His response to her question surprised her, and she was immediately convinced that he held the same gift within him that Zera’im had. Lillith nearly reached out to touched his face but refrained from doing so, as she had just met the man, I… am envious of your gift, Shadowfang. She said softly, a feminine yet husky roll to her voice. She stood to go get herself something to drink when suddenly the shadow from outside burst into the room.
Lillith watched frozen and wide eyed as the actions quickly took place before her. The young male wolf rushed into the room in which Amy was, followed closely on the heels by Shadowfang, who form seemingly enveloped all the light in the room. There was a frantic motion and then the dark male carried the other out of the room and shut the door behind him, and guarded it. He chided the younger wolf, and Lillith could immediately smell the blood. Amy had thrown a knife apparently, but Shadow had deflected it; Lillith was impressed by his skill.
The red woman looked down her nose at the younger pup, he was wide eyed and frightened, a skinny thing; she wondered if he was perhaps Amy’s slave, or the pup she had been rumored to have kidnapped. Either way, it was none of Lillith’s concern, but the sounds of birth and puppy cries could not be ignored and the Trombetta lady went to fetch a basin of water, and some salted fish jerky. She held these things in her hand and moved towards the doorway which Shadowfang guarded, and she stood before him, Please. She said softly, and then pushed her way past him into the darkness of the room. She quiet in here, and set the food and water beside Amy on the floor, and then lit the oil lamp on the vanity so the woman could see her new child. Lillith’s eyes glanced over briefly and saw a dark, tiny form curled beside the golden woman. Lillith was entranced for a moment, but then exited back into the living room, closing the door behind her. She walked back to her former place on the couch, retrieved her pipe, and re-lit it.
