Lilith's head was beginning to clear from the fresh air when Chrystabel came out to the porch. She took a deep drag and sucked the smoke into her lungs, held it there for a moment before letting it simply slip out through barely parted lips. She nodded as she looked at Chrystabel although it was uncertain which of the slightly older witch's statements she responded to.<br/>"It takes a lot of energy though," she then said and took another drag on the cigarette.<br/>"And I get terrible headaches, migraines really, if I use my powers as much as I have since my first showdown with that demon you and your friends summoned."<br/>There was not a hint of blame in her voice.<br/>"And right now I feel like I could sleep for a thousand years. To be honest, Peggy's potions is what's got me through the last two days. I really need to ask her for the recipe, not that I think she'll part with it until her dying breaths."<br/>Lilith chuckled a little as it kind of sounded something a bored housewife would say after a dinner party.<br/>"And yea. I figured she was something other."<br/>Lilith was not quite sure what exactly a hag was but she had sensed something not quite Human from the old lady who sort of looked like every cliché image of witches. It was just the flying broom and pointy hat that was missing but Lilith was dead sure the old lady had one of each in her closet.<br/>"I just hope it will be worth the favours we owe her."<br/><br/>Lilith crushed the cigarette against the floorboards and then bent down to pick up the butt as if afraid to leave even as small a piece of herself as the saliva on the filter behind. She got up and went inside feeling that she might just be on the verge of making a new friend, not that she had many of those back in New York.<br/>"Y'know. I think we might just get along," she said as they entered back into the room where Sebastian was just about conscious enough to start putting things together,  not that any of it would make sense, Lilith imagined and knowing that the demon who had attached him had done so in her form she hung back near the door and let Chrystabel take the lead in answering his question.
