Lily

"What have you pair been talking about?" asked Evaline as she took a seat beside Harold. Lily of course took up a seat beside Kat. Perhaps not sitting directly across her parents would be better. It would be a less obviously drawing of lines certainly… but there wasn't really a choice there in Lily's mind. She would sit beside Kat even if it meant the conversation was potentially harder.
"Oh, nothing really, just waiting for you both to get here," said Harold easily. Evaline looked over at Kat who simply looked back without answering. It had not sunk into Evaline's mind that Kat couldn't lie. Not properly at least so she didn't take this as anything other than a confirmation of what Harold said.
"I see… well… Lily I suppose you can begin then," said Evaline already trying to take control of the conversation. The thing was… they had to let her. It was much too easy for Evaline to do so it was best to just accept that loss of initiative.
