#but i couldn't resist a little sitcom moment from my favorite quarreling siblings

Some comic relief from the Vatores, except Lilith's in her depressed era and Caleb's gone no thoughts, head empty (of everything other than music) mode.

🎵 faint organ melody 🎵

Lilith: I rue the day he learned to play that infernal instrument.

🎵 organ melody continues, growing louder 🎵

Lilith: I will fucking strangle him with my bare hands.

Lilith: Put a lid on it, Caleb. I’m trying to get my beauty sleep.

Caleb: Oh, is that what we’re calling it now? I thought you quit that nasty habit decades ago.

Lilith: Well, it’s not as though it’s going to kill me.

Caleb: No, but the smoke makes the house smell dreadful.

Lilith: I’d argue that god awful incense of yours smells worse.

Caleb: If the mere whiff of my presence irritates you so much, why don’t you just leave? You haven’t hunted in days.

Lilith: Are you encouraging me to kill?

Caleb: [scoffs] Of course not. I just mean it might be good for you to get some fresh air.

Lilith: I don’t care what you think is good for me. Just keep it down, won’t you? [erupts into fit of coughs]

-

Lilith: Finally, some peace and fucking quiet.
