Lt. Connel
Connel was getting frustrated with Grey now. He eyed off his unnatural display of flexibility, and one on one he would have already beatten him had he been able to actually use his full powers. But it seemed every hit the boy inflicted, or Connel dished his out his magical reserves were draining.


The feint jab with the pommel of his short sword made him take a step back to dodge, but in doing so he had his weight fully on his forward leg. The leg Grey then dropped to swing and topple him over.


As fate would have it and the Connel crashed onto his back, Alicia fired her drunken sound blast once more, only Connel was completely out of harms way now and the blast was directed straight at Grey. In the confusion to weither or not it may hit, Connel had already rolled to the side and leapt up. With low magic reserves and a few nasty sore spots on his body he had to either end this fast or retreat to think of a different plan of attack.


And the easiest way to accomplish both was with a hostage.


He charged at a blank faced Lilith and before she even knew it he had fisted her long brown hair and shoved her up to a weak stand, facing towards the other two with his curved sword now resting precariously against her exposed neck as he reefed her head back to almost lean against his shoulder. Making her back arch painfully as she was taller.


Lilith's eyes went huge and for a moment she gasped as if to scream, but he only dug the blade in deeper to her neck, causing a trickle of blood as it slightly broke the skin.


"Another sound and that will be the last one you ever make...." He hissed into her ear before glaring at Grey, whatever state he was in, and the drunken butterfly.


"Make even a flicker of a movement and you may just startle me... and, my grip isn't the best... not sure what I'd do ..." Pressing the blade harder for emphasis. A manical grin crossing his lips.

Grey Grey was about to attack the fallen Connel but was interrupted by Alicia's sonic blast. Diving out of the way he managed to avoid the worst of it, though he didn't escape entirely. Standing up, his ears popping Grey saw Connel holding his sword to Lil's throat. His mind began to work rapidly as he tried to figure out a way to deal with the situation. He certainly was fast and he could close the distance between them in a blink, but he didn't know if he was fast enough to prevent Connel from slitting her throat and he wasn't about to let that happen. That said, there really wasn't all that much he could do right now, none of his ranged weapons would be fast enough either, especially given the time needed to prepare them. As such, Grey faced Connel, ready to make a move at any second, but restraining himself as he glared coldly back.

Lilith Tennant
Lilly was in a daze, alcohol still flooded her system and the world spun to the point she could barely see straight. Was that the alcohol though or was that the adrenaline, the fear that had her paralyzed?


She was keenly aware of something cold touching her throat, a blade pressing down, stinging gently. Slowly the shock was wearing and her emerald eyes were focusing in. Her hands once hanging limply by her side, now fingers flexing subtly. The Lt. was probably too busy to notice her slow change, her reawakening, as he glared Grey down.


Lilith's back was still arched in a painful restrictive manner. Even as unobservant as she, realising Lt Connel was using her as a shield, to prevent any damage to himself. Her gaze drifted to Grey then. Saying nothing but.... her facial expression was changing. She was loosing the fear now, and with the tiniest of movements, she lifted two fingers on her right side, furtherest from the Lt. Almost to say, get ready Grey.


Then Lilith grunted as she threw her hands back and reached behind her to fist into both Connel's shirt and coat.


Connel's eyes snapped back to her.


The surprise too fast, Lilith's arms bulged as she curled forward and lifted the man completely off his feet, throwing him over her shoulder, and slamming him down back first with a resounding thud. His sword grip loosened, sending the blade flying across the alleyway.


@Mykinkaiser @Mitchs98

Grey Grey noticed the small flicker of movement as Lil raised her fingers and was subsequently ready as she threw the man to the ground. Instantly he darted forwards, placing a knee on Connel's chest and bearing down heavily as he simultaneously slammed the man's head to the ground with his left hand and held the blade of his sword to his throat with his right, his touch draining the man of his mana with each passing second. Without taking his eyes off of the man he addresses Lil in a voice marked by a complete lack of emotion, as if it belonged to a machine, "Would you like to be rid of him?"


Personally, Grey was all for killing him here and now and therefore just being done with him. However, the one this man had truly hurt was Lil and as such it was her right to decide his fate, not Grey's. However, even if she did tell him not to kill Connel Grey was not going to let him off lightly. In fact, should she choose he die it would likely be much less painful for him than the alternative.

