โ leaped really high up, and leaped from place to place. Occasionally looking around for something. Hmmm. . . Oh !
The ride was getting a little bumpy, her โclothingโ frankly had a lot of windows. It was pretty much almost a tight and flowing kind.
โTwenty eight actually ! Now hold on!โ She may not seem like it, but she was actually extremely more well versed on the world than most others in New Eridu. Sheโs seen it all. Though she was a government agent, she still kept a smile and a crack that brought light to many. She โ
"What...? Pretty girl? Why are you- waaaa!"
She wasn't expecting to be lifted up like a sack of potatoes! But it beats walking with a terrible headache like this one...
"... too youthful? Lady, you can't be much older than, what, 23? Stop acting like you're some wise--
โ naive but eh. Iโll getcha out!โ So much energy in her voice, and quite strong as if that wasnโt enough before.
Aaaaand so she began waking with Willow over her shoulder.
โMan, I canโt have a pretty girl dying out here. Come here!โ She walked over to Willow, and without very much effort, she yoinked her up again ! Not just to pick her up, but also putting her over her shoulder. Just light enough for her to carry.
โWaaaay to youthful, a bit โ
"Oh, Corruption wise I'm perfectly fine. I think the nausea is coming from the blunt force trauma you justifiably applied to my skull..."
She sways a little in place, her balance a bit off...
"And yeah, I wasn't prepared for a Hollow, I just felt this urge to kill, and the--
โ right outside of this place. Good thing this is just a companion one. Though on that topic, you donโt look corrupted at all. So Iโm assuming you havenโt been here long.โ
โHuh?! You came in here without a carrot, AND you acted impulsive?โ That certainly got her quite surprised and concerned. Now it feels like she has to baby sit a little.
โBlegh. . . all right, yeah. Exit coincidentally is just up on ahead here. Luckily I caught these guys -
"Mind if I tag along with you out of the Hollow? I... uh... don't have a Carrot."
Going into this Hollow was an impulse decision, she didn't have any time to prepare like she usually would.
"Plus I'm... feeling a little ill..."
โ my leave. Then again I may have to get somewhere safe.โ
She was mostly talking to herself here, as she had worries beyond this group of heathens.
โYou donโt even know what I need this for. . . But to keep it short, yeah I needed something valuable from these guys. Depending on whatโs in here, could lead to many different things.โ
She gets up, getting a light stretch.
โWell now, I think I had better take โ
"Well hey, not all is lost. You aren't coming back empty handed after all!"
She grins, clearly satisfied with the results of her slaughter of these Hollow Raiders not screwing Lilim over.
"Sooo, no harm, no foul, right?"
โ securely in a slot.
โWeeeeell ~ Guess itโs not all for nothing after all, hopefully.โ
She swiftly gets to work, putting the box after closing it on a small chain, locking it to one of her rings on her tights.
โGood! Think thisโll do.โ
โWhat am I doing..?โ She could only scoff to herself at her useless searching, or at least that is what she thought for a little bit here. She gently reached into a pocket on one of them,
This came out with something small, a case that seemed to be locked with a โ
"Like I said, I can't exactly control it. But I should be good after that concussion you gave me..."
Damn, her head hurts like hell...
"Oh, thanks for the compliment. My sisters picked it for me."
She crouches down next to Lilim, offering a second set of eyes to the --
โ straightforward lock. Intrigue was caught instantly.
โA locked box? Letโs see, no key on you. Hmmm.โ Reckless aho, she simply used a balled up fist, outright smashing it only barely. It did hurt a bit doing that. Though opening it up, she saw a small, bedded chip laying โ
โ toward her, bending a knee down to uncover more of the corpses lying around. Though it feels she had little reason to and was doing it out of a habit,
โCondition huh. . ? Well, as long as you donโt do it again I can forget about it.โ She can compromise on this, if anything just a bit of a bump in the road for her.
โHeh, thanks ~
Willow. Reminds me of the flower. Thatโs a cute name you have too.โ She gently was smiling โ
"Like I said, long story, not really gonna unpack that right now. All you need to know is that it's a condition I can't control."
It's a bit shameful to admit, but she's stuck like this for the rest of her life, all because of that bastard Akira Kasai...
"Lilim, huh... what a--
โYou know, you look a lot more convincing when you are not trying to what it looked like stabbing me.โ She looks to the side, a bit hesitant to follow up on the statement.
โI hope youโre better than that though. . . anyway, Lilim! Thatโs me !โ
"That's- yeah. Okay, that's fair enough. Not a great first introduction, I know... but I'm usually better than that. As for who I am, my name is Willow. It's nice to meet you!"
โI donโt know much about you other than what youโve already tried to show me, which isnโt a good impression. Iโd have to. . . letโs say prepare if you were to help me too.โ
The red head looks off to the side, taking a hand to dust off the otherโs jacket a little.
โI think โ
"Uh... well, I can make it up to you. I'm pretty good at espionage and info gathering. I could help you find a new lead on these guys. What do you say?"
