Charity rolled her eyes before getting to her paws and stretching lazily. "Yourself of course... isn't that what you're doing? To get by without the guilt." After all... Lilianna's words are her own denial, at this very moment... were proof enough of that. She was just fooling herself. This girl was incredibly dense. "Oh well... maybe I'll take my chances with him. That pipsqueak is quite the looker, and not a bad kisser either." She shot Lilianna a grin before moving towards the doorway with her swaggering gait.

Again, this infuriating female was right. Lily bristled but said nothing. Why give her the satisfaction of an audible confirmation? Bad enough Liliana wore her feelings on her figurative sleeve.
She literally flew into action as Charity spoke of going after Edward that way. Her heart pounded and her eyes flashed passionately as Liliana pulled in her wings to land like crimson furry in front of the swaggering female. Ed's alchemy symbol swinging forcefully across her chest. "Don't you touch him!!" her growl reverberated through every fiber of her being. "Never touch him again, you hear? And he's not a pipsqueak!!"
Liliana could not comment on Edward being a 'looker', her body beneath her fury remembering the feel of him as they lay in the yard of her home & watching the sunrise together. But she had to bite her tongue to refrain from commenting on his kisses, finding 'not a bad kisser' to be woefully below the mark.

"Or what... you'll break his heart again?" Charity replied cooly, her voice even with that infuriating calm. "You're no better than I, you've toyed with his emotions just as effectively. You say you love him.. but then turn around and run to whatever the hell his name is. Why not get a knife and run him through?"
Lilianna is certainly easy to rile isn't she? Not to mention extremely foolish. With that, Charity tried to step around Lily and continue on her way.

"I do love him! You may be right on everything you've said but don't fool yourself for an instant you have any idea why!! Do you think it was easy? Do you think it is easy? Well it's not!! I don't know if you can even love, given your heritage, but even on you... even knowing you've hurt him intentionally ... Even on you I wouldn't wish this!!"
Depleateted the winged female simply deflated into a heap of fur and feathers where she had stood, not even attempting to stop the sin-spawn.

Charity stared at Lilianna boredly as she ranted, an ear flicking once.. but otherwise there was no other reaction from the green haired femme. The sin-spawn being completely stoned face despite the shouting, as if wondering what the hell she was yelling about.
"Do you think anyone cares -why-? Or about your excuses?" She snorted, for she certainly didn't. After all... it was only as hard as Lilianna made it.. and she's dug quite a hole for herself.

But Liliana did not answer. She hoped Edward & Endless cared why... then wondered if they did. She cared why... but was it only because she was trying to cover all the angles, to 'prove' to herself she had made the right decision ... or to convince herself she had not. Could she do to Endless what she had done to Edward, especially now? Would that make anything better or all right? Would she hurt just as much? Would she be happier?

That's just something she would have to figure out, isn't it? Charity wrinkled her nose in disgust at Lilianna, and finally vacated the room, having grown tired of the stupid banter. She'd had her fun, and now it was over... perhaps she would give it another go at some point.
That cocky grin tugged at the corner of her lips as the Envy spawn made her way down the corridor.

Down the corridor....
Edward... Liliana sat up sharply, a myriad of emotions filling her. Perhaps the Envy-spawn was not going to Ed's room. Perhaps she did not even know it was there. Liliana herself suspected he was gone.... but what if Lily was wrong? A fierce & undeniable emotion surged within her. She could not run to the door, and tip off the sin-spawn should she not know, but Liliana was a witch -she did not have to resort to muggle methods of running or even flying.
It was only seconds. Perhaps even fractions of seconds. She barely paused to think what she was doing, beyond keeping Charity from Edward were he by some miracle still here. Liliana disapparated from the main room with no sound but a faint pop to signal her leaving. Wings unfurled she apparated to a spot just inside the room & glided to the floor, green eyes blazing and fixed upon the door.

Charity just sauntered down the corridor, knowing it likely that Lilianna might suspect as much from her... lucky for her, Charity's interest in Edward wasn't really in that form... there was another she had her eye on. However, the steps of the sin daughter could be heard outside the room... but they soon passed.
Edward was still there, for he hadn't heard word from Setsumi quite yet. She was likely having trouble locating Terasu. Thus, Edward had been spending most of his time resting, and he was sound asleep on the bed when Lilianna appeared. The teen completely unaware.

The fire in her green eyes did not abate nor her offensive stance waver until the sound of Charity's passing went beyond her hearing. Only then did she slowly relax. Only then did she take pause to contemplate her reaction. Why had she reacted so violently? Some need to protect Edward? Why? Liliana knew her friend could take care of himself. Physically.
Lily felt a cold stab of guilt as she lowered her forelegs and put her wand away. Her best friend... and he had no defenses against the type of blow she had given him.
So what was it? A possessive reaction? Just to keep Charity from him? Or something more? She had given up any rights to such thoughts & anything accompanying them. When she made her choice. When she broke his heart.
Turning, feeling that Edward was there and yet quite sure he was not broken eyes fell on the sleeping teen's form. It felt as if her heart stopped beating and yet pounded within her at the same time. One gold tipped paw stepped closer, followed by another. Edward...
She had no right to be here yet could not seem to make herself leave. It seemed to take forever to cross the room and when she did Lily simply watched him sleep. Could she... could she still change her mind? Did she want to? Would it be any better, putting Endless through the same... worse after she had said she was his? Was she just a tease?
This was never what she wanted, had she given thought about it at all before. And if I did change my mind after deciding... would either Edward or Endless trust me again? If I can't stick to my choices...
A soft sigh whispered from the crimson female, her wings curling around her petite body and giving her no comfort or warmth. She watched him, laying on his back, flesh paw over his chest, automail limb flopped onto the bed beside his head. So very Edward. He was her first friend... the first kitsu outside her family she cared for. The winged female was not sure she could live without him.
What did she want? She could not have both. She could not expect one to concede to the other on their own. And if one did... would it be right? Lily thought she knew what she wanted. But then she had wanted her father for so long... how had that played into her choice? Both males were students. Both had lived difficult lives -Ed two. Both had father's that were... less than satisfactory; again Ed two from what she could extrapolate from the way he did not speak of his father from before. Both could be adorable and playful, thoughtful... Liliana sighed. Still despite their similarities Endless was more like Remus. Had that affected her choice?
And if that little nudge was right.... why could Lily not find any solace in that?
Was she like the character Ado Annie in the musical Theron was always watching, simply loving more whomever she was with at the moment?
Then why was it Edward was always the one to break into her thoughts when with Endless, and not so much the other direction? Was that... was that a clue?
Finding a place on the bed for her small body Liliana hopped lightly beside the sleeping teen, careful not to touch him despite longing to most desperately. Except her head, which she rested lovingly on his automail limb as she gazed forlornly at his sleeping face. In such a way she could feel him, but he would not feel her. Selfish perhaps, but with everything else selfish she had done recently it seemed a small concession. "Edward... I'm not sure I can live without you..."
Her thoughts after the confrontation with Charity had drained Lily of her energy. Not that the fretting female noticed when her eyes drifted shut and sleep claimed her where she lay.
