Lilie blinked slowly at Salem, a little confused. She felt like he was trying to tell her something--except she was never really good at understanding these sort of things. She definitely did something wrong, but what? He emphasized investigation, so she was sure it was the clock. Was it because she had touched it? That [i]was[/i] kinda dangerous in hindsight. Well, at least everyone else was confused, so maybe she could stay quiet now and ask Salem what she did wrong later.

Aaron assured them they had nothing to worry about and didn't seem too surprised--well, he was definitely surprised, but not by the clock--as he explained that it was from his superior. Isn't the count his superior? That looked like [i]magic[/i] and vampires definitely couldn't use that. Or could they? This whole situation was confusing her more and more. He was referring to a mage, though, but she nearly groaned at that because it meant there was probably some kind of weird mage hiearchy Ben was gonna have to teach her about. As if she didn't have enough lessons!

[color=0BBFFF]"Um, I didn't do much,"[/color] Lilie admitted with a small shrug. Kneeling down next to the table again, she took one of the larger pieces and placed it on the tray. [color=00BFFF]"Will you get in trouble since it's..."[/color] She was going to say 'broken' but that didn't seem to be enough. [color=00BFFF]"...irreparable?"[/color]
