Lillith was starting to more severely feel the effects of the day, she’d been through so much more than usual. She left the territory, she did some herb gathering, she helped Roman defend from the saber cat attack. All of it was beginning to visibly weight on her, in the way her ears and eyelids drooped. Physically she was exhausted but mentally she felt excitement. Ulric returned her appreciation and she knew with those words that he would do anything for her. Even trying to accept this friendship she found. She watched her father’s gaze as it shifted when he looked back at Roman and she knew how much he worried about her. Lilith was confident in the boy’s goodness, and she’d stake her own word on it.

She didn’t expect him to suggest she stay here with him tonight though. She brightened a little as he explained. It was sound logic, Gwyn would be able to keep an eye on her most importantly. That and the infirmary was almost public space compared to her messy room. She wasn’t about to say anything different about the cot situation. Lil really liked Romulus but she was uncomfortable being up close and personal with her family most of the time so it wasn’t him specifically. She wouldn’t have to confront that, but she had found herself enjoying the feeling of her paw wrapped in his.

Roman spoke up first, giving his sincere gratitude. Lil was pretty impressed with his manners, that was one reason she felt like they got along well. He teased her but he was also a polite gentleman. ”He’s really good at finding herbs, and much better at fighting than me.” Lilith added on, hopefully adding to her father’s opinion of her new friend. She didn’t have a lot of wolves that cared about her but she had a little experience. Romulus felt like he cared. Lil didn’t know if she was ready to come outright and call him her friends yet, but he had saved her with no regard to his personal safety. Without hesitation. What else could he be after that but a friend?
