Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lily noticed when she had stepped out of her room that Erik was looking at the ground in deep thought. She wondered what he could be thinking of to give him such a look on his face but his face soon changed into a small smile. " I take it there was a lot to pick from that you wanted seeing you already started thinking about it." She joked back as his arm went around her shoulder. She looked down at the over sized jacket that was on her for a moment before looking back up at Erik. " I guess seeing you wont take it back." she smiled as the feeling of the kiss still remained.

As Erik lead the way, Lily raised her small frail hand to take Eriks hand that hung around her shoulder. Looking at their hands for a moments she then looked up into Eriks dazzling blue eyes. " You like putting your arm around my shoulders." She pointed out as she thought about how much he did so. It wasn't a bad thing, far from it as she liked having him so close. It was just something she never saw herself having done to her really. She looked away and blushed a little before speaking again. " I like it...Having you close I mean, even if it makes my heart want to burst out of my chest." Lily explained as the two walked together towards the diner.

As the two got closer to the diner the young woman kept her eyes looking ahead until the man who changed her world nuzzled her head. " I am glad." She said softly with a smile as the diner came into view. When Erik tried to explain how she made him feel she looked up at him a little surprised he was having trouble expressing his feeling as normally it was the other way around. She let out a light laugh and held his hand a little tighter. " Its okay, it is the same for me. I feel the same way."

When the two got to the diner, Lily followed Eriks lead to the booth and sat across from him. His jacket swallowed her up as she sat, having to stretch out her arm so at least her hands could come out of the selves to take the menu from Erik. " That soup you were talking about before sounded nice. I think that is the only thing my stomach can handle." She said as she skimmed over the menu before putting it down on the counter. She moved some hair away from her face before glancing out the window. Watching people walk by and it got her to wondering how many people knew as much as she knew now.

Lily watched someone cross the street before Erik started to speak which made her eyes drift towards to him. It was strange to look around and people live their lives and not have a clue on what goes on around them in the shadows. She nodded her head in agreement to his first comment but tensed up when when he spoke about not being able to tell anyone without being called crazy. " Yeah..." She knew that part all to well after all, that was how she was admitted to the hospital so many times, got her medication and got her nickname 'Crazy Lil' It was trying to tell people what happened to her parents.

Lily slowly took off the jacket that she seem to be swimming in and gently put it to the side. She moved some hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear before looking back up at Erik when he sighed. " At... Loss?" At first she was confused as to how she could make him feel that way and only her but... She was happy. She was happy that it was only her that made him feel that way. Not Maya or any other girl, just her. She never thought she could have any effect on a person as most of her life she was just in the background but to Erik, she was his. His Lily. Without really thinking or looking around to see if people where around to see, Lily got up and sat next to Erik, hugging him tightly with a smile. " Because I am your Lily."

Lily held Erik close to her, happy to feel him hug her back and nuzzle into her. Forgetting that she was in puplblic and in a dinner she didn't notice the waitress till Erik spoke. Feeling embarrassed and stupid for doing this here and now she hid her red face in Eriks chest. She didn't know why but whenever it came to Erik but it seemed nothing mattered around them but him at times. She was going to pull away and apologize but she felt a squeeze that prevented her from doing so. She sat quietly and could hear the mix of his heart beat, hers racing and Eriks soothing voice.

When the young man pulled her away her stormy eyes looked into his lively blue eyes with still a blooming pink cheeks. " you don't have to pretend Erik."She said giving him a smile before relaxing into their seat and Eriks arm. She looked around the dinner to see how many people where there as she felt a little flustered for being so close in public. It wasn't like they were kissing or anything in front of people in the diner, but she was still getting use to being with someone. " I have so many questions I don't know where to start." the young woman admitted before she took a sip from her drink. " You said you hunt them... How did you find out about them and want to hunt them?"

A smile bloomed when Erik said that she made him happy as he to did the same thing. Though that blooming smile soon withered away when Erik started to talk about how he had lived in the supernatural world all his life. It explained how he was so calm about the matter and maybe even why he left his family. Though he still lived in it as he was still a hunter.

When Erik said his first kill was at the age of 8 it shook her a little. A child killing a creature, or anything for that matter was something that no child should do in their lives. Though if you did live in the world knowing what was in the shadows you would need to know how to defend yourself no matter the age. Still, the idea of a young boy doing something such as killing did not sit all that well. Lily looked at her hands for a moment before she looked back up at Erik and brushed some hair away from his face and gave him a warm smile. " I don't think hunting and killing is all you ever known Erik. If so you wouldn't be this loving." She joked lightly as she pointed to his shoulder around her arm.

" See, hunting and survival is not the only thing you ever known. You just had something a little different from other family's is all. You still had each other." Lily said with a soft smile. She was glad that he stated that he has a caring and loving family though they might be different and that he ran away. Lily may have had a rough past but she still had that six years of love from her parents so pain was not all she knew.

Lily was about to take a sip of her drink when she noticed Eriks triad mark smirk on his face that made her cheeks start to blush again. "M-Me?" The young woman pointed at herself as she felt her face warm up a bit from the blush turning a slightly darker red. He stated that he had not been this affectionate before which made her wonder what he was like in his past relationships and if they knew about the supernatural creatures. Shaking the thought off her mind she just gave Erik a nervous smile. " Well...I guess I am your cuddly rabbit." She said, referring to the night they were playing tag and he called her a rabbit. When their food came her stomach growled just from the smell of it. This was her first meal and she could not wait to get something in her system. taking a spoon full of soup she blew on it to cool it down before putting it in her mouth. " Its good." She said quietly to herself before looking over to the man beside her to only see him eating his burger happily with burger juice on his chin. Letting out a soft giggle she took a napkin and whipped his chin.

Lily laughed lightly at his joke about him getting carrots before she took another spoon full of her soup. When Erik asked her what dose that make him she paused for a moment and thought about it. " If I had to pick a animal that resembled you it would be the black wolf from last night." She said with a smile on her face as she remembered the big black wolf nuzzling up to her.

Lily eat quietly as she took small bites as she did not want to upset her stomach from eating to fast. She felt slightly bad that Erik was waiting on her to finish as he was already done his meal. She turned to look at him to say she was sorry but only to see his smiling face watching her eat. She smiled back at him and continued to eat her soup. When she was finished she turned to Erik to see him looking out the window. It looked as if he was looking at something in particular across the street but when she went to look there was nothing there. " Something on your mind?" She asked as he sighed and shacked his head.
