"Hey. You know what to do."

[bearattack]

Anywhere where I don't have to see the two of you in the same place. Too weird.

[Except the problem is she thinks all the other places in town suck.]

There's this new place. Very old-timey.

[sathan]

Then I will meet you there. Its name?

[bearattack]

The Public House. I hear the guy who runs it is stuck in the 18th century.

[Or early 20th, but you tried, Maze.]

[sathan]

One hour.

[bearattack]

[She'll be there in fifty-five minutes, hanging around at the bar. She's facing the room, her elbows propped up on the counter behind her, with an untouched glass of whiskey next to one of them. When Lilith arrives, she jerks her head in greeting.]

Hey.

[sathan]

Mazikeen.

( there's a polite smile offered her way but after the last time that they'd spoken in person she doesn't expect this to be any less tense, even with the woman having been here for some time now )

I'm not certain I'd have pictured this place.

( for her? for anyone? she'd certainly not been last time she was here )

[bearattack]

Well, like I said, we don't have a lot of options. Anyway, I saved you a seat.

[Meaning she glared daggers at anyone who got within six feet of her, effectively warning them off.]

[sathan]

( oh, she can guess exactly how maze would have been even with barely knowing the woman. some people gave very distinct impressions )

And you chose somewhere unfamiliar. It's an interesting choice.

[bearattack]

It's not unfamiliar to me; I've been here before.

[Granted, not... often. She's basically only just poked her head in.]

[sathan]

It's also not Lux. But I suppose it's no matter.

( likely whatever they have to talk about is better done away from lucifer's ears )

I suppose you've experienced much since we spoke before.

[bearattack]

Eh.

[She wibbles her hand back and forth as a gesture for sort of.]

Fewer monsters to fight. More people jumping off cliffs. Apparently people are turning into kids sometimes now.

[sathan]

That I had noticed.

( and would end up experiencing at some point herself, though not exactly as a child )

I wonder if the magic causing it is true to what they originally were.

[bearattack]

What do you mean?

[sathan]

Not every being here had once been a child. Was that crafted or did something else occur to them?

[bearattack]

Oh, I wouldn't know. Why, is that what happened to you?

[sathan]

I was-- returned to my state from when I fled the garden.

( simply a witch, that young girl's face. and so innocent to the world )

[bearattack]

And what was that like?
