There was an eerie composure engulfing the dingo elder, meditative and blunderingly brilliant in all of its nonconformity. He didn't answer immediately, instilling virtues of self-discipline and patience instead. Her restlessness was of a distinctive kind; of blighted hopes overshadowed by silent reverence. He smiled that enigmatic smile, further fuelling doubt and confusion within her. Would he give her what she ought to know? At the mercy of a self-proclaimed clairvoyant, Lilin did the only thing she could do. She waited and waited some more, only to be rewarded with an unexpected visitor. Unexpected for her, anyway.
Lilin turned with the sudden intrusion, mediterranean orbs riveting to the newcomer's general direction before latching onto his face and the golden gaze adorning it. Once again, nothing was said. The moment was his to explain: she could not demand answers. A reply came but it came from neither clients. The dichromatic female was left dumbfounded by the senior's invitation and as he spoke, she pivoted toward him once more. Should Macarius live up to his name, revelations in the presence of a complete stranger weren't desirable.
Once again put in a position where demands weren't hers to make, she remained seated before casting another glance to the younger male. An uncertain smile was offered to him then, paired with the slight shrug of her shoulders. While the ultimate decision was his to make, the intrigue had mostly likely gotten to him too. They weren't the ones in charge. She would cooperate until things got too personal and then take her leave, if necessary. "Hey," she offered meekly, hoping to dissipate whatever discomfort hung in the air.
