Still, the answer was not good enough for Hel!
The hands on her hips fell from their perches though, and slowly clenched into fists. “…I was pretty certain of that…” Hel started, her tone quiet…deadly. “But what did she do exactly?” Was Hel practically wanting a play by play? Yes. Freya hitting on boils wasn’t anything new to her…but the intensity with which she would hit on them, that’s what the valkyrie needed to know.

Oh sweet Sally, she needed a play by play? Mot grimaced, turning a sicker shade of gray than usual. He hated physical contact like what he'd had with Freya, yet talking about it was worse. Especially to Hel. Freya's sister of all people. Still, the fact Hel was not fazed by Freya's act had him worried. Was she like that with... all boils then? ...Mot suddenly felt unclean.
"W-well.. I was going to visit you, but you weren't in. Freya asked me to..oh wait, she didn't ask.. well, she took me to her room." Okay, that sounded bad. Mot would have taken this to the grave, but he had made Hel a promise. Disappointing Hel was not something he ever wanted to do again. Having her mad at him had hurt a lot more than he imagined. "She uh.. got rather clingy, I suppose you could say." At first he had thought maybe the ghoul just liked being up close, but the was she had gone about should have been a warning early on.
"Do..I really have to?" This whole conversation was making him sweat.

Unfortunately for Mot. Yes. Her sister was like this with a lot of boils. But her sister, this time, had picked the wrong boil to mess with.
As Mot finally started to describe what had happened…Hel’s expression just grew darker and darker and her fists clenched tighter and tighter. Sadly, right now, Mot’s comfort had to take a back seat to the truth. Hel didn’t care that his skin tone was getting grayer or that he was starting to sweat. She needed to know all that she did. All of it.
“Tell me right now, Mot O’Boyle.”

Mot cringed. He felt like he was the one in trouble. And maybe he was. Had he done something wrong? He felt like he had. There was only one way to get out all that needed to be said.
Mot shut his eyes tightly, covered his ears with the palms of his hands. Take away two of his senses, and maybe it would feel like Hel wasn't there at all. Like he was just talking to air.
Mot began to word-vomit.
"She pulled herself close and asked if I thought she was pretty and asked if you were pretty and I said yes to both and then she said said she was sad cause i didn't blush for her and didn't stand a chance with me and I didn't understand and then she grabbed my hands and made me grab her a** and asked me to have some fun with her and then I knew that she meant a different kind of fun and I told her NO and then she said she was glad and kissed my cheek and told me not to tell you or else she'd take my hat!"
Mot gasped for air, having not let himself breathe through the entire rant. His hands fell from his ears, though he didn't dare open his eyes.

Full name is very effective, yes!
Then Mot word vomited. Hey, whatever got the job done. Hel could clearly understand what he was saying and well…her blood was boiling. Freya had crossed a line. How dare she try and mess up a relationship she had with one of her first friends, just because he was a boil! Sure…Hel may have…felt something…more but, ugh! That wasn’t the point! The point was Freya had crossed a line, and she was going to pay for it dearly. After a long tense moment, Hel let out a ragged breath. Freya would get what was coming to he—
Wait.
Wait just a minute.
One minute Hel was readying to tear someone’s head off, the next she was wide eyed and looked horrified, but on top of that…she looked hurt. “And you picked your hat over me!?” She wailed.

The yelling was contagious.
"WHAT!? ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY?!" Mot yelled back, sill shutting his eyes. "That's just stupid! I didn't tell you because it was EMBARRESSING! Why would I ever choose a hat over my best friend?!" Mot was just about livid. To be accused of such a horrible thing.
Still, the hat was part of the reason, but definitely not the only one.

The yelling was indeed contagious…Hel couldn’t lower her volume at the moment either. “I think my concerns are FOUNDED, Mot!” She wailed back, “I KNOW how much you love your hat, and if we ARE friends, then you should be able to tell me ANYTHING even if it is EMBARASSING! Especially when it involves my sister!”
But wait, the valkyrie looked a bit taken aback. Best…friend…?

