The warped elf sighed softly, gazing down at the people on the deck with a bored expression. She had listened and watched Foran berate Verita, and heard the girl cast all blame aside. Then the ramen threw a little tantrum. It was all fairly dull to Lilith. It seemed to her they made drama simply for the sake of it, and she had no love for woes and weakness. Verita however seemed to love it, with how quickly she went from all theatric to distracted by the elf's serpent. Lilith really wished that was a sexual innuendo, but alas, Verita's affection for the creature could only have been born of curiousity. The Ashen Elf flicked her tail annoyed, and began to climb down the rigging. There was something compelling her to follow Verita in specific. An invisible leash that could pull Lilith to her knees in front of the girl should Verita desire it. The thought felt both strangely alluring, as well as insulting. So fragile, so weak, so timid. All that power but none of the will!<br/><br/>Lilith dropped to the deck as they entered the mouth of the cave, a dull thud accompanied with a dull crack of one of her legs going through the wood announcing her presence to Verita and Tyora as she landed behind the pair. Grumbling, the ashen elf freed her leg before straightening herself. Her head slightly tilted as she regarded Verita.<i>"Iost estela, Vanim."</i>Lilith said while looking toward Verita, apparently having caught the girl's words.<i>"Hope is the blade with which despair cuts into the heart, peace is not our fate so know that this town is doomed from the start."</i>The warped elf sounded almost mournful, but as she turned her attention to Tyora a bit of playfulness crept back into her voice.<i>"Entwined with a serpent, surely your return home isn't urgent, hmmm?"</i><br/><br/>In no mood to elaborate on her cryptic rhymes, Lilith left the two behind and walked towards the stairs belowdeck, meeting Dawn halfway on the ship's deck and stopping dead in her tracks. The warped elf's catlike ears were perked up as she regarded Dawn, blocking the woman's path towards Verita and Tyora. The elf regarded her with a curiousity and a proximity that felt eerily similar to the Lilith nearly molested Dawn. Finally, the demonic elf seemed satisfied with what she saw.<i>"Still strong I see, no... stronger... Still beautiful too... Nrrrrr..."</i>She leaned in, and if Dawn didn't evade her or step away from the warped elf, she'd find Lilith's lips gently pressing against her own in a soft, sensual kiss. There was no hunger in it. Just... respect and adoration. Whatever Dawn had done, apparently it had pleased the ashen elf enough to think more of her.<br/><br/>Pulling away or simply letting Dawn be, Lilith continued her journey belowdecks, following Foran into the darkness much like he had followed her into the depths of the hold seven days ago. Though she was far more familiar with the dark, and believed herself to be the better of the two so she was unlikely to end up in a similarly poor position as Foran had. The comparison was lost on Lilith however, who couldn't even recall the encounter. She easily found the ramen in pitch darkness of the hold where she had first made her nest onboard the ship. Drinking and ranting while he let his anger flow. The pathetic sight amused the warped elf, who simply sat by and watched Foran's antics from a distance.<br/><br/>It was only when Foran fell onto his back that Lilith made her appearance to the man in the form of two glowing orbs in the darkness. Her burning eyes uncovered, their red light like the devouring heart of a fire, ever hungry. Looming over the mumbling raven, Lilith's unseen lips were twisted into a smile. "<i>Pooor pooor Foran. Weeping and moaning over the fate of the dead, does he not know that life has fled? Such sorrow. Such pain. A beast trapped in the skin of a man, unable to figure out how the end began. Don't cry Foran..."</i>The Ramen could feel the warped elf's body press against his own as those red orbs of her drew closer to his face.<i> "Dusk has set on the world, into darkness it will be hurled. Soothe your pain, Foran, all that is will soon fade with the rain. The girl that carries inside her the flame heralds the end,  into darkness the world will descend. All that breathes will breathe no more, and I..."</i><br/><br/>The warped elf briefly fell silent, and the pain in her voice as she resumed speaking was almost unlike her.<i>"I will be wandering the ashes of an era soon to be forgotten once again, like so long ago..."</i>Lilith closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Was she crying? There was an uncomfortable pause before the ashen elf opened her eyes again and slid away from the Ramen. Her tattoos now glowing a deeply red, and illuminating the hand she offered to him to pull him up.<i>"Come, Foran. The world will not wait on you, but up on the deck there is a soul that yet needs you, though she will not say, she needs you to keep the dark at bay. Until it is time to let it in and feast, anyway."</i>Should Foran accept Lilith's aid or not, the ashen elf would soon lose interest either way. Moving back to the upper deck to rejoin the others already there.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
