The fact that Salem's suffering was downplayed didn't sit well with her, either. In a selfish train of thought, she wondered if she was expected to grin and bear it if something similar happened. Mariette hadn't shown any violent tendencies, but then again, she didn't think the vampire would go crying, either, so she couldn't rely on her own assumptions. Her nerves were already shot from worry, and the thought of heading straight to bed was even more tempting. But first, she needed to make sure Salem was properly settled. Lilie was quiet on the walk over, though as she rubbed her eyes it was obvious it was more from being tired than not wanting to say anything. The change in sleep schedule was going to be hard to get used to for sure. All the excitement and adrenaline had kept her up, but now she kept losing focus, nearly walking into the other two a few times and offering an apology every time. Fortunately, the walk wasn't too long, and taking the familiar path was easy since they had been there before. A white color caught her attention from the corner of her eye, and she spotted a familiar face not too far away. It was the guy Aaron had walked out of Treaty Law and had made the comment about him earlier. Salem had introduced him as Max, right? But admittedly he didn't hold her attention for too long, her gaze dropping to what he was carrying. A very small, fluffy tail was wagging under his arm, and she had to hold back another squeal. A little puppy! How adorable! She tapped Salem's shoulder, gesturing to Max. [color=deepskyblue]"I didn't know he had such a cute dog!"[/color] She exclaimed, wondering if she would let him pet it.
