awesome_lillyIt's just barely getting warm enough for Lilly to be outside without running straight for the Caribbean inlet. Scotland in the spring is still chilly, but sometimes it's nice to be somewhere without any walls.
She's sitting on a rock by the lake, just looking out at the water.

Poor Cerberus. Lilly can't even be somewhat freaked out without lots of talking.

Right?

Date: 2008-03-03 06:25 am (UTC)"How long have you been dead?" No. It doesn't appear as if her tone's had much effect.

Date: 2008-03-03 06:32 am (UTC)"Four and a half years," Lilly says, absently.
She's not looking at him anymore.

He can't- he can't possibly know. And there's no way that number can be right...
Is there?

Date: 2008-03-03 07:19 am (UTC)Lilly's staring at him, confused and, well. Not happy.
"I didn't really go to any of them, though."
no subject
Date: 2008-03-04 04:52 pm (UTC)"What?"
Even the smallest of hamlets has something. A small shrine, a municipal harth... Didn't go to any?!
It's hard to say who looks more nervous at the moment. He'll be taking a step backwards out of lightening bolt range just in case though.

Date: 2008-03-05 04:34 am (UTC)"You're mad. Just like the other one! I clean myself of this whole thing. You've got far more to worry about than being short an obolus, meatling. If I were you, I'd keep my head down. They're here, you know."

Date: 2008-03-05 04:42 am (UTC)Lilly is switching from confused to pissed off. This may or may not be progress.
"Look, I am not the crazy one here. I am not the one telling people how long they have to wait for their afterlife or that I need to worry about some mysterious they."

Well, there's really not point in starting now. She'll probably be turned over to the Furies. If she's lucky.

Date: 2008-03-05 05:01 am (UTC)"You're with Medusa, right? So like, the Greek Gods or whatever? Not my gods. I don't worship them or anyone else, really, and when I die for good I'm not going to some stupid underworld with weird dog-guardians who turn into people just so they can get all confusing and rude!"
She takes a much-needed breath.

And without another word he turns (figurative) tail and flees for the relative safety of the treeline. Maybe his portal has returned. Maybe he can go home and pretend this horrifing conversation never happened.

Date: 2008-03-05 05:14 am (UTC)He's a guardian of the underworld, but not her underworld, right? So he's just a crazy dog-person with an overdeveloped sense of religion who knows nothing about her or her whole deal, right?
Right?
