Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lilith was surprised when Toren touched her hair. She wasn't used to any one being that affectionate. A tiny blush came to her cheeks; she guessed Toren had also realised they were quite close. A clock chimed; quarter to 7. There was still time before.
"Toren, of course i care. I wouldn't say it if i didn't mean it." And she smiled, letting out a soft chuckle.
"Anywhere you want to go after dinner? I'll meet you there." She offered, hoping that this would keep his mind off other things. She still had time to change before dinner, it wouldn't take her long.
"We should probably get changed soon..." Lilith almost muttered. She wasn't implying she wanted to leave, no way. It was just a silence breaker.

Lilith laughed lightly at his absent-mindedness. "Gardens sound fine to me." As they walked up the stairs, she debated what to do first. Getting dressed was the obvious choice. Then she'd talk to Jerome.
Reaching the top of the stairs she looked at Toren. "I'll get changed first, then give that pep-talk Tsuzuki mentioned to your brother. And no peaking while i'm in my room!" She added playfully, gently poking Toren's chest.
"I'll probably see you back here soon anyway." And slowly letting go of Toren's hand, she walked to her room.

It took her five minutes to get dressed into the beautiful gown her and Jerome had picked out. The fabric hugged her slim figure like a glove, and the shoe-string straps held the whole thing up over her rather ample curves. Hanging the sash over her shoulders, she walked out her room. She had some make-up on; power, a slight amount of lip colour and blush, mascara and eyeliner. The silver high-heels she dug out her closet made soft clicks on the floor as she walked down to Jerome's room, her perfume smelling of vanilla, coconut and exotic flowers. Knocking, she waited for him to open the door; looking down at Toren's door while she waited.

{[Hm. Might do the same with the pic!]}
Seeing Toren exit his room, Lilith grinned. "Wow Toren, you look handsome." She said sincerely. Her gown flowed out from the hip, trailing along the floor a little. The colour didn't make her look pale at all; it brought out the colour in her eyes and hair.
"Are you going to check on the princess?" She asked, stepping away from Jerome's door to lean on the wall nearby, hands clasped behind her back.
Lilith shook back her hair, her eyes taking a quick look at Toren. He did scrub up nicely.

Curtsying, Lilith grinned. "You're a gentleman, Toren."
Looking down at the Princess's room, she thought for a moment. "I'm not actually sure. Your mother told me to keep Jerome out of sight until dinner so... If you want, i could take the princess down to the dining hall after the pep talk with your brother? It is my job after all." And she grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. "Unless you want to escort her highness." And she shrugged.
Looking at Toren's collar, Lilith grinned. "Here, you got the collar flipped the wrong way." And stepping close to the Prince, her slender hands turned the shirt collar right way out, and straightened his jacket collar.

{[Iiii know! I reckon her mum told her she couldn't use da interwebz. I'm looking at lolcat pics xD I'll PM her and find out. I misses her!]}
Straightening out Toren's sleeves, she could see something was going on in his mind, but wasn't sure. Yes, Lilith wasn't the most perceptive at picking out people's thoughts, even though others would pick it up straight away. Fixing his hair, she chuckled. "You really think your brother would come to dinner if someone didn't take him? He'd probably stay there until forced out." Her light voice was rather cheery, her Romanian accent velvety soft.
"Sorry, i'm preening you now aren't i?" Resting her hands on his shoulders, she grinned. "I might have made you look too good actually. The princess might fall for you." Her bright blue eyes shined happily. Finally noticing Toren's shyness, her soft lips curled into a smile. "Whats wrong? You look like you're holding something back." Totally hitting the nail on the head, Lilith had no idea how right she was.

Raising an eyebrow, she grinned. "Oh, so blondes aren't your thing? I don't think it's your mothers thing either. I saw the look on her face when she saw Kara's hair. I think your mother was hoping for dark haired grandkids. Blonde usually over-rides all other colours." Yep, Lilith was good at changing topic and focus. "Ok, ignore that grandkid statement, i'm presuming now." And she giggled.
She had nearly let "Dude, just tell me." slip out, but Lilith caught herself. "Toren, what could make me hate you?" She chuckled, gently poking his nose. This was Lilith through and through; always making light of a situation through poking and comments. Even if she usually was the focus of the situation.

{[Ah, i love Lilith. She's such a smart-a** at the most inappropriate times xD]}
Lilith chuckled darkly. "If you didn't like the attention you would've stopped me by now." And she winked. "I poke, i prod, it's what i do." And she shrugged, grinning.

About to make another cheeky remark, Toren's hand on her cheek and his question stopped her dead. Her eyes became violet as a blush crept to her cheeks. Lilith responded in her usually way. "Why don't you find out?" Her voice was low, almost a purr.
When she was walking with Jerome before, she had let her thoughts wander a few times, and when Tsuzuki hinted at something, her heart jumped. But here she was, with the other Prince she had a thing for and her heart was racing. She had thought about Toren this way before, but never thought that one of the Prince's would feel the same way, yet alone both, if she had understood Tsuzuki correctly. Lilith's hands still rested on Toren's shoulders, her right hand absent-mindedly plucking at his collar.

Lilith closed her eyes after she felt his lips touch her. Surprised at how soft he was, it took her a second or two to softly kiss back. She had conflicted feelings, but this was now, and she focused on Toren.
After a couple of moments, she hesitantly pulled away, smiling. "I think we're going to be late if we hang around much longer." She said quietly, giggling. Gently stroking his face, she raised an eyebrow. "Besides, what would your mother say? I'm just the Royal Advisor." Smiling cheekily, she kissed his cheek tenderly. "Let's get those two ready. I'll see you at dinner."
And turning around, she knocked on Jerome's door, turning the handle. "Oi, you'd better be dressed, it's pep-talk time." And looking over her shoulder at Toren once more, her warm smile lingered on her face after she disappeared into Jerome's room.
