Kain was jostled awake by someone shaking his shoulder furiously. "Wha-?" he asked, blinking at gazing around.
"Kain! Gosh, I thought you were dead or something."
"Lilly?" Kain asked, sitting up and rubbing the side of his head. "How did you get in here?"
"I walked through the front door; it was unlocked," Lilly said, shrugging and sitting back.
Someone needs to learn to knock…
"Has anyone ever told you that lavender fits you well?" she asked after a moment, staring deeply into Kain's eyes.
"What?" he asked. He slowly brought his hand up to his face, patting in and coming to the realization that his glasses were no longer there. "Where are my shades?" he demanded.
"Um… I don't know," Lilly replied, dropping her gaze.
"LILLY," Kain growled.
Lilly sighed and reached behind her, drawing out Kain's black sunglasses and handing them to him.
Kain hurriedly swiped them back and set them over his eyes once more. "Why did you take them?"
"You're always wearing them!" Lilly said, "I wanted to know what your eyes look like…"
Kain sighed. He did not like the fact that Lilly had simply removed his glasses while he was sleeping only so that she could see his eyes. It was true that he always wore them, but he had a reason to. "Whatever. You've seen them now. What do you need?"
Lilly sat up straighter. "I needed to tell you that I saw Faith with the Turtles."
"What? I told her to leave them alone!" Kain growled.
"She didn't listen."
Anger and frustration boiled up inside Kain. Why doesn't she listen to me?! "We need to find her," he muttered, decisively.
"I think I know where she is, follow me," Lilly said, grabbing hold of Kain's hand and dragging him out of the house.
"Lilly! Slow down!" Kain grumbled.
"Sorry… Just hurry up."
Kain did his best to keep up with the animated teenage girl. Finally, they turned down an alleyway and Lilly leapt right into a sewer. Her lack of cautiousness told Kain that she had probably done this before.
"Is that safe?" he asked, peering down into the manhole.
"Yup!" Lilly called up. "I've done it before, trust me!"
Kain sighed and lowered himself into the sewers, setting the lid back into its place as he did so.
"Come on, come on, it's this way!" Lilly said, racing down the tunnels.
Kain looked down at the sewage below him, disgusted. "You're running through sewage, you know that?" he asked, limping after Lilly and carefully picking his way around the mess of the sewers.
"Well, duh. We're in the sewers," Lilly called back, matter-of-factly.
Sooner than Kain had expected, the two came to a halt and Lilly looked around. "I think it's this way," she said, gesturing to a tunnel to their left.
"What do you mean you think?" Kain asked gruffly.
"I mean what I said," Lilly stated distractedly as she headed down the tunnel.
"You mean that you don't know where we're going?"
"Um…Well, I haven't exactly been to their home…"
"WHAT? How do you even know it's down here, then?" Kain growled, limping up to Lilly.
Lilly's pace quickened and she said, "Well, because Leonardo told me that they lived down here when I first met him."
Kain sighed. He figured that fighting Lilly was pointless, and stopped arguing. He prayed silently that they were going the right way—for Lilly's sake. If she dragged him down here for nothing, he would kill her.
