( this time the honesty does come because vanessa asks for it. and it surprises her that she's so willing to answer when lilith shares none of her tale usually or at least far less than this. but she also feels vulnerable, not solely because of what the archivist has done but because of vanessa, that this witch stirs emotions in her that she's long forgotten, that she wasn't certain she again could feel )

I have a long life, much of it I share to no one. ( the only people that did really know of her life were because they were from her world because her life was told of in the unholy bible )

But-- ( a quick gathering of thoughts. lilith knows that because of vanessa's faith that she'll at least recognise parts of it which is why she words it as she does, to let vanessa connect the dots ) The first place that I knew was-- a paradise. Somewhere supposedly perfect, created for me. For my husband.

( for him certainly and the wife that she was supposed to be but not who she was.

she starts with the hebrew name for it before then translating-- ) Eden.
