The phoenix cried fat tears of pearl. [For Lila; dated for 04/22/17]

Lily loves James dearly, she does. And Sirius, as well, of course. And all of their friends hold a special place in her heart as well. But sometimes, she just needs a moment away. Most of her friends here are decidedly male, and there's only so much of boys being boys that Lily can handle on a daily basis.

So she shoots off a text to Lila to meet her at The Beanstalk for a drink. Despite it's reputation, Lily has come to be fond of the bar. It's built by and aimed for those with magical abilities and those of the supernatural persuasion, which is a nice sort of island in the midst of so much Muggle technology and advancements. Not to mention, they make the same magical drinks of Lily's home, which she misses more than she can say.

So she Apparates to just outside of the bar, giving the password and making her way inside, dressed casually in a silver, floral sundress and dark grey boots, her money safe in a purse she's charmed so she doesn't have to worry about thieves.

She makes her way to the bar and orders a Knotgrass Mead for herself while she waits for her friend to appear.

"Potions," Lily repeats with a nod. "I don't know about the magic of your world, but I can get you the ingredients and such for potions I've used."

Lily does her best to keep her face from growing overly concerned, but as she watches Lila, she can't help but become even more so.

"Sometimes?" She repeats, softly. "So there's a very good chance you could be pregnant. You should take a test."

"But I don't want a baby," Lila blurts out, as if her will alone could keep it from happening. She's never thought about the possibility, because for her there's never been one. She takes care of herself, and herself only.

"I don't feel pregnant, Lily," she insists, feeling dizzy from more than the drink. "I don't feel like there's...anything in me." She quiets a moment, her mouth drawn in a firm line. "What is the test?"

Surely she'll pass it, and it will say she's fine.
