[She was sitting on a chair, waiting for him. Lilith had finished watering the flowers and looked withdrawn from the world, her gaze lifted to the sky.
She had been a reclusive lately. Only talking with Aion and to attend to her Hospital duties. Nothing else. Nothing that created an attachment.]
[Seeing her sitting there, he somberly watched her for a moment. He knew something was up from the way she seemed rather withdrawn from everything. Come to think of it, she has been behaving that way for a while now, hasn't she? He spoke out in a soft playful tone as he approached her.]
[He swiftly took a seat beside her with crossed legs as he glanced towards her.]
I see no difference than the last besides the number of citizens slowly depleting. [He gazed up towards the direction she was looking at.] A new year, huh..
It was 2007 when I arrived in this calendar. [Lilith continued, pretending to not listen what he had to say about the people.] I feel my time here is close to end.
[His eyes widened a bit to hearing her say that. 2007... she had been here for 4 years now? He was definitely getting a bad feeling now as he narrowed his eyes and his grave tone drops an octave. They wouldn't... They better not.]
[Lilith asked, dropping her hand from his shoulders to glance at the garden.]
If I leave before you do, please have this Cathedral open to people. Seek someone to run the religious tribute. It's important to many of us, even if you don't share our opinion.
[He fell quiet and listened to the rest. What was making her say all this? A simple nostalgia bring on paranoia now? He heavily heaved a sigh as his voice carried a bit of annoyance in it.]
What's this all of a sudden? You make it sound like you know when your leave is. Unless one of them said something? Besides, I don't recall the Cathedral being closed off to anyone, more so encouraged for people to gather, especially knowing you. As I said, I could careless what they do as long as they keep to themselves and don't wander.
[She smiled at his annoyance, letting him speak without interrupting him. Not even once. When he ended, Lilith reached for one of his hands, the closest and attempted to hold it.]
I'm taking precautions, Aion. We don't know when will be your time or mine.
[What was she smiling about? There were still some things he would never understand about this woman. He allowed her to take his hand, cradling hers to return the gesture. He gave a small confident smirk.]
I'll be the one to determine that. [He couldn't allow those damn deities to make either one of them return to a non-existing future.] The resources are slowly but surely coming in. Don't be concerned.
The dough is steadily flowing in for the necessary preparations to make our stand. Equipment and inventions gathering and with time more arms will as well.
[He calmly explained. The necessary preparations for the battle against the deities of this world. With the promising allies on his side, this was becoming more and more possible though it seemed that even they've taken precautions by taking away a few. Rip, the Master, even the Earl to name a few.]
[He slightly raised a brow to the next, a bit taken by the question. She truly was behaving strangely today. The sinner was about to question back when he heard the latter, falling silent again. Was she fishing for a sense of reassurance? Did he really need to answer that? Aion gave another sigh, finding the answer rather obvious. Of course, she meant more.]
I think you already know the answer, Lilith. I don't trust my belongings with just anyone nor would I choose to live with for two years plus.
You stayed here out of convenience, don't you remember?
[Lilith mused, smiling again. At that time, he caused a bad first impression during a curse. She had tolerated him out of courtesy and concern for Joshua's sanity.]
[She simply couldn't take his answer as it was, could she? Aion gave her the face with a slight grumble.]
You truly stick where it hurts, you know that?
[He gave a deep sigh.] Of course, I do. Out of all the places, he chose the Cathedral and one bold caretaker, heh. [He lightly laughed as he recalled the past.]
[She admitted in all sincerity. She had a cause to fight for. Bleed for. Die for. She had to tell Abel the way to open his eyes and love the world. She had to save it.
But even during those times, with Elissar and the other Saints.]
Even so, I am always thankful that I could meet you. We might not shared goals, but that didn't matter. Did it?
[It had been less lonely that way. She could see it now. She could see it slipping away in her realization. She felt the same premonition that she experienced before she agreed to bargain with him, knowing it would lead to her death.
The inevitability of partying. Perhaps not tonight or tomorrow. Or this month, but soon. She had been so long in the City.]
[He silently listened to her words. Certain curses had definitely opened his eyes a bit, something he was bound never to admit to openly, but nonetheless the truth.
Not the same belief. The complete opposite from the way he thought and yet... He lightly snickered.]
What are you talking about? We share the same goals. To get out of here for one and do what's necessary.
[His eyes now stared into hers as his voice held a sternness to it, conveying just how serious he was. His grip slightly tensing as he held her hand.] Though I still intend on leaving under my own terms.
[He needed her in his world. And it was also the only way to...]

[AP: Inner garden]
Date: 2011-03-08 05:09 pm (UTC)[ She pauses, amusement wanning to the topic he always pursued. ]
Is there anything else that motivates you? Are those friends?
[AP: Inner garden]
Date: 2011-03-09 01:21 am (UTC)Is there really anything else? I would think grasping freedom covers it well. And no. More like acquaintances.
[He honestly answered despite feeling like he's being baby talked again.]
[AP: Inner garden]
Date: 2011-03-09 01:23 am (UTC)[She glanced at him, saddened to know the answer about those people he gathered. Acquaintances. Not friends.]
To me, you are a friend.

You can find the best friends in surprising places, please never forget that, Aion.
[AP: Inner garden]
Date: 2011-03-09 07:35 am (UTC)Find best friends in surprising places...
His expression became a bit more somber as he softly spoke with a hint of cockiness to it.]
I don't need anyone else, Lilith. Only those willing to fight for the cause.
[No one else would understand. No one else needed to understand. He simply had a goal. A goal he was willing to do anything in order to achieve it.]

[AP: Inner garden]
Date: 2011-03-10 08:21 pm (UTC)I know, but we share different means to accomplish them.
[Lilith watched him tense, felt him from the hand contact and wished she shouldn't have brought this subject. He was... so alone.]
I only wanted you to remember how we met and how our friendship grew. In this world or the next, you could find people like me, Aion.
