, fuzzy, warm fleece blanket and holding it up with a gentle smile. "I can make you a nice pallete or something or you can have my bed and I'll just sleep under my heat lamp or something-" the boil glanced at the clock on his desk. It wasn't all that late yet but she looked exhausted still.
"You tell me, I can pop something on the skelevision to sorta ease our minds after all of uhm.. this?" He'd still need to go to the washroom and clean up his face as the sniffles continued to come back after that whole ordeal.

In all truth, Mei was actually relieved that Bul had asked her to stay the night. After the whole clan blowing up, the insanity phoenix and the near capture by the hunters, Mei didn't exactly feel all the comfortable being on her own for the night. Shaking her head, she reached over and took hold of his hand, still sitting in her spot. "I er--actually. Can we just share the bed..?" She paused and flushed, realizing how that must sound. "Uh--I mean, not like that! Just..I'd actually feel better with you close by."

A soft rattle could be heard from Bul's spines when she placed her hand on his. Did she really want to share a bed with him? He was all spiny and pokey and-
"That's fine by me-" Bul nodded quickly, and fought back the little pink blush on his face. "I'd feel better too really-" he laughed nervously but eventually found his cool points again. Wouldn't want to spill those everywhere. "So... so uh-" he started again, then turned around and bent over the side of his bed, the top of his head resting on the floor as he dug under his bed for something.
"Remember the Frightens ooooooooor-" Bul fished around some more then finally popped back up with a movie in each hand. "Pulp Affliction?" Another sniffle escaped the boil's nose.
