I have things in perspective now.

I had forgotten myself in wants, railing against the City, demanding my own deserved rights. Mother didn't lie when she said I was the most like her. I could easily become what I least want to be

It took you long enough.

[fallen_samael]

I take it you've changed your mind about something.

[halffaced]

My mind is unchanged, my Lord, only clearer.

Besides which, today seems to be a drinking festival and Lux will need someone to serve the tables.

[fallen_samael]

I've told you I require no obeisance. Not from you.

Very well. I trust you still remember how it's done.

[halffaced]

It has never been offered because you required it. Will you allow it?

And-- I think I can recall the art of tray carrying and cleaning glasses, yes. I trust that you will say something if you find me lacking.

[elainebelloc]

That's good to hear.

[halffaced]

I think I have been harder on you than it is my place to be, Elaine Belloc.

[elainebelloc]

... perhaps. But they were questions that, indeed, needed to be addressed. I'm still thankful that you asked them, Mazikeen. No hard feelings.

I'm just glad you two are okay now.

[halffaced]

I would feel better had it been my own choice where and when to ask them, not a trick of the City. Thankyou for your understanding.

I needed to remember for myself that the heart is not a selfish thing.

[one_of_heaven]

Pretty, pretty la~dy.

[halffaced]

Who are you?

[holymadonna]

M-Mother? Another Lilith must be.

[halffaced]

Yes, another Lilith. I would know if she were here.

[holymadonna]

Ahh. I see. It's not an usual name to share.

[halffaced]

I have heard of versions of my mother from many worlds - the name remains unchanged.
