Lily went through the transaction easily, laughing quietly at the peace sign as she followed her out of the store, but staying close to the wall while they figure out where they wat to go. "I think there's a few new places, from within the past few months?" She hummed thoughtfully as she looked around.
She shifted her bag to settle it on her wrist, crossing her arms as she considered. "Hmm... I had a pretty light breakfast so maybe something a bit heartier..." She mused, cupping her chin as she considered their options and what was nearby.
The question regarding souvenirs earned a small laugh. "I suppose that that depends on the person. Some people are satisfied with food as a souvenir, but some prefer to have something more long-lasting, like a trinket of some sort."
"Oh, wait! Before you leave, what color do you think the jacket should bβ" Not looking away from the clothing rack in front of her, she grabs the sleeve of the person nearest to her without thinking, and realizes a little too late that it felt... Different. She turns, blinking; the person she'd been talking to had left, and beside her instead was...
"Wait, you'reβ! Lily?! You're Lily, right?! Oh, my god, I am so sorry, I totally thought you were someone else! Gosh, and this is the first time I'm actually talking to you, too..."

Lily was more than a little startled to suddenly feel her sleeve grabbed while she was looking for a new jacket to replace her favorite one that has... been through it. It's getting a few small holes in it but she's already mended it so many times it's time to retire it.
She blinked in surprise at Kaia for a moment before she started laughing, keeping it relatively quiet for the moment so they don't draw too much attention.
"Yes, I'm Lily. You're Kaia, right?" She asked, hoping she doesn't make a fool of herself.
At Kaia's concerns about how this is the first time they're speaking, she shook her head with a smile and waved a hand dismissively. "It's alright, don't worry!" She reassured easily "Do you need help finding the person you're here with?" She offered, tilting her head slightly.
Lily waited patiently for Xavier to finish his food enough to get his thoughts out, laughing a little as she leaned against the table instead of sitting properly just yet. "I thought that today it was my turn to spoil you?" She asked playfully, but did sit down when he insisted he was okay.
At the offer, she shook her head and grabbed a slice of pizza to start eating. "I've still got some, so I'll be fine for now." She reassured before finally taking a bite
After spending the morning doing research on places in Linkon City that offer milk tea, Lily finally found a place that seemed like it would be a nice place to visit and had the coffee milk tea that Xavier mentioned. Plus it wasn't far from a few good places to eat so they'd have options based on what they were feeling up to without having to go all the way across town. Perfect.
Lily finally sent Xavier a text in the late morning.
'I found a place that has that coffee milk tea you mentioned! And it has really good reviews.'
After a moment of thought, she sent another text as well.
'And thank you for walking me home last night. I really appreciated it. It was nice, looking at the stars with you.'
If not for the sporadic texts, Xavier would still be asleep. Outside the birds that often bickered over his balcony were squawking at a volume loudly. The combination of factors is enough to stir him, just barely. He knows its her before having to unlock his phone.
βͺ[ Audio: I'm awake. I'm up. I'm coming. ]
βͺ[ It was nice. Let's do it again sometime ]
In a flash he rinses off, takes care of basic hygiene, and is donning a favored hoodie in spite of the weather.
By the time he gets downstairs, he's already rubbing his eyes again as he knocks on the door.

TXT: are you asking me to sneak out?
@borealiscuriosities
Text Prompts
I meaaaaan- That's up to you! I'm just saving, I'm in the area to do a bit of shopping if you want to tag along, and I can give you an excuse if you need one :P
"At this rate you'll be able to bake on your own in no time!" Lily beamed, honestly proud of the fact. As much as she enjoys spending the time baking with him, she has a feeling that he'd enjoy being able to make things on his own without her supervision as well.
Making no attempts to stop him from tasting it, she watched him closely for his reaction. Nodding approvingly when he seemed to like it, she got him another spoon to use for actually icing.
"No, I didn't resonate with you," she reassured with a small laugh. "It's a pretty simple recipe to make red velvet icing. And we'll just spoon it on, like this," she explained before demonstrating by gently smearing some of the icing on top of one of the cookies from the first batch.
[Phone call, Xavier's voice sounds urgent] "I'm in great danger I need you to come downstairs right now. Please! You're the only one that can help. In fact, the entire complex may be in danger if you don't help me stop this right now."
As soon as she registered the urgency and he mentioned 'upstairs', Lily was rushing out of her apartment, only sparing enough time to grab her guns as a precaution.
"I'm on my way!" She reassured as she hurried upthe flight of stairs between them. Her thoughts were already racing a mile a minute, wondering what could possibly be causing Xavier of all people to struggle and call for help, especially without causing much of a ruckus.
By the time she reached his door her heart was pounding and she was braced for a fight.
