Beyond Death's Veil (Sightles and Natural Mess)

Lewis sighed, drawing his legs closer to his chest. Stopping his rocking, Lewis stared down at the floor, allowing silence to fill the air. After a moments deliberation, Lewis began to speak, "I did something terrible to your family. The way I redeem myself is to pay for it by helping the ones I hurt." Lewis's tone was very somber, and the man found himself unable to make eye contact with Lily, hoping that what he said would be more than enough for the girl to connect the dots. Lewis didn't know if he'd be able to directly admit what he did.

"I'm here, because...." Lewis trailed off, gazing away from Lily, and towards the front door. Letting out a sigh, Lewis glanced back to Lily, "[b]I'm here, because I screwed up while I was living. To redeem myself, I have to help you until my job is considered done." Lewis continued to rock back and forth in his awkward sitting position, his piercing eyes seeming to search the entirety of Lily's face, as if she possessed the answers to how he should precede next, "Which means, you're happy, secure in your life, and independent."

"It's how I sit. Don't judge. You do weird things, too. Especially when you sleep." Lewis said, letting out a small laugh. In truth, he had no idea what Lily did in her sleep, but he knew the comment would drive her crazy. Glancing down at King, Lewis almost felt the urge to reach out and touch the dog, just to see if he'd be able to interact with another physical being that wasn't Lily, "Well, I guess it must just be a myth." Lewis continued to rock back and forth in his seat, wondering how to approach Lily. Eyeing her coffee cup, watching as she sipped, Lewis sighed, "So, let's talk more about why you're stuck with me."

"My name's Lewis, not ghost boy, Daisy." Lewis retorted, allowing himself a small smile, glad to see that Lily could poke fun right back at him. Lewis took a sit in one of the comfortable chairs that sat in the living room. Lifting his legs up, and drawing them towards his chest, Lewis almost gave the impression that he didn't know how to sit in the chair. Wrapping both his arms around his legs that were now comfortably drawn against his chest, Lewis gave Lily a thoughtful glance, "You know, you're probably gonna have to order the pizza. I don't think they'll actually be able to hear me." Lewis smiled, as he rocked himself slightly back and forth on the cushioned chair.

"I couldn't even run when I was alive. Why would I run now?" Lewis responded, getting up and stretching while doing so. For someone that was dead, Lewis sure felt a very alive sense of being tired, or perhaps it was just because he was lazy, even in death, "Why go running when we can just order pizza and watch movies?" Lewis asked, knowing full and well that a sharp retort was ready from Lily, "Or better yet, we can actually sit down and talk without you getting all huffy and puffy." Lewis added in.

Definitely on board for this.

"You ask a lot of questions, Daisy. It's not very charismatic of you. Make you seem like a ditz." Lewis did his best to conceal a smirk, but to no avail. Lewis caught his undershirt, lazily putting it on, "Well, since you won't join me, I guess I'll join you. Where are we going?" Lewis asked, completely ignoring all of Lily's questions. In truth, not even Lewis knew why things the way they were, but it was going to get Lily to eventually lighten up, and teasing would be the way he did it. Standing up, Lewis grabbed the bag of chips, placing them on a stand next to a lamp, near the couch.

"Nope." Lewis replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Eyes glued to the TV, Lewis pulled another chip from the bag and ate it with a robotic like monotony. "Wanna join me? This show it starting to get good." Lewis wondered how much patience Lily would have in the morning, compared to how much she had last night. Glancing with a lazy gaze, Lewis turned his attention to the young woman, "Are you going out or something?" Lewis asked, genuinely curious, as he'd no doubt attempt to follow her.

The TV in the living room was flicked to some trash reality show, as Lewis sat idly, sans shirts and with a bag of chips sat neatly in the small circle he made with his legs as he sat Indian-style. The pillows of the couch had all been moved to one side and it was obvious that the man had made it his own little relaxation couch. Lewis could hear the tell tale signs of an awakening person upstairs, over the din of the TV. Lewis smiled, slightly, wondering if Lily would think everything from last night was just a bad dream, and how surprised she'd be when she saw him in his current state.
