“That’s funny. – I didn’t ask for anyone’s opinion.” The hunter squinted looking over to the other before leaning back in his chair. The blood stains on his shirt were bound to be questioned. But Blaze wasn’t too bothered by the looks he had received. Besides, there have been worse things that could be spotted in New York. His work as an officer allowed him to be able to find people easier than others. The poor soul being found was never too lucky when it came to him.

"Even if you don't ask for them, people still feel very entitled to give them," she piped up from staring at her own glass. Her annoyance at the male giving an opinion about the blood on the guy's shirt. "Could be much worse, I've been soaked in blood before from working in the ER," she commented with a shrug and took the last drink from her beer, raising her hand to ask for another.

rowwiism:

A soft laugh slipped from the blonde’s lips as the other called it a good stress relievers. She couldn’t disgree with her words. There was an animal side in people, especially inside of a werewolf, that needed to release all the stress and adrenaline that had build up over time. Fighting the perfect way to do so. There was a reason wolves in the wild playfought and hunted. She believed it to be part of her nature, which she hadn’t given into in ages. “Nah, those days are in the past.” she replied, hoping the other wouldn’t ask for an explanation. Therefor she tried to make one up herself. “I’m completely out of shape. Hasn’t trained properly in ages. They’ll kill me.”

"It's easy to get back into shape if you ever wanted to," Lily wasn't one to press for answers that another didn't want to give. She wouldn't want people pressuring her about her own past. "I thought the same thing when I first found out about this ring, I was like 'oh god, I'm going to die,' and then I did get beat up pretty badly, but I retrained and now I fight in the ring semi-regularly."

                    Laughing at the other’s response, Willow quickly grabbed them both a map before speaking. “That doesn’t sound too bad to me —– we’ll be each other’s life rafts during this adventure, okay? Oh, I’m Willow, by the way.”

"It already is sounding so much better, you should be better company than the group I was with," she said with a polite smile. In all honesty Lily had a hard time being around married women who had kids, it reminded her so much of everything she had lost in Italy. "It's a pleasure to meet you Willow, I'm Lily, we both names of nature as well," she observed.

“Cheers to a good brawl, guys. May the strongest idiot win” the blonde called out as the bell sounded somewhere in the background. Everyone who was only the slightest bit sober still could hear it in her tune, the tipsy mood the woman was in after quite a few shots. Maybe one or two too many but the bottle was her way to unwind from a stressful day. “Ever been in that ring?” she asked the person next to her as she turned around on her barstool in quite an ungraceful fashion.

[lilyvirk-x]

Lily had a long day at work and decided to unwind with a cocktail or two at The Sanctuary, watch a few of the fights, enjoy the atmosphere. It was dark and dim, the alcohol was plentiful and the people were all there for the same purpose, it was her kind of place to just blend in with the crowd. "Yeah, a few times, it's a damn good stress reliever," she answered the question honestly, turning dark brown hues onto the tipsy blonde, "yourself?"

“I am sorry. I don’t have much time to talk. I have a fight scheduled in 20 minutes and I am making sure that I am ready for it.” He said as he turned away from the punching bag to the person who had addressed him. “Here to wish me luck or?” Xavier needed this. He needed to fight. The werewolf had missed it and with everything that had happened he figured that this would be a better outlet than alcohol. 

[lilyvirk-x]

"Wish you luck, yeah, sure we'll call it that," Lily said with a small, fond smile. Xavier was part of the pack like her, she'd always support any decision her pack members made. "I can say that I'm jealous, I wish I could go out of town for a little while, Xavier," she shrugged and leaned against the doorframe. "You're leaving to fight, yet, you're spending all that energy on punching an inanimate object."

               “Okay, you caught me. I’ve never been to the zoo and already I’m a little lost as to where I should actually start. If you’re not busy and in the mood for animal sight seeing, maybe we could just walk around together?”

