Lily-of-the-linkon - Lilynkon

As a heads up, I'm trying to work on revamping this account a little, cleaning up my tagging system and such. So bear with me if things look kinda messy!

Hey Lil! These are from Xavier!

Oh these are gorgeous!! Thank you so much!

I'll send him a picture to let him know I got them!

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ 

Send me a prompt!

Normally, Lily tries to be fully aware of her surroundings. Working as a Hunter means she shouldn't let her guard down, especially when by herself. Who knows what threats are just waiting for a chance to strike, after all?

Though normally, Lily doesn't have to resort to late night walks to try and clear her mind so that she can sleep.

Suddenly hearing a voice nearby startles her out of her own thoughts, immediately setting her on alert. Her head whipped around towards the source, her posture tense and ready for a fight. Once she finally recognized Xavier, she let out a slow breath that ended in a sheepish laugh.

"Xavier!" She half-greeted, half-scolded.

Once she finally processed his warning, she offered what she hoped came across as a reassuring smile. "I know, I know. But I'm a big girl, I can handle going for a little starlit walk before bed." She teased, running her fingers through her hair in an attempt to calm herself down further so her heart wasn't pounding so hard in her chest.

"What about you? You're out rather late too."

She teased, running her fingers through her hair in an attempt to calm herself down further so her heart wasn't pounding so hard in her chest.

"What about you? You're out rather late too."

Lily flushed at his questioning, even as her shoulders shook with barely suppressed giggles. She hadn't intended to roast him, but also.... It's kind of hard not to tease him about it.

"I don't know if I'd call it a roast per-say..." She hummed playfully as she got the sheet ready to put the cookie dough on for their first batch. "Just some lighthearted teasing."

She scrunched her nose up at him playfully when he pinched her cheek, not that she did anything to try and stop him. "We'll need to bake them for about 10 minutes per batch, and just check on them to make sure that they're cooked all the way through. I'll show you what that looks like with this first batch."

[Phone call, Xavier's voice sounds urgent] "I'm in great danger I need you to come downstairs right now. Please! You're the only one that can help. In fact, the entire complex may be in danger if you don't help me stop this right now."

As soon as she registered the urgency and he mentioned 'upstairs', Lily was rushing out of her apartment, only sparing enough time to grab her guns as a precaution.

"I'm on my way!" She reassured as she hurried upthe flight of stairs between them. Her thoughts were already racing a mile a minute, wondering what could possibly be causing Xavier of all people to struggle and call for help, especially without causing much of a ruckus.

By the time she reached his door her heart was pounding and she was braced for a fight.

Honestly, Lily hadn't thought too hard on him knowing where her building was. Xavier had been over to visit plenty of times, and considering his apparent habit of bragging to Jeremiah about the plushies he wins her, it's not far fetched to figure that he's mentioned they live only a floor away.

So his quick clarification just makes her laugh at her phone, shaking her head affectionately as she types her reply.

[ -> Jeremiah: Don't worry, I honestly figured that Xavier had mentioned it at some point. It's nbd. I'm actually the apartment just below his. ]

[ -> Jeremiah: But that sounds like a plan! ]

Some part of her told her that she shouldn't give out the specific location of her apartment so freely, but if he and Xavier get along so well, he must be a good guy! Plus he was so concerned about not creeping her out, she can't even pretend she's concerned.

~ Hey, Jer, about that plushie date, I've got the next few days off

~ If you want / are able to, we could try to get together sometime soon?

~ Otherwise I can grab us a bite to eat and bring it over during lunch one of those days as repayment?

[->Lily: Hey, Lily! That would be great. I'm no Xavier at the claw machine but I'll do my best 😊]

[->Lily: No need to treat me to lunch. We can just do milk tea if you'd like. Let me know what day works best for you. Don't worry about the shop, things are slow lately so I can close up one of these days and save on electricity.]

Cheering at the successful hit, Lily laughed as she slowed to a jog in order to catch up with him, her face flushed from the cold wind and the laughter.

"Okay, truce?" She asked through giggles, even offering a hand for him to shake. Her cheeks hurt in the best way, and she figures they're pretty even again. "Hopefully I didn't hit you too hard?"

❄️ -@artistrafayel

Send ❄️ to throw a snowball at Lily!

Lily yelped in surprise at the sudden impact before turning to Rafayel, seeming almost offended for all of... two seconds.

A wide grin spread across her face as she leaned down to make a snowball of her own. "Are you sure you want to play this game~?" she asked playfully, glancing up at him from where her hands were making quick work of the snow.

Lily kept her arms wrapped around his neck, ever careful not to risk hurting him in the process of course! She also made sure that he could maneuver her as necessary so he wouldn't be unnecessarily uncomfortable.

His exclamations made her giggles turn to proper laughter, pressing her head against his shoulder for a moment until she could compose herself enough to talk properly again. Or, mostly properly.

"I came from the void~," She teased through remaining giggles, "Sorry for scaring you though."

Lifting her head again to try and semi-face him, she did at least offer a more serious answer to his second question. "I've always been pretty quiet, but I honed it more when training to be a Hunter. Sometimes I have to actually make an effort to make noise to not scare people."

It's almost ironic that she's a naturally quiet person, considering her preferred weapons.

( Jump - sender jumps on receivers back - @lily-of-the-linkon )

Lily grinned when seeing Jeremiah wasn't paying attention to her, a mischievous little plan forming in her head.

Putting her training to the test, she carefully approached him from behind. She kept her movements as silent as possible, slowly lifting her arms to brace herself for step two.

When she was finally within reach of the (unsuspecting?) man, she lunged to jump on his back. While she was careful not to knock him over if she could help it, she was still dramatic.

Almost immediately after 'impact', she couldn't help but break into giggles, shifting to at least attempt to look at his face. "Hi Jer~" she greeted with playfully exaggerated casualness.

"What the- ah!"

The sudden surprise and sensation of warmth pressed against his back shocked him enough to let out a yelp in surprise, but the familiarity of the voice immediately calmed his instincts.

He adjusts his grip to ensure her safety but doesn't put her down.

"Stars, Lilyyyy! Where did you come from!? How did you manage to be so quiet!?"

It's been so long since I lost the game.

You, my darling Maeve, are such a fucking menace

While his concern was appreciated, and extremely sweet, Lily shook her head reassuringly. "You didn't hurt or upset me, don't worry." She reassured "I'm not that tender headed."

She took a moment to debate if she should just go ahead and explain why she's flushed, knowing he's already going to ask if she's okay. Maybe she can throw him off enough to take the focus off of her for a moment?

"You just look really cute when you focus on something so mundane."

“I trust you” - @lily-of-the-linkon

"Huh? What are you up to?" He closes his eyes.
