“Please. I know she’s busy but I really need to see Lilith- the Mayor. Please I can just let myself through I know the w- w- w- w- w- I know where it is.” Aster pleaded with the woman at the front desk, wringing his hands together and laying waste to his lower lip as he frantically looked around. Hoping Lilith would appear through some doorway and he could get out of talking to this person that he didn’t know. He’d gone to her place first, relieved to find Bobbie was alright but feeling his stomach drop at the thought of trying to achieve anything in City Hall straight after an invasion.
Aster had been listed with the dead. On an official statement released by the Mayor’s office. He couldn’t be sure whether Lilith had read it or not, she seemed to go missing herself just before the ships dropped but he couldn’t take the chance. She had the whole town to worry about, she didn’t need the false truth that Aster was dead weighing on her as well. So when Aster accepted that he wasn’t getting anywhere the proper way, he waited until the lady was distracted and slipped behind her. Walking quickly to his friend’s office before he got caught, he opened the door without a thought, standing there jaw slack as he realised what a sight he must be.
