Naturally, Lillith had seen Kash's interactions with Curnen and been told that he cared a great deal for her. She felt... she supposed she felt somewhat more protective of her cousin than was necessary. Kash had not lost his love for her, nor did it seem likely he would. But there was a baby or babies to think about now.

So when Curnen approached her, Lillith smiled a genuine kindness at her. "Apologies are not necessary. I could have come to speak to you also, and I had not yet either."
