Lilie nearly jumped at the arrival of the newcomer to the conversation--a vampire, by the way he stood grandiously, towering over the two. She couldn't help but wince slightly at the usage of the word 'slave' as he spoke, though at the mention of being an Astorio, her eyes widened considerably. What was a noble doing talking to them? At the mention of bowing or kneeling, she realized that she was genuinely clueless. Were you actually supposed to kneel? Aaron was doing it for the TA, Varis Sinnenodel, a noble vampire. But the way the brown-haired guy spoke made it seem like it was wrong to do so. He definitely had a lot more guts than she did, speaking back without so much as a hint of hesitation. How could he speak so boldly to someone who could probably tear his head off without any hesitation?

Before she could properly figure it out, she realized the vampire was looking directly at her. She recoiled out of instinct, though his gaze managed to send a chill up her spine, his comment sparking alarm in her head. She had absolutely no idea how to respond, taking a step back purely out of fear. Any words she could have had got caught in her throat, but really, what was she supposed to say to that?! But she didn't want to offend the noble--she had already offended her own last night, did she really need more vampires thinking poorly of her?

[color=deepskyblue]"Um...thank you...sir,"[/color] She forced herself to respond, hastily tacking on the title. Sir was fine, wasn't it? She wished she could excuse herself and just run, but she felt like her legs were rooted in place.

Salem's voice caught her attention immediately, snapping her out of her paralyzing fear long enough to look at him. Looking between the Astorio vampire, the guy she had spoken to, and Salem, Lilie found herself wishing she hadn't said anything, her nervousness taking a firm hold of her.

[Color=deepskyblue]"U-Um..."[/color] She tried to speak again, though the word was so strangled coming out it discouraged her from speaking any further.