[lilyvirk-x]

Lily didn't know why she went to the zoo, she had met up with some co-workers and such with their kids because she needed to spend time out of her apartment. However, the women had left about 15 minutes ago and here she was, standing in a crowded area, people staring at the scar on her face or just ignoring her completely. Her attention snapped up when she heard the girl and smiled fondly, "ah yes, sure, I could use some company, however...count on me being just as lost," she mentioned with a laugh.

michaelxryder:

                   Michael said nothing while the woman expressed her concerns and then debated what would be worse. When she made up her mind did a tiny smile become visible before he nodded his head into the direction he then walked into. “Name’s Michael Ryder. Feel free to text it to a friend in case I kidnap you after all.”

Lily fell into step beside him and tucked her hands into her scrub top pockets, "Lily Virk, you know, just in case I'm the one doing the kidnapping," she said teasingly. She slid a hand through her hair to move it away from her face and cast one last look back at her car before looking back ahead.

coreyxrahim:

Corey offered her another sympathetic smile, waiting until Lily had ordered to pay before the other could. He signed to her to find a table, walking over once he’d gotten his change back. “So what’s new and exciting at work?” he asked jokingly, a smirk on his face as he picked up his coffee.

Lily was going to protest when he pulled his wallet out, but he had the drink paid for so fast. She narrowed her eyes at him playfully before taking a sip from her drink. "Well, there was a gunshot victim last night, I was covered in blood, which is always great," she said jokingly. " but other than that, nothing new or exciting, how about you? How's things at the library?"

“From the way you were complaining, it sounds really, really rough.” He raised an eyebrow. Everyone made things seem so dramatic when they were complaining. “I think you should cuss this Susan lady out.” 

"I wasn't complaining so to speak, just...voicing my displeasure at having my day off ruined," she said with a small laugh and a shake of her head. Lily's eyebrow rose, "oh no, I don't need that kind of drama where I work, too much hassle," she said.

                   “You couldn’t, but it would have been interesting to see you try.” Calypso smiled, taking her place next to the woman in the queue. “Tell me about it. They underpay the people cities depend on the most. Health care and law enforcement save lives, just as the fire department but we don’t exactly swim in the greens as a thanks for it.” Not that she was complaining however, for Calypso loved her job. It helped make the world a safer place and she didn’t need all the wealth from her job, as she already had a decent amount of money from her inheritance. Her parents both had successful jobs when they passed, as well as her oldest brother. Being the sole survivor of the family, she received everything as soon as she was of legal age. It definitely made life easier, but she still chose to live in an apartment in Hell’s Kitchen while she could definitely upgrade. “They must call you in all the time for a reason though. They must trust and respect you, right?”

Lily nodded, "I mean yeah, I suppose they do, I'm damn good at my job and everything, but a girl just gets so exhausted," she laughed and shook her head. Finally they got through the line and Lily ordered her usual which was an Iced Vanilla Latte with coconut milk.

kanedavenport:

               At her words, he couldn’t help but laugh loudly, clearly unable to keep the amusement hidden. Was he cocky? Yes, very much so, but everyone seemed to be under the same delusion that they could take him; or any of his family for that matter. Probably the Davenport’s own fault really —- they kept themselves civil; the people around them (save for the Bordeaux’s)  had no idea what they could truly and one day would do. “Its better than me calling you sanitary pad, unless you’re into that one more. When you say better, are you talking about yourself here? Because, sure, I’ll give it a whirl if you’re willing.”

>Lily shook her head as he laughed and then rolled her eyes at the next nickname, "or you could just call me Lily and we'll be square, Kane," she said and then her eyes widened and she laughed out loud, "oh please, you're too old for me," she said with a grin. "Now can you move, so that I can leave and try to bleach my brain at the thought of being naked with you?"

addisonxvale:

“Shit,” Addy nodded at Lily, rubbing her elbow as they walked, “that’s gotta be rough. I hope it does. Maybe you should see if Kels or his sisters could come up with something to help if that doesn’t, I’m sure they would.”

