( she would just leave it there but she'd stopped lying to sabrina )
His kindness was something I hadn't expected. He loved her. Honestly.
( like no man she'd met and it had been something terrifying and beautiful for her. she just doesn't know if she can admit the final parr. that she loved him )
( and on its own if it had been any other man it wouldn't have been any issue, she could have killed him as intended and gotten on with her job. but adam had been so kind, had let lilith lead, had never taken from her more than what she'd wished. and his words-- all of it was honest and genuine and he shouldn't have died for it.
when she speaks again there's a very obvious changing of the subject. she'll let sabrina push it back with questions but free conversation-- )
You'd never met him before?
if part three proves me wrong i will..... eat my own hat
( the pause and her tone will tell sabrina everything, that the question hurts her a little (even though she'd first thought to) and how honest her answer is )
I didn't, no.
( one more pause because this part is slightly more difficult to admit. because she knows sabrina will ask why )
[ That's what she assumes this is about: Lilith's shame, a witch caring for a mortal, something Sabrina could never comprehend given her love for Harvey. ]
( how does she get herself into this? there's a slight pause because she doesn't really want to explain it, never wants to let anyone know that she can be vulnerable )
Just be glad for what you've known, Sabrina, and pray you don't need to learn something else.
( she also doesn't know how to put it into words without revealing so much about herself )

Or rather, has her feeling quite nosy. ]
... he never figured out it wasn't her, did he?

if part three proves me wrong i will..... eat my own hat
[ And she feels bad for never asking. ]
ill eat it if the ever mention him again
( perhaps mrs meeks had been closer or at least had encountered him in some other way then. she'd been very useful in preparing her )
no subject
... Lilith, you didn't... you know...
[ Kill Adam, too?! ]
no subject
I didn't, no.
( one more pause because this part is slightly more difficult to admit. because she knows sabrina will ask why )
The Dark Lord did.
no subject
[ Her jaw drops, so startled that the worst did happen. ]
no subject
To send a message to me.
no subject
He... [ An exasperated sound. ] He was trying to control you, wasn't he? Like when he left his mark on my soul when I kept refusing him.
no subject
( to hurt her, to control her. to ensure she knew that he was the only option in her life. not that it had worked out that way in the end )
But for as much power as he possesses the Dark Lord is also shortsighted.
BABY I'M ALIVE I SWEAR
[ It's deeply relieving to confirm the Dark Lord has flaws they can exploit.
But for now, her focus is Adam and Lilith. ]
Can we bring Adam back?
holds your face and smooches
No. With what was done--
( except she can't finish that sentence )
There is no magic for that.
no subject
At least we stop him, but... [ The people he's hurt before then... she can't fathom. ] It sounds like you cared for Adam.
no subject
( she doesn't say more, not quite able to admit to another what she'd felt. but maybe her lack of answer and what sabrina saw wioo be enough )
no subject
Lilith...
no subject
Yes, Sabrina, I did.
no subject
[ That's what she assumes this is about: Lilith's shame, a witch caring for a mortal, something Sabrina could never comprehend given her love for Harvey. ]
Adam... Harvey... they're good people.
no subject
( it's a very quick rebuff even though she doesn't have to justify it )
It's more-- complicated than that.

no subject
... I think I've learned a lot anyway. [ Pause. ] Harvey and I...
no subject
( oh how the tables have turned. and she's very glad to not be on the end of the questions anymore )
no subject
[ And his brother. ]
... are Harvey and I still friends?
no subject
( but her friends were extraordinary for mortals )
If you weren't friends would he have been there?
