Sorry Xavier, you asked Lily open ended questions while she's tired and in a weird brain space. Welcome to deep answers and depressing thoughts!
She hummed in response, looking up at the sky again. "Maybe... I know it's a tall order." She mused, her eyes half lidded.
Once realizing that it was her turn to ask him a question, she tilted her head back slightly to look up at him. "What's your goal? With how strong you are, there must be some goal you're working towards, something you fight for?"
❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜

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."
