"Twenty Questions?" Amrita repeated, her gaze on the ceiling as she tried to figure out what that was, or if she'd heard of it before. Hmmm.... Nope! She was drawing blanks! She did however, notice a weird crack in the ceiling. Had that always been there? Hum.
"How do you play that?" She asked curiously, tilting her head. As always she just glanced at him, but her gaze was back on the floor soon enough. "A-and...what are the..." There was a little pause as she yawned. "...The rules?"

Lucien wasn't a genius at the game, but he knew the general rules. It was a very simple game, right? Amrita could surely play and be good at it! But how would he explain it...? He thought for a moment, his eyes following hers to the ceiling for a moment. Oh, there was a crack in the ceiling... what was he doing? Oh yeah, game.
"Well," he said.
"One of us will ask twenty questions to the other while they answer with 'yes' or 'no'," he paused. There were more rules weren't they? Oh yes! "If they are unable to answer all twenty, then the questioner gets to ask twenty more!"
"How does that sound?"

Asking questions...and answering them. That sounded easy enough! Still, she wasn't sure exactly how to do it, so there was one sure fire way to get her to understand: Watch someone else! Looking rather eager about this new game, she made herself comfortable on the bed, hugging onto the Mini Golem that took this time to divebomb her lap. Ruffling the Golem's wings, she looked up at Lucien with the Demon Cat.
"I'll play! But, um, you'll have to start." That seemed fair, right? He's the one that suggested it!

Lucien nodded to Amrita, watching her get comfy on her bed. It made him wiggle a little, adjusting his sitting position a little, making sure Demon Cat was comfy as well as he stroked it's fur. He had no problem starting off! Of course, he'd have to think of some questions to ask. He tilted his head as he looked at her. He opened his mouth and the first thing that came to his mind was, "Is your name Amrita?"

Her brow lifted. Was that an allowed question?! He knew her name! That seemed like cheating somehow. Blinking, she looked at him almost stupidly for a moment or two.
"Yes." She said with absolute certainty, though her expression looked confused. This was a weird game! Weird game! But interesting. Then again, she could have been lying. Oh. Hey, Wait! "Oh! Do we have to answer honestly?" The girl asked, followed shortly by: "Do I ask one after you?" Then, of course, another thought hit her. One that was a little belated, but made her gasp in sudden realization.
"Did...did I use up two questions?!" Another distressing pause, and her hands lifted to cover her mouth, nearly muting a: "Three?!" Ohgod, was that four?! She was too concerned at losing her questions to keep going, but she did stare at Lucien, really stare at him, with a wide eye.

"Yes!" He said. "You have to answer honestly!
He listened to her questions and his breath started to cut short... and then... and then Lucien burst out laughing. Wildly laughing. He tried not to disturb Demon Cat and he tried to stop laughing. He almost had stopped but then when he looked at her, he couldn't help but laugh even more! It took him several minutes to stop to the point where he could look at her seriously and not continue laughing. He took a deep breath and shook his head, "No, you didn't use your questions!"
And finally, "How about we take turns, you can ask your question now then!"

That distressed look didn't leave, especially when he started laughing. Ruthlessly laughing! That blush came back to her cheek, and her head dropped to stare at her lap, absently playing with her hair enough to pull some of it back in front of her face, hiding. Well, it was good to know that she didn't use her questions, but she could have done without the laughing!
"O-oh...uhm...o-okay..." She murmured, playing with the main piece of hair that was almost always in front of her face. "Ummm..." Think girl, think! Amrita wasn't the most creative person on a good day! Something that Lucien could answer yes or no to... "Are...your eyes blue?"

He smiled at Amrita and tried to... remember just what colour his eyes were. What colour were his eyes? It was so rare that he looked into a mirror or reflective surface that he'd be able to know. He was pretty sure they were blue and soon he found himself nodding his head with a, "Yes." With that spoken, he had to think of a question for her. He didn't want to question her too tough to start with, not yet at least.
"Do you like this academy?"

