Lilly watched the cat bound off of the vampire's head with a start, the first instinctually correct action she'd witnessed the animal perform so far, and likely the last for this night unless it wandered back. Lilly only bought drinks for those she considered worth an intimate setting with the lioness, and even the briefest thought of laying with a vampire almost revulsed her on a physical level.<br/><br/>Wearing an awkward sort of grin to try and hide such feelings, she replied, "Sure thing, Louie, first one is on me."<br/><br/>Louis was taller than her by nearly a head, the shifter needing to look up in order to stare into his hues with her own, and surely he must have misconstrued Lilly's less than subtle antagonistic nature towards him for the vampire to put himself so close to her person.<br/><br/>Too close.<br/><br/>Her cigarette pulled mid drag from ruby painted lips, Lilly suddenly backed away several steps as if a knife had been drawn on her. Those brilliant emerald hues narrowed into feline slits for a second time this evening and she exhaled the smoke she had taken in with an exasperated groan.<br/><br/>"Personal...fucking...boundaries." There was a bestial tone escaping deep from within her core, Lilly couldn't look at Louis, clenching her eyes shut and raising a finger at him to command the vampire to remain in place. Her other hand was at her side, clenched into such a tight fist that her nails dug half-moon cuts into her palms and brought forth a small trickle of crimson. "Gaia, give me strength, I'm doing my best to try and get along with a creature that my body wants to tear the tainted heart out of." Her words were shakey, muscles rippling under her clothes, threatening to split the fabric. Peace did come after a long series of breaths, Lilly unclenching her bloodied hand and digging out another cigarette. Only when it was lit and she huffed a couple of quick drags did she open her once again normal-looking oculars, though she hardly wore a pleased expression on those more and more tired features.<br/><br/>"Let's just go, because you're right,<i>sweetie</i>, this is going to be a long fucking night." It might not have been smart for Lilly to turn her back on the vampire, but he hardly seemed the sort to take advantage of such an opening. She might not be immortal as he was, but like him, Lilly possessed no rush to her pace. Instead, she inspected her self-inflicted cuts on her hand and licked at them as an animal would. As with her injuries at the fight club, these too had healed with the blood cleaned away.<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>