Alicia Red

Alicia shrugged as the blast hit Grey, "Meh." She mumbled indifferently. Again, Grey was tough. He'd be alright. Probably. Hopefully. He wasn't spasming on the ground with multiple injuries..so he'd be fine for sure. Her current concern was the predicament Lily was in. She couldn't do anything to help, at all, especially in her drunken haze. She possibly could if she wasn't drunk, but she doubted it. Soon enough the situation resolved itself as Lilith snapped out of it and decked the guy. "Weeew! Gu Lileth!" Alicia cheered, raising her fist in the air before promptly falling forward onto her face; unconcious.

Lilith Tennant


Lilly was heaving, adrenaline still coursing through her veins. Her knuckles white as her fists were clenched. Her gaze peered down to Connel, now restrained and gasping out in a mixture of pain, frustration and anger.


Her eyebrows narrowed down dangerously now she had overcome her fear, almost happy to see him in such a pitiful state. Restrained and in agony, being drained of his mana leaving him weak and useless.


Helpless.


Much like he had made her.


Lilith crouched down then her head coming closer to Connel and with a resounding smack she slapped the man with such force there was an audible crack as his jaw broke.


His crimson eyes stunned.


"I want him to feel helpless. I want him to scream and writhe in agony like he did to me. I want him to suffer..." Finally lifting her eyes to look to Grey with a steady, fecious gaze. "I want him to wish he was dead..." Here she stood and promtly turned her back on him, walking to a now passed out Alicia.


With ease Lilly grasped the winged girl and hoisted her gently over her shoulder, before giving Grey one last nod and walking back inside. Leaving him be while she went back to the table the had orginially been seated to retrieve her sword.

Grey

Grey still doesn't take his eyes off of Connel as Lil spoke to him, merely nodding mechanically. However, as soon as Lil heads back into the tavern a thin, spine-chilling smile spreads across Grey's face as he sets his shortsword down and draws his boot knife.


Some time later Grey walks back into the Tavern, ominously spattered with blood and with his expression back to his normal tired one. He sits down at the table and faces Lil, "It's done," he says simply before pouring himself a tankard of ale and taking a sip.


Should one venture back into the alleyway they would come across the horrific sight of Grey's handiwork. Connel has been reduced to a state in which he's almost unrecognizable as a human and it would be a hardy person who could look at him without vomiting or passing out. Just by looking at him one can tell that he was subjected to incredibly cruel torture at the hands of someone skilled in the craft. Somehow, Connel is still alive, though not for long, as he was left to live out his final moments in supreme agony, blinded and unable to hear, speak, or move, a perfect hell both physically and mentally.

Lilly came to the booth in the very corner, where her sword till rested against the wall in the same place she left it. It wasn't that surprising as the sword was enchanted to be far too heavy for any sane person to weild.


Still it was a comfort to sit next to it once more.


Shifting slowly she placed Alicia to lie down on the booth seat, her head nestled in the tall woman's lap. Slowly her fingers ran through the girl's hair, letting her sleep.


As Grey walked in and sat it took her some time to lift her gaze from the sleeping girl to look at him. She wasn't sure what to say, then. Like words were lodged in her throat.


She noticed the blood over him, but took no heed. She had been covered worse in her battle's from time to time. She whispered then, soft, almost unheard as her gaze drifted down to the bar table.


"Thank you Grey..."


She wanted to tell him she couldn't imagine how she would be feeling had Lt. Connel actually pulled through with his surprise attack. She wasn't sure if she could deal with it again..


"You saved my life..." The corner of her lips turning up gently.


Then she glanced to the side, almost shyly though she wasn't familiar with the emotion.


"Should we head back to the Alchemist Shop? I think you deserve a bath and some semblance of sleep... For a guy who loves to nap, you've been awake for days now..." The tiniest hint of worry in her voice.


MEANWHILE BACK AT THE PLOT


He threaded his fingers, legs dangling off the edge of the tavern roof, peering down to the pile of meat, blood and bone tucked in a corner of the alleyway. At least the transmutation held for the battle... He played his part well.


"How very interesting..." Palms glowing gently as they touched. "What a low level, idiot solider..."


"Still..." Pausing in thought.


"A surprise attack is not going to work on Lilith now... Not with that man and that butterfly girl surrounding her... I'm going to have to secure a different power source before I can tackle that group again..."


Crimson eyes lifting to peer to the horizon. "I think it's about time I acquire that hydra..."

