@ infernalpursuit [ @miratenebrarum Pinocchio ] asked:

“Are you lost?” <- said in the most plain and emotionless way ever btw

Again. The thief found herself in a unfamilar place. Again, not the first time, and surely not her last. Standing now in a city she had never visited, Lilli was indeed lost. She also saw not a soul besides herself. Perhaps a dead place. Maybe a place in which she could find some valuable goods...?

A voice ripped her out of her thought's, and made the woman spin around... just to find a boy not standing to far away from her. Something on him was strange, though Lilli couldn't exactly tell what it was. Surely not his plain and emotionless way to talk to her, because she replied just the same, with her face also showing barely any reaction.

" I suppose I am... Do you mind telling me where I am? "

Perhaps she could get some information from this one. He was the only other person she saw around so far after all.

[schattenmagier]

She had not been bored that much actually. In fact, he seemed to be very... friendly. The thief simply didn't knew what else they could talk about. Besides, if she wanted to talk to him, or if he wanted to, they sure aren't going to leave any time soon.

" Alright... Thank you. " " Hm. Perhaps he will spare me a moment of his time... "

Lilli mumbled, and turned to leave towards where Venigni had pointed out Geppetto to be. Hopefully he is up for a chat. The more information she gathered about the situation, the better. Maybe there will be something useful.

As Venigni wished her good luck, she turns towards him again for a moment, just to give a nod, and disappear out of sight.

"Ah, but of course."

Here he was, rambling and likely boring her to death! As if anyone could get bored with him, anyway. Perhaps a little overwhelmed? He can get a little bit verbose, after all!

With a quick clearing of his throat, the Prince of Krat tips his hat to her, giving a quick nod.

"Then don't let me take your time any further! If you need any help... or just to chat, I'll be here.

As for Geppetto, well..." another clearing of his throat. "He's usually very busy, and a bit... distant, lately. "

He never was a chatty person, but in the last few years he just got more and more closed off... but, honestly could anyone blame him for that? Venigni wasn't the only one accused of messing with all of Krat because of his puppets, after all!

"...but I'm sure he could take a few minutes to chat. Best of luck!"

@yellowfingcr asked:

🌿 Heysel offers her cheek, then taps it with a claw.

Oh no... OH NO!!! Why Heysel?!? Why anyone at all?!? And who the fuck even thought it's a good idea to hang up a mistletoe in the first place? Stupid tradition!

And Lilli knows that she could simply tell the hunter that she... isn't participating in this tradition. Hell, she hadn't ever participated in the holiday either. But the way the cheek was offered, and tapped by the claw... Wait... Did Heysel always had claws? ... Nevermind. The thief really didn't wanted to disappoint her friend...

" .... Fine, fine... "

The woman simply muttered before putting one hand on Heysel's other cheek, and lean into just to give the cheek, that had been offered, a small peck. It was quick, and short, and after it was done, she immediately pulled away again, with her face red as a tomato.

" Here... Happy? "

[schattenmagier]

🎁 Heysel blinks prettily.

[ Time for gifts // Accepting! ]

" Heysel... "

Did the hunter knew that Lilli had... something for her? But how? She hadn't mentioned it to anyone. But perhaps... Heysel had snatched a glance or two when the thief had been working on the small gift. Because that's... that's what friends do, no? Especially at this time of the year. Or at least, she had heard so from locals...

Lilli hides the little trinket behind her back, before letting out a low sigh, and gently taking the other womans hand... just to place a small wooden crab figure inside her palm.

" Here- I uhm... made this for you... I think I heard that you... like crabs? "

[schattenmagier]

" I am not nervous! "

The thief hisses again, and crossed her arms. Clearly being defensive now in her body language as well as in her voice. She knows he is right. That she indeed know what Soot is talking about. But how can he expect to her simply telling him everything that she so desperatly tried to hide, as well as ignore. Just because they had been partners in crime? She barely knows anything about him either! And never tried to stick her nose in anything revolving him. Not because she wasn't curious, but because it simply might be to intrusive.

Lilli is simply narrowing her eyes as the man points out that she is lying to him. It doesn't seems like he is going to drop the subject anytime soon either... But there is also something that she can't really describe in his expression. In his eyes. And her face softens just a tiny bit as he spoke again... Had he too seen something? Just like she had? Things that cannot be explained. Things that, if they told others about it, they would think of them as insane... He had seen the shadows moving in her presence after all... The first one to notice it in forever... Would it hurt to tell him?

And now she sees the tension in him, as he starts to speak once more. She wouldn't exactly say that he is pouring his heart out, but it's rather him giving her a reason why he is so sternly about her telling him what is going on... And if she hadn't seen strange things before, she would have never believed the story he was telling her just now.

He... Is he afraid she is the same as that man? That she will also kill people for whatever reason, with powers that should not exist? It does make sense. But it's not her having any powers! She doesn't know why the shadows followed her every step! She doesn't know why the darkness is always on her heels!

" I have no idea what you think I am! And I do not care either! But I can tell you that I don't fucking know what the hell is happening! "

The thief finally hissed between clenched teeth, and her fingers burying into the fabric of her sleeves.