Amrita looked mildly curious when she happened to glance up and see that he was looking in a small mirror she had on her desk, something she used to see when her pets were a little too quiet. Did he not remember what his eye colour was? That was...interesting.
"Yes!" She said eagerly in response to his question. She was definitely enjoying it! She had made great friends; the urge to expand her answer hit her, but then she recalled it was either yes or no. There was no pointin expanding.
"Did you...forget your eye colour?" She asked curiously, still surprised by it.

Lucien's cheek flushed just a little as he realized she noticed. How could she do that to him! How?! He looked away from her and nodded his head with a small, "Yes," before looking at the ceiling and anywhere else he could! Without looking at her he tried to think of something to ask her that would not involve him having to look at her. To do so, he thought about traits she had.
"Uh," he said. "Were you born with your feet backwards?"

...Lucien was...looking away?! He wasn't looking at her?! ...Heee! Part of her swelled with pride, this being the first time she'd ever made him react like that! Actually, Pride wasn't strong enough of a word. His earlier laughing at her forgotten, she pushed some of the hair out of her face, smiling brightly. But then, sadly, came his question. It plunged her pride back down a little bit, and she leaned over the golem, looking over the bed at her heels; the toes were firmly planted under the bed, apparently.
But was she born with them? That was a trick question...but, on a technicality...
"No." She answered quietly, going back to playing with her hair. Hopefully that would be the end of those types of questions! Hmm...what to ask next...Oh!
"...Are we friends?"

Slowly Lucien looked back at Amrita when she answered no to his question. She wasn't born like that? His curiosity started drilling in his head, wondering how it happened. It would have to be a question for another day though, because he couldn't figure out how to word a question without just randomly guessing. Maybe he'd try later though, could be fun. For now though, Lucien was content with it.
Were they friends? Lucien thought. Hm... The day they had together, they were still together. She hadn't punched him, she let him into her room AND her demon cat liked him! They must be friends.
"Yes!" He said.
What to ask? He decided to stick with the theme she had started. He looked at her, tilted his head again and asked, "Do you like me?"

Apparently Amrita had forgotten the big rule of the game, as she was very content when he seemed to let the subject drop. That was a huge relief! He still had many questions to ask how though, so the fear remained...for now. That rollercoaster of emotions really wasn't going to go away easily, was it? Still, she was very pleased with his answer to her question, beaming. Another confirmed friend! That made two (one and a half?) ghouls and one boil. She'd never had a boil friend before!
"Yay!" She couldn't help but announce, playing with Golem's wings for a moment...well, until he asked his question. At first she seemed startled, but she really didn't need to think too hard on it. They were friends, the answer was obvious! The even remote idea that those specific words could mean anything more than friendship never did cross her innocently simple mind.
"Yes!" Even though he sometimes made her head hurt, she did like him! He was fun, and he gave her head pats! Beaming at him, she couldn't resist asking back. "Do you like me?"

Lucien couldn't help but smile a little when Amrita admitted to liking him. Just a little. It was always a good thing when cute little critters liked you. If they didn't like you, they tended to bite... or so Lucien had heard. He had never had that bad of experience with animals. All this thought of animals reminded him of the demon cat in his lap and he found himself rubbing the little one behind the ears as he considered her question. It seemed silly, of course he liked her!
"Yes," he said as if he was stating the most obvious thing in the world.
Lucien continued down his list of things ask, "Have you ever sat in a cloud?"

Yay! He liked her! Of course he did, they wouldn't be friends otherwise. Still, that made her happy, and it showed. She took a glance to Demon Cat, still content on Lucien's lap. The feline was purring so loudly she could hear it from where she was! Then again, they weren't very far apart. She didn't even need to think on his question.
"No." Not that she wanted to! Being this close to the ground and she wasn't a fan of falling; there was a good chance she'd just fall right through the cloud. Then she would fall forever.
"Have you ever been buried?"
