Hello Alex

Lilim walked through the Terra win and approached the room Alex and the others shared. She stood and had the curtsy enough to not enter the room unexpectedly. But her brain failed her, she forgot to knock, she just stood there playing with her fingers. Her brain eventually kicked in but still no action was seen from her, she didn't know what to do and wasn't sure if this was the right choice. Or even the right place to meet him, he shared a room with three other boys and well she knew for a fact one was in the Vestibule chatting up a young girl.

Alexander had just returned from the kitchen and saw sable in the vestibule and sighed. so they really are back? he thought to himself before silently leaving for his room.
it was best that he avoid sable, even if they were room mates, he hadnt used his bed for a long time. but remembered that a stash of books still lay under it.... best to get them before they fully move in again.

as he aproached the dorms he spotted a lone figure standing by his door. his heart skipped a beat (do vampires have heartbeats??? well if they did it happened) and his stomach knotted slightly.
it was Lilim... like a ghostly specter of haunting memories but also strong feelings.

He just stood there silently watching her, just watching.

Lilim fiddled with her fingers for not too much longer before she took a deep breathe and reached up to knock on the door, before she could plant her knuckles against the wood of the door she became discouraged again and puled her hand back down. She folded one hand over the other resting them on her chest. She looked to the side and down letting out a held breathe. Naturally out of nervousness she began to feel as if she were being watched. She looked up and around before she rested her eyes on Alex and gasped. She had froze for a moment previous feelings rushing back to her and shock and surprise blanketed over her expression. She looked back down to the ground in a quick manner feeling rude and impolite for staring. She smiled happy to see him again and looked up her head still in a downward position. "H-hello Alex." She reached up from her hands position and began to fiddle with a piece of hair, releasing the energy of her strong emotions.

He stood there still watching, seeing her cautiously reach for the door and then retracting.
Same old lilim he thought, same kind beautiful lilim.

When she turned around a small smile lit his face before being dashed when she looked away...
Was she ashamed to see him? Or afraid? He hoped it was neither when she greeted him shyly.

"Evening..lilim, its...been a while hasn't it?" His voice calm yet behind it a barrage of emotion begging to break free.

He rubbed the back of his head before smiling again showing he hadn't changed.

Lilim took small breathes before her courage built back up. She looked fully back up and walked to Alex. She smiled to him. "How have things around here been? Well," Lilim shook her head, "I don't really care about that. How have you been?"

It was at that moment that Alex relised she looked slightly different, perhaps a little older.
as she walked over to him all he wanted to to was grab and hold her but alas...he could not, not yet anyway.

"things around here i know not of much except for what i hear. he replied honestly. being locked in his DIY room kinda stops it.

Alexander then lent against a wall and smiled. "and me? ive been.." he paused to ponder the question before answering while looking at her face with a half smile.
"ive been busy and yes im ok, so how are you?"

Lilim was curious in several aspects of his answers. Why hadn't he not know anything other than hear say and why was he busy? She quickly pushed her thoughts to the side, it was no time to be nosy, curious or concerned, she was met back with the person she loved and she intended to enjoy their time together. "I'm great now that I'm back," Lilim responded as the answer to his question.

Alexander smiled again but in his head the reasons for her leaving were still bugging him..
"so er...did you enjoy your time aaway my dear?" god that felt so weird to say after all that time. being a vampire you tend not to notice the time but when your without one to love it seems like a very long time indeed.

"A bit, but it defiantly wasn't the same as the mansion" Lilim smiled up at him. She did enjoy her time away, but of course she would have preferred to stay here at the mansion with her loved ones. While she was away it wasn't all bad though, relaxing on vacation not having to worry. However minor withdraws were into play, she wasn't allowed to read and said it was for her own sake, she had to find and pick up a new hobby, she found a few things she liked but nothing that had compared to reading. She saw a different side of her brother as well, not Ace or Crow, actually HIM. He did a good job keeping Ace And Crow locked behind or tamed at the very least, but when it was just him he was a kind reasonable man, all the women that had come to talk to him he easily let down in courtesy of Valora, a women who he had previous relations and he didn't intend to look at another until Valora herself confirmed the relations were over.

"Thats good, im glad you enjoyed yourself" he stated cheerfully. he then looked around and laughed. "where are my maners? would you like to come in and sit down?" he slid past her and opened the door to the room. "after you" another grin on his face.

it had been a while since he had been into his room and he didnt know what kind of state it would be in. hopefully quite clean but knowing his room mates it would probably be messy.

"Oh ofroucse" Lilim answered when he offered her to come in for a seat. She walked in and viewed the room. Sables part of the room completely empty, he never really went in there and would have used it as a place to put his stuff but, he didn't have any stuff. She viewed the other sides of the room she knew for a fact Avira shared a room with them and one other but she hadn't met many people around here. The room was in a normal state, it was obvious it was used and lived in but not a pig stye, Lilim liked rooms like that, it was different than her routine of always having perfection.

He instantly looked at his bed and mentally had a sigh of relief...his books were still hidden.
"sorry about the slight mess, havent been in here for a while" he admitted.

He sat down on his bed and patted next to him.
this still felt slightly awkward to Alexander, he had tried to forget lilim after she had left, believing it was him she was running away from.

"so.... been back long?" he asked already knowing the answer.

Lilim only smiled when Alex apologized. She tried to make it obvious she didn't care at all but when it comes to messes not caring was usually no means to the other, feeling like they shouldn't let themselves be seen in a mess, it wasn't a matter of if the other person cared it was a matter of pride and self perseverance. She replied in a quiet tone that it was perfectly fine and normal to have a room that was being lived in.

Lilim walked to the bed and sat down next to him without a second thought. She didn't want him to feel unwanted or odd near here. There was a slight suspicion of uneasiness coming form his air. Did he think he was the reason she had to leave? Of course that wasn't the case she went because her brother was forcing her to take a break from the knowledge she wanted that made her a mad woman. "Not at all. I just got back in fact." She felt like she needed to add in she hadn't been to her room or anywhere else but held her tongue in suspicion that it might be too much.

Alexander sat down on the bed beside her and pointed out that he had not been in this room since she had left.
Soon after he just looked at her, a small smile appearing at the fact that she was back.
he had seen her brother in the hallway talking to moe and felt it was only fair to inform lilim that she was taken.

"I saw your brother you know? he might want to be careful, shes married" he chuckled.

in all honesty it was a good feeling to have Lilim back but the feelings were still slightly awkward.
what do you say to someone you havent seen for a long time? its like a cliche' meeting of how do you do etc with no real depth.

He wanted to say so much but held his tongue in fear that he might scare her away.
