Lily Had Been Working On Tidying Her Apartment When Hearing Her Phone Go Off, Cursing Under Her Breath

Lily was more than happy to listen to the ramble, lacing her hands behind her back casually as she listened to him, keeping her eyes on the flowers in hopes of not making him too anxious or flustered. She doesn't want him to risk accidentally drowning a poor plant if he gets panicky because she's watching him too closely!

His warning to not test the fire resistance inside earned an amused snort, turning her head for a moment as if trying to hide it, despite not actually trying to do so. "Noted." She commented, audibly amused. She can only imagine the shenanigans he must get up to, testing the limits of various materials.

Both he and Xavier seem to be men of many talents... far more than most people.

She distracted herself from that thought when he continued his rambles, humming to show she heard. "Thank you, Jeremiah." She beamed at him this time, adding on a playful "I'd probably make a lot of people jealous, having a personal tailor." She teased.

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!?"

🎉🎊 Confetti Attack! 🎊🎉

Oh!! Is there a party? A prank? What did I miss??

"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."

As a heads up, I'm trying to work on revamping this account a little, cleaning up my tagging system and such. So bear with me if things look kinda messy!

Lily's expression softened at his admission that the cookies were meant to be a surprise. Bless his heart she really can't stay upset with him for any length of time. He's too sweet for that.

Once she was done with cleaning his microwave from the explosion as best as she could, she turned her attention back to him. The music he'd chosen had her absently swaying along, moving over to him to take a look at the state of the recipe paper.

"I'd say that's still pretty legible, yeah." She agreed, smiling up at him. "Then shall we? Do you have enough ingredients for a second attempt?"

[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.

🍼

Send 🍼 for a fankid between our muses!

For Xavier and Lily!

Name: Lucas (ofc it means Light :P Though they absolutely call him their Little Star as well)

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Blue eyes with gold flecks, blonde hair like Lily’s

Personality: Smart, but can be hard to motivate, generally chill. Never resists nap time, but hates bedtime because he likes how pretty everything is at night. 

Special Talents: 

Communicating without talking

He's a very expressive child, even before he can talk, he manages it make it pretty clear exactly what he wants

Potential Powers: I feel like if he has an EVOL, then it would be similar to Xavier’s Light EVOL, if not just straight up the same EVOL. Lily won't ever admit it out loud, but she's kind of grateful that her child would have his EVOL instead of hers, because having an EVOL best suited for support definitely messed with her self esteem. 

Who they like better: Xavier, since he thinks he's the absolute coolest, and Xavier falls victim to puppy dog eyes a lot easier than Lily does. 

Who they take after more: Pretty even split? Most people think he's practically a mini-Xavier, but Lily’s influence is still definitely there, just harder to notice. He's crafty like her, and shares her habit of mimicking the people he's around / likes. That just means that, as a kid, he ends up mimicking Xavier a lot. He also gets his patience and tact from his mother as well. 

Personal Headcanon: 

He loves helping his parents in the kitchen (and 100% ‘tattles’ if Xavier ends up in the kitchen when Lily isn't looking, unless he's bribed)

Though, he also ‘tattles’ on Lily if she pushes herself too much and does chores or anything when Xavier tells her not to, so it's kept pretty fair

Despite how much he looks up to his parents, and how they're both Deepspace Hunters, he doesn't really want to be a Hunter. He wants to help people, and he loves ‘training’ (play fighting that actually teaches him useful skills too) with his dad, but if asked if he wants to be a Hunter he just kinda… shrugs

Short Bio: Lucas is honestly spoiled growing up, but of course his parents make sure he doesn't end up spoiled rotten. He's not a materialistically needy kid honestly, he just wants to be near at least one of them as much as possible.

Face claim: Here's our regular reminder I don't draw kids very often, in the form of the XaviLily family! :D

㋡🥀

colors of the sky.

Lily had taken to quietly humming while she put things away and tidied up, only for the gentle melody to be cut off with a startled squeak when feeling the cold water against her back.

Standing straighter in her surprise, she tried to turn towards him with a pout, sticking her tongue out at him. Before she could say anything to call him out, his arms were around her, turning her cheeks bright pink.

"You're lucky you're cute...," she mumbled without any heat, settling her hands on his arms and relaxing into his grip slowly. She'd managed to get most everything put away by now, so she didn't mind being 'trapped'.

[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."

By the time she reached his door her heart was pounding and she was braced for a fight.

Lily accepted the helmet with an amused eyeroll, but did lower her head slightly when he reached up to move her hair out of her face. She did obediently put on the helmet though when he was satisfied, snorting at his comment.

"How sweet of you. And here I thought you're trying to make the entire building jealous," she teased playfully before taking her seat behind him carefully, at least used to this when hanging out with him. Though, she can't deny the fact that even the small compliment made her blush, though the visor of the helmet helped to hide it.

Sylus picked up his phone, swiping through the screen as he dialed Lily’s number, his thumb tapping rhythmically against the glass. He leaned back in his chair, watching the soft light of the afternoon filter through the blinds. As the phone rang, he let out a small sigh, a hint of impatience buried beneath the calm exterior.

When the call finally connected, he greeted her with a casual tone. “Hey, Lily, you busy? If not… would you want to come see me for the spring? The cherry blossoms are finally blooming, and I haven’t had the chance to see them with anyone yet.”

There was a slight pause as he adjusted his position, a faint smirk creeping across his lips.

"Thought it might be nice, you know... to have someone to appreciate them with."

He exhaled, gaze still fixed on the view outside of the dark N109 zone. "Never had the chance to see it with someone before." The words were quieter, almost absentminded, but laced with something unspoken