Grey

"Thank you" those words felt good to hear, "You saved my life" he actually made a difference to someone. That was everything wasn't it? Meaning something to someone? At this point it truly felt like he had done the right thing by staying and there was no chance he was going to let go again. Nothing was going to make him let go and damned be those that try to make him for you see, Grey's brokenness hadn't disappeared by any means, it simply changed. It had morphed into a nigh-obsessive desire to keep Lil safe, to keep people from hurting her. It wasn't really about combat, after all she could very much handle herself. Rather, it was about bastards like Connel, the ones that try to really hurt her. To those people he would spare no quarter and, by god, he would have fun doing it. Because he was keeping her safe. Because he meant something. Because he was keeping his promise. Because she was that important.


Grey drains the rest of his ale, a wave of tiredness washing over him as Lil mentions the fact that he'd been up far too long. With all the adrenaline of recent events and his vigil he supposed that he had in fact been up for a few days. He looks back at Lil and gives a small, tired smile, "A bath and a bed does sound nice..." he says, beginning to sway slightly in his seat.

Lilith Tennant


Lilly peered down to the butterfly girl as she continued to sleep, the poor thing really couldn't process her alcohol. And even though Lilith had downed half a Keg with ease, and had lost her balance before, the recent battle with Lt Connel had all but cleared her of her drunken haze and she seemed back to normal.


With a silent nod, she slid herself from the booth and bent down, spreading her legs into a squat before manovuring the short girl onto her back and hoisting her up piggy back style. Lilith was craving extra hands now, but she bent at the waist to keep her steady on her back, while one hand held onto her huge 6Foot sword, tip almost dragging a pace behind her.


Her other hand snaked out then to touch Grey's shoulder, to get his attention before gesturing to leave, before that same hand reached down to clasp her fingers into his own, entwining with his fingers.


Slowly she lead Grey back, managing to impressively piggy back a girl, hold her sword and hold Grey's hand till she came before her brother's shop once again. Banging her hip to open the front door, she winced at it slammed open, cracking a hinge or two.


She placed her sword on the corner of the first floor, nearest to the door, letting her grip on Grey's hand drop before stepping up to the third floor where the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom was.


She walked to the couch she had slept the night before and placed Alicia down, tucking a blanket under her chin like a mother would, snuggling in. For such a hard warrior she seemed quite delicate at times. Mostly to her brother Kylios, Alicia and now Grey.


Once she was tucked in she moved to the bedroom and swung the door open to lead Grey in. "Here, this is the main bedroom, bathroom through there, towels on right. Just grab whichever of Kylios's clothing fit..." noticing all the disorganised piles she had created from his neatly stacked pile.


"Bath, clothes then sleep. I don't want to see you surface for at least 8 hrs..."


She gave Grey a warm smile, before closing the door behind her leaving him in peace.


She toddled back down to the first floor, putting the giant sword onto the counter in the middle of the room and proceeded to pull out a stone to start sharpening it to a razor finish.

Grey

Grey lets himself be dragged along to the alchemy shop and, had he had enough energy, he might have been impressed by Lil's feats in carrying a drunk fairy, her sword, and holding his hand. But alas, he didn't have the energy to do so. As he was lead into the bathroom he nodded to Lil as she shut the door before drawing himself a bath, undressing, and climbing in. He had really pushed himself hard over the last few days and thus the bath was very welcome, maybe too welcome in fact as he started to get very drowsy. He wondered if he should get out and into a bed but ultimately decided that he didn't have enough energy to truly care and that since he was comfortable in the bath it was as good a place to sleep as any. With that Grey decision made Grey promptly fell asleep in the bath. Whether he woke up or someone wanting to use the bath found him first was entirely up for debate.


The last few days, while hard, were well worth it. For years he had tormented himself with guilt over their deaths and while that guilt wasn't gone by any means and he would probably never fully get over their deaths, but it was at least a bit easier to bear. It was all because now he had the chance to do something worthwhile and he could never thank Lil enough for giving him that, for not letting him run away like usual. In return, he would do whatever he could to make her happy, she definitely deserves it after all. He truly was grateful to her but most of all, he was relieved. Relieved to finally have someone to talk to again, someone who wanted him there, someone who told him he meant something when he knew he didn't.


He was happy to finally have a friend again.

Lilith Tennant


The tall warrior lost herself for a few hours as Alicia and, hopefully Grey, napped and slept peacefully. It occured to her she should really take up Grey's love for naps but she always liked to keep herself busy.


As she sharpened her prized blade a few curse words did slip from her soft lips, there were dents and weathered spots all over it and her Master would have knocked her into next week had he seen how bad she had gotten her sword.


