"Correct." A nod of her head coupled with her answer confirmed his suspicions; at his question she almost, almost told him it was a secret, but on the whole she didn't pass up an opportunity to sneak out some Engraver knowledge; she somewhat hated her home for it's oppression, but was never brave enough to fight it openly. "It is required of me. The less I can see, the better I can hone my skills until it is time to remove my sight all together." Her free hand came up to touch her mask as if it were breakable, her fingers resting against the rope binds that crossed along her forehead.
But the conversation over his mate was a happier one, and she perked up considerably whenever she got to ask him questions about it. "Fantastic! A lifelong mate is something I can never have, I am jealous!" Despite her words she sounded happy, at least for him. "Tell me about her?" However, as the question was reflected back on her, she somehow managed to look unsure. "But ah---as for me? I do not...and I should not be considering such things. Once I graduate I will be back to the Manor and back to solitude." Annnnd there went the happy that had been in her voice, her heart wrenching at the knowledge of where she was going with her life. It was the reason she had been so confident in her not being figuratively lost earlier; her fate was clear cut...and she hated every moment of it.
"This door has a strange shape." She acknowledged in a deadpanned voice, almost as if it were an afterthought rather than a real observation.

"To other students, yes. I begged our elders to allow us to attend on the premise that school would hone our ink sense, but in reality I did it to get my sister out of the manor. She is precious to me, and she deserves better than our lives would allow...of course, she seems to think she is doing the same for me." What a pair they made! Both doing things under the assumption it would help the other, willing to sacrifice themselves for their cause. Who would win and who would lose in the end, though? Needle wasn't sure how far her own loyalty would go, now that she's had this taste of freedom.
"There...is someone who is special to me, but I am...hesitant." For obvious reasons of course.
As Bix described himself, she practically got stars in her eyes. Little to no pigment? Any tattoo on that particular canvas would be...stunning. Such contrast would be beautiful beyond words! In her head her little admiration (and perhaps a little tattoo planning) distracted her enough to miss some of what he was telling her, but the gist was there, and she came back to it easily enough. "A very special ghoul you have, Bix. Please do take care of her, she sounds like your perfect mate." She wanted to ask how they work together, but she was pretty sure that the answer would be It's a secret, so she kept quiet.
"Ah..." Needle breathed out in mild discomfort, her hand tightening on his as the room grew darker and harder to walk in. "Did you two attend Amity?" Another question, another way to beat the discomfort at being in complete blackness.

"I try." Needle said, somewhat amused. She certainly did, but that was as far as she could honestly say. She listened to Bix's advice, her mouth setting in what was supposed to be a thoughtful frown; it was sound advice, it really was. However there was little chance she could escape her fate, and that meant a very real potential for heartbreak. She was already having a hard time coping with the fact she was going to lose all of these wonderful friends, but...what happened if she cultivated a couple with someone?
"I will try my best, that much I can promise." She submitted, still very much at war with herself internally. Needle wanted to grab life by the horns and experience everything, but there were certain things she knew would get no where, especially if she ended up back at the manor.
The Engraver would be no help when it came to finding the way out; each room felt the same as the last, though the scenery did change here and there.
"Ahh, I understand! I wonder...if school was as dangerous then as it is now?" She mused thoughtfully, her feet going intangible over the more heated, rocky terrain to avoid tripping or scorching her bare feet. "There is something wrong in our world if I have to promise my Sister that we will go back home - for good - if something happened at a sporting event."

"Ah. Well, it might not have been too bad, I mean...I had never heard of such danger at home, and word does tend to come our way on occasion." Needle mused, humming thoughtfully at the idea. "Well either way, so long as I can keep my dear sister safe, all will be right in my world." Anyone else would just be an unfortunate loss; Lattice would be a devastating, unrecoverable blow to her entire life.
"I do! It is very enjoyable outside of that. The classes are interesting, though I would like more time to spar! Perhaps work with my needles a little more~" She gave it some thought, and then turned her head up to look at him, her lips pulling into a smile. "Perhaps, when we meet again, we could spar?" Fighting friends was always fun! Even though there was no such thing as holding back; hopefully he wouldn't take offense if she actually and actively tried to win.
"Say, that reminds me...I do not have a skelephone, would that be a problem?" After all, he did make hints of them meeting again!
