[@Satsuki] Lilith had been floating there for quite a while, noticing footsteps outside the door, quiet conversations between others, and other monotone noises, but she didnt hear the sounds of Zeph as she approached until she was right next to her in the pool. Lilith jumped, her concentration shattered. She quickly tried to float upright in the pool. Her heart rate had increased, because she wasn't sure what the intimidating Zeph would do to her. She wasn't sure if she even wanted to know though. That was when the devilish girl started talking. "Lilith, I admit I mistook you for another one of my friends servants. You must know she had many and your behavior reminded me of her numerous people who would be caught up in her charisma." Lilith frowned at this, her arms crossed in the pool. She considered leaving, and started to turn before she heard what Zeph had to say next. "I had not meant my earlier assessment out of spite, as you clearly took it as an insult." Lilith bit her tongue, holding back a remark. She thought of this all, and decided that she would listen to the rest. "You showed you where capable of standing alone and though you lost you showed no malice...What I am attempting to say is." Lilith had almost smiled, but before she could Zeph stopped talking. Lilith didn't think she would finish her apology, and turn back into a bitch. As unlikely as it was though, Zeph actually finished. "I will watch your back..." Lilith took a deep breath, and considered her options. She ran her fingers over her sides, realizing that she had in fact put up a fight. What Zeph was saying was an apology, and though she was a major coin toss, Lilith thought the pros were larger than the cons, and she voiced her list. [color=6ecff6]I can tell you'll be a great fighter, and I know that if I had you in my side we'd get somewhere. You're smart and I like that. We're also roommates so we could talk quite a lot. You could teach me...a lot.[/color]" Lilith mumbled the last part, as though she was afraid to say it. "[color=6ecff6]Even though you're a great competitor, you're a colossal bitch and I don't want to deal with that. You don't have to be nice to anyone else, as long as you're nice to me. So yeah, if you have my back, and you don't stab it, I'll have yours.[/color]" Lilith floated back a little, making some space between them. She fidgeted slightly, rubbing her arm and chewing on the inside of her teeth. Then Lilith raised a hand towards Zeph, her eyes confident unlike the rest of her. "[color=6ecff6]I trust you Zeph, this is officially a partnership.[/color]"
