Lilith's whole body had relaxed as Tori had not only accepted and hugged her back, but told her not to apologise. Hell it was all she could do not to apologise again for apologising and then again for apologising for apologising for apologising... Her brain was swimming by the time that thought process was done. "Pfft, I think you just need to know what to look for to read people." The brunette waved her hand and smiled sheepishly. "Too nice? I don't think there is such thing, everyone deserves a little kindness in their life and that's why I want to be kind to others, so that I know that they had someone be kind to them if that makes sense.." It was a strange thing, she had never thought much about it, but if she were to go into the psychology of her kindness it was that she wanted others to feels seen and perhaps avoid making them feel the way she had felt a lot. "Oh and yes, I would very much like that!" She added referring to the hair braiding thing, she liked braiding her sisters hair the way she liked her mum doing hers. It was one of the main things she missed most about home.
"Well as far as I could see there were several adorning his arms, if my eyesight is as good as it's supposed to be there might have been one on his neck, but he was quite far away... Don't worry I'll point him out next time!" Lilith promised with a conspiring smile. "Oh yes! I do love me some good gossip, it's kind of a thing that happens with Karelians, which my dads side is, they are the worst what do you call it in English... Gossipers? I think that's the word." The Ravenclaw looked around the room as she was finding the word, she knew it exactly in Finnish but had trouble with her second tongue. "Anyways my grandmother used to tell me how the women in her family were so bad that you told someone one thing one day it would be less than a day and the entire bloodline would know of it, even the ones resting in their graves..." Lilith let a giggle escape at the memory of her grandma explaining the obscure gossiping habits of her and her sisters and aunts. "Oh yes we definitely will! He will be our discovery." She agreed.
As Lilith looked at Tori a thought she had been mulling over for a few days resurfaced. "Tori, I have been thinking so I have a habit of naming people important to me, like Eoghan, my family and Eli, after stars. It's sort of a silly habit but I use the name to sometimes talk about them or address them wither to their face or in my head you know and I was thinking of one for you and I'd like to give you the nickname Asterope." As she spoke her nervousness started to surface and she instinctively raised her hands to the locket on her neck, to get a grasp of it and feel the comforting engravings. "It is a star in the constellation Taurus, it is part of the Pelaides star cluster, each named after the seven Pelaides sisters. The name Asterope comes from Latin meaning "Lighting" and when I think of you I think of a flash of light in the middle of a thunder storm. See thunderstorms are one of my favourite weathers and I love lightings and you give me the same comforting feeling. Not to mention that you are someone that is hard to miss in the best way possible." Lilith explained nervously, she was tad bit self-conscious of her interest in the stars and the depth that went into these names. "Asterope as a star is part of twin-stars Tauri 21 and Tauri 22, oh and it is one of the brightest stars in it's own clusters which is another reason why I see it fitting for you." Lilith continued feeling out her locket. "If you hate it I can just leave it, it's fine it's just a very silly thing I do." The brunette made sure to add quickly.
