Lily hummed as she considered, absently sipping her drink. "Ah, I get that." She chuckled sympathetically. Being hungry, but not knowing what for.
"Pizza then? It makes really good left overs, if we get more than we manage to eat." She offered, looking up towards him for his thoughts. Sure, he said she can decide, but she still cares about his opinion!
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.

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.

If anyone wanted to see what I almost chose for my profile pic :P
Lily has updated her profile picture!
Honestly, Lily fully expected for him to take it and use it to decorate something else. So having him accept wearing it, even for a moment, she couldn't help but light up.
Without any hesitation, she moved to quickly and carefully secure it around his neck. Loose enough to not risk it 'hurting' him, but tightly enough it won't go falling off on it's own.
She'd made sure that it was made of a very soft yarn in hopes of it being at least a bit less irritating than most accessories for him.
Lily hummed happily as she approached Mephisto on his perch, unable to help giggling a little bit as she did.
"Don't think you're getting excluded from the festivities, cutie," she teased lightly, holding up a small, relatively simple, bowtie she'd made him using some ruby-red yarn to match his eyes and accents.
"It's okay if you don't want to wear it or anything, of course, you can just put it somewhere you want."
@lily-of-the-linkon
he eyes the little bow with indecision very evident in his glowing red eyes.
on one hand… no likey wearing thingies. but on the other, it’s azure echo day and she did say this looked handmade.
so after battling with himself a little, he lifts his hear to make it easier to access his neck. his feathers puff up—hurry!
After a moment of consideration and realizing that she hadn't thought that far ahead, she nodded gratefully. "If you don't mind, I really would appreciate it!"
After double checking that she'd gotten responses from everyone, she started to lead him out of the office. "The coffee shop isn't too far, thankfully."
❝ how do you take your coffee? ❞ - @lily-of-the-linkon
"I prefer sweet coffee! So a bit of sugar, a bit of creamer. I know some folks say that's not real coffee, but it's my cup, I get to doctor it however I please!"
Lily playfully tilted her phone away from him when she caught him trying to peek, sticking her tongue out at him playfully. "It's a surprise."
She finally started to cross the street once the signal turned, similarly alert but still plenty relaxed. "It's not far, no. I just haven't been there before. It seems to be a pretty new place, so I figured it'd be fun to try it out together." She explained easily, leading the way.
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.

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.
While he wouldn't find his desperation mirrored in her, there was still curiosity and affection. A fondness that she still reserved for him and him alone. She can tell he's looking for... something, but she doesn't know what. Whatever it is, he apparently didn't find it, and some sort of heavy guilt settles itself in her.
She does her best not to linger on it, focusing on what he said. "I certainly wouldn't complain about going out like this. I think we look rather adorable, matching like this." She answered easily, her tone genuine but playful at the same time. "We could probably use the relaxed outside time, too." She mused.
“I trust you” - @lily-of-the-linkon
"Huh? What are you up to?" He closes his eyes.

Lily hummed as she considered, tilting her head slightly. "It doesn't sound too terrible, at least? Worth a try at least once." She mused. People put milk in coffee too after all, so it's just whether or not the tea and coffee would work together well that she's not so sure on.
She absently watched the numbers too, leaning against the wall of the elevator. Turning towards him at his request, she gave a reassuring nod. "Of course. Hopefully it'll live up to your expectations." She added playfully, though she meant it too. Food seems to be really important to him, so she doesn't want to choose wrong!
When the elevator dinged to indicate they'd reached her floor, she stretched and stood up properly again, heading to leave. But she paused in the doorway, turning back to him with a small smile. "Thank you again, Xavier, for keeping me company. It was nice."
❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜
Send me a prompt!

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."
