"Being brave for you, giving you someone to lean on." Lilliana whispered softly, resting her hands on his back and tracing gently patterns against it with her thumbs.

"I never really knew mine either, still think of her though. or perhaps the idea of her."

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 22:47

"I don't need you to be brave."

"I tend not to dwell."

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 22:50

"Are you going to be brave so I don't have to be for you?" Lilliana asked gently, slowly moving back from the hug though she kept her hands on his shoulders. Studying his face and whispering, "You don't have to be scared anymore, tender heart,"

"I suppose that's the best way, hm?"

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 22:53

"If we all were to dwell, the world would be too sad to live in."

"Stop calling me that."

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 22:55

"The statement and question still remain the same, Lucian..."

"It would," Sence agreed gently, "It certainly would. You have a wonderful outlook on life, Leo,"

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 22:57

"I have a normal look on life..."

"I don't need to be brave."

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 22:59

"And why is that?" She asked with a gentle sigh.

"Perhaps I don't then,"

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 23:06

"Because I have nothing to be brave against."

"You're in hard times."

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 23:08

"Have my ramblings gotten through to you and erased your fears?"

Sence hesitated before nodding a little bit, "I- You are working right now, aren't you? I'm sorry, I'm probably distracting you from that. I'm sure your too busy to be speaking to me."

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 23:12

"Wasn't afraid of anything in the first place."

"No, the horse is still drinking it's fill."

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 23:14

"I do not believe that statement," Lilliana replied with a small sigh, dropping her hands to rest them quietly in her lap.

"Mm, it must be parched."

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 23:19

"You're calling me a liar?"

"It's a long walk."

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 23:23

Lilliana nodded subtly in response to that.

Sence nodded, picking the bread from the basket and ripping it in half, offering him half and whispering, "You must need nutrition from it too then, here,"

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 23:33

"I cannot take that..."

"Are you still leaving?" Lucian mumbled then.

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 23:36

"No. No I'm not..."

"Yes you can, take it, Leo. As a thank you."

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 23:38

"You've gained nothing from me just yet."

"Why?"

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 23:46

"If I go home he will hit me, and then will force me to marry a man who will do worse than that because he is growing impatient. At least I can have a few months of heaven before hell is forced upon me due to whom my parents may be." Lilliana muttered quietly, "Because I am scared and- and- and that's all there is to say because I am scared and I do not wish to go home."

"Kindness. I've gained your kindness. Take it, if the horse is that exhausted you must be too."

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 23:48

"I'm used to walking, m'lady. Don't... I am well fed by my masters. You may need that bread."

"I'm sorry you feel that way."

**BestNameEva** Tue 30 Dec - 23:54

"You could make it so I don't have to!" Lilliana snapped then, "You could make it so I don't end up with some Prince who looks at me like a highly priced item who'll hit me if I open my mouth! Or worse- I've heard they do worse... and if I do not give a son when I marry a stranger that terrifies me I will be beaten like a dog further and you could stop it! And I'm selfish for yelling at you about it but I can't help it I- I'm sorry excuse me." she mumbled, getting to her feet and leaving the room.

"I split it in half so I will still have some, please...."

Phoenix Tue 30 Dec - 23:58

"I- " Leo took the bread gratefully. "Thank you, kind lady."

Lucian sighed deeply and watched her go away, sending a maid after her.

Sence just smiled gently in return, "There isn't any need to thank me, you are just as kind for putting in a good word for. Perhaps, if I end up on the streets this winter you can share half of your bread with me, mm?"

Lilliana sat herself on the edge of her bed quietly, breathing shakily.

Phoenix Wed 31 Dec - 0:03

"Certainly."

**BestNameEva** Wed 31 Dec - 0:07

Sence smiled at that, "Thank you... Kind man."

Phoenix Wed 31 Dec - 0:13

"You have somewhere to live, stay the night don't you?"

**BestNameEva** Wed 31 Dec - 0:18

"For now," Sence confirmed with a small nod, "Do not fret,"