She was just finishing the very tip of the blade to a razor sharp edge, when her mind drifted to an orc horde battle from years ago... A soft, happy smile appeared as her eyes glazed, what a battle that had been... screams of a Orc Warload trying to rally his troops while she ran in without a second thought....limbs flying every which way... a decapitated head here... a hand pile there... Eventually standing with her boot resting triumphantly on the Warload's severed head, sword raised high..


What a fight...


In her day dreaming her sharpening stroke missing and her right palm barely ran along the edge of the blade. She blinked and glanced down at the tiniest of stings, barely noticeable but then...


The blood.


As with most razor sharp surfaces, it was deep almost instantly and with a flavourful curse, she clenched her other hand around the cut palm to try and steam the flow. She leapt up (heart pounding probably not the best idea when one was bleeding heavily) and jumped up the stairs two at a time. She shoulder charged at the bedroom door, and in her panic to find a towel, she completely forgot Grey was in here, fast asleep, somewhere. No; she wasn't smart enough for that...


She glanced to the mass of piles of clothes and groaned out in an annoyed fashion, her palm truly starting to sting and blood trickling down her arm now. "Towel...need a... towel.." She said in a panicked fluster, running into the bathroom now as she once again, obliviously ignored the bath and a sleeping Grey, instead going straight to the sink to wash the wound under cold water. Only a moment before she snatched at a hand towel and applied pressure to the palm...


Another hissing curse escaped now as the hand towel was turning from white to red. Just unable to put enough pressure on the wound herself to stem the flow.

Lt. Connel


The crimson eyed man was walking casually at the very edge of the forest where he had last heard reports a bear man, a normal man and an elf had disappeared to. While the two men weren't important, he was keenly looking forward to finding this apparent hydra and somehow parting her from her group.


A hand rested on his chin as a few ideas came to mind on how to seperate them.. eventually he settled on the innocent bystander route. He consciously cowered his shoulders and doned a very convincing scared boy look, peeling the dark cloak from his face to make himself seem as innocent as possible. They didn't know who he was and had never met him before...


He saw movement up ahead and finally jogged the distance that closed in between himself and the group. Approaching with hands on knees and breathing like he had run a mile, he looked up before his eyes peered shakingly to all three, finally resting on the woman last.


"P....please!! Y...you have to help me! There is some girl in town who has gone completely crazy!! She... She weilds this huge sword!" Gesturing his arms wide to ellaborate before continuing. "She wears heavy armor! She keeps screaming something about a true challenge! Y..you have to help me!" Finally ludging forward to grasp at the elf's hands, softly holding them as he pleaded up into her eyes.

Grey

Grey hazily comes back to consciousness, someone was in the room with him. He groggily looks up to see Lil holding a towel to a deep-looking cut on her palm. Grey stretches


and yawns, reluctantly waking himself further. "Nasty looking cut you've got there," he comments sleepily, climbing out of the tub, either not caring or not really noticing that he's naked. To be honest, either one is definitely a possibility. It's sometimes a miracle that Grey remembers to put on clothes before going outside after just waking up. Either way, he's quite naked and sure as hell isn't covering up yet. He grabs a larger towel and begins to dry his hair off, asking "How'd you get it?" in a conversational tone as if they were discussing something trivial.

Willow the Hydra

Willow stopped in her tracks, her gaze immediately snapping to the newcomer. She listened intently on what he had to say, donning a serious expression on her face. She knew that this had to be serious by both the way he was acting and the look on his face. Her eyes widened at the description, and she simply whispered, "Lilith."


She looked to the side, a haze over her eyes. But she didn't think it was her place to intervene with that woman. After all, clashing with her would lead to the total destruction of what was left of the city. Her gaze drifted lazily back to the man, and she knew that she had to help, at least in some way. "Forrest, Magnus, let me handle this. I'll... be back soon I suppose," she said, not taking her eyes off of him.


She exhaled deeply while she closed her eyes momentarily. "Alright, let's go," she said in a defeated tone, opening her eyes back up to look at him. She gave him the slightest of reassuring smiles, hoping it might encourage him to keep hope.

Lilith Tennant


The tall warrior was struggling with each passing moment as the towel stained red with her blood... at least she had tested it was sharp... Still facing the bathroom sink her back completely straightened when she heard water from behind her slosh about and then Grey's voice a moment later.


Too scared to move, she simply held out her hand out to the side into his view with arm still dripping blood.


"I.... I was sharpening my sword... but I slipped.... Where I did it, I can't seem to bandage it or stem the flow on my own..."


Her voice quietening down to an almost whisper.


