With Mitsu still asleep in his arms, Shun walked into the room, raising an eyebrow as he looked around. Blocks and pits... It seemed they had a bit of a puzzle on their hands here. Furrowing his brow, he looked down at the sleeping girl with softened eyes. Shaking his head, he carefully shook her to try get her to wake up.
"Wake up Mitsu," he ushered quietly.

Hel wasn’t sure what to expect once more, but she was certainly more cautious, especially after the encounter with those false reapers and because of the fact that this was their final room.
The reaper sighed. It was a bit cramped in here, and to make things also not pleasant, there was no room to fly. Ah well…The reaper relaxed a bit, and stared straight ahead at the block. Hmm…it looked like she might be able to push that…
Hel sighed again.

Once inside Mitsu finally started to stir in Shun's arms from his gentle shaking. She made a small grumbling noise as she came to, pulling Mot's hat away from her face. Where was she? The first thing she saw was Shun and for a moment there was relief. She must have fallen to sleep while they were doing homework. So the whole field trip had been a dream...and sadly the kiss was too.
Then Mitsu took in their surroundings, this was most definitely not Shun's room. It was small and cramped and.....huff puff it wasn't a dream. So all the fighting, the rooms, the...battle, that had all been real. At least so had the kiss. Mitsu was at least thankful for that though it made her blush realizing it. It made her blush all the more when she realized Shun was carrying her.
"A...are we in the next room?" She asked softly wiggling a bit so that Shun knew she wanted down. It was comfortable but embarrassing at the same time. While she would have very much liked to stay in the reaper's arms it wasn't practical.

Riyo's step was silent as she moved into the next room, a cringe when she realized how cramped it was. Great. ******** great. Why couldn't this be another room like the last one? Where they had room to stand apart?
... No matter. It would be stupid to make up frivolous excuses for reasons not to talk to Hel. She would just have to talk in a very low voice.
There was a nervous fidget as her fingers seemed to want to reach out and touch the ghoul in front of her. Jack dammit. She kicked people out on the streets and told other demons to shove it. Why was this so hard?
Because it dealt with her own feelings too...
The things she shoved into the little crevices of her brain in hopes that they would get buried under the other things.
An unusually gentle hand reached out to take Hel's, the feeling of willingly touching another person after a long time made her skin crawl. "I need to talk to you." Her words were clear, but her tone was unlike the usually cold Riyo. "Just... Humor me for a second." She gestured with her head towards the farthest corner (which... really wasn't that far).

The now jacket clad reaper moved into the next room, abruptly stopping as he took a step inside. Oh no.. it just had to be cramped. The point in which their team was the most at odds.
There was a block in the way of their progress. It was too big for Mot to push on his own.
With an agitated huff, Mot moved towards it. "Shun, may I have your help?" He gestured toward the block.

The ghoul gave a small start as someone gently grasped her hand, and her head whipped around to see who had done so. For a moment, a brief look of surprise and maybe even disbelief had Hel widening her eyes, the look soon passed, only to be replaced by a bit of a resigned curiosity. Why…was Riyo doing a 180 all of a sudden…? Only one way to find out…?
Hel gave a nod of her head, and made the small trip towards the tight corner.

Nodding quietly to Mitsu, Shun carefully let her down once she started to squirm a bit. He was a bit unsure what was with the blushing but he didn't ask about it. Once she was down, he looked around the room a little more. This might be a little tricky...
Catching sight of Hel and Riyo speaking to one another, his eyes narrowed some. It didn't look like the feline had anything malicious in mind, but he was staying vigilant anyway. He really hoped she wouldn't start up some s**t while they had stuff to do.
His attention didn't stay on them for long as Mot called to him for help. Raising an eyebrow, he walked over towards the block. He looked the thing over briefly before placing his shoulder against it to help the cowboy move the thing. Damn this thing was heavy.
"We'll probably need at least two people per each of these things to move them," he said with a frown. Though, he glanced over at the wolf girl briefly. She was a monster. Monsters were known for their strengths... much more so than reapers and demons.

Mitsu's eyes drifted toward Hel and Riyo shortly as they moved off to the side. Secretly she feared another fight was going to break out but their faces didn't seem to indicate as such. Trying not to linger and stare Mitsu followed behind Shun as he moved toward Mot and the block.
Both reapers were having at trying to move the block and Mitsu had to wonder...if she would be much help. "Can I help?"

