Watch your step

Her father returned her greeting and Lil was sure that was that, but she caught his huge form following her towards the storage and he quickly caught up with her as she went through and carefully selected everything for their meal at mid day. Ulric told her to continue working while he spoke to her. Lil worked on getting portions of a smoked ham while her father got comfortable, however much the girl wasn’t expecting him to bring up her day trips with Roman.

Her work slowed as slate tipped ears tilted back to listen to her father, a cursory glance back to find him still smiling. She tentatively returned to slicing the ham as Ulric went on, asking about keeping safe, asking about how Roman was treating her. Lil was a little guilty with how long it had been since she made time with her father, but he didn’t seem incredibly bothered. He had a pack to help run, Eska to look after. Surely not having her as a burden anymore was relieving for him.

”We’re always careful,” she assured him with a grin as she packed the cut ham away and replaced the cured meat in its place. ”He’s wonderful to me.” Lillith assured him softly. ”We’ve been training, and exploring… and having fun.” That was no lie, along with how much fun she had just going out into the world with him, she very much enjoyed how much fun kissing him had become. Not that she had any real desire to tell her father that even when she was always so open and honest with him.