"I'm... sorry I woke you Grey but... c.. could you bandage it for me?..."





@Mykinkaiser

 

[Mykinkaiser]

Grey

Grey might not be a medical professional but he at least knows how to properly bandage a wound. That much is pretty much necessary for a mercenary because generally you're pretty far from proper medical help when you're getting injured the most. As such, he hardly panicked over Lil's cut , rather he asks"Do you have anything to use or is a towel alright?" in reply. He wonders why she's stuttering for a moment before realizing that he's naked. With that revelation his wraps the towel around his waist, though it really isn't all that much better in the end. "You can turn around," he says to Lil as he walks over and takes her arm to look at the wound more closely. He briefly marveled over how sharp her sword must be before gabbing another hand towel and pressing it to the cut as he waits for Lil's response.

Lilly blinked as she still faced the bathroom sink, glancing around the shelving momentarily. As it was her brother's house not her own she really had no clue where he would keep a First Aid kit, if he even had one around with all his potions.


He said it was ok to turn around and even before she had done so fully she felt his hand's grab at her arm gently, lifting her palm up a fraction as if inspecting. While he marvelled at the depth and clean cut like a surgeon's scapel, Lilly was marvelling at the softness of his hands and again she was struck how gentle he was.


Every movement he ever did combined with that calm, soft voice was something so foreign to the rough gestures, the back slaps and the shoulder grips she was used to.


Even being half naked before her, an arms width away, she didn't mind him being so close. It didn't feel threatening like she always felt around men without her armor.


"If Kylios has bandages then.. I am unsure where he keeps them... a towel should surfice..."


Her green eyes watching his face curiously. Watching him watching her hand. Trying to read his expressions but like most times he was unreadable.


"Master trained me in the precision to sharpen my blade to a pinpoint..." as if that somehow explained the questioning nature of his eyes.

Alicia Red

After a while Alicia woke up with a groan and a massive headache. Mayybe drinking that much wasn't a good idea, even if she didn't actually drink that much. So what, she was a lightweight when it came to booze. Big deal. She laid there for several minutes before deciding she should probably go to the bathroom, she really doubted Lilith would be happy for a wet couch. Hopping off said couch she shambled to the bathroom, of course she immediately saw a basically naked Grey and a bleeding Lilith. Now, normally she'd make some kind of joke but the wound looked fairly serious. "What happened?" She asked, trying to ignore Grey and his nakedness.

Grey

Grey immediately rips the towel he's holding into appropriate sized strips and binds the cut as effectively as he can with them, staunching or at least heavily slowing the bleeding. Just as he finishes up with this Alicia comes into the room and asks what happened. "She cut herself sharpening her sword," Grey replies while inspecting Lil's newly bandaged hand before releasing it. Guessing at Alicia's purpose Grey gathers up his clothes and begins to walk out of the bathroom, motioning for Lil to follow. He has no desire to watch Alicia go about her business after all.

Lil silently kept her eyes on Grey's face the entire time he is ripping the towel into portions, mechanically tightening it around her hand, lessening the flow the blood. He was probably so focused on redressing the wound he wouldn't even have noticed her staring at him. While keeping her gaze on Grey, she nodded to aid Alicia in her question.


"It... was bleeding heavily but... it's stopped now..."


When he gestured she flowed suit. Closing the door behind her to allow her some peace. Lil then walked to sit down at the edge of the bed, hands in her lap as she peered to the neatly wrapped make-shift bandage on her palm.


Lost in her own thoughts. Which she detested because thinking gave her a headache, and frankly she was feeling things she didn't quiet understand either. Eyebrows furrowing down in confusion.

Alicia blinked. She cut herself sharpening her sword? How was that even possible...hng, nope. Thinking about confusing things while suffering through a hangover headache was bad. When Lilith explained a bit more she nodded, "Oh. I see. You should be more careful, you're lucky Grey was there to help you." She told her. Once they left she did her thing and soon exited the bathroom, of course she followed the small trail of blood to the bedroom and peeked in with a small smile on her face. Those two clearly liked each other but neither wanted to admit it, Lilith she could see why, but Grey confused her. Though, Lilith would probably go ham on Grey if he tried anything..so that was a factor too. A plan formulated she grabbed her gem and held it out towards Lilith. She transferred a bit of happy energy to her in a small subtle beam of green light, just enough to make her cut loose and maybe confess and all that nice shit if Alicia was lucky. Of course...she could make more than just that happen, but she didn't want to be wrong about Grey liking her and Lilith more or less rape him. So..yeah. The deed done, she sat back and watched the show in silence.

