Lilith blinked. "What makes someone bad?"
"Well... to you, Lilith, anyone who wants to hurt you is bad, and an enemy! Regardless of their allegiance, their status, or who they are!"
"When dealing with enemies, never mind destroying their bodies and erasing the evidence-even slicing them into a thousand pieces wouldn't be going too far. But you also have to remember, if an enemy is too strong for you to beat for now, you need to know when to back down. As the saying goes, a cat can wait a thousand years for revenge! As long as you're alive, you'll have a chance to get even. Understand?"
She nodded thoughtfully. "Oh~ I get it now~"
"Smart girl!"
Lilith lifted her chin. "Of course! Miss Lilith is..."
"The smartest cat in the world, right?"
The latter half came in Audrey's voice from inside the Leather Pouch.
"Huh?"
Lilith brought her head close to Edward's waist. "Audrey, you're here."
"Yes, and the moment I arrived, I heard Lilith boasting. Open up."
Before Edward could move, Lilith took down the Leather Pouch in her mouth, jumped onto the bed, and used her paws to spread it open. As soon as Audrey climbed up, she realized she was on Edward's bed, so she took off her shoes, stepped out of the pouch, and sat down on the bed.
She had probably just gotten up too. She wore a simple green dress and even still had slippers on her feet. Her translucent, fair toes were as pink and soft as Lilith's paw pads.
Lilith jumped onto her lap and called, "Morning, Audrey!"
"Morning, Miss Lilith."
Edward asked curiously, "What brings you here to see me so early?"
"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which would you like to hear?"
Audrey
