"The first for me," she confirms. "The first that worked out at all for her, so that probably counts." Something seems... kind of off - what, is she jealous or something? - but that's not really her place. "It is a very romantic turnout, one I'm absolutely happy for. But in a very real way, we went through a lot of pain to reach this point. It's certainly not any storybook I'd want to wish upon anyone else." The nights hovering over Lily, considering her own darkness, lamenting the things she'd had to do... those were scars every bit as real as the one on her back.

She's not sure if she should be worried when the woman goes on; her guard goes right up, but she does her best to keep a smile on. "I've worked hard to make myself someone that can be proud of her moral code. I'm... admittedly unsure what value I'd have to you, though." There's a certain quirk that reaches her lips as she adds, "I'm kind of a PR nightmare."