Mot opened his eyes now, but he squinted. The riled up emotions made his eyes burn. His arms shuddered as he clenched his fists. "You don't think it might be the SLIGHTEST BIT AWKWARD to tell my best friend that her sister had her hands all over me?!" He grouched back, nearly fuming.
He wasn't sure why, but this conversation was making him agitated and upset.

Hel stomped her foot in agitation, the bare skin making a muffled smack sound on the floor of the kitchen. “NO I DON’T! Because you are my friend and because my sister has WRONGED you, I expect you to tell me! I was UPSET because none of you would tell me ANYTHING! I’m ready to DESTROY her for your honor, but I can’t protect you if you don’t tell me what happens!”
The valkyrie let out a rather loud huff. He said those words again! Best friend.

Mot silenced himself then. He calmed down visibly, relaxing his shoulders. His.. Honor? She was mad because...
Mot's eyes cast downward shyly. He did not know how to feel about this. His feelings were muddled, uncertain. Hel's intentions were.. flattering? Was that what it was? He felt badly; keeping this from her seemed to upset her more than the actual information, or perhaps just as badly.
"I..." Mot rubbed his arm, his brows knitting together. "I don't want you to fight her because of me." It just wasn't worth it. Fighting her kin because of his so called honor. What honor did he have?
Still, Hel wanted to protect him? Why? Weren't boils the ones who protected the ghoul?

When the mood for yelling ceased, it ceased. Hel’s fists unclenched as soon as the mood brought on by the yelling seemed to lessen. The valkyrie looked off to the side, puffing out her cheeks momentarily before looking back at Mot, who was staring down…shyly? Hel huffed lightly, crossing her arms.
“I’m going to battle her.” Hel murmured with conviction. “Nothing you say or do will change that. She has bothered you, and she has offended me with her intentions, so I will take care of her. It’s what valkyries do…” The reaper trailed off for a moment, and looked off to the side again. “…I will not tolerate her treating you like that.”

Mot sighed a bit. She would battle anyway. It was something he could not stop. Something he did not really understand, not coming from a world of Valkyries. Having Hel dead set on defending him, it was met with a mix of feeling cared for as well as weak for needing to be cared for.
Mot had a though strike him. Would Freya come for his damaged hat? He had hoped it could take it home to bring to his mother, and maybe leave it in his old bedroom. Or.. would she come for his new hat? The one Hel made just for him.
Promise or not, Mot would not give up the new hat. He would hold onto it through death if he had to. "Okay.. I won't stop you."

Always battling. Never not battling. Everyday was a battle, whether it be outside forces or even yourself. Hel was showing she really cared through her actions…her sister would understand the gravity of her conviction to see this battle through for Mot’s sake, but because Mot was not of the Nordic culture…it made sense some of it was beyond him.
Oh well. Did actions still speak louder than words?
“..Heh…” Hel couldn’t help but give a short laugh, a small grin gracing her lips at Mot’s words. “I know. You couldn’t stop me, anyways.” That was just the plain simple truth of the matter, and it wasn’t meant to be demeaning. It didn’t matter what the cowboil said or did, she would challenge her sister, and that would be that. After the battle was over…then they could get over it.

Mot could have taken it wrongly, but if he did, he'd understand all the same. Hel was not an ordinary ghoul. Mot was weaker than most people, and certainly not the most intimidating, more so with Hel. He dealt with it for now.
Well then. That was settled, ish. Mot was full, tired and sore.
The reaper took up the painkillers Hel had left for him, taking it with the cider that was left. Thanks to their screaming match, his headache was pounding his brain like a rampaging elephant. "I should get more rest." Mot admitted. Rest may or may not be actual sleeping, but it would involve little to no movement regardless.

Hel’s hands moved back to rest on her hips, quietly watching as Mot took the painkillers and then washed it down with some apple cider. She gave nod of her head. “…Understood, friend.” Honestly, she was glad to hear that he was getting a lot of rest…he needed it, severely.
“I hope you rest well.”
