[ She lays on her side, her eyes closed and one hand lightly drawing patterns (sigils) against the skin of Lilith's arm. Her father told her to find something fun to do since she had been working on the show the past several days.

Well, she definitely did that.

She liked Lilith as soon as she said hello and even after they've slept together, she finds herself extremely fond. It's partially why she's offering the sigils. A minor protection for when they part ways.] ]


Would you cheat it if you could? If someone gave you the chance to escape death entirely, or prolong it from catching up, do you think you would? [ There's something in the tone of her voice that hints of something hidden in the question. A familiarity with this topic, or maybe something more. ]

"I'm torn between pity and amusement."

It hasn't even snowed yet, but the roads are already at a standstill with so many cars as people rush to gather supplies. The panic buying is truly amazing. They're not used to snow down here, or ice. Which means those things they think will be useful are often as laughable as sad. They haven't had enough experience to teach them what to do to prepare, and they're too scared to listen to the advice being given.

Reynard has Pitch to thank for that.

He knows the Nightmare King is nearby. They've been keeping an eye on each other. Besides, the cold doesn't make the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. So he knows the embodiment of fear is able to hear his comment as he watches the traffic from atop a lovely little hill. It's red and gold lights cutting through rain as far as the eye can see. Beautiful, really.
