Rather than going to seek our her partner, her partner found her first. The moment of truth had arrived alarmingly quick for Lilie's taste. Honestly, she had no idea how the woman's domineering presence hadn't sent chills up her spine, but she accomplished that quite easily as she felt the vampire's fingers through her hair. Her compliment was flattering, but it rubbed her the wrong way. If she didn't know any better, she would have believed Arianna saw her as little more than a pet. Then again, maybe that was how all vampires saw their mages. Another fascinating behavior she would have liked to know more about, but considering she was the subject, her curiosity shrank down. Arianna was bold, her beauty otherworldly even in comparison to the other vampires. Her picture didn't do the actual thing justice, albeit Lilie was certain a picture wouldn't be as intimidating. She towered over her easily, her voluptuous body putting many to shame and gathering looks from others. What really stunned Lilie, however, were her eyes: not necessarily the gorgeous color or shape, but they spelled out every single one of her desires, a passion so bright that it was difficult to believe it was coming from a vampire. And those eyes were set on her. The arrival of her vampire seemed to remind Aaron that he had his own partner to find. As much as she knew it was the right thing to do, Lilie wished he hadn't left just yet, watching his departure somewhat hopelessly. But duty calls, and as reluctant as she was, that was her role as well. Reminding herself that the very last thing she wanted to do was upset her new partner for years to come, Lilie gave Arianna her full attention, but found it somewhat difficult to keep eye contact. Doing her best to make sure she wouldn't come off as too meek, Lilie bowed her head. [color=deepskyblue]"Good evening,"[/color] She greeted her, raising her head. [color=deepskyblue]"I'm Lilie--although, you knew that,"[/color] She seemed to catch herself, mentally berating her fear for crippling her social skills. [/indent][hr] [@Crusader Lord]
