*Gives Lily a piece of grapefruit and runs*

// Give Lily an item and see how she reacts!!

Lily blinks in confusion watching you run off after depositing the piece of fruit into her hand, head tilting ever so slightly. Shaking her head to dismiss the confusion for the moment, she examined what exactly you had given her.

"Oh, grapefruit! I haven't had this in forever!" She beamed, eating it carefully since she doesn't want to make a mess. "Nice little treat." She hummed to herself, having honestly forgotten how it tasted it's been so long since she'd allowed herself to have any. One tiny piece can't hurt, right?

"Oh, everything's fine with it, nothing to worry about." Lily reassured easily with his concern, finally giving him a little more room properly, but not venturing too far. Just not 'I was literally just on top of you' close. "I was just a bit rough with it last time I used it, so I wanted to make sure that it was okay before I needed it again."

Better safe than sorry, and she doesn't want it to fail on her when she needs it, since she'd rather not do a bunch of running if she doesn't have to.

The mention of new merchandise caught her interest though, perking up slightly as she listened, following his lead. "Oh, they really are pretty!" She beamed, picking up one of the pins to examine it. "I think Xavier would like them, honestly. He really seems to like the stars, especially if the cute little charm on his sword is anything to go by." She mused absently. "Tara might like it too? It seems up her alley. I might need to buy a few from you." She semi-teased, despite fully planning to do so.

Jeremiah's musing about the kind of friends she has, or what people are into, earned another small giggle from her. "I have an... interesting variety of friends, honestly. Lots of different interests and personalities."

( 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!?"

Lily wasn't the slightest bit concerned by having his hand by her face still, even shutting her eyes when he reached closer again. She let out a small, appreciative hum when feeling him fixing her hair, opening her eyes again in time to catch his attempt at looking impressed.

Beaming proudly, she couldn't help but snicker a little, more than happy to help make it easier for him. "I know, I know. But it's fun to tease you." She admitted honestly, happily letting herself be even slightly squished by his tightened grip. "You have fun reactions, even if they're subtle."

( 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.

“I can if you want,” she answered easily, “Or you can always come over while I work on something too.” She’d just need to start a new project to keep the scarf a surprise, but that wouldn’t be too hard.

Accepting the spoon she took to carefully mixing the ingredients together, not wanting to go flinging their batter everywhere.

Xavier’s confusion honestly explained... a lot to her. “Ohhhh dear.” She mumbled with a small laugh, shaking her head. “You don’t change the temperature after you pre-heat it. You preheat the oven so that it stays at a consistent temperature when baking so that the time doesn’t end up varying based on weather or climate or anything.” She explained, trying so hard not to upset him with her amusement. But also... hun. “That explains why everything keeps exploding, though...”

[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. 

It's times like this, however, that made her doubt if she could've managed it. 

Hanging out with Jasmin on a shared day off is wonderful, and long overdue for both playing catch up and social time. They’d 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. 

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. 

I wasn't snooping that much!! Didn't get a good look at him! You want me to guess????

Hmmm... couldn't be your massively scary partner right? 😩

I've got to have at least a little fun with this 😋

He's not that scary! Especially off the field. He is the closest thing to a living teddy bear I have ever seen when off the clock.

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

Lily ended up giggling right alongside him, but nodded her agreement. He’s right that it’s best to just see what it’s like once they get there, no matter how much she may want to try and plan ahead.

“That’s true, and I don’t think either of us are going to complain about a good night’s sleep.” She mused playfully.

Once the pizza shop was within sight, she gently took his free hand in her own to tug him towards it. Since it was about lunch time it was getting busier, but fortunately they still had plenty of room to breathe.

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.

↪[ Audio: I'm awake. I'm up. I'm coming. ]

↪[ 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.
