Lilie was completely fascinated by the ferret, giving it a lot more attention than she should have. It also took much more willpower than what was probably needed to prevent herself from squealing in delight as Narcissus leapt from the counter. The way it looked at Ike was adorable, more so when he decided to curl up against him. She would have to look up ways to befriend ferrets, she wanted him to be as comfortable with her as he was with Ike. She wasn't entirely sure she would be comfortable sleeping with such a small animal, though; a fear of accidentally rolling over and crushing the poor thing was prevalent in that train of thought.

As Ike gave her reign to ask anything she wanted, she had to stop and really think about it. Anything at all? It almost sounded like a trap. But he seemed very much like an open book, lounging about without a care and more interested in his book--one she actually recognized. Reading a romance novel was the last thing she had been expecting. She must have been a magnet for eccentric vampires.

[color=deepskyblue]"Um...I don't really know what to ask,"[/color] She frowned, remembering Allison giving her a similar opportunity. She felt like she hadn't taken advantage of that, either. As she turned her gaze to the oven, she supposed there was really only one thing she had forgotten about. She had been told her duties had included becoming a living popsicle for the vampire she was going to serve, but the thought of actually doing it was such a foreign concept. Her hand reached up and rubbed her neck, frowning slightly as she looked back at Ike. Would it be silly to ask? She wished she could have asked Salem or Aaron, they both seemed to know more than she did.

She chickened out of asking, hoping that maybe Ike had his own supply of blood or something and didn't need her. A foolish thought, but she had to cling to it; it was the only thing that really reminded her that he was a vampire. [color=deepskyblue]"S-So, uh, you like...romance novels?"[/color] She ended up asking a more personal question.
