Lillith simply twinkled a smile at Ivan as he appeared next to her. She hopped down from the statue and landed lightly on her feet. She chose to ignore his words. To waste her energy on some petty provocations would be below her. She was tempted to shed crocodile tears later and carry on about Ivan bullying her though. With luck, Uncle Vlad would be in a good mood and indulge her. Maybe he'd even pamper her a bit. After all, today Uncle Vlad would be torturing the blood-wolf. Maybe he'd even save the video for her so they could watch it together later. Even better, maybe he'd let her participate next time. Without realizing it, she had stopped walking as she became enraptured by the idea of getting to participate in the next session. Ivan's last call snapped her out of her reverie. 

[i]Damn it! Stupid Ivan! Meanie! Ruining my daydream! Dumbhead![/i] She reminded herself to make faces at him when he turned his back.

But since Ivan was glaring at her, Lillith gave Ivan her best adorable smile instead and ran to catch up.
