Once He Set Her Down, She Moved One Hand Up To Cover Her Mouth With A Loose Fist To Muffle The Remaining

Lily's nose scrunched up ever so slightly in amusement at Kaia's happy dance, honestly finding the action rather cute. She won't say anything just yet though, not wanting to go flustering her and making her choke or anything. So instead she opted for just focusing on her food and watching Kaia analyze her own dish.

At the question, she hummed. "It tends to vary based on the time of year, but in general I'm partial to rice and stew or curry," she answered after some consideration.

"How about you, for that matter? What's your favorite food?"

"Oh, wait! Before you leave, what color do you think the jacket should b—" 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're—! 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..."

—&&. @kaiakaya 🤍

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.

I may or may not know a tiny bit too much about gemstones and various other shinies...

"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.

Lily didn't even try to hide her laughter, even taking a moment to lean against him to keep her balance. Tiny affections!

"That explains why he doesn't mind raiding my fridge then." She snickered, shaking her head. "He's gotten so much practice getting into yours, he's well past the shame. Though, it's better he raids our fridges than tries to cook himself..." She hummed, absolutely remembering the time she rushed up to Xavier's apartment after hearing an explosion, thinking a Wanderer was attacking or something.

He lost oven privileges that day.

"Hundreds, sure." She echoed just as playfully, rolling her eyes as she stood up more properly. "That's more likely to be Tara, I wouldn't be able to keep up with so many people. I'm happy with having a few close friends who are willing to put up with me."

( Jump - sender jumps on receivers back - @lily-of-the-linkon )

Lily grinned when seeing Jeremiah wasn't paying attention to her, a mischievous little plan forming in her head.

Putting her training to the test, she carefully approached him from behind. She kept her movements as silent as possible, slowly lifting her arms to brace herself for step two.

When she was finally within reach of the (unsuspecting?) man, she lunged to jump on his back. While she was careful not to knock him over if she could help it, she was still dramatic.

Almost immediately after 'impact', she couldn't help but break into giggles, shifting to at least attempt to look at his face. "Hi Jer~" she greeted with playfully exaggerated casualness.

"What the- ah!"

The sudden surprise and sensation of warmth pressed against his back shocked him enough to let out a yelp in surprise, but the familiarity of the voice immediately calmed his instincts.

He adjusts his grip to ensure her safety but doesn't put her down.

"Stars, Lilyyyy! Where did you come from!? How did you manage to be so quiet!?"

Oh sweet Rafayel, thinking she would leave it there.

Instead of bothering to try and hit a moving target by just throwing her snowball, she opted to instead run after him.

"Get back here you brat!" She called through laughed, her arm still posed to throw the moment she saw a good opportunity.

❄️ -@artistrafayel

Send ❄️ to throw a snowball at Lily!

Lily yelped in surprise at the sudden impact before turning to Rafayel, seeming almost offended for all of... two seconds.

A wide grin spread across her face as she leaned down to make a snowball of her own. "Are you sure you want to play this game~?" she asked playfully, glancing up at him from where her hands were making quick work of the snow.

"Not just a toy, no." Lily reassured quickly, even if she knew he was just joking, shaking her own head. "But that doesn't change the fact that I love how you react to things."

His question earned a thoughtful hum as she put her phone away, after sending him the best of the pictures, of course.

"Well... Is there anything you want me to do?"

“I trust you” - @lily-of-the-linkon

"Huh? What are you up to?" He closes his eyes.
