Ilyia shook her head, particularly vigorously at the last turn to have the entirety of her hair fall over her left shoulder in place of any particularly ruffled appearance.
"I'll be fine. Quite honestly I don't eat. It's... well, I'm complicated, to be fair. I'm just looking for some information, to be strictly honest."

Lilith tilted her head in confusion.
"Information? Is there anything I can help you with?"
After devouring some chicken and potatoes in the refrigerator and a few apples in the pantry, Hazel stuffed a few more snacks into her hat for later and went back to get a glass of milk.

Ilyia raised her eyebrows, her hopes rising by the second. With a slight bow, she cast a wary glance Hazel's way before addressing Lilith again.
"I'm looking for a figure by the name of 'Lux'. I feel I'm not alone, but I beg you understand my intentions are my own."
Her voice was lowered slightly, cautious at all times.

The servant gave a small frown, the name not sounding familiar to her at all. She opened her mouth to say so-
"Lux? Oh! You mean Nyx' sister!"
Hazel swallowed the food in her mouth as she jumped up onto one of the counters and took a seat.
"She's really shiny, kinda like you, lady."

"Shiny?"
Ilyia looked down at her arms, the detail on her attire the only honestly shining feature about her, though she shrugged, passing it off as a sensed carrying of the Light, however strange it seemed. She narrowed her eyes slightly, condemning her open sharing of any such information.
"Nyx' sister? So you know her?"
She turned to regard Hazel, eyes shining with curiosity, though she did well to hide her concern.
"Do you know where she might be, by any chance? Or anything really. It's not often you find multiple... 'shiny'... entities in so dank a place."

The witch nodded her head.
"Yep, I know Lux. Well, I've never been introduced, but Nyx talks about her occasionally."
She took a big bite out of a bagel and continued.
"She should still be in one of the lighter realms, I don't think she comes this way often. All I really know is that she runs the Council of Light and that they get really cranky when you do something they consider dark."
Hazel stuffed the rest of the bagel in her mouth.
"Mmrff frmmph mmmb grmmmmh hmmmn."
Hearing Nyx's name sent Lilith into a small panic. She began frantically looking for a way to call the guards, knowing that those that sided with Nyx were not permitted into the castle.

Ilyia frowned slightly, the prospective incident of the two sisters finding each other forming a devastation beyond scale in her mind, though she sighed and raised a hand to her forehead, dropping it between thumb and forefinger as she regained her calm. Still Lilith's reaction caught her slightly off-guard and her other hand flew out to her shoulder. She faced Hazel once again, eyes lighting with a slightly downed determination.
"Lux aside, then. Have you by chance seen any other... 'shiny' figures anywhere?"

The little witch shook her head.
"No one else but you, lady. Oh, well Ryn-Ryn had a shiny self at the festival, but I don't know what happened to him."
She nodded emphatically.
Lilith paused and looked at Ilyia with wide eyes. She wondered if the woman had even heard of Nyx or the council.

Ilyia closed her eyes, nodding gratefully to Hazel before turning her attention to Lilith, her own eyes quite contemplative, and slightly lowered of hope, though resolution held high all the same.
"Something tells me you're more informed than I've been led to suspect; it's not often someone panics at the mention of a name by mere prospect."

Lilith frowned, looking around carefully before whispering in Ilyia's ear.
"Yes, we know a lot about Nyx around here. The previous Lord actually used to serve her in the past. She came here at the Vernal Equinox and began slaughtering people. There were a lot of injuries, and that is how Lord Katsuto died. She has caused so many problems around here."
The servant's eyes flickered over to Hazel, knowing that she must be affiliated with her as well.

Ilyia nodded, her expression going more grave by the moment. Indeed this would be far more difficult than she had supposed, though she did have an informant, at least for now.
"Thank you," she offered quietly.
She turned to Hazel, reconsidering the name 'Ryn'. The same name that arose in the pale semblance of confrontation between the man and Lux, and she could think of none better than the one she had vanished with.
"You mentioned a Ryn? Could you tell me where he might be, then? I saw him a little while ago, but he all but vanished."

Hazel began coughing on the glass of milk she was drinking when she heard Ilyia.
"Wait...he was here?! Ryn was here?! Where? Last I knew, Acheron went to kill him. But if he was just here, then Acheron is....uh-oh..."
She shook her head, big eyes looking up at the shiny lady.
"Nyx isn't going to be happy about this, especially if Lux is around."

Ilyia's first motion was to ensure Lilith had managed to keep some semblance of her calm, though the sheer focus in her face all but hid the growing fear that Hazel's evident naivety might wind up her own undoing as she regarded the little witch yet again.
"What are you talking about?" She asked, "He just seemed overly aggravated that I was trying to help him out of a eh... tight situation. Yes, that's the most avid way to describe it."
Her face flushed with her own honesty, and yet her questions piled ever higher. Sooner or later they would have to be answered, however unlikely it seemed.

Setting down the glass, Hazel jumped onto a stool and removed her hat. Reaching deep inside of it, she pulled out a crumpled up letter and began unfolding it.
"Well, Nyx said that we needed to kill him. Probably because of the shiny side. Nyx doesn't like light, or holy people. You think Lux might be trying to get Ryn to work for her? That would explain why Nyx is so mad."
The little girl paused to down the rest of the milk.
"Ah! I didn't think Ryn would be able to kill Acheron so quickly though. Was Leto with him? If she found Ryn, she would have followed him around."

"Well, if Leto's that cat-obsessive girl that so followed... him......"
Ilyia's eyes widened, considering that she had just been informed of both 'she' and 'followed him around'. The choices seemed fairly minimal, and she nodded with a blink. She was taking a terribly wrong route to all this, and by the looks of it, one that would have wound her in a heap of a mess if she'd kept things up any longer. No need to raise alarm, she mused inwardly.
"Thank you, I'll be on my way now."
She bolted, the speed on its own leaving small silver shimmers sparking along the floor at her footfalls.
