She smiled at Mot's words; she was here to cheer him up, but somehow, he ended up reassuring her about things as well.
"I'm sure she'll try to feed you something heavy again," She giggled, recalling the last time Mot was over at her place, and how his hat had gone missing, "Although she's been really busy lately - from what she told me over the phone - so we're using the time that she's not home to do the investigations! It will all be carried out in secret."

Mot had to sigh at the thought of eating. "Oh dear." He replied politely, rubbing his neck. He had been getting better, but since breaking up with Hel, he'd not eaten a bite of anything. His appetite was gone. Worse than it had been before. He didn't even crave coffee like he used to, even though there was no one there to tell him not to drink it anymore. He just didn't want anything at all.
Maybe Rosenthal would be there to eat his scraps? Wishful thinking.
He lifted his head as she continued. It seemed they wouldn't have to worry about getting caught snooping. That was a relief. "Top secret." He confirmed with a small nod.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to force you to eat anything," Lizzy giggled, taking Mot's hand and lightly swinging it between them, "Just eat what you think you can handle!"
She wanted to cheer him up. She really wanted to cheer him up.
"Oh, and pack lightly!" She nodded, "We'll only be staying for a night, since we'll need to leave before the weekend is over... Let's take this chance to freshen up, alright?" Getting away from the school might be a good thing for him right now.

Mot nodded softly. He more than likely would not eat a crumb. Despite his respect for Lizzy's mum, he didn't have it in him lately to so much as look at food.
"Right." He tended to pack light anyway, but it was good to know regardless. So, a short vacation. Kind of. Not really. "Detective work, huh? Retracing your dad's footsteps. Nervous?"

"To be honest?" She smiled sheepishly, "A lot nervous... I don't really remember father, after all... What if he wasn't the man mother made him out to be?" She sighed, looking down before taking a deep breath, and smiling, "I'm determined to do this though! And I'm glad that you'll be there to help."

Sometimes Mot thought to himself he never wanted to know his father. He always tried to think better of it after, but hearing Lizzy reaffirmed it. "Maybe she's making him out to be a hero for both your sakes. Or maybe it's all true and he really was a hero." He smiled ever softly and patted her shoulder.
"I'm always here to help."

She smiled, appreciating Mot trying to make her feel better despite how he must be feeling right now.
"We'll find out soon, won't we?" She nodded, offering him a grin, "Maybe after, we can go ride a full sized epony again, or just go for eye scream, or visit the arcade... Oh! I found professor QB, by the way!"

"Really? I'd love to ride a full size Epony again.." He said with a somewhat livelier smile, that did not yet reach his sad eyes. It was hard to let go, even with Lizzy here to cheer him up.
"Professor QB? How did that go, then?" He hadn't herd much of anything since she last spoke of him.

]"I visited a DETH medical facility, and there was a human there... Working to help Halloween creatures. She could see us too, like the hunters, but she was really friendly and nice..." She trailed off, pausing for a bit, "It really was a change from the usual... Humans we encounter, although Professor QB said that hunters... Are no longer really human, because they're using our powers when they use a weapon."

"No longer human? So then.. I wonder just what a Hunter is. A hybrid? Or.." He leaned back in his chair, still slouched. His fingers idly fidgeted with the fabric of his shirt in thought. "Do the hunters know? I guess they would..." Just how dead set in their goals were they to allow their bodies to be mutated so?
"They're essentially mutants."

"I'm not quite sure what they are," She admitted with a sheepish look, "They don't look very mutated to me... I mean, they look like reapers, in a way? And they say that reapers resemble humans? But maybe what's messed up is inside of them... Hunters not being human anymore would explain why they're not fragile, and easily hurt or killed like real humans."
She shrugged, frowning, "I doubt knowing or not knowing would make much of a difference..."

"There's a lot we don't know about Hunters." He replied with a frown. "Things were so much simpler when I didn't know they existed." And according the the Trance, they were around before his time too. "Just how long have Hunters been in the picture? And why is it they were kept so secret for so long?"
He sighed.
"It's pointless to wonder about it right now." It wasn't as if they had a way to find out. Even then, would it do them any good?

"According to trance from the Horseman Isle of Death, this 'war' had been going on for a long, long time... It probably wasn't even our war to start with," She frowned, sighing, "The ones who wanted to destroy the human word - according to the trance - were the horsemen... I guess that's why the hunters targeted their Island, and destroyed it."
She shook her head, "That underground cave we saw in the recent trance though... I wonder if it's still there," She couldn't help feeling curious about that, "Maybe... If we ask a professor, they'll be able to tell us."

"If they choose to tell us." Mot responded quietly. "We may have the advantage of knowing about it, but that doesn't mean they'll be any less tight lipped." It didn't mean they couldn't try, but to what purpose did they want this knowledge?
"It was certainly strange seeing them as students though."

"Well... We won't know till we try!" She nodded, forcing a smile, her heart heavy; what if trying only led to the same end? She had tried really hard not to think about that, but it was near impossible; the professors were a constant reminder of what she had seen in the trance.
"It was," She agreed, chuckling sheepishly, "And the student I was following... He kept using the words 'chill', 'bro', and 'sister'..." Odd.
