By the time Lilith opened her eyes, night had already settled over the palace. She yawned softly, feeling Hades' arms tighten around her waist. His eyes were closed, his breathing slow and steady which indicated that he was fast asleep. Not wanting to wake him, she carefully wriggled free from his embrace and slipped out of the bed. Standing fully naked, she quickly gathered her scattered clothes, dressing as quietly as she could.
Once she was fully dressed, she headed for the door. Lilith had no destination in mind, she simply wanted to clear her head and wander until something caught her interest. The moment she stepped outside, a sharp gust of wind washed over her, prickling her skin with cold and making her wrap her arms tightly around herself.
She should have taken a jacket. She hadn't expected the night to be this cold, Still, she refused to go back and risk waking the prince, so she kept moving.
