"She's like me. A Vetala." Though she couldn't recall if Shun knew what she really was, it was at least a place to start. If he didn't know, well, she could always explain it now. "So she could be anything now, really. I wouldn't be a help to you." It wasn't much of a secret to keep anymore, not with everything else that was piling up around her.
The idea of a new form of SEEDS, though, made her more than uncomfortable.
"It's not me you've been talking to." She said with a miserable finality, her hands finally falling, but this time to hold herself tightly. "I wasn't joking when I said something is wrong with me." Perhaps it was time to tell more than a select few. Shun had given her more than enough cause to think that the Parasite was up to something now, especially with the notion of training and war. Her fingers dug into her own skin, her nails biting into compromised flesh. "I'm - I mean my core - it's...it's broken, and now it's infected, and I think you've been dealing with her." She said it quickly, as if just trying to get the bare bones of the situation out as fast as she could. Just like a terrible, awful bandaid.

Amrita just gave him a pained look. Sure, she understood why he was asking for such a thing, but she was getting pretty tired of having to prove herself. It was not something she liked doing, and it seemed to be all Hel did. Sure, it was only two people now - Remi knew, but he seemed to be able to tell the difference without a password - but it was already too much for her.
Still, she gave it some thought, but not after heaving a heavy, frustrated sigh.
"Once, I asked you to kill me, no questions asked, if I ever proved to be a threat again." She supplied, and hoped that would be enough.

"Can you warn me first? I'd like to say goodbye to my boils." The promise didn't scare her on a personal level, but it did suddenly make her fear for other reasons. Ones that hadn't been there when she first asked him to end her.
She did look surprised at the nickname, but that surprise faded quickly when he mentioned Hel. Of course it was Hel. She must have told him about her little problem...
"She makes me recite a stupid password every time I see her, too." Amrita groaned unhappily, rubbing her face with both hands. This was so annoying. She hated this so much... Not too long after that, he got down to business, and she gave him a thoughtful look.
"I haven't the slightest idea, really. I don't know what's going on anymore." Especially in regards to herself, apparently. It was uncomfortable and unfortunate. "What did Hel tell you, exactly?"

"I appreciate that." It was nice to have eyes out on her. It seemed that for the longest time the opposite was true: the parasite had her under watch, not the other way around. This way, she felt like she had a little bit of hope left, and she held onto it as tightly as she could. For a moment she scrutinized Shun. She knew she could trust him. He even had Hel on his side, who had told him a little bit about what was going on. Yet she was still so unused to telling the story, she wasn't sure if it was something she should even tell.
"I'm pretty sure I know who it is. It's the Black Queen." Amrita said quietly, as if someone else could hear - though they were obviously alone. "Merlin did this to me." She said, even quieter this time, as she rubbed the Legacy mark on the back of her hand. "I don't know why, but he is. He tricked me. I didn't know who it was at the time. He said he could remove my tag, free me from their grasp, and let me reach my potential, but-" She let out a noise, something between a sob and a frustrated cry. "I'm still trying to find a way to stop it. I had nothing to live for before, but I do now. If she's not doing anything serious, I still have time."