" I have no clue why those shadows are moving, and following every step I take! I have no fucking power over them! And how fucking dare you to imply that I do have control over that! Every day I see them, while I wish I wouldn't! "

Her hisses became louder, until she was almost screaming at Soot. Her perfect poker face had been broken, and there was anger, and something like fear to see in her expression now as the truth, that she had tried to hide so desperately, spilled her mouth.

" I have fucking nightmares about the shit I see! They are everywhere I go. In every dark corner! In every dark alley! So my only fucking option is to ignore, and run from them! Because I have no fucking clue what they are, you fish smelling bastard!!! "

She is more angry at him now for spilling all this than everything else apparently. Lilli wouldn't be surprised if he didn't wanted to work with her anymore after he now knows this secret of hers.

" And I don't fucking care if you think I am like those you have fought before! Because I sure know I am not! "

"Know what I mean, ya do." If there hadn't already been a wariness to Soot before he confronted Lilli with his suspicions, there certainly is now in the sudden set of his jaw and the narrowing slant of those flinty eyes. "Can see it in them eyes o'yours, hear it too. Ain't seen ya so nervous 'bout anything."

For all that their line of work entails, be it breaking into an entirely too well-off fool's home to make off with everything worth stealing or stalking someone who'd made a few too many enemies in their time until the time's come to slit their throat from ear to ear, there's been markedly little need for deceit or deception between the two of them. Certainly, neither have exactly poured their hearts out to one another, but there's been sense enough to remain on at least partly the same page... lest the knife better served for prying open doors or slipped between a mark's ribcage ends up pointed at one of their backs.

Not so much now, it seems. "Lyin' to me, ya are." For all that Soot still seems unnerved and wary of whatever Lilli's unwilling to speak of, he doesn't so much as budge on the matter. There's something new to the look of his face as well, something that sits darkly behind his expression and promises nothing good the longer it remains. "Know good'n well I ain't just seeing things. Been 'round too long, seen too many..." His words trail off into a low mutter, peppered with black oaths.

Yet rather than turn further teeth to Lilli in an attempt to drag out what she's keeping to herself, Soot simply looks at her instead. Those sharp eyes of his glance about her person, from her defensiveness plain on her person to her own blue gaze... before he rasps out a sigh. That tension that had been lingering in the set of his slight shoulders as it always does just before they've gotten into a scrap with another rogue loosens, and he pinches the bridge of his nose with two thoroughly stained fingers before shaking his head slowly.

"... fought a man, once." He sounds tired. Exhausted even, and as Soot settles down on a nearby crate the sleepless lines of his face seem deeper than ever before. "Back home, I mean. Could speak, and th'river would do what he say. Dragged near a town's worth o'folk under 'fore I could do him in." Soot whistles lowly through his crooked teeth, turning the tarnished ring round and round on his finger seemingly without realizing it. He doesn't meet her eyes as he mutters, "Dunno what ya are, Lilli. Don't rightly care. Just want t'know if ya like he were. Like they all were."

@infernalpursuit asked:

@sxnguinesxnctum from the fainting meme ❝You’re really pale.❞

The thief was feeling terrible. She had barely slept, and hadn't eaten anything in a while. Lilli was just feeling so nauseous. Of course she had been sick before but... This was getting worse and worse. And of course she tries to hide it all. Not asking for help. Unable to get over her pride to do so of course. And even though she tries to hide her feeling very unwell, the vicar still seemed to notice something. Well, her pale face for now. Or he had simply not called her out on anything else so far.

The woman is pretty sure he will offer her that blood again if he does find out... And while she had always refused it so far, she was tempted to take such an offer now. She was feeling sick for days now. Of course she thinks about it... Even if it would include of her accepting someone's help.

Lilli swallows, and slowly looks at the man. At Laurence. Her movements had been just a tiny bit slower than usual, though she hoped he wouldn't notice. Then she opens her mouth, and-

" Am I now? "

-and answer with a counter question. It was a terrible habbit of her whenever she didn't wanted to answer a question truthfully. And she knows the vicar won't be satisfied with that answer either. So Lilli clears her throat before trying again.

" I believe I am always this pale, Vicar... Nothing to worry over. "

[schattenmagier]

" If it's bad... why are you doing it then...? "

And not like she had done only 'good' jobs before...

[schattenmagier]

That's a regular sugar cube... Does this count as candy? No matter what, Lilli still takes it. But not eying it a little suspicious. And- oh. she already has thrown it into her mouth.

" Thanks... Heysel. "

@schattenmagier replied to your post “"You might ask yourself why I haven't removed the...”:

Candies? 👀

​Heysel hands her a sugar cube, a serene smile on her face.

"Happy Halloween!"

[schattenmagier]

Miss thief. Why don't you become a hunter yourself? You seem like someone who would be good at slaying beasts!

" Hm... I see what you mean... Well. If they pay me enough, perhaps I would consider joining... "

A pause, in which the thief crosses her arms, before speaking again.

" And... if they don't try make me drink that blood all the time of course... "

[schattenmagier]

turn on, sounds, and marks?

