Lily blinked. She certainly didn't expect the ghost to have [i]this[/i] kind of reaction. She had expected her to act like Bea did, especially with how her expression looked as nonchalant as the latter.

A heavy weight of guilt immediately settled down in her heart, as she saw her eyes quivering, tears building up in its sockets. She certainly didn't mean to make her cry! S-she's not a bully after all!

"Just...dorms...meanie..."

"Just wanted to find the dorms, you meanie!"

Her heart broke after she said that with such a pitiful expression. She had made a terrible, terrible mistake.

[color=ec008c]"I-I'm sorry!"[/color] Lily quickly said. "[color=ec008c]I-I thought you were trying to scare me so I scared you back. I-I didn't mean to make you cry, h-honest!"[/color]

This was a rare occasion for her. A proud dragon like her rarely apologized, and even if she did, she would do it with a huff, throwing away her face while blushing. She never apologized this earnest before.

Seeing how the ghost was still in such a vulnerable state, she quickly approached and gave her a warm hug, trying to calm her down. She didn't know why she decided to do it, only that she simply had to. She couldn't leave her in such a state.

It was certainly an odd sight, as the ghost was quite taller than her. She could've been her senior, and she would be the one to comfort her. But alas, the fact was different, and her bonnet ended up awkwardly touching the ghost's face as she hugged her.

[color=ec008c][i]...Her scent... it's... nice... Her body felt cold though... Well, as expected from a ghost...[/i][/color]

After about ten seconds or so, Lily released her, looking closely at her face to see whether or not she had calmed down.

[color=ec008c]"I-it's alright, I-I'll accompany you to the dorms,"[/color] Lily said. Her guilt still weighed heavily on her mind and she wished to make it up by helping her out. She just hoped that the ghost would be willing to receive it.
