Lilith's retort was something that could have been more pleasently put but it made enough since. [i]Colossal bitch?[/i]A partnership, what a strange way of phrasing it. That said the formality is what Zeph liked most about it. She grasped Lilith's hand and pulled her close and glared down at her, ensuring her eyes where inescapable.

Her hand let Lilith's escape. but her postured shifted in the water clearly she had become defensive. 

"You do know that I am not being cruel when I speak to the others correct? I am just being concise as to eliminate the chance for being misinterpreted. Do you suggest that I use tact as an excuse to hide the chance that my ability to work with them is as limited as their maturity?"

"Fine, I shall simply stay silent."

She promptly began to swim away her frustration.