[ hiding ] sender finds out that receiver has hidden an injury from them
Non-Verbal Angst Prompts!
Lily liked to think she was a pretty good actor. Perhaps in another life she could've even made a profession out of it.Β
It's times like this, however, that made her doubt if she could've managed it.Β
Hanging out with Jasmin on a shared day off is wonderful, and long overdue for both playing catch up and social time. Theyβd long since lost track of time, and the only thing making Lily realize how long they'd spent together was the fact her pain medicine was wearing off. It was making her side ache and sting when she'd shift wrong or breathe too hard from laughing.Β
She did her best to hide the discomfort, maintaining her smile, and trying to think of the most non-chalant way to suggest they get drinks so she can try taking some more medicine.Β
Honestly, Lily fully expected for him to take it and use it to decorate something else. So having him accept wearing it, even for a moment, she couldn't help but light up.
Without any hesitation, she moved to quickly and carefully secure it around his neck. Loose enough to not risk it 'hurting' him, but tightly enough it won't go falling off on it's own.
She'd made sure that it was made of a very soft yarn in hopes of it being at least a bit less irritating than most accessories for him.
Lily hummed happily as she approached Mephisto on his perch, unable to help giggling a little bit as she did.
"Don't think you're getting excluded from the festivities, cutie," she teased lightly, holding up a small, relatively simple, bowtie she'd made him using some ruby-red yarn to match his eyes and accents.
"It's okay if you don't want to wear it or anything, of course, you can just put it somewhere you want."
@lily-of-the-linkon
he eyes the little bow with indecision very evident in his glowing red eyes.
on one handβ¦ no likey wearing thingies. but on the other, itβs azure echo day and she did say this looked handmade.
so after battling with himself a little, he lifts his hear to make it easier to access his neck. his feathers puff upβhurry!
Lily turned to Xavier more properly, giving him the chance to catch up to her if he wanted to.
"Fair enough." She hummed in understanding, having absolutely left important things places before and had to go back for it later than she'd prefer.
The offer for company was met with a beat of silence as she considered, before she quickly settled on a nod. "I'd appreciate it." She answered easily. "We're going the same way, after all."
β you shouldnβt be out here by yourself. βΒ
Send me a prompt!
~
Normally, Lily tries to be fully aware of her surroundings. Working as a Hunter means she shouldn't let her guard down, especially when by herself. Who knows what threats are just waiting for a chance to strike, after all?
Though normally, Lily doesn't have to resort to late night walks to try and clear her mind so that she can sleep.
Suddenly hearing a voice nearby startles her out of her own thoughts, immediately setting her on alert. Her head whipped around towards the source, her posture tense and ready for a fight. Once she finally recognized Xavier, she let out a slow breath that ended in a sheepish laugh.
"Xavier!" She half-greeted, half-scolded.
Once she finally processed his warning, she offered what she hoped came across as a reassuring smile. "I know, I know. But I'm a big girl, I can handle going for a little starlit walk before bed." She teased, running her fingers through her hair in an attempt to calm herself down further so her heart wasn't pounding so hard in her chest.
"What about you? You're out rather late too."
When he accepts the offer, Lily doesn't hesitate to return the hug. His caution to ensure she wouldn't be hurt or uncomfortable was appreciated, though she still did her best to give him a good squeeze. A little squishing is good for a person!
Letting out a small, content hum when he placed his head on her shoulder, her expression softened as she rubbed his shoulder. For a moment she debated if he'd appreciate it if she ran her fingers through his hair, or if he'd be off put by it. Deciding it best to test the waters, she moved one hand from his back to instead settle it on top of his head.
"You're more than welcome to ask me for a hug whenever you want one." She offered, keeping her voice quiet, almost a whisper.
( from @lily-of-the-linkon )
Lily holds her arms out slightly towards Dawnbreaker, hoping to make it so he won't feel bad if he refuses her invitation.
"Would you like a hug?"
His eyes light up briefly at the prospect of physical comfort.
"...Yes, I would."
He steps towards her, enveloping her in a gentle embrace to avoid causing her any discomfort, despite his wishes. He leans his forehead on her shoulder, closing his eyes.
βThat sounds perfect!β Lily beamed, playfully motioning for Kaia to lead the way to the restaurant. βI havenβt tried it yet either, no, but Iβm up for a little adventure.β She added with a small laugh.
At her sheepishness regarding not knowing the requester very well, Lily gave her a few reassuring pats on the arm. βNothing wrong with that. Hm... What do you know about them? Are they a foodie at all? Did they know what you planned to be out doing?β
Even little things can help figure out what the other person may be expecting, after all!
"Oh, wait! Before you leave, what color do you think the jacket should bβ" Not looking away from the clothing rack in front of her, she grabs the sleeve of the person nearest to her without thinking, and realizes a little too late that it felt...