Lily nodded, "yeah it has to be rough, so I'm fairly certain this will work, he said it's worked before so," she just shrugged as she put the vial away. "If not I will plead the little girl's case to the Tallis' and see if maybe they'll help."

“Sounds like you’re having a rough time right now. That sucks.” He probably shouldn’t have butted himself into her personal life, but Jonah couldn’t help it. “I mean something bad like that’s never happened to me, but I can only assume it sucks.” Jonah was always full of energy, always ready to do more than he could possibly handle. 

Lily turned and looked at the man behind her, "well I wouldn't exactly say rough, but not exactly having the BEST time," she said with a sigh and then laughed. "Lucky you, it does suck."

felix-ravensberg:

He considered compelling her to say yes, but in the end, he didn’t need to, and grinned, always liking it when he won. “Fantastic.” He held out his hand. “Felix, but you already knew that. Still, we should be properly introduced, if I’m to take you to lunch. What do you like?”

Lily held out her own hand and shook his, "nice to meet you Felix, but yes you're right, it's nice to be properly introduced. I like about anything honestly, I'm not picky, it can be nice or it can be a burger joint," she said with a shrug and a smile.

“I think we might but let me check for you,” Nicolas replied but before he could turn away to ask the kitchen, the woman was speaking again. “Believe me - I wasn’t judging. I just try to make sure the people who come in here are going to be able to get home at night,” he told her. He pulled the towel from his pocket and started to clean the bar. It was more to keep himself busy than to actually keep it clean. “I’m sorry about your loss,” he said. He was curious to know what had happened but he knew better than to ask and well she had said she had wanted to forget. “I’m going to check and see if we have nachos,” he told her before turning to walk towards the kitchen and shoving the clothe in his back pocket once again.

Lily nodded, "well thanks for not judging, if my coworkers could see me now," she shook her head and swirled her ice around her empty glass. She waved off the apology and leaned her head down on the bar as she waited for the tender to return.

michaelxryder:

                     “Sure.” The man spoke, already moving into the direction he had originally been heading into when he stopped, sighing at his own tendency to be ‘nice.’ “I live just up ahead, I can drive you home?”  At least that way she wouldn’t have to waste her time on an Uber driver that might have smelly armpits or a creepy eye twitch. 

Lily looked up from her phone when he offered her a ride, her eyebrow rose. "Is it smart, offering a complete stranger a ride home? Or would I be dumb to accept it from a stranger?" she questioned with a slight teasing lilt to her tone. "But I think you may be less creepy than the last Uber driver I came in contact with, so I think you'll be the lesser of the two evils, even if you turn out to be a serial killer." She put her phone away, "lead the way, I live in Upper West Side."

joslyncurie:

          Emotion was a funny thing. How Joslyn always tried so hard to conceal it; years of training herself to hide everything there was to know about her. She was hardly somebody who fixated on permanent relationships; just for the sake that things always went wrong. And yet here she was, crying in the middle of a damn coffee shop over somebody she thought was dead. Somebody who, just like Joslyn, should have been dead. Nai had been through hell, though, that much was clear. Such thick scaring muddled once striking features and she could only wonder if they even stopped there. What mattered was that her best friend was alive. She had spent the past year grieving over the loss of their entire pack, she simply couldn’t believe this was happening. “You and me both,” she repressed a relieved laugh, hugging her fiercely in return. 

This had to look weird to anyone who was spectating this. Two women who were seemingly strangers before all of this were suddenly embracing and crying. But she couldn't help it. Everyone had been taken away from her, yet here Josie was, in New York. "Iced Vanilla Latte with Coconut Milk for Lily!" the barista called out her order and she finally let go of Joslyn, "we have so much to talk about," she said as she wiped her eyes and went to get her coffee. Once Joslyn had hers she went outside with her and sat at a table, "how did you get away?" she asked.
