[h3][color=orange]TEAM CARROT[/color][/h3]
Lily cocked her head as Theodore and Novas introduced themselves, trying not to size them up too obviously as they spoke. She shook Novas' hand easily enough, shifting her burdens to one arm to do so, only barely slowing her pace a few feet behind Spook. To Theodore she gave a nod; this one seemed a snappy dresser, at least. She wondered what he'd be able to do with a corset and garters. She glanced over to the young man who hadn't spoken yet with interest, but when he remained quiet, she spoke up.

[color=DDA0DD]"You can call me Lily,"[/color] she introduced herself, sweeping into a low curtsey, although the effect was somewhat ruined by the lack of an actual skirt. She rolled with it, though. [color=DDA0DD]"By trade, I am..."[/color] In other circumstances, she would have introduced herself as she was, but she glanced down at Amelia and her mouth twisted to the side in momentary discomfort. [color=DDA0DD]"A florist,"[/color] she finished, smoothing over the pause as best she could but with a warning look to hush anyone who might know otherwise—for now, at least. [color=DDA0DD]"As for the leader, I say we let the chips fall where they may when the time comes. For now, darlings, we're naught but walking companions."[/color]

Amelia's small hand closed around hers, and Lily smiled, hefting the cages she'd claimed as they set off down the track. She let the little girl pull her forward, the city of Enn quickly disappearing behind them as they passed through a copse of trees. There went the last traces of an old life, she thought. Her sister was out here somewhere in another city; her mother lost amongst the wilderness—but Lily was perfectly content to step into the unknown largely on her own. If anything, it would be exciting.
