The ghoul shrugged a bit. “…Well…you seem to like it and…”
Hel raised a brow back at Mot as he paused and asked that. The neutral expression the ghoul had been sporting shifted into a disgruntled one. She…she wasn’t even thinking about that, and yet she offered to give it to him and he asked that? Sore subject was sore. “So what if I am?” Hel quipped. She wasn’t. She just wanted to give it to him, but now she was just rubbed the wrong way.

Oops.
Mot hadn't meant to irk the ghoul, and now he seemed a little frightened. "I-I do like it.." He started though paused at her statement.
So.. she was proposing again?
Mot seemed to think a moment. "I'll accept if you promise never to die." Low? Yeah, probably.

Hel just stared at him. Like: are you for real. “Mot.” Hel started, her tone flat. “That is a completely unrealistic and impossible term to ask of someone. I will not make a promise that I can not keep, and I can not believe you would toy with my heart like that.” Her fingers closed tightly around the ring, and she pulled her hand back, taking the ring away from him as she huffed tiredly.
“Forget I said anything. I will just keep it.” The ghoul then flopped sideways onto her bed and curled up with a soft scowl.

Who knew Mot could be insensitive? Apparently he could, but soon he felt horribly for toying with her like that. Mot frowned and watched her pull her hand back and lay down. Now she was mad. Really mad. He was supposed to be here making her feel better. Mot looked at her with a guilty expression, turning away and lamenting to himself.
"Sorry." Mot murmured some time after, having had to work up the courage to apologize. He fidgeted quietly a while longer, thinking. He really didn't want her mad, or dead. Anything that meant she wouldn't be around.
"How about this.." He spoke after a while. "If we're both still alive after we graduate, then I'll accept your ring." By then, they should be strong enough to fight anything that would try to kill them, he reasoned inwardly.

Hel didn’t say anything as she lay there, toying with the golden ring idly. When he brought up some sort of deal to her though, the ghoul’s brows furrowed. What?
The ghoul lifted her head to look back at Mot with a perplexed look. “What does making it to graduation have anything to do with me giving you this ri—“ Oh yeah…he thought she meant it was…
Hel huffed. “I was not serious about this--” She waved the ring at him a bit. “--Being an engagement ring. It is just a ring I made. I do not need to wait until graduation for you to take it.” Hel reached over then and grabbed his hand and she pressed the ring again his palm and then let his hand and the ring go. She flopped back down onto her side and sighed.

She wasn't serious? Mot's heart kind of hurt after hearing that, staring at the ring that was shoved into his hand. It was no longer beautiful. This ring was now tainted with their argument. It did not sparkle anymore. In fact, Mot now hated this ring.
"So..." Mot started, then sighed and fiddled with the ring. "Fine. Forget I offered anything too. I take it back."

“Ya. I figured.” Hel replied, flatly, frowning as she stared at the patterns on her quilt. Damn. How did they get into these tiffs so fast, and why was marriage such a painful topic for her?
“I am resigned to the fact I am going to be unmarried for the rest of my existence.”

"Hey, I offered, and you declined." Mot replied flatly in return. He thought she'd jump at the offer. He was wrong. "I won't ask again, either." Damnit.. how did they always get so heated so quickly? Was something wrong with them? Did all couples fight like this? Maybe it was just them.
Mot scowled and stood up, slamming the ring down onto the night stable and turning on his heel. "I'm happy you're safe. I'll be in my room." His pride hurt, he felt guilty, and he just didn't want to fight anymore. This wasn't the reunion he imagined.

…Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hel bolted upright, looking back at Mot with a clearly confused and almost panicked look. “Wai—what? Mot…” She was tripping over her words at this misunderstanding they just seemed to have. Of course she’d jump all over a marriage proposal, but the ring hadn’t been a marriage proposal at all, so thus Mot’s offer didn’t have any grounds! Gah! “That ring was not an offer for an proposal, I just…I just wanted you to have it…I made it with you in mind and…and then you mistook it for an engagement ring and I wanted to see what you would say about it so…” She swallowed nervously.
“I think this just turned into a misunderstand—“ Hel gasped as he stood and slammed the ring down onto her nightstand, and she choked up again as the corner of her eyes teared up. “…A..and you are just going to leave me now? After you promised you would not?” The valkyrie just looked absolutely pathetic now.

"So you pretended that it was. To see what I would say. I toyed with you so you toyed with me, right?" Mot scoffed, clearly unhappy and hurt.
"I'm not leaving. You know where I'll be." He refused to look at her. If he did, he'd fold. He knew she sounded upset, and he couldn't let himself turn back into spineless jelly. He was mad. Mad that she didn't take him seriously, after he had mustered all that courage.

Hel’s chest started to rise and fall rapidly. The ghoul looked like she was hyperventilating, and maybe she was. She was just so upset. With everything, and now Mot was upset at her too.
The reaper broke down into tears again, cupping her face.

Well played, Hel. Well played.
Mot couldn't walk away. Not as Hel started to cry. She was someone who rarely cried, if ever. The reaper turned around without hesitation, looking upon Hel as she fell into sobs again. "Ah! No, don't cry! I'm sorry, Hel! I'm sorry!" Mot apologized. Folded like a bad hand in Poker.
He wrapped his arms around her again, holding her close. "Don't cry..."

How do you spell ‘Mot’? S-U-C-K-E-R.
Hel didn’t fight it when he pulled her back into his arms, though she kept her face cupped as she sobbed harder than she had been previously. “You know I would never say ‘no’ or turn down a proposal!” The ghoul wailed.
“I had been joking and then I thought you were joking, because you have kept telling me ‘no’ and ‘I am not going to be married for a long time’ and—“ The rest of her reasoning got a bit incoherent as she sobbed and shuddered, until it picked back up to being coherent, “—And I want to be your wife so badly and—“ And then she babbled, “—and now you are never going to ask me again and the candy was right! I am going to be alone five-ever!” Hel wailed.

Oh wow. She was really letting it all out. Mot stared down at the top of her head as she sobbed and wailed and sobbed some more. Gosh, it had all been one misunderstanding after another. Mot patted her back, looking a bit worried as she kept going. "C-candy?" What was even...
Still, she wanted to be his wife that badly? So..she must love him just as much as he loved her? Maybe more.
"No, no that isn't true. I was just mad. I'll ask again." Mot assured her, rubbing her shoulders as he stood back. The poor thing had been through so much. "Because I do want to be with you forever." Or.. uh.. 5-ever?

Hel’s hands lowered a bit, glassy dual toned eyes peering up at him through the cracks in her fingers as her face was once again tear stricken.
“R-really?” She sobbed. “You will really ask again? When?” Now Hel felt her stomach drop out, to think she had just missed a chance that was right now. The ghoul sniffled. “A…and you…do?”
