</div></div><br/>Lilly hadn't commented on even one of Louis's advances on her, or rather what was clearly drunken attempts at flirting during their trek to the Laeline. The lioness wasn't sure how to take them, honestly, considering his strange nature. She wasn't offended, but neither flattered; the thought of her and a vampire in any sort of romantic situation still sent a shiver down her spine. That said, Lilly was less repulsed than before, so perhaps it was working similar to a Stockholms setting. In her mind, she wondered if keeping this sad excuse for a vampire around was detrimental to her moral values. Best not to encourage him by playing along with his masochistic desires, even if that was in her wheelhouse, but she didn't berate him either. Lilly had no desire to have such a discussion when they were so close to whatever was going down.<br/><br/>Count Theobaud Graves<br/><br/>Was he a vampire from the 1800s? Lilly had yet to meet a vamp in modern society that seriously used that title. Well, her little Louie already ranked higher in her book than Count Chocula, even if he was offering to buy them drinks, which she now realized was an unnecessary gesture at the One Night Stand; no one paid for their drinks. Also, there was something about Theo that merely unsettled her in a way that Louie hadn't. At least everyone had the wherewithal to quickly disperse from the scene of the disturbance back to the bar, a trip where Lilly continued her silent contemplation on tonight's events, and her booked evening endeavors.<br/><br/>Pink, who seemed to be leading the charge of meta's when she herself smelled decisively human was possibly the most interesting of the bunch for just such a reason. Ziggy was apparently saddled with a vampire for the night, not unlike herself. There was only a moment's hesitation for Lilly at the threshold of the rune-covered entrance to the ONS, an innate fear that had been instilled in her from an incident long ago. Stamping out the delusions, Lilly's first order of business was to skirt past the Netflix engrossed albino to take a spot behind the bar counter, immediately rooting around for a set of cleanish glasses. With ice in one hand, she snatched a nondescript bottle of what she assumed was whiskey.<br/><br/>"Yeah, that'll do." She said quietly to herself with a slight grimace after taking a whiff of the contents of the dark brown container. Shortly thereafter, she had two whiskeys on the rocks, pinched together in one hand while she held the bottle in the other. Lilly then paced back over to Louie, directing him to a table to stand at and drink while Ziggy and Theo situated themselves as well nearby.<br/><br/>The shifter wasn't sure whether or not to go back to what he had said earlier, but it was a conversation, all the same, she figured "Look, Louie, I don't know if you're fucking with me or what." Lilly started, voice still somewhat low and setting the glasses and bottle down, sliding his drink over to him before continuing. "If I'm with someone or not is none of your concern, but I'm certainly not taken by the man on the phone. You don't know him, obviously, but that's gross even for me to say." Picking up her glass, she took several long, slow swallows without even the slightest reaction to what was undoubtedly a foul brand of whiskey. "If you need a strong woman in your life to kick your ass into shape, however." Lilly slammed back the rest of her drink with a grin, slapping it back down on the table with a clack and stating to top it off. "There might be an arrangement we can come to." What could she say? She might have despised vampires on principle, but there were exceptions to keeping them around, and Louie had that sort of sad puppy appeal that was growing on her.<br/><br/>Lilly cocked her head towards Ziggy's worrying remark about the Laeline. Absolutely, fixing the damaged node was intrinsic to her kind, the changing breeds, and their loyalty to Gaia and all. That said, Lilly's grin faded into a more of a sneer as she eyed the pair. "Maybe you shouldn't have fucked it to begin with, and if neither of you can do anything about it, then I think it's going to remain a gouge in the realm that is practically visible to the average fucking person." Down to her last cigarette, she didn't feel as though she'd smoked that much this evening. Suspiciously, she eyed the sole smoke in her digits as she lit it and took a drag. "Eventually, it'll get repaired, I may be a poor excuse, but I know my kind are around here somewhere." A little whirl of her finger in the air to denote the city, she shrugged off the notion that it was her duty to deal with such matters, Lilly had almost no experience with it.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="6446" data-username="@Salaciousalpha" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6446/">@Salaciousalpha</a><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="7082" data-username="@Lurktastic" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/7082/">@Lurktastic</a><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="634" data-username="@Villains" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/634/">@Villains</a><br/><br/>[[My bad, I did not realize it was my turn, whoops.]]
