Lily felt a brief sting as Artorias carefully removed the shard of the shattered cup from her hand, feeling a wave of relief as the pain subsided. She looked at him with gratitude as he placed the shard on a napkin, his comforting smile putting her at ease. She reassured him that she was more concerned for his well-being than her own injury, appreciating his concern and care.

As his fingers intertwined with hers, she felt a sense of warmth and comfort, knowing that he didn't blame her for the accident. It made the elf maid's heart flutter abs her face to brighten up. She squeezed his hand gently, appreciating his understanding and kindness.

Now where were we? Ah yes! As she reached out to touch his ears, she was surprised by their length and pointed shape. Her injured hand pinching her own small elven ears whike her other hand caressed and rubbed his. An awe and offly funny look of concentration on her face. Seeing his reaction, she quickly withdrew her hand, feeling a sense of embarrassment. Yet, the way he looked at her with a newfound interest and called her adorable made her heart skip a beat. She couldn't help but smile at his words, feeling a flutter of happiness in her chest as she met his gaze.

"I-im sorry Sir! It's just.. I got excited at knowing you're an elf like me and I just... Wanted to feel how your ears felt since they are so long and pointy... Compared to mine.." Lily whispered the last part shyly to herself, gazing at her maid skirt with her head down. But truly she just didn't want him to see how red her face was! He called her adorable! Her tiny elven ears wiggled with a cute tint of red the elf wasn't aware of as she hid her face.

"Aye, there aren't many elves. I feel like a bit of an outsider sometimes.." 

Smoothly replying, a gentle chuckle that sounded melancholy tumbled from out of his mouth. Lily grabbing his ears was just so surprising, no one ever really just- *Touches* Him. But Arty didn't mind it, her hands were delicate and caring. It felt nice, to be touched by her. Lily carried such grace, that.. Sometimes toppled over. She seemed like a good person he wouldn't mind getting to know in all honesty. 

"Hey, hey-"

He said, putting up a hand waving off her sorry's. It really wasn't that big of a deal. 

"You really don't need to be apologizing that much, it's okay. I didn't mind it, but I think your shorter ears are cute. They're fine Hun." 

She really shouldn't compare herself to other people. That's the killer of self esteem, something Arty learned very early on from his childhood. And it made having respect for one's self wildly difficult. Watching Lily's head tilt down to avoid his eyes, he'd still seen some pink poking out at the edges of her cheeks. A very sly grin spread along his face, quickly followed with a sweet laugh. Covering his mouth to stifle it, this woman really was adorable. And a little bit silly. She seemed to get embarrassed easily, he extended a hand over the table, and his Danvers grazed beneath her jaw. Sliding forward to her chin, lifting it with a single pointer finger. Wanting Lily to meet his enchanting gaze once more..

"C'mon Darlin', no need to hide that pretty face. Even though I know it's red like a tomato.. Lemme see." 

He cooed, hoping to convince the woman into letting him see her again. She was- er, Lily's features are very enticing. Beautiful, even. And he wanted to indulge himself by staring and appreciating them more. She really is adorable in his eyes, and her eyes were so pretty too.

As he waved off her apologies, Lily's face brightened up even more with a bright blush spreading across her cheeks. His kind words about her ears caught her off guard, and she couldn't help but smile at the unexpected compliment. Her hand unconsciously fidgeted with a strand of her hair as she tried to process the unexpected exchange. 

Lily's head tilted down lower in embarrassment, but she couldn't help but peek up at Arty through lowered lashes, noticing the sly grin that adorned his face. His sweet laughter rang in her ears, and she couldn't help but find his amusement contagious. Even if his sly face made her pout, trying to look angry but it just made her cheeks look like a chipmunks. She was drawn in by his warmth and playful nature, unconsciously leaning closer to him.

She was really amusing, and sweet. Lily's feelings were very clearly worn on her sleeves, and she didn't seem embarrassed about that. Arty could find some appreciation in it too. Liking someone who can be their genuine persons around him. But that poor elf girls face was so flush and vibrant with red hues, it made his own face light up with a rich pink. Spreading inward across his cheeks, blotching his tiny button nose. Forcing a grin along his sweet cherry lips. 

"See? I always get what I want, Princess.."

The man replied thankfully, that, she looked at him when he asked. Staring into the heart of her eyes, his head tilted off to the left. A few locks of abyssal black hair fell from his head, draping down the side. His emeralds sparkles and shone so vividly. Their color pure, almost magically. Some kind of bond was forming between them, Arty's heart that of which was made of the most raging flame- burned in a different way. It felt.. Odd. There weren't any words he could put to it that would pin the feeling down, he could only see her though right now. Everyone else blurred together to form *Their* Background. Artorias came here with an empty belly and unsated appetite, but.. His hunger fell on a different kind of meal. 

"Yeah? Your job is pretty great.."

He said, leaving his words open ended, and glancing around. Both eyes landed back on her, a sort of new idea popped into his head. One, he wondered if she'd wish to join him in. Arty's fingers stayed on her face, however, his palm slid up to her cheek. Thumb pressing against her bottom lip, a very serene smile replaced his grin. 

"*You're such a pretty Puppy.. Aren't you?*" 

He cooed, a much more honied tone took over his once confident vocals. Arty's touch leagues more gentle, but it was very.. Sensual, too. She looked so pretty in this moment, so amazing. *Sweet, and soft.*
Patricia
Lily couldn't help but giggle at Arty's response, his infectious grin and the blush on his own cheeks only adding to the charm of the moment. She found herself drawn to his genuine nature, appreciating his ability to be himself without reservation. It made her heart flutter, knowing that she could also be her authentic self around him.

As their eyes remained locked, Lily felt a sense of connection growing between them. The way his emerald eyes sparkled and shone made her realize just how special this encounter truly was. Her face continued to flush with a deeper shade of red, mirroring the warmth that she felt spreading within her.

Her heart skipped a beat at his words, feeling a flutter of excitement building within her chest. She couldn't deny the thrill of his attention and the way he seemed to look at her as if she were the only one in the room. It was both exhilarating and overwhelming, a whirlwind of emotions she couldn't quite put into words.

Lily's breath hitched as Arty's fingers gently traced up her cheek, his thumb pressing against her bottom lip. The serene smile that replaced his earlier grin evoked a sense of calmness within her. His touch, though sensual, felt tender and caring. It stirred up a sense of desire that she hadn't expected, and she couldn't help but be captivated by his presence.

As his soft words caressed her ears, Lily's heart skipped another beat. The endearing nickname he bestowed upon her caused her lips to curve into a bashful smile. The intensity of his gaze and the sweetness in his voice made her feel like the most cherished creature in the room. It was a feeling she had never experienced before, and it made her knees weak and her pulse race.

"Y-yes..," She replied, her voice barely above a whisper, her face flushed, her small pink tongue peeking out to give his a finger a timid lick, "Yes, I am."
