Though Hexner's manner of speaking was unusual and her comments more than slightly odd, Lilly carried on with the conversation like nothing was out of the ordinary. [b]"Alright Miss Hexner, I will try to work on that."[/b] Lilly's own unusual mannerism was that she never referred to anyone by their first name unless they were related or extremely close (a product of her formal and strict upbringing), so keeping that promise was unlikely. When Aria went off about how her squad leader didn't know what to do with her and how last minute everything had been, Lilly couldn't help but nod in agreement. [b]"Yes... It does seem like the militia is lacking in organization these days, though I suppose that must be a product of the chaos of war. One can only hope that after this battle our squad assignments will be settled in a more permanent fashion."[/b]

When Alex was mentioned as having an annoying attitude, Lilly sighed. [b]"I see... Private Glaive does have a... unique manner of conducting herself, though she truly means well. She has been with the squad almost since it's inception, though, and is probably one of our best members when it comes to combat. I pray the two of you will not let this conflict come between you in the future. She probably did not mean to cause offense."[/b] When Aria said she was over it, Lilly smiled and nodded. [b]"That's good, then. I see I had nothing to worry about."[/b]

She continued to watch the girl as she went back to drawing, admiring her handy work. Lilly knew how to dance formally and play the piano, but had no practice or skill when it came to painting or drawing. Part of her almost felt envious.

[b]"So did you help secure this building? If so maybe I should add you in here. Give you a touch of immortally."[/b]

When Aria asked that, a series of complex emotions flooded through Lilly causing her expression to darken. She was indeed here when they secured the building, but so many people had died or been wounded here... mostly imperials, but the point still stood. She certainly didn't think that moments like this should be forgotten, rather they should be preserved for future generations to look back on and see exactly what the soldiers of the Gallian militia experienced... but she didn't want anything to be able to tie her to her role in the war. If it was something that she could keep and use to remember those who might perish in the future, she might have been fine with it, but since it was a personal sketch to be kept by Aria, she didn't want to be included. If she were to survive, the less things in existence that could remind her of the horrors of war and those she killed and wounded, the better. It was because of this that when she was asked that question, she responded in a serious tone with: [b]"I think that it would be best if you did not."[/b] After a moment, her dark expression lightened and she composed herself, before adding to the statement in her usual cheerful voice. [b]"Though I thank you for your kind offer."[/b]
