'Well.. I don't think you'd have a problem with that for the most part..... You'd probably have trouble keeping me away, though....' Chance said, glad to see he had lightened the mood at least a little.

*Lilith ran a hand through her hair, biting her lip slightly as she held back what she wanted to say... She didn't want to keep bringing Chance down... There would be time for self pity and grieving soon enough... She turned her head away again, realizing that her fangs had drawn a few drops of blood from her lip.* "Maybe..." *She briefly brushed the blood away with her fingers.*

Chance said nothing in response, not sure what Lilith had meant by her answer. He was silent for a few more minutes, staring at the ground in thought before snapping back to reality. 'So... you okay to go inside now?' he asked, hoping to put an end to the night.

((Blah... Let's try editing this a little...))
*Lilith sighed softly, glancing back in the direction Adam had gone before reluctantly nodding. She wasn't exactly in a rush to be alone again in her room... She felt alone enough as it was... She wouldn't be able to sleep all night and she didn't want to face her mother and brother in the morning... Still, she knew it would all happen anyway...* "Yeah... sure..." *She wiped the last of her tears away, shoving her hands in her pockets as she lowered her gaze again. She went to move but now that she had emotionally exhausted herself and gotten over the initial shock of what had happened, her physical pain was starting to hit hard. A sharp pain in her side nearly made her fall as she reached out for something to support her...*

(( Yeah, that helps. You're all smart and stuff, Kait. it astounds me. )) Chance saw Lilith stumble forward slightly, looking as if she was about to collapse, probably overwhelmed from the events that had occurred that night. Without thinking he stepped forward and caught her by the arm to support her.

((*takes a bow* Yeah... I'm a jeanieus... Lilith just get's more pathetic by the minute. I gotta toughen her up a little later...)) *It took Lilith a minute to realize exactly what happened... She looked up at Chance, about to say thank you when it hit her that he was actually touching her... She stared at him for a moment, briefly glancing at where his hand lay on her arm...* "Chance... You shouldn't..." *She lightly bit her lip, half of her wanting to pull away while the other half begged her to just give in and depend on him fully for support...*

((Ah, that's okay for now. it makes Chance like her even more. Not that she's pathetic, but it really makes him want to hug her, so it's all good. ;D))
Chance said nothing for a second, in conflict over whether or not he should let her go. Finally he sighed and replied, 'Yeah, like I'm gonna let you go so you can fall flat on your face.'
In the back of his mind Chance was reassuring himself that it was only because letting Lilith stumble into the building on her own wasn't very smart that he had helped her. Not because of anything else. Right. Nothing else.

((All righty then... Whatever works. lol. )) *Lilith knew it was a bad idea to let him put himself in danger but she was too drained to put up a fight. Sighing, she nodded slowly, not daring to look him in the eyes... She didn't want him to see just how much she was struggling against her emotions... The way he was helping her didn't seem like much... but it was enough to make her heart race. Having someone willingly touch her when they didn't have to felt so wonderful... especially since it was Chance.* "I suppose you're right... Thank you..."

'No need to thank me,' Chance shook his head slightly and began walking back towards he mansion, careful to help support Lilith as he went. 'I probably asked you this before, but if I did I don't remember so I'll ask again; are you gonna get some help in the morning or something? It seems like you're hurt pretty bad.'

*Lilith was silent for a moment, not sure if she knew the answer to that yet...* "I don't know... I don't want to get Adam in trouble or anything..." *Yet, even as she said that, she wasn't sure if she could stay in this kind of pain. It wasn't the worst that could've happened but she was sure that she would have some pretty nasty bruises...*

Chance bit back a sigh and said nothing in response. He knew there was no way he could make Lilith do anything about her injuries if she wasn't willing and he certainly didn't want to bring up another issue of controversy while she was in her current state. He couldn't think of any excuses she could use as to how she got hurt, though for some reason the idea of covering what happened up seemed worse than not doing anything at all.

*Lilith glanced at Chance when she didn't get a response... She didn't know what he was really thinking about all of this... and she wasn't sure she wanted to know...* "Are you sure that you're all right...? I mean... if he hurt you in any way... I don't care what happens to him..." *I'd tell the Professor everything immediately...*

'Yeah, I'm fine,' Chance answered immediately. Well, he was mostly fine. You couldn't get into a fight with someone and not expect to come out of it at least a little beat up (Even if you were fighting with an incoherent drunk). But until just now Chance hadn't even thought about whether or not he was injured, so he was sure there was nothing to be concerned over. ((I just want to know what gives Chance the right to call someone ELSE a drunk? ))

*Lilith nodded gratefully.* "All right... As long as you're ok..." *Whether it was knowing Chance was all right or the fact that she was so close to him for the first time ever, she grew less upset, just feeling drained instead. She leaned on Chance just a little more heavily, not quite so cautious as she had been just moments before...*

Chance nodded in response as they neared the building. As he opened the door and ushered Lilith through he realized that if he had told her he was injured hurt Lilith probably would have mentioned something about her brother to someone and suddenly felt like smacking himself for not seeing that when she had asked. Of course, then he probably would've had to exaggerate or lie about any injuries he did receive which he knew he wouldn't be comfortable with.
Chance wondered for a second what it meant that she wouldn't rat out Adam just because she was hurt, but would've if he, himself, had been, but quickly pushed the thought to the back of his mind.
