Even if the sentiment wasn't shared, Lilie really was glad to have them all together. Then again, she was a little friendship-starved since most of her free time had been occupied by lessons, so she blamed it on that. Salem's comment earned him a warm smile on her end as she laughed a little. Honestly, it was so much better to perform in front of friends than having Ben stare at her intensely and immediately give her pointers. He meant well, but he really needed to let up sometimes.

[color=00bfff]"That's so nice of you to say, thank you,"[/color] Lilie replied cheerfully, looking around for a moment. To her disappointment, Aaron wasn't with them just yet. She thought today would've been a night for him to relax, but it didn't look like Count Sinnenodel was going to let him. Maybe she could convince Aaron to sit with them for just a minute?

As the conversation carried on, she felt like it would be redundant to reintroduce herself to Maddie, instead just giving the girl a wave as she introduced herself to the rest of the group. Hm, she felt like she should talk about something that would get the conversation going, but it was hard to tell what everyone had in common. Max wasn't much of a talker period, she didn't know Maddie well, and Salem...actually, she had an easier time talking to him so no worries there.

Well, she could at least think of something that would hopefully get Maddie's interest and Max talking. [color=00bfff]"So Max, that was an interesting sculpture,"[/color] She mentioned. [color=00bfff]"Are you an aspiring artist?"[/color]
