[ They're there in basically as much time as it takes to ride the elevator down from BD=DE, and move to hug her the moment they step onto the landing. ]
[ she'll go to get a pot of tea started, then, and bring it to her room soon enough.
when silfda gets there: her room is mostly bog-standard lilis fare, some fanmail stacked neatly on the dresser. one corner of the room is lined with tarp, where her easel and collection of paints currently sits, empty, a handful of canvasses neatly leaned against the available space on the floor and wall: all portraits of former members of lilis she knew, with their namesake flower. ]
Sorry I don't have a couch or anything... you can sit on the bed.
Mm, I wouldn't say it's in the exact same way - all such loves are unique, after all. But as for those who I love to the same degree as you - there are Hope and Lily.
Mm. It would be disappointing, to be sure. After all, it'd be a shame if I can't give you all the love I believe you deserve. But more than that, I would rather you decide to do what makes you happy. To see you unhappy would upset me more than any amount of mere disappointment ever could.

Agnus Dei: Whenever you're available to meet up, we can.
Re: Day 325
🐺🏹: WHERE?
Re: Day 325
Agnus Dei: You can come to LiliS if you'd like. I'm home.

[ She'll actually be waiting out in the landing for them; had to get some stuff from the mailbox, and all. ]
Re: Day 325
Cypress! Hi!
Re: Day 325
[ surprised-- but hugs her back, gentle. ]
Hi, Silfda. You seem a little perkier...
Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
I'm glad.
[ hesitates a moment before pulling away, opening the door for them. ]
My room's towards the end; door should be open. Do you want any coffee or tea?
Re: Day 325
[ and off they go. ]

Re: Day 325
So what did you want to talk about?
Re: Day 325
... I, ah...
...
You have-- others, that you care about, right? The way you... said you cared about me.

Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
I'm so glad. ... I'm so happy for you.
Re: Day 325
That's not what you wanted to talk about though, is it?
Re: Day 325
Of course I want to hear about your happiness.
[ a pause though. ]
... I'm, um.
...
I don't... want to seem as if I've taken advantage of your feelings, at any point. Regardless of what we do I care deeply about you.
You... understand that, right?
Re: Day 325
Of course I do. Love needn't take only one form. I know that better than most.
Re: Day 325
...
Would you-- be upset? If we couldn't... kiss, or anything like that, together anymore.
Re: Day 325
Re: Day 325
[ awkwardly trails off, cheeks bright red, and looks down at their hands. ]
... Sunrise would prefer it if-- we didn't treat others romantically, if we're together. At least, um-- not sexually.
