While the death of Natalie haunted many of the people from Ul'dah to Limsa, Lili had another death to worry about.
The run in with Paradyme, Ella, and little Dawn had been unexpected out in Gridania, and the news of Liliana's death even moreso. Lili ran her fingers through her hair as Ado continued to sleep besides her in their rented bed, letting out the occasional little snore before curling up further against the side of his mother. At the hand of Lanza no less? He seemed volatile, but not exactly violent. Or had she just misread him?
Lowly she cursed to herself. If only she hadn't gone home after all of that. If only she had stayed perhaps her look alike would still be alive. If only...
Well. It didn't matter anymore. She promised Paradyme she'd get him answers so he could focus on his daughter.
With that in mind, Lili slipped out of bed and slipped on some pants and a shirt. Glancing towards the door, she could see the light coming from beneath it that signaled Kaiten's aether. The poor man stood guard all night, bless him. He truly was owning up to being a 'personal knight', nonofficial title or no. As she scooped up Ado, the sleepy Lalachild grumbled against Lili's shoulder as she strode to the door.
"Mommy?"
"Yes, baby?"
"Where are we going?"
She opened the door and stepped out into the hall. "Home to the Society, little love. There's work to do."