[ N - S - F - W Headcanons! // Accepting! ]

turn on — what turns them on?

// There are a few actions that do turn the thief on. Actions she wouldn't openly admit that she likes.

Lilli gets turned on when her tighs, especially her inner tighs, get squeezed, bitten, or if a knee is pushed between them. Bonus points if, when a knee is shoved there, she is also getting pinned. Either down or against a wall doesn't matter.

And on the subject of biting. Yes, she likes that not only on her tighs. The thief especially likes this on her neck, but also any other body part is fine. (there are exceptions though, like her crotch)

Also being fucked roughly is also a big turn on.

sounds — what sounds do they make during sex? do they laugh a lot during sex? are they chatty during sex?

// Good luck getting her to laugh. While the thief isn't super inexperienced, she is still very awkward during sex. But she can be chatty! But her being chatty mostly includes complaining, and maybe insulting her partner, when she is being teased in any kind of way. Any kind of complainig and insults are not serious though.

And if she isn't chatting like this, expect moaning. A lot of it. First they will be barely audible, but the longer it goes on, the louder she gets. Or if it's going to be a rough session.

marks — do they like being marked? do they like marking their partners?

// While we were at biting... Yes. She does like being marked, while getting bitten. That's also a big turn on for her. Lilli does also sometimes mark her partner back, but only if it has been done to her before. It's less her marking someone as her's, but rather as some kind of 'revenge'.

... She of course also might complain to the one marking her with a bite later, if it's in a very obvious place, and she has to cover it up. (Again, not serious complaining because she obviously finds it hot)

[schattenmagier]

impact — do they like spanking/being spanked? whipping/being whipped? hitting/being hit? any other kind of impact play not listed here?

[ N - S - F - W Headcanons! // Accepting! ]

impact — do they like spanking/being spanked? whipping/being whipped? hitting/being hit? any other kind of impact play not listed here?

// Lilli doesn't really is into the whole spanking or whipping thing. And no hitting either. It's actually a big turn off for her if her partner wants to do those kinda things to her or wants themself to be the receiver of this.

That doesn't mean she isn't into some kind of pain though! Lilli does like like getting bitten for example! Hard enough to leave marks, and even bleed.

[schattenmagier]

The last one of the bandits was still stalking towards her, so he had his back turned towards the massacre that took place insvolving the other men of his group. Lilli though had a perfect view of the scene. How Xiro slaughtered the bandits without even a moment of showing mercy. And she found it impressive. The way he cut into them, or dodged their attacks. They had no chance at all. But he wasn't quick enough before the last of the bandits reached her. He was already much to close...

" Game of cat´n mouse´s over, girl! "

The bandit spoke, smirking and raising his blade to give her the finishing blow. If she could buy a little more time... perhaps her 'savior' would be able to slaughter this one too before her time was up. So, the thief took the last remains of her strength, and raised her blade towards the man, in a parry, as he brought his own sword on her. The two blades collided, and with a move of her wrist, Lilli was able to push away the deadly blade of the bandit. A small smirk appears on the woman's face. But it did not last long, because the man quickly recovered, and instead of his blade, his free hand, clenched into a fist, and collided with her head this time.

She is knocked down, and starts seeing stars. Everything in her vision becomes a blurr of movements and color. She didn't notice, but the moment she had been knocked to the ground the darkness crept closer. Though not towards Xiro, but rather towards Lilli and the bandit. And when he rose his blade once again... it closed the distance in a second, and wrapped around the man who had noticed it just now. Who noticed it far to late. He screams as he gets entangled into the black mass, even swinging his sword at it, but it didn't seem to do the darkness any harm at all. And when the bandit was completely engulfed by the shadows, the screaming stopped... before the silence was broken once more as a disgusting bone breaking noise echoed from where he had been standing a moment ago.

“A frontal assault?” Xiro tutted, shaking his head. “Those never work.”

The first of them was upon him, but it mattered little. Sidestepping the blade’s downward swing, he pivoted, twisting easily and hooking his foot ‘round the man’s ankle. Down the bandit went, just barely missing falling on his own sword. His luck was short lived, for the next one tripped over him, and his sword wound up lodged in both his own throat and the back of the first’s skull. Heh, Xiro thought, two for one. The remaining seven were less inclined to do his work for him. They changed tack, attempting to instead surround him on all sides. He dodged the first few blows, then finally yanked his sword free to parry the rest. Where his enemies were haphazard and unskilled, he was a surgeon. A quick jab to the heart sent one to the great beyond. A slice to the hamstring brought one to his knees, and he was relieved of his head soon after. Usually, Xiro liked to take his time with scum like these, make them feel the penalties of their mistakes. But they were not the only threat to worry about, if you could call them a threat at all. His eyes briefly flicked away to the shadows. He could almost feel them slithering like snakes. That was where the real danger lay. His short sword pierced one man’s chin and upper pallet to tickle his brain. Another fell to a mere swipe to the throat. Blood sprayed, the mist nearly getting in his eyes. The Darkness continued to pull at him all the while, gnawing at the edges of his perception, as though trying to distract him just long enough.
