They're who told me of what we do.

( nick hadn't known who she was when she'd first arrived but much had come from his sleep, from the memories of his life that he'd gotten )

Lucifer won't walk here. We've taken precautions.

( and lilith knows she'd be one of the first he'd punish for her betrayal of him )

You'll forgive me if I still have my concerns.

[ About the possibility for what could happen, were he to escape; she won't pretend that she doesn't still harbor a deep worry in her chest, knowing the Lucifer that she does, knowing what he's capable of.

But she also knows she wouldn't be alone in facing him if it were to occur, and she sighs, glancing down at her hands. ]

But I've seen your strength. What you're capable of.

They're concerns that would be shared.

( for all of lilith's confidence there's a deep terror that runs through her at the thought of lucifer being free, of knowing of her betrayal and the other witches would be foolish if they weren't afraid )

But until that possibility occurs there is little more that we can do. I believe him contained and I'll act for that outcome.

Of course.

[ Many of them would have a price to pay were the unthinkable to happen, and she cannot forget that; her struggle against Lucifer had been a lonely one, back in her own world, but here it is a battle that she would not have to take up arms against alone. ]

And I believe your belief. [ She has no reason not to trust Lilith in this, not after everything. ]

( her hands reach across, grasping vanessa's, comforting )

He won't come for you.

( lilith would stop him before letting him go for someone she cared for )

Much as I'd like to believe he would spare me —

[ She glances down to the tether of their hands, a smile flickering over her mouth that does not fully reach her eyes when she lifts her head. ]

Often there are forces beyond our ability to control. And I would not see you bring harm to yourself if you tried to stand in the way for me.

If what I've been told is correct--

( which is only in snippets but it's better than no knowledge )

I stopped him once. Or will. I will again.

( and maybe with a better solution )
