With the state Lilith was in, Eve had just unleashed a tidal wave of emotion that the she was very ill-prepared for receiving and processing, yet emotion did not heed what the languid mind was taking time to absorb in entirety. Warmth spidered from inside of her ribs and spread across her chest at first, tears bid to flood over her eyes and break their film. A tired heart beat with pride, just to be broken as fear shot through her like a sudden branch of icicles.

Her head felt heavy, and yet Eve lifted it with ease by her chin, making their eyes collide in meeting. Exhausted, yet frantic moonlight shining into the eyes of the calculating and vengeful sunset.

My baby. Our baby. Wordless, but perhaps Eve can hear it, even though it is spoken in Lilith's mind. They are such ancient creatures woven together with old binds, perhaps she hears the pleading in Lilith's head. Don't hurt our baby, Eve.

Such a rotten thing - our baby, given everything. Charlie is Lilith's baby, but Eve has spent so long looking after her, the original mother playing mother. She thinks that there has to be a genuine care for the girl, muddled with other emotions, but there. Perhaps it's a ploy, a victim playing into the power of her captive and hoping for head way, hoping playing the strings of the heart will have an affect for mercy upon Charlie - perhaps it's something actually thought in a dim light, but the begging is genuine.

Then, Adam's death. The news finally settled in and compartmentalized as sloppily as shoving clothes into a drawer - disorderly, but it stuck in a mind wading through miasma. There wasn't sadness, she loathed the man too much, but there was an emptiness. The only other being in creation like her, parentless and born from dust, as old as the Earth, made from the Earth, gone. It's just her now.

How strange it is that even in the state of murk and mire that she is in now, she wonders how Eve feels about that - she originated from Adam. In another life, in another place, this would have been worthy of discussion for them both to speak their piece on to one another. That life, however, is not this one.

"Adam is.. Adam is dead?" Lilith inquired in a sluggish voice, slurring her words. Charlie redeemed a Sinner, Heaven wants her stopped at 'Lilith''s command, Adam is dead, and a deal is broken. What are these strings of events? And most importantly in the moment.. "What are you going to do?"

E . ― IF CHARLIE WASN'T DIRECTLY GETTING IN HER WAY- EVE WOULD'VE BEEN PROUD. It wasn't often someone was able to disturb H E A V E N enough to cause such chaos. In truth, Charlie reminded Eve of Lilith- a woman that showed no hesitation for her beliefs. Someone ready to defend what she cared about with her very LIFE- yes, Eve could see it. Even if the girl took so much from her F A T H E R, from the rosy cheeks to the wide eyes of wonder. But Charlie had her Mother's ambition, her drive, her longing for a better place for her p e o p l e. It was all LILITH. She had wondered, many times how long she shall enjoy the peace. How long she shall keep the chains tied around necks in order to enjoy what she had longed for so many years. How long she would keep the QUEEN of HELL under her foot.

Maybe there had been a shred of pity inside of her, Lilith was her predecessor. The woman created to have the title of HUMANITY'S MOTHER- in a way, Eve had a shine towards the woman. She admired her, but also hatred everything that represented it as well. Perhaps that was more of her hatred for the KING OF HELL talking, but even still ... she finds herself paused in staring at the exhausted body of the first woman.

Dazed eyes had always been what spoke to her- the exhaustion and the constant chained that kept her bound. Kept her weak, it was the first time in many when she had noticed a s p a r k. Something that made Lilith tense, the information of her daughter. Eve could relate, if not for her children, Eve felt like her life would've devolved into nothing. Once again, she could relate to Lilith. Perhaps Lilith would feel the same sense of pride for a daughter which has done so much.

" Charlie is amazing, she longs so much for the d r e a m you set up. The betterment of hell and its CITIZENS .... heh, she considers the sinners people of her KINGDOM. It's almost ironic, don't you think ~? " She saw the irony ... Eve raises her hand, giving a small wave as if to dismiss the worry she could sense in the woman's voice, " Do not fret, you're daughter is fine. If anything, I think her motivation has only rose .... She has made a way for a S I N N E R to redeem. " She allows the information to sink, Eve gliding across the floor, fingers take Lilith's chin and tilts it upwards, " And Heaven wants it to stop, before it becomes out of their control. They want M E to stop her, now- I think we both know Heaven doesn't d e s e r v e my help ... our ... help. But, the deal I had made is now compromised. Adam is dead. "
