*fails at title*
Who: Charity & Liliana
What: *shakes head*
Where: Realm HQ, main room
When: About now. Just after Liliana's Potions Lesson. Lunchtime
Why: why not? It's bound to be interesting.
"Thank you, Professor. See you tomorrow morning." Liliana bowed her head slightly as she turned and left the potions room where she had her lessons. Brown wings folded at her sides, wondering to herself if she was succeeding at keeping her emotional turmoil and thoughts from interfering with her lessons -and if she was keeping them from Severus as well. He said nothing, of course, so perhaps she was at least succeeding in the former. He was sure to voice his disappointment in her otherwise.
Her gold tipped pads made little sound as she padded down the hall towards the kitchen, both from her small size & the daily training Lily still kept up with Zell. Passing a familiar door the petite female paused, tempted to at least glance inside. A paw went to the mythril symbol at her neck and she glanced away sadly before continuing on. He's probably not even there... and why hurt him more if he is?
She walked with quiet purpose to the kitchen and made herself a sandwich -tomato (super thick slices), lettuce, & just a thin layer of liverwurst on rye. She floated the sandwich and a bowl of cranberry juice out of the kitchen and into the main room ahead of her. Setting them down before a cushion Liliana settled into the warm gold folds of the fabric to enjoy her lunch.

There was someone else in the main room already lounging on another cushion, minding her own business. When the other came in, an uninterested glance was given in Lilianna's direction... until she realized.. that hey... she knew who this was.
"Well now.. there's a familiar face" she said smoothly, smirking just a bit. It wasn't really hostile.. just smug. A glance of amber eyes given to the sandwich that Lilianna posessed, and then studying the femme kitsu in general. "Trying to drown out guilt with food, are we?" She knew some of what had happened with Edward and Lily.. after all... Envy had been spying and she was Envy's daughter and accomplice in crime on occassion.

Guilt may not have driven her to eat, but the mention of guilt certainly caught her conscious and held it, making the bite Liliana chewed difficult to swallow. But she did, heart lead as she lapped from her juice before answering the speaker. "Guilt's not necessarily a factor in having lunch." The crimson female said softly, though her voice was firm & no-nonsense. Who was this female, to speak of such a thing.
Green eyes narrowed in a studious way as she regarded this unknown female. There was something about her... Liliana was reminded somewhat of Envy. But that did not seem right, somehow. Familiar face? I don't know you. "I'm sorry, should I know you?"

And there was that familiar grin, disturbingly dark... and at the same time, amused. She was far too much like her father, and while she might not be quite at his level... she had her moments. Green tails lashed, but otherwise, Charity remained upon her comfortable cushion, seemingly having no desire to move.
"No... but I know you." And it was then that Charity's form changed into someone that Lilianna should very well recognize. A familiar pair of intense golden eyes, framed by blonde bangs. A small kitsu, clothed in black, and wearing a braid. "Lilianna, right?" the fake Edward asked.

Tears filled her eyes at the sight of him. oh, she knew it was not Edward, even if she had not seen the female change before her eyes. The look behind the eyes was not quite right, she did not hold herself as he would. And something was not right on the limbs that would have been automail.
Still, it had the same effect as looking on a picture of a loved one missed -only stronger, being in three dimensions. "Edward... you're not Edward..."
Her paw moved to lay upon her wand, ready. This female only attacked her heart, but the pain was nothing to what Liliana herself had done and was doing to all of them. "Envy..." Realization as a half forgotten memory stirred past her thoughts to the surface caused her to shake her head. "no.... his... daughter?"
Well, that would explain it. How could she have forgotten what Setsumi had warned them of. Not like there's not been other things on your mind... Edward. Endless. Her heart cried softly. Would it never end?

The cheap copy of Edward smirked and rested his chin on a held up paw, just before his form shifted back into that of Charity's original form. "Very good... you're not as dumb as you look... well... almost." After all.. her shifting abilities weren't nearly as good as her father's. Envy could be extremely convincing with his appearances and even with the mimicing of mannerisms.
"When he saw you... he believed it... if only for a moment" she said, her voice sounding as if they were just having a casual conversation. Charity saw the wand.. but did not pay it any heed. She wasn't intending to bring harm to Lilianna, but well... perhaps she got a little bit of Envy's glee with making others uncomfortable.

Liliana ignored the jibe to her intelligence & appearance. What did she care what a spawn of Envy thought of her?
"You imitated... me?" Her heart dropped, pain flashing in her green eyes. Liliana could think of why. And hope that other reasons were not applicable. A low growl rumbled from her. "You used me to hurt him! Didn't you!"
Her paw tightly wrapped around her wand. How dare she!

