There was a sound between a growl and a purr, low and dangerous-sounding as Foran moved away from the door to back up against a wall. Wood creaked ominously with the rolling of the ship on the waves, or perhaps with the moving of the elf. It was hard to tell, and Lilith might be a cunning enough predator to time her movements well, though that hadn't seemed the elf's style. Then again, Foran hadn't seen her stalking yet, only in battle. There was a creaking, and a loud crash to Foran's close right as a cabinet with pottery fell over sending it's contents scattering over the floor. The noise would feel deafening amidst the silence as before, and as the noice trailed off, Foran could catch the tail end of Lilith's honing laughter.<br/><br/>Yet despite the noise so close to him, there was no attack, no lunge from the darkness to strike at the ramen. Perhaps Lilith had simply knocked the rack over to frighten Foran and get him to betray his position. This seemed increasingly more likely as silenced wrapped it's thick embrace around the hold again until all that remained was the sound of their breath, the wood and the waves. Seconds passed, perhaps minutes, until a haunting voice suddenly began to sing.<i>"One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a Ramen alive"</i>It proved impossible to tell where the sing-song tune's source was, but it felt too damn close.<br/><br/><i>"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, but then I didn't let it go again."</i>Lilith continued her eerily warped version of a children's rhyme with a strange eagerness in her voice. Foran might feel an unease growing in his gut, as his instincts picked up warnings signs beyond those of the five senses.<i>"Do you know whyyy?" </i>Came the warped elf's voice out of the darkness again. If there was music playing, it would reach a quiet crescendo now as the foreboding silence tensed up.<i>"Because..."</i>There was a beat, and then Foran felt hot breath wash over his neck while Lilith whispered in his ear.<i>"...Upon me he did spy."</i><br/><br/>Should Foran flail around trying to catch the warped elf so close to him, he'd hear only a mocking laughter ring in his ears as his claws cut nothing but air, like the sound of a mad cat cackling. A cacophony of noise rang up as Lilith apparently rushed away from the ramen, knocking over crates and and bottles to cover her escape. Yet this noise lasted only a brief moment, leaving only a quiet giggle in the air and the Ramen with a rough sense of Lilith's position.<br/><br/>The warped elf must be getting sloppy, as Foran could make out her shifting a bit in her hiding spot. He had a good sense of her location, but Lilith constant giggling might create a doubt within Foran's skull. The elf had been overconfident before, but her stalking and toying behaviour now seemed so radically different. In any case, if he rushed to the door, Foran could probably get out before Lilith could catch him.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
