".....?!" She inhaled a breath that was quite similar to a terrified squeak, startling visibly as Lizzy toppled over. She unwrapped herself from her cuccoon of self, reaching out hesitantly to the prone form of her friend. "L-Lizz...y...?" Amrita had never come across someone who passed out without a battle.
What should she do?!
How should she do it?!
What happened?!
Why?!
SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS! HELP! ABORT! ABORT!
"LIZZZYYYYYYY~" She wailed unhappily, grabbing the demoness' shoulders and shaking her in an outright panic.

Lizzy, meanwhile, was allowing her imagination to run wild while she was passed out, not that letting her imagination do that was helping - in fact, it was probably only making it worse.
"O-oh Amrita," She suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the ghoul in a hug, "You're all grown up Amrita!" Was she... Sobbing? A little? She really did not know how to feel about that still.

The yelp that Amrita let out was completely undignified, and might have reached a pitch that only minipets could hear. If she had a beating heart, it would have stopped the moment Lizzy opened her eyes and grabbed her. She was not expecting that, not at all, and yet again she didn't know what to do or how to handle it.
So she let out a strained whine. eeeeeeeeeeeee~
"W-w-w-what?!" She stammered, too confused and surprised to even flail in her distress. "W-w-why? WHAT'S WRONG? LIZZZYYYYY~" eeeeeeeeeeeeee~

"NOTHING YOU'RE JUST GROWING UP SO FAST," She exclaimed while clinging to Amrita, "AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU." All her feels.

Amrita blinked and attempted to hug back, though she was still thoroughly confused. Lizzy was a baffling creature, and in this was no different. "TH-THANK YOU?!" It was the only thing she could say, or at least think to say. Lizzy was proud of her because she had hugged, cuddled and kissed a boil (though not always at the same time)? Oh dear. That was a weird thing to be proud of, but then again Lizzy was a weird thing too.
"Err...b-but..." Amrita squirmed, pressing her backward hands against Lizzy's shoulders, applying just enough pressure to push out of the hug. "I...I still have some, um. Problems." The ghoul stressed, wiggling a little bit in discomfort. "..Concerns...?" Mmmm no, that wasn't it either. She stared off into space, reflecting on proper word choices, and absently scratched at her abdomen through her shirt.

If she knew that Amrita was taking it all wrong, she would have been more specific about what exactly she was proud about, but since she was blissfully ignorant, she ended up looking sorrowfully at the ghoul.
"Problems? Concerns?" She sniffed, reluctantly letting Amrita go as she sat back, "Such as?"

Well, today was a swell of various topics! Downs, ups, downs again...
"Well..." Amrita fidgeted, sitting back up and trapping her wrists between her knees. "I...don't know what it is but...if a certain someone's in the room, he doesn't see me anymore." One trapped wrist came free, this time to curl her palm against the side of her neck. "Like...during Giftmas, when we were attacked by those Christmastown creatures? I was hurt and he...he walked right past me to get to...her. He didn't even look..." Her gaze dropped and she found herself pouting; months later, despite all the advances they had made as a couple, this still bothered her. It bothered her a lot. She was developing - rather developed - feelings for someone who could apparently pick and choose when to return them, and it was more upsetting to her to realize that it actually upset her.
"And um...sometimes, I think it's not worth the effort in general." Amrita scrunched up her nose, toying with some hair on the back of her neck. All of this was really uncomfortable for her, but it had been everything she had kept to herself for so long. She needed to get it out, or to at least hear herself say it. "Feelings...they're confusing, and stressful, and can hurt really badly...I like it sometimes, sort of, but at the same time I...I really, really don't." Grey eyes drifted down to her lap, staring unhappily at the wrist that was fitted between her knees, clenching and unclenching her hand. "Life was easier when I didn't have them." She knew who her enemy was then, and for the most part how to handle it. "I...don't know what I'm doing, or why I'm doing it, and it's just...too much sometimes."

She listened quietly, feeling almost surprised at first but gradually, that turned to worry and just a little bit of resentment towards Christof for making Amrita feel that way; she had experienced it herself. Not with Mac, of course - and she was really hoping for it to stay that way - but a long time ago, with someone else... It wasn't a pleasant feeling, and even now, that feeling lingered.
"That's why it's important to... Sit down and talk about whether you are dating or not," She had unconsciously started to squeeze Amrita's hands, hoping to bring her some comfort, "Tell him that if he expects you to give him - and only him - your attention, you expect him to do the same for you. And if he can't do it, then I really don't think that he's... Worth your while, Amrita. Trust me when I say that it's better to let go then, or you'll just get hurt more. It... It really hurts to be ignored by someone you like."
She winced before wrapping her arms around the ghoul, one hand moving up to stroke her hair the way her mother used to in order to calm her down while cradling Amrita in her arms, "Feelings are confusing and stressing, I agree, but when you find the right person to share your feelings with, it's worth all the heartache. It's not easy, but a lot of things in life - and unlife - are never easy. If you really feel something towards Christof, confront him about it... Talk to him and find out how he feels about you."

"I guess." Amrita murmured, leaning against the Demoness as her arms went around her. "It's just so hard...just thinking about asking him this stuff makes me dread it." She was nearly whining, but in her defense this was also her first real relationship, as tentative as it was. "Because...he doesn't do it all the time, you know? Besides, I have friends too. Ones that are boils. I'm sure I've accidentally ignored him to look after another friend." This was too confusing, and the more she was talking about it the more she just wanted to quit it entirely. It was great when they were alone, and she liked having him close, the smell of formaldehyde that she occasionally noticed, or having someone to curl up against when she couldn't be alone anymore. "I mean...I'm not gonna punch any of his ghoul friends." She added, recalling poor Muka, who was punched for just hugging her. But when things got complicated she didn't know what to do, or if what she was doing was right or understandable. "Just...I don't get it. Where's the line between friends and...not?" The ghoul sighed, nuzzling against her friend, shifting to fit a little easier into the hug.
"Unlife on it's own is hard enough...With all this added in it's just like..." She trailed off, closing her eyes and just enjoying the hair pats she was receiving. It made her feel better, just like the head pats and other hair pettings she had received previously. "I don't know how you do it, Lizzy. Put up with school and Hunters and Seeds and friends and then...relationships."

