The Shadow's clothes seemed as if they were shifting, no longer the plain black dress the real Lily wore but becoming the type of long, bell-sleeved costume one might expect to see on a witch. Was it an effect of the thicker fog here?
She felt the confusion through the link and then something else. Desire? But they couldn't get distracted by this now.
"You don't have to tell him that!" she protested. "And I wasn't thinking of it in that way!" in case he got the wrong idea; with the mission today, she knew quite well that would have been a terrible way to mess with her energy, possibly disastrous.
But it was true. She had been tempted, nearly went to knock on his door before realizing it would have been pretty pathetic, like an upset child seeking a favored stuffed animal to cuddle. Instead, she eventually fell into a fitful sleep in her own bed after an hour of staring at the ceiling while the question of whether she made the right decision with that posting repeatedly ran through her mind.
The Shadow pouted at not getting a more interesting reaction out of him and turned her eyes back to Lily for the moment although her fingertips continued to slide over the pages, lingering on the sketch.
"And why shouldn't he know? He is your partner. Or did you plan to go back to denying that too?"
Stroking the bookmark again, the Shadow brought the charm at the end to her lips as she addressed Lezard. "How about you leave that witch and be my partner instead?"
It giggled. "Or I can at least tell you about that very entertaining spell she accidentally cast the last time she pulled a man into her bed..."
Cheeks burning, Lily huffed and yanked the book away from the Shadow. "Dag nab it! We've got more important things to do at the moment than discuss my love life!"