The look Hel gave her made Riyo cringe on the inside. Yeah. Yeah, she kinda figured that might happen. What the Hell was old heartless Riyo doing comforting somebody?
As they made it to the small corner, Riyo's face seemed to contort with thoughts of the right words to say, much as it had done the first time they'd met at the well when Hel had managed to dumbfound her. It was a talent only the valkyrie possessed so far.
Eventually the demon's eyes seemed to calm, and a sad smile overtook her lips. By no means was it mocking, but it resembled the point of sadness that one might have to laugh just to keep their body from falling apart. "You shouldn't go numb to it, you know." The voice that came fourth was a soft one. "Those words. You shouldn't try to ignore how much they hurt you. How deep they cut."
For a moment, Riyo's red orbs glanced away, and then down at Hel's hands. "And... You can't tell me they didn't, either. I could practically hear shattering glass when he said that to you.."
"I won't tell you that they're just words." Her eyes slowly glanced back up to Hel's face, hoping to see something there instead of that blank expression. It was odd, but seeing Hel blank was like looking at a broken doll in the alley or an abandoned playground. It just... It wasn't right. "Words... Are perhaps the most painful weapon, when wielded by the right person, but... Don't go numb to it. Let it hurt, and let it heal. It's okay... To hurt..."
The words she managed to find were words that, she realized, she had wished someone had told her a long time ago. She had wanted someone to tell her it was okay to cry. It was okay to feel terrible over how badly that someone had cut her. But instead, she was expected to suck it up and bury it. To continue on without a hitch.
It never had healed, and going numb to it had made things... So much worse. "By no means, Hel, are you disgusting. You're a lot of things... But I don't think disgusting fits at all."

Hel briefly wondered if she was walking into a set up, though she dismissed the thought, as Riyo’s current behavior was rather…out of character. But maybe that was a reason to be concerned? Hmmm.
Her brows burrowed when the cat demoness gave her a sad, non-mocking smile, and as she started to speak, Hel’s lips parted to try and protest, but the words died on her lips as she stayed quiet and just listened. The more she listened though, the more her brows furrowed, and even her lips started to twist. It was…oddly uncomfortable how Riyo seemed to be hitting all the nails on the head. Hel was pretty sure she wasn’t being too obvious about how she was feeling…she thought it’d just be best to suck it up and keep a straight face until after this trip was over, and everyone would just hopefully leave her be until then. Every. Single. Word. Riyo uttered though rang true, and by the end of it, Hel released a deep breath she didn’t realize she was holding, and a frown was tugging at her lips.
The reaper was quiet for a moment longer before looking up at the taller ghoul, and surprisingly, gave her hand a squeeze. You know…it did feel…like a relief to hear this. “…I promise…” Hel started quietly, “…I’ll let it hurt. But not now. There’s no place for that right now, not here, not when I need to make sure you all get out of this house and back to the Academy.” She paused. “…After, when we get back…I promise then.” She held onto Riyo’s hand still and was silent for a moment longer, staring down at her feet, before suddenly snapping her head up to stare at the cat demoness. “…You’re a good being, Riyo. Despite how to try to convince many otherwise. I’m glad you’re my friend.” She gave her a tentative grin then, and squeezed her hand before releasing it.
“We’re getting milkshakes after this still…so…let’s get out of here, yes?”

And through Hel's relief, through seeing that visible expression of how she was feeling on the inside, Riyo too felt a weight lift off of her shoulders. As if helping the valkyrie with her problem vicariously patched up hers if only for a short time.
As the ghoul squeezed her hand, she looked down at the simple yet all the same beautiful gesture. Yes. Maybe for once Riyo might be able to sleep a little better at night. "You do what you have to Hel."
It was the first time... Somebody had told her they were glad to have her as a friend.
"Yeah, Milkshakes. Whatever." Riyo repeated as she usually did, returning her hands to her pockets and letting the stoic expression reclaim it's rightful place. Now that the fiasco was over, it was time to...
Get them the Hel out of there.

Mot eyed Mitsu, looking her up and down. He had nothing to say as far as strength went. Mot was about as strong as a blade of grass in the breeze. Perhaps that is a bit exaggerated...
"Sure... um.." Mot looked to Shun. Do what? "You can help us if you'd like." He learned from last time not the shoo the ghoul away.
Mot nodded, getting ready to the push the block. "Alright.. on three?" The reaper waited for Shun and Mitsu to get ready.
"One.. Two.. Three." Mot put all of his (feeble) strength into pushing the block out of the way.

Glancing over at Mitsu as she offered to help, Shun tried to think of how they might be able to use her best. "You're stronger in your true form yes? Do you think you can push one of these on your own?" he asked her. Though, once Mot got into position and was ready, he took in a breath. The Reaper soon let out a grunt on three, shoving the thing with all his might. Even with the cowboy's help, this was not easy. In fact, it was still fairly straining. Eventually, though, the two managed to get the first block into one of the pits.

There was a definite 'click' that could be heard from the pit, but, other then that? Nothing. The block didn't re-appear.
