"Very well, Lady Lillian.  I'll...I will try to not overreact.  I'm just not certain what to do at the moment."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><div class="floatleft">(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3985/lilianmontague.jpg)</div><strong>Lillian Montague</strong>, Beneath an Ancient Oak [Sylria the Elf & Lillian Montague]<br/><br/>Lillian wrapped her arms around Sylria once she came over. "Bella is my best friend, in all the world. I have much. Wealth and power because of my blood...the adoration of many who would be me. I even have the longest list of suitors in the country, and the privilege of spurning each and every one of them. But friends I hold dear and close to me. I don't want anything more from you than for you to exist beside me. Bella and I could use a new friend and companion...someone who could be close to us both, without causing trouble between us."<br/><br/>She kissed Sylria on the back of the head, and reached forward to pull the hair from the elven girl's face, depositing it behind her long, pointed ear. "I would like that to be you, Sylria, as I've said before. And that is the truth," she said, with finality.<br/><br/>"Now, before I got distracted, you said there were other things that bothered you, my dear?" Lillian still touched Sylria's skin, or laid her head here and there on the girl's shoulder, but it felt more casual and natural. There was no pretext of seduction, or intimacy...nothing beyond what might be shared between two sisters, revealing the secrets of their days to each other by candlelight before bed.<br/>
