For some reason, Lilie felt a little sad that the princess thought more highly of her than her own vampire did. It was also weirdly embarrassing? Like, she wasn't really someone that Her Highness should go out of her way to even talk to, let alone express real concern over. Still, it [i]was[/i] nice to hear that she had an actual basis in her concern, a majority of her own fears and worried soothed over. A lot of the things she said were true, even as her own tiredness from trying to switch up her sleeping schedules tugged at her. Maybe she really was overthinking things, or at minimum owed Ben an apology for not initially believing him.

The princess' story also brought up something that Lilie never really gave a lot of thought to. She was so used to feeling liberated and attuned to her affinity that she never really considered it to be something to be wary of. It was a stark reminder that as much as she lauded it, magic had limits. Or rather, she had limits. It was a little scary to think about, but she supposed the princess was reiterating what she learned a while back about primaries. Something in the back of her mind whispered that it was just another shackle, but she ignored it; for the first time in a long time she really felt like she was being cared about by a vampire.

Princess Ryner's hand made Lilie blush, humbled and a little embarrassed if she was being honest. [color=deepskyblue]"I'm sorry,"[/color] She actually had no idea why she was apologizing, but it came out anyway. [color=deepskyblue]"I mean, I'm...I'm really flattered that you care so much. But thank you, I'll do my best to make you proud. And I know there's not much someone like me could do, but I hope you can count on me for anything."[/color]
