</div></div><br/>Lilly's blood ran hot like the beast she was, the bite of the cold air would hardly be noticed by her if she were a scantly dressed woman of the night. Still, the fire of her internal fury was being doused with each sad word the vampire spit out. With a sharp nail, she cut the tie holding her thick raven locks back, shaking the mess back into place and running her digits through them.<br/><br/>From here she thrust her hands into the pockets of her leather jacket, attempting to retract the aggressive fronting she'd been presenting rather blatantly. A deep sigh, the lioness clenched her eyes shut for several long seconds as if concentrating intensely. When opening them, she reverted to the same appearance as any other human, those feline features gone in an instant.<br/><br/>"Just a normal ass cat with an abnormal vamp." Lilly's tone had softened to be somewhat more causal, but clearly she was in no uncertain terms going to act like a housecat; she was a prideful lion through and through. Louis didn't have to answer Lilly for her to fill in the blanks with her own assumptions. If he was as he said, then he likely was a farmer, a derogatory term for vampires that fed off of animals and blood donations. Not that there was anything wrong with that in her eyes. Honestly, if she had to suffer the presence of his kind, the lioness demanded them to procure their sustenance in less than lethal manners.<br/><br/>"Alright, Louie," she began, pulling out her pack of cigarettes and repeating the process of her awful habit. A quick puff, she kept the cig between her fingers so as not to hamper her speech. "I won't say I don't want to hurt you, that'd be lying, but I can say that I won't act on it without cause." That was about as good as it got concerning Lilly and vampires. As for Salem, she knew of other shifters that were able to converse with their feral kin with certain traits and skills; Lilly possessed none of them. A huntress she was for very good reasons.<br/><br/>"A drink? Like alcohol?" An awkward, mild chuckle at a bad joke. The One Night Stand came to the forefront of her thoughts; if anywhere brought terrible memories bubbling up, it was that place. Hesitantly, she did reply after the brief pause. "Yeah, there's a popular haunt for meta's like us around these parts."<br/><br/>With how her night has gone so far, a stiff drink, or several did not sound like such a bad idea. Hopefully, none of the regs were there, or at least not the one that still gave Lilly nightmares. "I can show you the way, it's not a bar that's meant to be found under typical circumstances." Suddenly, there was a calamitous mess of noises not too far off from the pair, causing Lilly's head to snap in the direction of the source. Never a dull moment in these parts, that was a certainty. As it stood, however, Lilly was feeling like her "weird shit" quota had already been filled for the week. "I don't suppose you heard that too, Louie? And I don't suppose you're interested in such a brazen call to investigate?" Her cigarette was placed between her lips so she could rub at her temples with an almost silent sigh. All of this, and there was still her job to do later on, but there was no helping the chaos this city bathed in.<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>
