This night ain't for the faint of heart

Ulric continued to work on the deer and Lillith couldn’t quite look at him as she spoke her answer to the question. Tears were already forming in her eyes and threatening to spill over as she thought about Roman curled up in his room alone, refusing to let her stay with him, barely clinging to life. She was going to lose him and she couldn't even spend his last days with him. Ulric was quiet for a long moment, he knew, it was obvious and she didn’t even have to say the words she hated so much.

”Thank you,” She replied pittifully with a sniffle as her father eventually spoke again, eager to help her in any endeavor. Lil did eventually bring her ruby eyes up to her father’s features as he finished the bowl and actively sought her gaze before he spoke again. Again her emotions were apparent as tears welled and he leaned forward to kiss her forehead. As he offered his help further Lil couldn’t hold it back anymore. All the pain and worry she had for her boy exploseded from her in the form of uncontrollable sobs. Lilith fell against her father’s chest and cried for the reality she found herself. Was this how Ulric felt while she was sick? Helpless as he watched the one he loved wither away?
