Hurt, physical damage (battle against demon) and angst warning.

Lilith can be soft and cute but when she have enough.....

Aslo, inserting poetry quote along the fic is quite hard haha, if you find other ones that can fit in, let me know.

(V's POV)

Lilith's vision was still on his mind. She was clearly hiding something important by the look she had given him two weeks ago. Her shaking hands on the kitchen's table when he had asked for the details of what she had seen... And the changes in her features.... He had tried to find some answers in books but for he didn't know where to look, that was going nowhere.

He could only say she hadn't been possessed by a demon as there were no demonic energy in her, nor any other power of that kind that wasn't already there since she came in.

Magic was not rare and he wasn't really surprised that she could use it, even if she was reluctant on that, but for her to have visions was something much rarer, even inside the magic community. The girl never talked much about her family, only her grandmother but never saying her name at any moment. Even Dante seemed cautious when the subject was on the table.

The now self proclaimed 'older brother' knew something that the entire crew didn't, something about the girl's past, the reason why she never left the shop alone, why she hated physical contacts..... That was irritating.

V had tried to talk to her again about the vision but she remained silent, uneasy, always pinching her lips together and looking down. She wasn't planning to tell him. Her power had showed her something, maybe something about the crew or him.... Was it his past ? A possible future that can be change ? A incoming danger ? No, she would have said it..... right ?

He sighed again, loudly, catching her attention unintentionally. She was walking carefully, a few feets in front of him, swords in hands, silent and alerte as always.

Unlike him right now.

That was curious thought, he was always focused, not getting distracted easily by any means and yet here he was, so lost in his thoughts that he almost forgot where he was and the mission they've been hired for ; killing demons that infested a small town near RedGrave and finding the reason of their presence. Fortunately, the area was almost cleared and Shadow was scanning the path they were heading, not to mention Lilith's instinct. Rare were the demons that caught her off-guard during a job and she always had her eyes everywhere, and those lovely amber were scanning him right now, searching for the reason of his previous sigh.

How careless of him

"Getting tired ?" Her voice was steadier.

She was so confident, looking at him with her head high, serious look on her pretty face. The fragile little girl in her fluffy sweater or purple cat pajamas had changed into a strong beautiful woman in a classy dark outfit with her hairs hidden under her hat that also concealed her eyes from anyone else.
