Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hel blinked, and leaned in closer to Mot as he asked his question.

What.

Mot.

Were you for real?

The only experience Hel had with failing relationships was with you, and you were asking her for advice? Goodness. Hel gave Mot a skeptical look. “Mot.” She started. “This is me you are asking…and I know when you say ice breaker, you mean something to soften the start of the conversation…ya?” She paused. “You know me. I would not soften it, and I would not just break the ice, I would vaporize it.” How did Hel know a word like vaporize? Hrm.

“Just be honest and straight forward…yanno…this is how I feel and why. No ifs, ands, or buts…that is what confuses others.”

“…Ah.” Hel’s brows furrowed. Well, when Mot put it like that…maybe a bit of preface would be a good idea. She knew if she opened the door and was just told that with no other explanation well…yeah. Not good. “Alright…preface it then…but do not draw it out. I also think what you told me well…it explains it enough. Despite your time together…or lack there of, you feel nothing, and thus you think it is probably best to not be dating, ya?”

“Mot…this is not a play.” She stuck her tongue out at the boil. “A preface uh…” She rubbed her jaw and rolled her eyes up at the ceiling.

“…Hrm.” She paused. “Hello. Hope you are well. Excellent. Genie, you are my friend and I cherish you, and it is because I do I must tell you that I still want to be just your friend because I do not think it is working out between us as anything more because I am not feeling anything above platonic for you.” Hel went on her long winded sentence and then took in a breath.

“Ya?”

Hel just expected Mot to take her advice and of course make it more…Mot-ty.

The ghoul nodded her head as Mot seemed certain and serious, and then just laughed as he flopped onto his side and whined. “Ah, because if we did not suffer then we would not appreciate it.” She chuckled, and then poked his side…and then flopped across his side because that seemed like the right thing to do. She sprawled out on his side.

“I guess I am surprised in a way…that it is not working for you…ah…” Her brows furrowed. Mot was just…way more level headed than she was, so it struck her as odd that he was in another relationship that wasn’t going well and that might/probably be coming to an end.

As soon as Mot said that, Hel leaned back a bit and stared at him with a wide eyed horrified look. She seemed to relax though as he stated his take on the matter, and released a loud breath. “Oh, good!” She laughed, and waved a hand a bit before she reached and ruffled his raven locks. “Not saying you are not a true love…but if you were my true love and we did not work out…that would be pretty depressing, ya?” She beamed. “I agree with you. I do not think your first is your true…but I also think the journey is only endless until you finally find the one…then it is a new journey!”

Hel then proceeded to roll over the reaper a few times before she settled on her stomach on his side again.

“Ya. Okay…” She nodded her head. “I can grasp that…” She trailed off for a moment. “Neh, Mot? After…yanno…if you want company, you know where to find me, alright!?” After he told the news to Gene.

“Okay, good.” Hel then pushed herself up to her feet, and rested her hands on her hips. “I suppose I shall let you be then…” The reaper made a face. “But I am not leaving you be for too long like before…so!” She wagged a finger at him. “So you better take care of your business soon!” Yes, Hel, pressure him, good job.

“Hey…” She smiled down at him. “Thank you for the gifts again.” She grinned. “I love them! I will wear my shawl around all the time, and when my cottage is finish, the raven shall go right on the mantle of the fireplace!” She then waved to the boil. “See ya, Motty!”

In Hel-style, she didn’t wait for a reply, and spun on her heel to leave his room, to go back and push her furniture around after the walls dried.
