It's dangerous to go alone! Take this

The silence that fell over them as they waited for Emile was uncomfortable, and Lillith’s ears rested against her skull as she fretted internally. Garnet gaze unable to settle as she searched the room and waited for him to appear. When he didn’t Lillith immediately blamed herself. He didn’t want anything to do with her anymore, and like their mom was going to leave them. She brushed away the thought as she tried to focus on her father. She lifted her chin but her paws moved nervously at the ground while Ulric began to speak.

He mentioned their birthday, and the gifts that he had gathered for them in celebration. Lilith still felt the weight of guilt within her as she wondered where Emile might be as their father brought Jane forward first. He fitted her with fur armor, the piece seemed to fit her sister to perfection. Lilith focused on Jane and Ulric as he spoke to her softly and fitted her with her gift before he returned his attention to her.

Lilith perked slightly as Ulric approached her with her own gift, a special piece made by her father. Something she could keep with her forever, she’d always have him with her and she would have the protection of the spotted cape. Lil stood up as her father presented the spotted fur, her red eyes blinked back surprise and tears as he wrapped the golden pelt around her shoulders. Lilith smiled, and before Ulric could pull away too far from her she placed an innocent kiss on his lips.

She craned her neck to admire her gift as their big brother received his own incredible armor. Lilith would have collapsed under the weight of something like that, and it didn’t stop her from admiring Ezra. Ulric told them how big and grown they were, but she had never seen her brother more grown up. Lil offered him a shy smile as her attention returned to Ulric as he addressed them once more. ”Thank you, Daddy.” She said softly as he looked them over and she tried not to think about their missing family.
