"Oh.. I hear her too. And sometimes Shun upstairs." Oh the life of Mot, his room surrounded by happy couples making love.
"Old building, you know..." He gave a tired sigh, some life seeming to die behind his intense, terra cotta gaze.

Mot said he heard Shun…
Hel’s face went blank….then it twisted into a grimace. “Awwwwwww Jack!!” She whined and groaned. “I did not want to imagine THAT!” She brought her hands up to her hand, grasping it. “Is he that loud?” The ghoul then shuddered. “UGH NO! Do not answer that! No…no…DO ANSWER IT I AM MORBIDLY CURIOUS!”

"N-not so much Shun.. but..."
Mot groaned and mimiced Hel's actions.
He did not need to have that in his head. His "little sister" was not to be invisioned in such a way.
"Ah.. now we are both uncomfortable. S-so how about this weather? Good rocks?"

Oh Jack.
Hel couldn’t help but shake off the subject with a laugh though, and rolled her shoulders before she skipped another stone. “I do not know the meaning of the word!” She grinned cheekily at him. Really, it was Hel who made others uncomfortable, not the other way around! “Decent weather I suppose!” She commented, and then snorted. “Ya, good rocks.” She trailed off for a moment, her brows furrowing.
“Neh, Mot? You are in the same boat as me…you are just an exam short of graduating, right?” She looked back at him. “…What is keeping you here?”

"Aha.. of course you don't." Mot laughed dryly, sliding his hands inside his poncho. He now stood, looking like a living blanket with legs.
Her query was met with silence for a long moment, his gaze looking out over the water. "Um.. I hesitate to say. I suppose there is nothing to do but make the leap from Student to Adult now. What holds me back is my lack of experience."
The reaper strolled closer to the water, poncho fluttering lightly with each movement of his arms hidden within. "The only way to gain that experience is to make the leap. But I just wish I could have just a little more cushioning in the way of preparation, you know?"

As Mot thought in silence, Hel paused, and looked back at the cowboil. Part of her was wondering if Gene was holding him here…not intentionally or anything, but maybe he wanted to linger just to be with her. The ghoul hummed, and looked back over the water along side him. “…Nah, I understand what you are saying.” Hel rested her hands on her hips now. She puffed out her cheeks, and then released her breath. “Freya told me I am just a stupid ghoul who is trying to play grown up. Land…a future home…she even told me it would not make me happy…” She trailed off, and then snorted.
“What does she know?” Hel tried playing that off like maybe her stupid sister couldn’t be right. “…But…” Hel’s voice lost that mocking edge. “…I gotta start somewhere, yanno? So that I can make that leap.”

"Well, we won't know until we try." Mot replied softly, "Freya has no right to judge your dreams or decisions. Right?" He smiled, giving Hel a genuine one for once that day.
"Playing grown up or not, isn't it something you want to accomplish?"

Hel startled a bit, but she looked over at Mot grinning. “YA! Exactly! Well, she can judge all she wants, I am still going to do it!” The ghoul nodded her head as well. “Ya. It is something I want to accomplish.” She looked back out over the water.
“…Neh…Mot? Do you think…” She trailed off. “…Holding off graduating…because you are waiting on someone…do you think that is…stupid?”

Mot grinned a bit at Hel's exuberance. Yeah, she was never one to let others sway her so much. Freya had little power over the ambition of Hel, he felt.
"Stupid? Well... think of it this way. Would you hold back your potential in favour of waiting on another?" He looked over to the dark skinned reaper with a ponderous expression.
"Ultimately its up to you.. I can't say it is stupid.. but it doesn't seem wise either."

“…Hm…” Hel made that soft sound, and her brows furrowed as she stared out over the water. It didn’t seem wise. That was what she was afraid of.
“…So…you would…not wait on Gene…then?”

"No." Mot replied easily. "I doubt she would want me to. And besides, it is not as if she can not visit me, or I her."
"Hel... are you having some hesitation to leave? Are you hesitant to leave someone behind?"

In that moment, Hel felt like she’d been backhanded, and her body jolted as whipped her head around to stare at Mot, her red eyes wide.
He said that with such ease and confidence, and in that moment she couldn’t help but feel an ache in her chest to be that resolved and unworried about the matter. How bad she wanted to feel like he did. As he questioned her, she felt like she’d been slapped again, and immediately Hel turned her head in the opposite direction, her eyes lidding as she stared off. Her arms crossed, and she was silent for a long moment. “…Pretty stupid, ya?” She muttered.

Odd.
Very... odd.
Mot was not accustomed to Hel being so unsure. Without confidence in what she was doing, or not doing. "Well... surprising, is more like it. Normally I see you simply going wherever it is your heart or hot head takes you."
"I bet I don't want to know... but who exactly is it your uncertainty won't allow you to part from?"

“Wish I did not have a heart.” Hel muttered, a bit more quiet, and brought her head back around to glance at Mot before she stared back out at the water. Her lips pulled into a bit of a smile before it faded. Come on, Mot. She wanted to say. Wasn’t it obvious? Wasn’t it obvious who she got uncertain about?
“Mac.” She sighed.

Mot witheld the urge to vomit violently. But only just barely.
"R-right.." Be nice. Mac was dear to Hel's heart. No matter how much he loathed the the reaper for all he'd done... he had to hold back.
"Well.. he's a big boy, he can handle it. Why is it that you can not? Are you afraid?"
