don't get the shotgun

Ulric leaned down to kiss her head and corrected her on her words and Lillith had to swallow some very uncomfortable emotions. She blinked back a few more tears as her father wrapped his arm around her and embraced her strongly. He would always be a foundation for her, but even if she hadn’t realized it, her reliance on him waned from the day that Roman carried her home. Even if she was growing up and becoming the adult she was always meant to be, and he was very proud of her. She squeezed against his embrace before he eventually released her.

Ulric gave her an out, asking if she really wanted to go patrol along with him, speaking of his knowledge of how awful a hangover was. However much her warm bed and Roman’s arms tempted her to take the offer she wanted to go on this patrol with her. ”No, I want to go with you.” She told him without hesitation. There was one other Big thing she wanted to say. ”I want to tell you something else.”

Lillith hesitated slightly as she walked along beside her father as they started the patrol in honest. Her rhythmic paws gave her confidence. ”I want to marry him someday.” She told him finally as she paced along the border, keeping her ruby gaze on the horizon but her subtle smile truly revealed her feelings.
