[color=red]"Is that so? I tend not to pay much attention to how I address people I don't consider a threat, so I suppose it may come off that way."[/color] she fibbed. [color=red]"Mika also doesn't keep your name a secret."[/color] Sil slowly raised her gaze from the cloud and to Su. [color=red]"But now that you mention it, I do think you're quite familiar yourself--"[/color] as she was speaking, her phone buzzed. There was only one thing that could be. Veronica wouldn't bother using a cellphone to contact her since their mental method was much faster and a lot safer. She also didn't have many people to give her number out to. It was Trixy. Definitely. Since she was supposed to keep an eye out on Trixy, Sil was required to pay attention to her posts. This was relatively irritating given how frequently the girl liked to post, but there was no use complaining about it. It was a job she accepted and Veronica didn't care much for whining. And who knows, maybe the post would be something Sil cared for? As if. Samantha grimaced upon reading it, doing her best not to let her distaste become audible. It was tame by Trixy's standards, but it was still very much a Trixy post. Taking a deep breath, she closed her phone and turned her attention back to Su and tried to pretend like that hadn't happened. It would better that way. [color=red]"Whatever the case may be, we're on the same boat here, so I wouldn't mind an amicable relationship between us."[/color] [center][quote][color=aba000]"They actually managed to follow us all the way here?"[/color][/quote][/center] As was the case with death, taxes, and Thanos, it was inevitable that Sil's conversation had to be cut short by some form of commotion. She didn't hesitate to equip her weapon, glaring off into the distance where the voices were coming from. What were they doing here? A fight was more likely than not, so this may have been the chance to size up Lily, if there was a silver lining to this situation.

Ghosts were supposed to do the scaring, weren't they? She smiled warmly to the twins, who had taken to the ceiling. [color=turquoise]"I'm sure it's okay."[/color] she assured, only to immediately jump and yelp in surprise when Helga started yelling. She was about to check on the girl when suddenly Helga nearly drifted into the room, letter in hand, speaking about a concert. [color=turquoise]"O-oh. Isn't that wonderful...!"[/color] she said with a hand on her chest. Her heart rate hadn't returned to normal levels and she was still catching her breath, but it was nice to see someone so excited about a concert. As Helga left the room to return to the guests, Emily looked back up to the twins. [color=turquoise]"S-see, all is well."[/color] she told them, though it wasn't particularly convincing with her lightly panting. Soon after, Emily followed Helga to see just who the guests were.

Don't keep Hilaria in suspense!"[/color] [color=888888]— Hilaria[/color] [/center] Amaryllis? So she [i]had[/i] been getting it wrong! This was...not exactly surprising. She had quite the problem with names, as she had said before. Even her own name wasn't safe from her amnesia-like forgetfulness. But who could blame her? It may be a century or less and then these girls would be gone, just like all the others, and she'd be left alone again. That made it hard to bother committing it to memory. But as long as she remembered, she may as well. [color=F65772]"The scales have fallen from Hilaria's eyes~!"[/color] she feigned surprise towards the 'revelation' as if it were some life-altering fact. Much like Amaryllis, this exact subject didn't keep her attention for long, although the reasoning for this was different from simply being uninterested. [color=F65772]"Eh~?!"[/color] she gasped. This time, it wasn't feigned. She looked at Sophia with a deadly serious expression. [color=F65772]"I would have you speak the truth,"[/color] she demanded, her vocabulary noticeably altering. Perhaps this was closer to the actual Hilaria? Either way, she continued. [color=F65772]"You state that you would offer to Hilaria a meal for naught in compensation? Confirm this understanding, that Hilaria may be assured."[/color] It was not as though she missed the fact the boy's tiger turned into a tortoise as she desired. Nor did she miss the approach of the Ascendancy. She clearly was aware of these things. But the fact was that they simply weren't as important as the answer Sophia would give.
