Snippet #2092775

Lilith tried to hide the bemused smile beneath her hand as she watched the man quickly turn scarlet. Well, she hadn't meant to cause that reaction. As she opened her mouth to apologise, he simply disappeared. She blinked for a moment, mouth slightly agape as she tried to say... something. She had seen stranger things of course, met one or two people with 'gifts' before, but never a man just vanishing like that.

The teenager piped up again. "We can both tell you're still blushing. Invisible or not."
Turning to face her, looking a little surprised. So she knew about his... ability then. Did she have one too? It was possible, with all the weird things happening recently. The woman fell unusually quiet for a moment or two as she felt the other girl scrutinising her. She decided to ignore her for the moment, quelling her curiosity and instead flashing the man a small smile. "Sorry. I forget sometimes..."

"So....how....damaged, I guess, were you? When we found you, I mean? It must not have been that much, right? Since you're so healthy right now." Grey eyes followed her closely as she passed by. Lilith had never claimed to be an actress, besides, she'd never had any lasting injury since she was a kid, so how was she supposed to know how to act like? As she gestured at her with her hand, she caught sight of something uncomfortably familiar; traces of blood around the fingernails. Incredibly easy to miss, deceptively hard to remove. This raised her suspicions, but she remained silent, just watching the kid until she had finished. "You did look like you were in a lot of pain though...."
Thankfully she quickly moved her attentions back onto their host, asking his name.
"L-Liam. Liam... Banks..."

So here she was, recovering from, judging from the headache, what should have been an overdose, in the apartment of a man she had met not an hour ago, who could also turn invisible, with a teenager with some sort of attitude problem.
"I'm Nadi. I don't suppose we could also get your name with your explanation?"

What the hell. She let her arm fall with a shrug, a grin spreading across her lips. "Lilith Ross. For the record, I definitely broke some ribs, probably punctured my lung while I was at. Painful, I guess, but it could have been worse. I'd need surgery for a collapsed lung, and I metabolise anaesthetic too quickly for it to work properly. Your turn now, Nadi. How about you tell me how you got all bloodied up earlier?"
