"Coat?" Amrita had parroted, sounding very confused. She never wore a coat. Okay, maybe like, a handful of times, but it was for fashion only. She didn't need them otherwi-oh. Coat. That coat. Right. "Oh." She announced, after she had caught on. "Err - yeah, sure." Though she didn't quite sound sure. In fact, there was a distinct pause on the other end of the phone: Shun wouldn't know this, but she was looking at her calendar.
"I think tonight is fine, if you want. You can either come here, or I can meet you at the lake? Say, around eleven?" That'd be a few hours from now, and probably still safe for everyone involved, considering the coat in question, and the likelihood that these other things would be quite sensitive as well.

Amrita hung up the phone, confused for the sudden call from Shun.
The coat in question had been folded nicely and packed into a shoulder bag of hers, and after a brief check to make sure it wouldn't be spotted at random, she headed out to the appointed meeting place, a few minutes early herself. Almost immediately, she felt strange. Like she knew someone else was there, waiting, but at the same time she couldn't see them.
"Shun?" She called, sounding confused. Her attention kept moving to one of the trees, having the strangest feeling about it.

Amrita startled a bit as he dropped down from the tree, though something told her she should have known. It was happening more often now, where she could simply feel certain people, when she hadn't before. It was always the same people, too. She could not explain why.
"…Well, I did suggest the time." She reminded him with a chuckle, ducking her head to pull the strap of her bag up and over it, offering the whole thing out to him. "I did, it's in here. You can give me the bag back later." For as long as she had held onto it, she was quite eager to give it away now. To Shun especially.
"What're you gonna do with it?"

Oh no. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Recently. He said recently. She hadn't seen Riley in a good year or so now, not since she visited the other woman to reject her as the Riley she once knew. Since then, she had heard whispers about the Mindflayer. How she was wanted by the Boogeymen -
And here was Shun, saying she had been in contact with her. Recently. She hadn't realized that she had begun to pace in a worried line until a thought occurred to her, and she stopped walking all together. Her head snapped up and she stared at him, though her hands remained curled near her head, ready to grab onto herself at a moment's notice.
"What do you mean, recently? How do you know I talked to her?"

Amrita just continued to stare at him. What little hope she had that this was a misunderstanding was fading quickly, left with only the horror of what she was hearing. She was up to something for sure now. Why else would they even be having this conversation at all?
"Shun I...haven't talked to you since the Black Door..." She informed him slowly, her hands balling into fists that rested against the sides of her head. A low but very distressed noise left her, and she started to pace again. So many thoughts whirled through her mind then, so many options, so many reasons why her parasite would be taking to Riley of all creatures. On top of it all, there was an offer?
Once more she stopped pacing rather suddenly, but this time, instead of staring at him, she looked at the ground, her expression drawn with pain.
"Something's wrong with me." She admitted, as if doing so were the hardest thing she had ever had to do.
