Arianna seemed pleased at her responses, Lilie's eyes brightening somewhat when she mentioned the possibility of sparring. It seemed to contrast her gentle nature but Lilie couldn't call the kettle black in that sense. She loved the thrill of it, the instant decision making, how every second was dedicated to an art of getting to your opponent before they could get to you. She didn't bring up her skill; she preferred to show, not tell. That and she wasn't entirely sure of Arianna's level, considering the woman probably had more experience than she, so even if Lilie considered herself an expert it was entirely possible that the vampire could easily curb her.

She watched Arianna as she spoke, admiring the blue haired woman as she spoke. Maybe she could ask her to help her become that graceful. Arianna's somewhat wistful expression surprised her, but it was difficult to come right out and express it. She knew it was an opportunity and she knew Arianna wouldn't hold it against her, but she just couldn't bring herself to ask--especially if her mother was a sore spot for the vampire. But the chance to ask came and went as once again Lilie became the topic of conversation. She was grateful that Arianna considered her a person, at least. The multitude of horror stories on how certain vampires treated their mages had contributed to her fear of them.

Bathed in moonlight, Arianna would ask her about her own family. Lilie shifted in her seat slightly, wondering how to respond. The truth would likely be a place to start. [color=deepskyblue]"I was,"[/color] She admitted quietly as she lowered her gaze, frowning slightly. [color=deepskyblue]"...but being a mage changed that. I think it's for the best."[/color] And that was the reasoning she kept telling herself, especially when they began to distance themselves from her. She didn't blame them. She really did think it was for the best.

[color=deepskyblue]"I guess...I'd really like to know what you expect of me,"[/color] She decided on only one question for now, not wanting to overstep her boundaries--albeit her curiosity would ensure that she would know more through their usual interactions. [color=deepskyblue]"Is there anything in particular you want me to take care of? Or any tasks you had in mind?"[/color]
