Just as Lilis had told Verse, she’d hired scribes to help her with her work. It didn’t help much though. Reports and other various papers still flooded into her office at a regular pace. Trying to catch up wasn’t going well for Lilis either. She’d fallen asleep at her desk for the third time in two months.

Verse's little 'temper mental problem' subsided as his clan's mating season ended. He decided to visit her, apologize and take her away. At night, when there wasn't any guards, he snuk in the palace to find the best routs to her office, he never took anything or left the general area of her room. But, he didn't have to sneak around this time and he knocked on her door.

Lilis nearly leapt out of her skin when someone knocked on the door to her office. She rubbed her eyes tiredly and just sat for a minute. She sighed before forcing herself out of her very uncomfortable chair and crossing to the door. She smothered a yawn as she opened the door, leaning against the doorframe.
“What?” She asked shortly, her eyes only half open. She was hungry and tired and irritable and she really wanted to slaughter someone on a practice court.

He smiled weakly, "I've come to ask you to escape with me." He offered a hand to her, hoping she was in a good enough mood to come with him.

Lilis rubbed her eyelids. “What? Why? Verse, I’ve hired scribes, but I’m still up to my eyeballs in work.” She said and looked up at him, but her resolve softened. “Oh okay.”
Caution is advised. Kaie said warningly. You haven’t fed in two weeks and I have not fed so well myself. At best, I’ll be a distraction.
Leave then and get something. Lilis sighed and took Verse’s hand. “Where are we going then?”

"To a restaurant I've been dying to show you all week. C'mon!" He wrapped his fingers around her hand and started running with her through the halls. He looked back at a point in case she was stumbling or having trouble.

Lilis was keeping up fine, she just didn’t look all that happy. “How did you make it to my office? I thought I had patrols set up! Eh, no matter. I’ll take care of that later.” She said and then sighed. “It’s nice to see you again. How have you been and what is this restaurant like?”

"I snuk in." He smiled back, "i've been wonderful and you'll love this place! But it's a surprise!" He grinned as he began to run.

“Snuck in, great. I’ll deal with that later.” She muttered darkly to herself and scowled. “I hate surprises.”
“Then you won’t like this.” Another voice said and a man a little taller than Lilis and whom looked a lot like her, hugged her. “Hi mom!”
“Ambrose? But you left with Constantine.”
“I came back to get to know you better.” He said with a smile and looked at Verse. “Sorry if I interrupted something.”
“It’s alright. I’m so happy that you’re back.” She said and hugged Ambrose. “Verse, this is my youngest son-“
“As of so far.” He chuckled.
“- Ambrose. He’s a knucklehead.”

Verse looked between them, then smiled, "Nice to meet you.' he offered his hand, yet, in teh pit of his stomach, the raising feeling of an awkward moment filled him.

Ambrose shook Verse’s hand and felt awkward. He chuckled nervously.
“I’m also the bad son who tried to kill his mother.” He said sheepishly. “Luckily, I didn’t succeed and now I’m back to make it up. So I’ll just go let myself into your office and help you with your reports. Bye mom! I’ll see you later!”
Ambrose trotted off down the hallway with a wave. Lilis watched him and then turned back to Verse.
“I still hate surprises.”

Verse sighed, "Very well, we're going to a new place that just opened up. They have fights in a small area while you dine and watch." He looked at her.

She smiled and poked his side. “See, that wasn’t so bad.” She said and kissed his lips lightly. “But that would have made a good surprise… I’m just not fond of not knowing what I may be getting myself into. Thank you Verse.”

“Yes!” She said and looped her arm through his. “I could do with a little slaughter over my meal. I wanted to do it enough times today myself. I don’t like stupidity and quite a few of these people act like babies.”

"Alright then." He put a hand on her's and led her out, "How have you been, other than bloodthirsty?" He joked with her.

“The usual. Overworked, overstressed, aggressively irritated, yes, that’s quite normal. I haven’t fed for about a month and a half and I’ve fallen asleep at my desk three times in two months. So I’m very hungry and very tired too.” She said as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

He sighed, "I hate that you do that to yourself..." He frowned at her, sad that she never really took care of herself.

“Do what?” She asked innocently. “I’m fine. I’ve suffered worse than fatigue before and having Kaie helps. My endurance is far greater now than it was without her. But I get your point. If you want to help me with my work maybe it wouldn’t happen as much and we could see each other more often.” She suggested. “Then you could make sure I take care of myself.”

He looked back and smiled, "Sure, I'd love to." He kissed her lips quickly.

Lilis snickered. “This means I can boss you around… nah, I won’t. I need someone to boss with.” She said and grinned wryly at Verse. “Soooo… Why did you come see me this time?” She gave him a mock suspicious look.

He smirked back, "You needed an escape." He chuckled and led her out of town.

“Aw darn. He knows my work is a prison… I’ll have to come up with another excuse now.” She said and rolled her eyes at him. “Okay, so how far is this place?”

He grinned as he led ehr off the road and to a large stone. There were many runes written on it and he touched a certain few in a certain order. It cahned into a portal and he stepped in, letting her take her time comming through.

Lilis hummed. She didn’t quite like that, but at least she recalled the runes Verse had used. Thinking of him, she remembered that she was making him wait on her. Lilis sighed and stepped through the portal with Verse.
“Hullo again.” She said and stuffed her hands into her pockets. “Fascinating little escapade.”
