"Dad! Can you just tell me? At least tell me how you and mom met again!" Lilan groaned.
It's been a few days since Lilan asked for the story. She's had school and all. So she might as well get what she needs before taking another break.
"How we met again? I think that was after all the seven sins found each other again," Lily said.

"There's a fight going on in Liones Kingdom. Looks serious too," Roy said as he leaned his shoulder to a wall.
"What? You want to go there and help? I'm all for you going but I'm not. There's nothing I could gain," Lily said, not even bothering to look at Roy.
"Your dog is there. I heard about it the other day. Even got some traces. You at least want your dog don't you?"
Lily glared at Roy as she walked past him, "You better not be lying."
....
"Who's gigantic dog is this!?" Ban yelled as he stared at the dog that sat next to him.
"That's hers. Get away from him!" Roy yelled as he stared at Ban.
"Tell that to the fucking dog. Won't get away from me!" Ban glared, pushing the dog away just for it to move closer to him.
"Clover. Come here."
The giant dog stopped all movements and ran to the source of the sound that called his name. And the trail lead up to a certain busty woman.
"Lily!" Elizabeth shouted excitedly as she smiled at the woman.
Though, Lily only glanced at her with tired eyes. Lily had developed slight bags under her eyes.
"What's wrong with your damn dog? Wouldn't get off of me," Ban said as he looked up at the woman who was on a slightly higher ground than him.
"I'm not obligated to answer your questions. Roy, we're leaving-"
"Lily," Merlin said, making her presence known, "the woman who was forced to be given the sin of Callousness. You were once big on the market because you could bring those who have died back to life. Then all of a sudden you disappeared. The world thought you had died. Seems not."
"Hold up, you're a sin?" Diane asked, shock and amusement in her voice.
"How come the rest of us never heard of you?" King asked, laying down on his floating pillow.
"If I'm getting this right, you aren't a sin like the rest of us?" Gowther said, tilting his head.
Before anything else could be said, a crowd of people rushed to them. Cheers and happiness rushing from the people's mouths as they surrounded the the sins.
Ban saw Lily slip away from the crowd, she looked uncomfortable. And, surprisingly, Ban was able to slip away too. He followed Lily, taking the turns she took, same pace but he was behind her.
"What do you want?" Lily asked, stopping but not turning around.
"We used to know each other. I know we did. I don't really remember how but we did. Why did you never tell me? Why won't you tell me?" Ban asked.
That's when Lily turned around. Not completely but her eyes were meeting Ban's. She had a look in her eyes. An unknown look. A deep look that had much to say. "I-"
"Lily! Why'd you wonder off like that!? I almost got trampled!" Roy shouted as he ran toward Ban and Lily, Clover running beside him.
Lily's gaze tore away from Ban. She looked back at him. "Come on, Roy. Let's leave," she said as she turned around and walked away.
But Clover didn't leave Ban's side. He didn't want to leave Ban's side. He barked at the two figures. Roy turned around but Lily didn't stop walking.
"If you want to stay with them then do it. I'm not gonna be the one to stop you," Lily said. It was unclear if she was talk to Roy or Clover, but both of them stayed.
...
"It's all your fault," Roy said as he side-eyed Ban.
"The hell? How's it my fault? You're the one who stayed," Ban argued, his face was twisted in a pissed off way.
"If you didn't do something weird to Clover then we all would've left. But no a blue haired idiot had to come in."
"I don't want anything to do with your damn dog. It came to me and it won't leave me alone!"
"Why the hell else would he be glued to your side? And why are you letting him chew on your arm?!"
"I don't know. The feeling of his teeth feel familiar."
"...You sound so stupid right now."
"Arghh fuck you. Why'd you even stay?"
"Because I felt like it." Roy huffed and crossed his arms.
Ban cocked an eyebrow at Roy but he didn't say anything. Ban's face quickly changed to an unreadable expression. He looked sad or questioned or nonchalant. You couldn't really read the exact one. "Lily.. she was gonna tell me something. I don't know what." He started walking, to which Clover stopped chewing on his arm to follow him.
"What'd you asked her?" Roy asked as he walked beside Ban.
"If we used to know each other. I know we did. We'd had to. She's got a look in her eyes. A familiar one."
"Eugh. If you're gonna talk about you falling in love with her then I don't wanna hear it," Roy said as he rolled his eyes.
"What? No! I only love one woman..."
"Don't wanna hear about that one either."
"I can't fucking stand you."
"What was the point in you asking her anyway?"
"I.. don't know. I have questions that she just.. won't answer. I don't know if it's that she can't tell me or if it's that she doesn't know if she should..."
