  — “Some of my best thinkin’ comes from hangin’ out with you.”        That was honesty—Levi’s more brilliant ideas came to           her when she was along side the other female. She           gained a sense of adventure, a sense of goofing off           and little bit of an obscure sense of humor. It wasn’t           a bad thing—She certainly enjoyed it.         Lilith’s idea made Levi smile—What a great thought            there, just going all out on the novelties of Japanese            and Chinese cuisine and junk food. A brilliant smile            spread across her lips like a wildfire as she chuckled            and looked to her partner.                  “I can so get behind that. ‘Specially the sushi                   bit. I’ve had a craving for it for a couple days                   now—Yeah, let’s do that too. Why not? Just                   make it an all-out awesome kinda deal.”        Sure, the salt and rice would make her feel sluggish           later, but it wouldn’t matter. It’d still be fun, because          she’d be doing so with a friend, having a blast while          doing so, and not minding it a damn bit. Friendship          was great like that. Chuckling, she nudged Lilith          again, just because.

  — “Of course.”        That look of sadness didn’t go unnoticed to Levi—           she did see it, but she chose to let Lilith talk about           it if she wished to do so. She remembered one of           their conversations from the past, about attachment           to people, and wondered if maybe that had a little           to do with what was making her so… Bashful and           nervous.         Levi was content walking along with Lilith—Honestly,            it put a little bit of light into her day, which was a            very much needed thing. Her closeness to Death            didn’t bother her much, and honestly, she was            content with it. Lilith meant a lot to her.                  “I agree. They’re one of my favorite sweet                   little things in the world. Tied with Pocky,                    honestly.”        She looked over at the other female, a gentle smile           on her face. A chuckle escaped her as she looked          away for a moment, and then back to her. Biting          her lip, she let out a happy hum and nudged the          other girl gently.                  “We should look for Pocky while we’re out,                   too. It’s been a while since I’ve had it.”

  — Even if Lilith had been afraid, she’d still made the           decision to hold on, and that put a smile on Levi’s           face. Gently, she patted Lilith’s hand with her other           and smiled. If she got nervous about the action and           needed to let go? Well, Levi would understand. It           was a big step, physical ‘affections’ of sorts, and            extending an arm or holding hands was one of           those things.                  “Oh, probably. It’s like fried dumplings or                   fried wontons. Those are something I                    could eat a lot of, if my body wouldn’t                   hate me for it later.”        She laughed now, looking over at the other female,           a sense of calmness and wonder washing over          her. Sometimes, Levi wondered what went on in          her head—What she thought, how she felt, what          she wanted and needed. They were curious little          thoughts of the huntress—Maybe someday, she          would know for sure.                  “It’s alright—If it gets too awkward for you, I                   won’t get upset if you have to let go. I just                   want you to be comfortable, okay? So no                   pressure or anything. Do what feels right                   for you—And you don’t need to apologize.                   You’re fine.”        It was true—Lilith was absolutely fine. There was          nothing embarrassing or awkward about the way          their hands were laced, or the touch itself.
