Lillith felt the pull of Curnen's magic and, recognizing it for what it was, she put down the necklace of prayer beads she had been laying spells into and ventured out to listen. Although she missed both Scanlan and Pike after a fashion, she could not help but note her own relief at not having to walk a careful line between her family from home and the family she had chosen in Curnen. It seemed even moreso right that she should come out to hear Curnen's song and share a smile with her in gratitude for the offering.

What she had not done, because she felt it would dishonor her departed friends, was veil herself, although she most often did on check-in days so not to frighten the newcomers. She had not intended to stay long, nor did she, but as she left the front lawn, she had immediate cause to regret her choice not to veil, for there before her was a newcomer, one with sad but pretty eyes, who looked about as though he mistrusted everything he saw.

She could drop a veil over her Tiefling form, but to do so would likely only challenge his perception of reality more. In lieu of attempting deceit, she softened into a gentle smile (one that did not show her fangs), and paused to thank Mystra that her dress obscured most of her inhuman legs, if not her tail.

"Hello. You are new, I think. I am Lillith. Please do not be frightened. I mean you no harm."
