As Elliot declared himself a failure Lillian shook her head against his chest. [Color=pink]"You're not a failure,"[/color] she said softly. [Color=pink]"I couldn't even kill myself right. If either of us is a failure it'd be me."[/color]

He was struggling against her and she was both afraid to let go and afraid to maintain contact. They weren't so different, were they? They'd both had it hard and that wall that separated them from others had gotten in the way again.

How terrible.

[Color=pink]"Please don't leave,"[/color] she murmured as she released her grip and stepped away awkwardly. Alessa was talking but she hadn't really heard much of anything from her. And Kendall too. Her face flushed a little as she cleared her throat. Thankfully this was when Evelyn stepped in and directed everyone back to the task at hand, to which Lillian silently mouthed a 'thank you' at the older girl. Hurriedly wiping at her face she took a deep breath before letting it out slowly.

[Color=pink]"Okay. Okay. Yeah. Let's do this,"[/color] she said, seemingly to herself. In truth she was still feeling a little raw from Elliot's initial jabs and more than a little emotional from this little scene. She was just happy that they'd at least made a start and that no random bystanders had been around for all of this. Which was a little weird, actually, now that she actually noticed it. It was almost like that calm silence before a big rain... She really hoped that wasn't a metaphor for their mission. Because that would be horrible. With that parting thought she took the first step back towards the HQ.

Entering the HQ building all together would be a terrible idea. While traffic might be light this morning it wouldn't do to risk giving away their identities somehow.

But that's why there was the back entrance. Slipping into the parking garage and heading down to the second floor there was a fairly boring looking door with a passcode and watchful camera. Quickly entering in their weekly authorization code let them open the door and slip inside into a small little hallway that was pretty scarce. Following that would get them to the internal checkpoint where they would then, again, provide authorization through retina scans before entering the building proper.

From there it was a simple matter of going to the Wards HQ where they could pull off their deceit. With Decoy informed and watching, it was up to them to be convincing.
