Her gentle smile switched to a full on smirk at his reaction, though she withheld the chuckle that threatened to emerge. Still, those thoughts were ever distracted from when Lark laughed and started to talk about. She laid her head on his neck, giving him a much more innocent affectionate nuzzle, instead of the... other kind she was so fond of doing. That is, until his words made her snort with laughter and shake her head.
"I know," she agreed, snickering. "She was so frustrated with us, and she didn't even see the half of it. She'd have been so angry with us if she heard or knew everything going on." At the same time, if she had, Lillie probably would still be laughing at the moment with the years gone by. It was hard to believe so many had, when it felt like it was only a season or so ago. Ha, Harmony must be pretty damned glad they somewhat grew up. Though... most of the yearlings then are gone, Vail, Shaye, a few others but notably those two. It did make Lillie wonder what they were like now - how had they changed? It'd been so long... "I kinda wish we could start those days over again," she murmured in a much more serious way. "So many of us that were there then are no longer here, and a lot of the anger was just... unnecessary."
Oh thank goodness Lark responded to that with humor. Although, she knew that he knew what she actually was going to say and that too was moderately terrifying. The 'oh shit' slowed down in her mind nevertheless, and she took a deep breath before semi-forcing a small smile on her face. "I know, right? But I figured it'd be best not to hurt your feelings." Damnit, she'd respond with humor too then.
"Talk"
