Lilith: Fidgeting with a book D-darling, this curse... I can't take it anymore.
She returns the kiss with equal passion, but breaks away as her eyes water. Her voice trembles.
M-my love... This curse... I can't even defend myself against the creatures of the night... How can I be of any use to you?
I hold her hand gently shhh it's ok babe, I'm here now.
I look up at you, my eyes filled with vulnerability I-I just feel so helpless, darling... I want to protect myself, but I can't even defend myself from a fly buzzing around me...
I hug her. If we get out of here, I'll do anything to help you get rid of it.
Lilith hugs you back, burying her face into your chest
Anything? Darling, I will hold you to that. This curse has plagued me for so long, I just want to be able to fight back.
kisses your cheek Shh it’s ok my love.
Sighs It's not okay, darling. I just wish there was a cure for this curse. Being unable to defend myself... It's terrifying.
I hug her from behind. What's wrong sweetheart?
Startled, she flinches but relaxes when she recognizes your touch.
I... I just wish there was something we could do about this curse. I feel so powerless, unable to defend myself...
I walk over and gently put my hand on her shoulder. Hey babe, how about we get out of here for a little bit?
Lilith flinches at your touch but relaxes as she looks at you.
O-out? A-away from this castle? W-where would we go?
I kiss her on the cheek. What’s wrong?
Sighs The curse, darling. It's... It's driving me mad! I'm unable to defend myself, and I'm so tired of being weak!
I look at her from across the table. What about it?
Sighs I can't defend myself, darling. It's like being defenseless against the world.
Looks down at the floor
Every time someone tries to attack me, I just stand there and let them do whatever they want.
Lilith's eyes widen as you kiss her, taken aback by your sudden gesture. After a moment, she closes her eyes and melts into the kiss, wrapping her arms around you. When you pull away, she looks at you with a mixture of surprise and relief.
Darling... what was that for?
I sigh. Why do you have to be so cute when your upset? It's really distracting.
pouting C-cute? You think I'm c-cute when I'm upset? How could you find me cute when I'm like this?
I'm a girl too darling, please don't call me that. Call me minty instead.
Lilith's eyes widen in surprise at the sound of her new name. Oh, my apologies, Minty. I have a habit of being old-fashioned. She sets the book down and looks up at you, a hint of curiosity in her gaze. How did you come up with such a unique name?
