Lily heard Edward's reply. She could sense his pride right away by him refusing to apologize. It really sounded like it was his job to hunt the Great Ones or something.

Lily liked that. She always liked someone who would hold their head high and not just bend over in front of an opposition. The most wretched way to live in her opinion, was to grovel in front of someone stronger than you, pretending to serve them with a smile while you detested them in your heart. She wouldn't be able to stand a coward like that in her presence. She even wouldn't want to grace them with her presence.

Edward then asked for Hinako's name. Lily realized Hinako hadn't really told her name, despite her being asked earlier. She had introduced herself to him so she had no need to do so again.

Hinako then introduced herself, even more majestically than Lily did. It seemed she was in her goddess persona now, as she continued her lecture towards Edward.

And then she snapped out of it, as she ended her speech to Edward by saying that she just wished for a quiet, peaceful life and that living with hatred in your heart was a bad thing to do. Lily could certainly agree to both. She wasn't sure though that Edward really had that much hate towards the Great Ones. It sounded like it was more of a profession thing, that he simply had a job to do, and he would do it right. Lily herself didn't hate the Great Ones either. It was more about being cautious... a-and a little fear, she supposed.

Lily then heard Bea's teasing once more as the latter left. With her was an adorable little boy, who waved at them as they left. Lily remembered that she saw him greeting Bea when she returned to the confectionary table. She didn't remember this academy allowing children that young to enroll. Maybe he was just younger that he really was? It wouldn't be that much of an odd thing in the monster world. Once, her family was visited by a 300-year old elf with a body of an eight year old girl. She was a travelling merchant of some sort. At first, she wondered whether or not people would not take her seriously with that look, perhaps even bolstering their desire to cheat and rip her off. But then, she realized that the girl was employing her little girl charm to get better deals. What a cunning little person.

She made a little mental note to warn him about Bea if she met him again. She now didn't really think Bea would be dangerous (just michiveous), but just in case.

[color=ec008c]"Hmph, I certainly don't remember Great Ones being this petty and mischievous. She really is just a child,"[/color] Lily grumbled to herself, clearly feeling annoyed. She could already tell she would not get along with the girl. Well, she already expected she would find one or two people she wouldn't be able to stand when she came here. It was just the nature of things. There would always be people that you didn't like, or people that didn't like you. Both were similar. They created conflict. And that was why strength, both physically and mentally, was important.

Edward then replied to Hinako. He said he could agree with her wanting to life a peaceful life, but Lily sensed that he wasn't really sure about that, thus proving even more to Lily that he was a hunter by trade and by personality.

Edward then suddenly bowed to her, with a greeting straight out of a Shakespeare play. Lily could already tell he was playing her, and she didn't like that. Not by one bit.

[color=ec008c]"Stop it. I know you're not being genuine,"[/color] Lily responded with an annoyed look on her face. [color=ec008c]"You think us dragons are so blind that we cannot see an obviously fake praise coming towards us? We are worshiped and feared daily, and we have encountered many people who are better flatterers than you. And we all can see through their lies."[/color]