A brow arched, "So what if I did? You've already done that yourself."
She couldn't take all the crecit for it, after all... it had been Envy's influence and suggestion that lead to what happened. Her father having done most of the talking as well.
Charity licked her lips, before grinning toothily, "He tastes good, doesn't he?"

Her face fell, anger draining from her somewhat as she paled. The Envy-spawn was right. Lily herself had hurt him far worse. "I didn't want to... I don't want to..."
And that was the problem, was it not? Wait... why was she telling this to a stranger, much less an Envy-spawn?
But before she could get mad about that the green haired female dropped another bomb on her. Her first reaction was not flaring anger, but memory. Her heart pounded from it and she shook from ear to tail, remembering the feel of Edward's mouth upon hers and wanting more... oh yes... he tastes very good...
Jolting herself back to the present, away from such thoughts as she should not be having Liliana jumped to her feet, fire in her eyes to match any anger of her Aunt Ginny's. Anger at this kitsu & anger at herself. "You kissed him as me!" Her growl was lower than before, fueled. "He better have bit you!"
But another thought slipped into her mind. Edward... how could you have let her close enough to kiss you? Surely you'd know it wasn't me sooner? Or... did you want me so bad you were willing to risk it?

Charity knew she was right... she wasn't stupid. Plus she's just as much a female as Lilianna is. Also, she's probably a bit more perceptive for her own good. She had her own... interests.
The green haired kitsu chuckled, "He did... I think that's when he realized it wasn't you." She then tilted her head curiously at Lilianna, the smirk never fading. "Don't see why it matters to you. You stomped all over his heart, I could see it in his eyes." She was oddly enjoying this... but then.. she didn't give a flying flip about Lilianna.. so she had no remorse over it. Edward had intrigued her somewhat.. from her father's clear hatred of him... to his sparking attitude. "Why should you care? You've done enough damaged." Smirk.

"Good for him." It took you that long, Edward?
Anger. Guilt. Hurt. Pain. Her heart ached, seeing Ed's haunted golden eyes within her mind. Why not just blast the smirking femme with a curse or other spell? Or a potion?
Because though she had taken Liliana's form to hurt Edward, everything else said was true. Lily would be a hypocrite to blast her for the truth. It was not as if she said anything new. Nothing Liliana did not already know.
Green eyes flashed. "It matters. I don't need to tell you why." If this femme could guess she still loved and wanted Edward than let her. Liliana was not about to give her that ammunition if she could not. Or did not already know. "I did not hurt him for sport!! I didn't want to hurt him!" And I wish I'd never had to! Oh Edward! Endless! Why did it have to come to this??

Charity shrugged, "You might as well have. Did a damn fine job of it. Tsk. So much for friendship and love." She sighed dramaticly, "Now he's all alone... and he knows it. But what does that matter as long as your happy, right?"
The Envy spawn carefully watched Lilianna, judging her reactions. She was starting to see why Envy liked to mess with Edward's mind... it was rather amusing. The green haired femme trying to find a foothold on every word Lilianna said to further the impact of her own words.

"What do YOU know of friendship & love?" Liliana snapped over the sin-spawn's dramatic sigh. The crimson female did not mistake the gesture for concern for Ed, but she froze as if struck at the words. A knife, serrated, wedged in her heart. You have your family... Endless has his family... what family does Edward have? Not that worthless Roy. Setsumi & Terasu... but no living blood kin... not even a place to call his own...
Hot tears sprang to her eyes. Yes... she was happy. But she was not. Endless saw it. Saw it that next day. Liliana wondered if she could ever really be happy again. "It matters..."

Charity snorted at the retorted words. What did she know about love and friendship? "Enough" she replied coldly. Even Charity had her own family, and she was named after the 'love' virtue. She might not know it in the same way... but she wasn't a heartless shell of a kitsu either.
"Could have fooled me... but then.. I'm not the one you need to be fooling. After all.. he'll get over it right." The femme gesturing with her paw as she spoke nonchalantly.

What was it with this female had her so angry? Was it simply that she brought out everything that was bothering Liliana and flung it out as if it was nothing? Or that she almost seemed to care?
But that was foolish. The green haired female did not care. That did not make her words any less true. And that was the pain of it.
Green eyes narrowed with a soft snarl. "And who do I need to be fooling, miss know-it-all?" Get over it? It was not something to get over. She could only hope in time they would not hurt so much from it, might mind happiness.
