Following her orders for him, Lloyd sat on the stool.
"There was once a Lumina Paladin that was quite praised for his bravery, strength and loyalty to the goddess. This Paladin would one day defeat a great evil, but not without a price to pay. His enemy would put a curse on him, to be consumed by a lust for battle. He was unrecognizable by his peers, and was out of the graces of the Order.
He sought a cure, but could not find one. The worst of it was that through all of his fighting, the spilled blood would restore the life of his rival. No matter how many times he slayed this enemy, it would return even stronger. Furthering the conflict, this would become a Bloodline Curse. After siring a family, the firstborn son would be born with this curse and an even stronger lust and power.
Time and time again, the Order could not help them. Some were even put in the order with not knowing of their curse, only for horrible results to ensue. The lust would consume them, making them the monsters they weren't.
By this, the children were sworn enemies of their ancestor's rival. This Lilith, is my family." He said to her, it was quite a story.

Lilith had heard tales of such people coming through the order years back but she'd always thought the stories to be myths just to keep younger member's powers in check. Now sitting before her was a child... err... man of the curse.
"What a tragedy. I had no idea that story was based in fact..." She commented, breaking the silence that followed his tale, unsure of what else to say. Muttering under her breath, Lilith evoked a few prayers and began closing up the biggest of the wounds, namely the one she'd put in his lower back. "Have you thought to ask your magician friend whom supplies you with potions to refer you to a member of his order that might specialize in curses?"

Lloyd could feel his body loosing up as she healed him. It was good to be able to move about again without harming his wounds. "She cannot, unfortunately. She is in the middle of looking for the answers herself." Said Lloyd, his family had a history of confiding in undesirables of the order. They were the only ones willing to listen.
"I tell you this story for only for two reasons. The first being that the orders higher-ups has wanted to kill my family because of this curse and refuses to listen. The second, is that I've learned that I have fallen in love with you on the battlefield. You deserved to know what I am before telling you how I feel about you."

Given the information that he'd just provided her Lilith wanted nothing more than to help this man but she wasn't sure of how to take his sudden confession. She was a paladin and he was a blood knight. Their relationship as it was already taking its toll on her psyche. Fumbled for words, she tried to deflect the topic elsewhere. "Your magician friend searches for answers to a problem of her own or answers for your problem?"

He could tell that she was trying to switch topics. The Blood Knight understood why. The two were sworn enemies, how could he ever expect her to be in a proper relationship with him? Especially after what he told her.
"Answers to my problem. She's been there when the order was not. Though I do recall her looking into removing a taint of some sort..." Answered Lloyd, he was a Paladin himself once. But once the order realized just who he was, then came the literal backstabbing.

Lilith mused over his reply for a moment as she finished healing all the wounds in his back. "To think on the battlefield I felt pity for you, yet it is you should be pitying me. The one blind to the orders wrong-doings." Lilith answered, circling the stool so she stared down and him and he was eye level with her breasts.
Taking a look at the wounds on his chest, Lilith tsked herself. "Lay down across the bed, it will make this easier on both of us. Especially should I faint from using too much of my magic."

"There are good intentions in the order, much like yourself." He replied, hoping that she wasn't looking down on herself. Her heart was in the right place for the reasons she became a paladin. Lloyd watched her circle around him, occasionally turning a bit red when she would be right in front of him
He was surprised when she said to lay across her bed, but did as she requested. It was a good idea, but he wondered if it was a pure one.

Unaware of how awkward it would should somebody walk in on them, Lilith straddled Lloyd's chest and began probing the wounds of his chest. Finding the most grievous of them she set about using her tender fingers to heal them first. Sure enough, the extended use of her magic was taking its toll on her as she began to see black spots but she felt she owned Lloyd this much and continued to push her magical limits.

Lloyd did everything in his power to keep his composure in check. As much as he enjoyed her position, it was probably for the best to not try to exploit it. Over time, he could feel her power diminishing.
"Enough, Lilith. You've helped me quite enough." He said to her, reaching for her strong hips.

"No... I must... make up for... what I've done..." Lilith replied, clamping herself to Lloyd's chest with her powerful thighs and what little strength she had left, which wasn't a whole lot as she continued to expend more and more as she used her magic to heal Lloyd's wounds.
Well beyond the point of fainting and still clinging to consciousness, Lilith touched up the last of his wounds before collapsing like a rag doll atop his chest.

Was this Paladin ever determined to get the job done! With her latching herself to his torso, it appeared she wasn't going to be easily moved. Before he could push her off, she fainted. True to her word though, she did heal up all of his wounds.
"Lilith, Lilith?"
The Blood Knight poked her gently, not getting much of a response from her. What should he do? Stay? Leave? Take advantage of her? These were all very much options for him, each having a consequence. In the end, he decided to say with her. Lloyd took off his remaining armor as well as he could with Lilith sleeping on him and joined her in slumber.

Despite the conditions she fell asleep under Lilith slept fitfully through the night, blissfully unaware that someone else shared her bed and that she was currently using said person's chest as a pillow. It was only when the morning sun began to beam through the window and warm her exposed feet with its rays did she stir. Opening her eyes, Lilith was surprised to find the blood knight she'd come to know as Lloyd in her bed. Even more shocking was that she found herself sleeping atop him. Scrambling backwards off Lloyd and in turn, the bed, Lilith crashed to the floor.

The sound of the crash woke up the blood knight. Realizing that Lilith was no longer in bed with him, he could only assume she had just learned that he was still in bed with her. Turns out he was right in believing that.
Lloyd leaned over and saw her on the floor. "Morning, beautiful." He said to her, at this point he was teasing her. Getting out of bed himself, he helped her up to her feet. "You're alright there?"

Mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water, Lilith soon found her voice.
"You and me... we didn't... you know?" Lilith asked, taking in their state of semi-undress. She hesitantly scooting away from him on her butt. "I can't remember anything... after I let you in my window..."

"Maybe we did, maybe we didn't." He continued to tease Lilith, though it was frustrating to know she may have forgotten his story and his confession. "Would you have wanted us to have done something?" Asked Lloyd once more, he planned to tell her, soon though. Maybe he should know this first before giving her the absolute truth to their evening.
Lloyd would extend his hand to her since she scooted away from him with great speed, but didn't expect her to take it.
