"N-nothing... We just got into a fight... It's nothing..." she shook her head and looked down. Normally when she was around Stein all she did was stare at him in a somewhat creepy way.
"Morbosa...you're acting different than your usual self." Lifting her chin up gently so he could get a look at her eyes, he frowned. "Tell me what really happened...you're lying."
"It is not my place to say, sir" she resorted for a very classic lie. She didn't even look at him. She kept her eyes on the screw coming out of his head.
Frowning, Stein sighed. "If you need a place to stay tonight, I'll show you to a spare room in my house. I'm guessing you do not want to go back to Nathan for a while...your soul wavelengths might be off, its not safe for you two to hang around eachother for a while."
"I will try, sir" she nodded her head, trying to smile but unable to pull anything big off. She managed to keep he distance and stay calm even though she was half tempted to just hug him and cry and tell him what happened. But she didn't. That would have been awkward.
Stein nodded and patted her on the head. "When you're ready, come to my place alright? I won't be expecting you, but do come on in if you ever need to, alright?" With that, he began to walk off...thinking things were a bit strange.
"Okay..." she followed him, wrapping her arms around herself. Hating how she was forced to wear these raggedy clothes. But she said nothing. She just made sure to cover her chest just in case something happened, causing the safety pins to malfunction. She was just glad she liked safety pins and kept a lot on her skirt.
When they arrived to his home, he opened the door for her and led her in. "Switch out of those clothes and into something else. They look like they're going to fall apart. Don't tell me the whole fight you had with Nathan was...he didn't rape you, did he? All those years of you teasing him, he probably snapped."
"K-kay..." she moved off to his closet and rummaged around, enjoying the scent of Stein in the air. Sometimes her thoughts creeped even her out. She sniffed and wiped her eyes again. Feeling herself starting to cry again as she remembered how Nathan and her were talking about Stein this morning. She just hoped that she could have her best friend back again... She began sobbing again. Quietly and to herself. Face in her hands.
After noticing she was gone for quite a while, Stein walked into the closet to see her crying. "Morbosa..." He said as he approached her, an unamused look on his face as he thought that Nathan really had done something. "What did Nathan do?"
"Nathan did nothing..." Well... She was being honest there. She just wiped her eyes and smiled. "Don't worry about it, sir. It is nothing" she assured.
"I don't think its nothing if you're crying over it. Morbosa...tell me. You can talk to me, we have a sacred bond as student and teacher, friend to friend. There's trust here."
"He will hurt Nathan... Er... Himself... Or whatever. I can't tell you." she shook her head. Hoping that he would be able to pick up the hint that she threw in there. "I have to change..."
