Lilis sighed as she sat up. She wiped tears from her face because she'd been laughing so hard. She dried her face on her sleeve, looked over at Verse, and couldn't help but laugh some more. Lorn chose to walk in at that moment. He stopped and stared at Lilis. He'd never seen her laughing before... it frightened him a little so he left.

Verse looked at her, then smiled weakly. I changed to a grin before he chuckled with her.

“I’m sorry to laugh at you.” She apologized, recovering. She finally forced herself to stop and take drink. “Hm, well, thanks for the laugh. It’s the best I’ve had in a long time. Sorry I made you blush.”

Verse grinned, " Don't be, it's my pleasure." He took a drink himself and sighed gently.

"But if it were me, I wouldn't think so. I'd be rather offended." She said giving him that funny, you're-strange look again. She shook her head and smiled. "Thanks though. It's put me in a very good mood."

"Pleasures all mine." He chuckled, now no longer minding if his fangs showed.

Lilis just started shaking her head. "I really don't understand you. I think that if I'd done this when we first met, you'd be screaming at me right now. You aren't sick, are you? There's been a huge change in you between now and then. Or at least as much of a change as I can see from having only been in your company for a few minutes."

He frowned, "You don't like it? I can go back..." He was usually stern with people he didn't know, but once he felt comfortable with a person, he loosened up.... a lot.

"Well," Lilis frowned thoughtfully, "it's not that I don't like it, it's that you changed fast in a short period of time. I don't warm up to people very fast. I'm not nice to people very. There is one exception though. Children... otherwise it could take me a long time to warm up to a person... But you're magnetic. I can't escape you."

Verse looked at her, "Wh-what?"

She chuckled nervously and scratched her head. "Now that you're being so nice to me... I really like being with you. And unlike some people, you can have an intelligent conversation with me. You don't treat me like I'm stupid just because I'm female and because you're being so nice... Well, I'd like to get to know you more."

He smiled, "And I you, Lilis. You are a wonderful person, one who doesn't deserve being treated the way you do."

She grinned sheepishly at him. "Aw gee. That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in a long time. Thank you Verse."

He smirked, raising a brow, " That's not sarcasm, right?"

"Nope. It's one hundred percent sincere. It really is the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a very long time. I don't even get thank-yous from my co-workers."

He grinned, "I hope I'll be able to give more in the future."

Lilis shrugged. "It depends. The future is uncertain and I can't always break to talk to someone... or even to take care of myself." She winced, taking a drink. "Kaie gets very angry with me sometimes, usually if I've gone about a month without feeding or resting. It's hard working that much, but the papers never slow down and I'm far behind." She rubbed her eyes and groaned.

He rested his hand on her's, "You mustn't work yerself so hard... It worries me..."

She looked over at him suspiciously. "You're consorting with her... " She accused and then smiled to show she was only teasing. "Your concern is noted... I promise I'll hire some scribes."

"I... I mean for you to take a break." He bit his lip, hoping he didn't offend her.

She sighed. “Oh… I take at least one break a day…“ She said and avoided looking at Verse. “I go out to the practice courts and yell at some people… I beat up others.”

He sighed, "You know that's not what I mean. You're gonna hurt yourself one day doing all this. I cannot bear to see you doing this..."

“I’ll be fine. I’ve gone longer in the corps than I have now.” She replied with a smile.

Lilis huffed and propped her head on her fists. “You’re as bad as Kaie… but I understand why she’d be worried about me.” She said, frowning at the wall. “Why are you so worried about me?”
