She frowned as he mentioned Cassandra and her vampire, scratching the back of her head. She did feel bad for him, she really did, but she genuinely didn't understand how he could honestly be okay with vampires in general. It seemed the two had very different opinions on the topic, but his explanation revealed that they also had very different upbringings as well. Of course he would give them a chance, the vampires he knew and interacted with treated him and his family well. The only time he maybe had any bad interactions was here at the Academy. Letting out a sigh, she gently patted his shoulder. [color=deepskyblue]"I appreciate you telling me, and I've heard the same thing, but I don't know. I just can't do it,"[/color] She muttered, shaking her head as she looked ahead. [color=deepskyblue]"Marivaldi, Eve, whoever...at the end of the day it's really hard to look at them that way, to think they don't have some sort of ulterior motive. Besides, we're here to understand our magic and serve them, we don't have to understand or give anyone a chance or--"[/color] She stopped herself, realizing that her speech was getting a little too frantic. After a few seconds of recollecting her thoughts, she shook her head again, smiling at Salem. [color=deepskyblue]"I just can't. Not now, anyway,"[/color] Lilie finished rather lamely, only offering an apologetic shrug. [color=deepskyblue]"All I want to do is keep my head low and avoid trouble. The less any vampire notices me, the better."[/color] There was only one vampire she absolutely had to interact with, and if she could, that was exactly how she wanted the rest of her years here to be.
