Burris sighed and looked at her, "That doesn't mean she couldn't be a bit more considerate. That's going to get her in real trouble one day."

Everyone laughed. "Like it hasn't already? I love trouble, it lets me get angry... safely." Lilis said and looked at Burris. "Besides, killing is fun, especially slowly."

Burris scoffed, "Not if you run into Ryhe, I doubt you'll love that you sick whore." He sneered and looked at the demons.

Lilis gritted her teeth. "I'm not a whore." She repeated and turned her back to him to keep from saying more.
Dev and Kaie watched quietly. Kaie knew better to say anything to her. Dev was just afraid to.
~ Do you really have to keep picking at her? She's trying very hard not to lose her last bit of patience and tolerance with you. She has paperwork to look forward to once she leaves. ~

"Like I said, bitting before she bites me." He looked at her, a look of sorry on his face. He sighed and turned to her, "Look, ma'am... I'm sorry..."

"You say it," Lilis spoke softly, "do you mean it?"

"Yes, I know what it's like... the only place I'm accepted in is the house I built myself. If any other vampire sees me, they try to kill me for my tusk. I can't help but be snippy."

Lilis looked back at him, an eyebrow arched in disbelief. "That seems like a really stupid reason to try to kill you." She said and shook her head. "But then again, many things are stupid. You have my apologies as well."

The troll smiled, "I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions anymore, eh? Nearly got me killed." He chuckled nervously.

"Perhaps not." Lilis agreed with a smile. "So what were you doing out here... before I interrupted?"

"I was gathering herbs to help my son. We're on a hunting trip and he fell ill. He's with my friend who came along with us, but I fear it may be serious." He frowned.

"I have some healing abilities. What is his illness like?" She asked, facing him now.

"His neck's swollen and he has a fever. Every breath, it hurts, or so he tells me. I'm kinda worried, none of my friend's techniques work." He looked to his dropped basket of herbs and walked to it, picked them up.

"Does he have spots in his throat that are white or yellow?" She asked, trying to figure what the boy might have. "It sounds a little like strep. Does he have any other symptoms, like a cough, rash, or rasp?"
Dev shook his head and began to fade away. ~ You found her weakness. Lilis loves children. ~
Kaie returned to Lilis and Dev disappeared.

"Great meeting you two." He waved before they vanished. He looked back to Lilis, "White spots, and his voice is a bit grainy and he's coughing a little. Is strep really serious? Will he be okay?" The troll worried for his only son.

Lilis shrugged offhandedly. "It could be serious depending on the strain and how far he's progressed into it. What have you tried so far?"

"We noticed he looked flushed this morning and he couldn't get out of bed. We tried cooling him down and some medicine, but no dice. He was like how I described when I left, and that was a hour ago." Burris stood with the basket and looked to her.

"Would you mind if I had a go? If I can't find a medicine to help him, I'll heal him myself." Lilis offered and watched Burris.

He smiled, "It would be much appreciated, you're help means a lot." He gestured to his right, then started leading her to his camp.

Lilis didn't reply and followed silently behind him. She thought about the various illnesses that she had encountered and the ones that she had studied. For some, there were rememdies, for others... well, you just had to hope that you could find a good healer. She liked children.

In a few minutes, a small campsite, two big tents and a fire in front of them . Burris stopped, "Uh..."
A pair of large, muscular arms suddenly grabbed Lilis, putting a knife to her neck.
Burris sighed, "Ryhe, let her-"
"Burris, do you really want to put John in danger?" Said a deep voice, accented with Scottish like form.

Kaie merged out of Lilis and glared down at Ryhe. The demon stared silently. Lilis held still, she could slip out of his grasp if she wanted, but that would only make him more suspicious.
"Now what could I possibly do to a sick boy?" Lilis asked in a voice that almost purred and then growled. "Let me go..."

Ryhe thought for a moment, then let go, "Pardon me, but you canna be too careful." He smiled weakly.
Burris looked to the tents, "How's he doing?"
Ryhe looked back too, " I gave him some water and he resting... but I'm not sure."

“Caution is well advised but only against me if you have the bad luck to fight me.” Lilis replied and Kaie backed off. “So are we all going to stand out here, gabbing our heads off? Or would someone be kind enough to show me to this boy?”

"Right." Ryhe and Burris said in unison. Burris led her there while Ryhe stood on the outskirts of the camp. The troll led her into one and he walked in a bit, kneeling by his son.
John opened his eyes as he felt his father's hand on his head and he coughed. The boy looked more human than Burris, but tusks were still in his mouth and his skin was dark teal, like his father. The older troll petted his black hair and looked up to Lilis.
