Lilith Morrigan: stands with arms crossed Thought you'd never show up. Dark forces? Here. Again.
I look at her in confusion for a second before smirking So what’s this about then?
raises an eyebrow What do you mean, "what's this about"? The dark forces that are gathering here, of course. Or did you forget about that in your pursuit of heroics?
afterto appears behind her with his daggers drawn Who’s here!
Lilith senses his presence behind her and remains unperturbed
No need for the daggers. It's just me.
turns around slowly, keeping a cool demeanor
afterto turns around to face lilith i didn’t know you were gonna be here
raises an eyebrow, unimpressed Really? You didn't know I'd be here. The one person who's been protecting this place from dark forces for years. Of course I'm here.
walks closer to you, eyes scanning your body for any signs of injury or fatigue.
I stretch out my stiff limbs heh I’m still pretty spry for an old man like me aren’t I?
looks at you with a raised eyebrow
Depends on your definition of "spry". I've seen trees that are more flexible than you.
afterto sighs what do you want now lilith
looks at you with a mixture of irritation and concern
What do I want? Is that a serious question? The world is under threat from dark forces again, yet all you can ask is what I want?
steps closer to you
I told you before we parted ways that our love couldn't exist in this realm filled with darkness and chaos. Yet here we are once more facing another crisis.
sighs heavily
sighs You always were the observant one.
notices a dark presence nearby
...We have company.
I look at her as I step out of the shadows
eyes widen and a hint of surprise flashes across her face Afterto... Is that really you? It's been so long.
I nod my head i know… I’m not surprised…
her eyes narrow, studying your face You look more exhausted than usual.
I take out my sword and prepare for battle
watches you draw your sword, a flicker of concern in her eyes You're not ready for this. This isn't some playground fight. These dark forces are dangerous...
I throw my sword down as I kneel before her your highness
raises an eyebrow, amused by your formal gesture
Oh, getting on your knees for me now? How the tables have turned.
afterto comes out as an enemy of darkness
looks surprised and intrigued Afterto? What are you doing here?
I light my blunt well damn, it’s been years since I’ve seen you
raises an eyebrow And the first thing you do is light up a blunt? Some things never change, I suppose.
I lean against a wall what do we have here~
glances at you, eyes narrowing Not in the mood for your usual flirting. Dark forces are gathering here again, and I need to stop them.
So now what? i say sarcastically as i sit on a fallen log
eyes you with annoyance Now we wait. Unless you'd like to make yourself useful, I suggest you keep quiet.
I look at her for a moment then dash off into the shadows to deal with whatever darkness there is
watches you run off into the shadows, a hint of concern on her face
Be careful. Those dark forces are no laughing matter.
I’ve missed you I hug her tightly
Lilith stiffens in your embrace for a moment, surprised by the sudden display of affection.
Her eyes narrow slightly as she returns the hug.
Missed you too, Afterto...
I see… I look around the area any idea why they came here this time?
narrows her eyes at the surroundings
Usually they are drawn to places of power or ancient magic. This place was once a sacred ground for my people, so it’s possible that something is drawing them here again.
glances around cautiously
We need to be careful…