"It's something you have to talk to him about though," She continued stroking Amrita's hair, since that seemed to be somewhat helping, "Well... I'm sure I've done similar things to Mac before. Like accidentally ignoring him and paying attention to someone else, but I don't... Have someone - a boil, anyway - I pay special attention to? And I don't think he pays special attention to another ghoul either..."
The 'line between friends and not' question was familiar, since someone else had asked her the same question before; she still wasn't sure about the answer though, "Uh... I... I don't kiss friends? Or go on dates with them...? And I don't feel all giggly and nervous and happy and blushy around friends..." She cleared her throat, a blush creeping up her cheeks, "Well... It takes two hands to clap in a relationship, right? It doesn't get any easier once you start dating but... It's nice to know that you know how each other feels. Besides, Mac puts up with me. A lot. He's pretty amazing." Cue the guilt from hiding things from him.

"...Two hands to clap?" Amrita gave her a very curious, very confused look. "What does that mean?" There was a game she played as a child, it was a clapping sort of game, so was that...bad? Or worse; a relationship?! Gaaaah~
"I'll talk to him, but...I think it'd just be easier to ask someone to adjust my brain instead." The Vetala pouted, still very much on the whole what-would-be-easier thing. "Did you and Mac have a talk about your feelings and where that line is?" And while she was on the subject, the furrowed her brows a little more, dwelling on something else. "So wait, if dating, kissing, cuddling and sleeping together are the only things that couples do, why did we have a class on mold?" Well, it was Sex-Ed, but...yeah, she had nothin.
But srsly. Why, Lizzy?

"Oh! It's just a saying! Sort of... You can't make a relationship work if only one person is working hard to keep it afloat! Like how two hands are required to make a clapping sound, and if only one hand is moving, no matter how hard or fast it is moving, no clapping sound is made," She nodded, hoping that it explained things well enough; she wished she was experienced enough to be a relationship guru, but she really wasn't... And quoting things from dramas she had seen might not be the best idea.
"Uh... No, not really, but he's usually vocal enough about it whenever he's upset... We did have a talk though, about entering a relationship! It didn't just happen. We sort of had to talk to confirm it..." That was how she remembered it anyway, coupled with a lot of QQ, mostly from her. Amrita's question caused her to blush, and she was flailing internally despite her sudden poker face.
"Mold is... Uh, when you... Uh, a type of Fear infection," She answered, "From two people mixing their Fear together when they..." Her voice lowered, "Have, uh, sexual intercourse." Her poker face was gone now, and she looked absolutely embarrassed; this was the talk every mother did not want with their daughter. Ever. She was sue of this, "B-But it's not a must! I like to think that getting that intimate should only be for when you fully trust your partner..."
Or you know, after marriage. 8|

Amrita listened to poor embarrassed Lizzy, her brow furrowing in thought. Augh, this was too much! Too much. "Sounds dumb anyway." The ghoul shrugged off the entire subject, happy to be rid of it. No more relationship talk, or promises to ask what was going on, or about sex; she was done with that stuff, it was making her head hurt with it's nonsense.
"Can you make me a new dress, Lizzy?" Her grey eye was turned up towards the older ghoul, both in age and general knowledge. "I don't think I have anything Lizzy made recently...b-but uhh, you know, if you ever have time..." As much as she always complained and whined and pouted about it, she really did like it when Lizzy made clothes for her or made her go shopping, even though that was more stressful than standing there for measurements! Oh...shopping. The Maul.
"OH! D-did I ever tell you that I got a job?" It'd been a while. A long while, and her brain wasn't the most amazing brain out there either.

Except it's really, actually, very nice if done right and with the right person.
The change in topic was welcomed by Lizzy, and she found herself nodding almost immediately, "Of course! It's been a while since I made anything, really," She looked almost embarrassed about that, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed in herself; despite everything, she really should have set side time to practice, practice, practice, "But I would love to make you a new dress. Or two~ Do you have anything in mind?" It was about time Amrita took charge of her own wardrobe anyway... Ahhh, growing up so fast.
"A job?" It should be evident from the tone of her voice, and the surprised look on her face, that her answer to Amrita's question was a 'no'.

Hmm...did she have anything in mind? The ghoul pondered the question, looking down at the simple tank top and pants she was currently wearing. "Mmm...M-maybe...something less formal? Uhm...Something I could wear every day, and can move it? I...honestly didn't think past a-asking you and um, I've always trusted your judgement so..." Panic was rising in her throat, and she worked hard to push it back down; it was okay that she didn't know what she wanted, right? It had to have been okay! She wasn't the only one who failed at fashion.
"Oh yes! At the maul!" The ghoul sat up, wriggling out of Lizzy's grasp to clasp her backward hands in front of her in pure excitement. "The pet store! Just part time, 'cause I don't have any money right now...But I love it! I get to play with all the baby minis!" Amrita was puffing up in pride; clearly, she was queen of the world for working part-time at a maul pet store. Clearly. "And the adult ones, too! There's this corrividus that likes sitting on my shoulder the whole shift, and all the little scarelings come in to play with the little Scareons and---" Eeeeeeeee minipets!