After leaving the bathroom, unaware of Alicia firing her happy-beam at Lil, Grey figures that he should probably get dressed before he forgets. While this might seem like an odd problem to have it has happened to Grey before. Thus far he's managed to always remember his pants when going out but he's been spotty on his upper body. Though this really only occurs when he's much more tired than usual, which he currently is. Either way, he's learned that it's simply a good idea for him to get dressed quickly, while he remembers to. As such he pulls his pants and boots on before turning back to grab his shirt before realizing that Lil still has it on. He shrugs mentally, deciding that he doesn't necessarily need a shirt at the moment nor, by extension, does he need his coat either.

Lil continued to stare to her palms as they crossed in her lap with that same furrowed brown and confused look on her face. She glanced over as Grey had just finished getting dressed, still half frowning she spoke.


"Hey Grey I..." She didn't get to finish her sentence though as that was the moment Alicia fired off her, whatever beam. Lil didn't notice that part but what she did notice was that her heart started thundering in her chest to the point she could barely hear anything but the drum drum drum in her ears.


Blinking and her eyes going wider as she stared to Grey her cheeks suddenly flustered a bright red and her fingers started to twitch almost nervously. Though she wasn't sure of that emotion.


She felt kind of...light headed. And this weird fluttering in her tummy... similar to the excitement she felt running head long into battle sword raised. But it was... different.


She didn't know what this feeling was but frankly she was scared of it.


She tried to stand in a hurry, but the world started to spine. Racing heart, loss of blood.... Quite suddenly she felt her knees start to buckle and she half called out in fear. "G...Grey!"

Grey

Grey turns to Lil as she begins to speak, only to trail off with her eyes growing wide and he cheeks flushing. "You alright there?" Grey asks, concern beginning to color his voice as he isn't sure what's happening to Lil that would cause her to act like this. At that point Lil started to fall, calling his name. Instantly Grey stepped forwards and caught her, supporting her with an arm over his shoulders. What was going on? Had she lost more blood than he had thought? He didn't think that was the case, especially since she was flushed and not pale. However, he truly couldn't figure out what was going on. Had Connel done something more to her? Again he didn't think so. The possibility that this was Alicia's doing unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, didn't cross his mind."You need to lie down?" he asks, more concern and worry creeping into his voice.

Lilith Tennant


Lil couldn't understand why her heart was thundering at a such a pace simply by looking at Grey... The fact her legs now refused to work made her even more panicky, and confused, and overwhelmed.


And even before she had completely fallen she felt the warmth of Grey's arms around her shoulders holding her steady on her shaking knees.


If that wasn't bad enough her eyes flowed down from his concerned face to his bare chest which was literally right there in her face now!... She took a huge gulp as her mouth grew dry and her lips parted gently. Stringing a sentence was nigh on impossible now.


"I... I...lie down... yes that...." Nodding almost feveriously now, which only added to the dizzy sensation. Eyes rolling back gently as her eyelashes slipped closed.


She was so overwhelmed with whatever this sensation was.. and to make it worse whatever it was was multiplied a thousand times by Grey simply being right there.


The poor warrior lady was woefully confused and completely brain dead to the emotion of attraction or love... if that was indeed what it was.

Forrest the Lovable Bear PersonForrest's hand was on his own heart the whole time as he watched the obviously horrified man look at Willow and give out a description of his would-be attacker. He must have been good to find the most powerful person in the group on the first try! But as powerful as she was, she might have a lot of trouble against the lady he thought she was going up against.


According to Willow's small whisper, her name was Lilith, and she had fought [or at least tried to] against the dragon that had ravaged the town in the first place. She wasn't able to do much against an aerial creature, but what could she do on ground...?


"Uh, Willow," Forrest said, "Are you sure you want us to just stay here...?" He was hoping she'd say no, but a yes would give him no other choice than to just sit around and wait for her return...

Grey

Upon hearing Lil's stuttering and nigh-incoherent response Grey lies her down on the bed, concern still coloring his features. He reaches up and feels her forehead for a fever just in case. Again, he doubts that she would be sick but he has to make sure. As he checks her temperature he leans in, bringing his face rather close to hers. The thought that this could possibly be because of her having any feelings for him doesn't even cross his mind. In fact it can't really cross his mind as he is pretty much incapable of believing that anyone could or would have feelings for him. Lil might have helped immensely with his self-loathing, but it isn't all gone yet.
