Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maybe Mot was use to this, but Hel wasn’t in her room.

That was alright though.

She was close.

Very close.

The ghoul popped right in Mot’s face, upside down.

“Ah! Hello Mot!” She replied, grinning a bit as her braided pig tails swung a bit. What in Jack’s name was she hanging from? It was hard to tell. Living in a gothic building had its perks though…there were many things along the walls and ceilings to hang from. What was Hel doing on the ceiling? Working on her parkour. Duh.

“Also, do you really have to ask?”

Sadly, it was kind of satisfying to startle Mot…not that she had to try really hard.

The ghoul blinked as he kissed her nose, looking rather stunned for a moment before wrinkling it out of reflex as a smile pulled at her lips. She was still not…use to this affectionate Mot. She also wasn’t sure if she should reciprocate. Would that scare him off still? Huh. “Huh…? Oh, ya, I am!” She blinked again. Do…something? It felt like forever since she had done something with Mot…much less training.

Hel crossed her arms, still hanging upside down, and rubbed her chin thoughtfully, staring at the floor. “…Well…would you like to do some training today?”

Hel just stared after Mot like he was possessed.

Let him get changed to train, huh?

Alright then.

While Mot was changing, Hel let herself drop from the ceiling, shifting as she landed on her feet in kneel, the metallic bits of her boots clanging noisily down the hall. She stood, brushing off the leaves of her baggy tunic before resting her hands on her hips. Hel never needed to change to train. She went as is. Imagine her surprise once again though, as Mot came out looking ready to well…train. Once again, Hel just stared. Mot…not…in his usual clothes…

The ghoul just looked a bit flabbergasted.

“…You are just…making my head spin at every turn…you know that, ya?” She reached out to tug on his sleeve a bit and then started to make her way towards the staircase and down it. “…So…was there something in particular you wanted to work on?”

“Ya…you are.” Hel replied with a soft smirk, looking back over her shoulder at him. He didn’t like to sweat in his nice clothes…pffft. She knew, Mot. She knew.

The reaper started to hop down the stairs, humming as she pondered what they could do today that would benefit them both. On the second flight of stairs, the ghoul stopped, and her face exploded into a wide grin as she spun around to face the cowboil. “I got it!” She announced. “…We shall climb things!”

“The reapers dorm!” Hel announced, and then paused. “….Uh…okay, maybe that is too advanced for you…um…we shall start with the brick wall behind the reaper dorms. Then…we shall go find other things to climb!” She resumed going down the stairs. “Pulling yourself up works on upper body strength and traversing obstacles as well! Very good training…”

As soon as she was at the bottom, Hel headed through the back and out into the garden. She went down the path, looking back at Mot before arriving at the brick wall…which was pretty formidable…it was taller than Mot.

The ghoul smiled up at him. “It is alright, Motty!” She encouraged, and then watched as he gave it a shot…and then fall off. “…Uh…” She rubbed the back of her neck.

“…Ah! Here…see, when you try scaling a surface like this, Mot…” Hel pressed herself against the wall and looked up. “You try finding bits of bricked that stick out for you to just have enough to hold until to pull yourself up…” She reached out and started to pull herself up. “That and well…just sheer power and determination!” Hel climbed the wall and then reached the top, sitting on it as she looked down at him. “You can do it!”

Hel rested her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands as she watched Mot start to scale the wall.

Her lips pulled into a wide smile as he seemed to be getting it. “Ah! Good job!” She encourage. “Keep at it, you are doing great!” Now the question would be…could he continue to make it all the way?
