The comfort is appreciated. It makes telling the story a little easier. Rowan is hearing him out and that's important.
"I told her that he'd been hurt and that he was still healing. And she started questioning why we didn't just take him to a healer. I tried to tell her it's a sensitive topic to him. He's still working through it on his own. She called him an idiot for that.
"I also mentioned that I'm not really sure if someone like, say, Lioriley even could heal it, assuming Lucas consented. Ghoul attacks are nasty for a reason, they always linger a little. That's when she..." His hand in Rowan's squeezes harder.
"She said then we had two options. Ask the fae to heal him or kill him and have him hard reset." He still can't believe Lilith would say to kill Lucas. Even if it was only hypothetical, why say it at all? She knew he'd be upset by it, she even said so. Lucas almost died already once! This isn't even a hypothetical option to consider. Not at all!
"She said she knew I'd be upset by that and told me I should just... not be upset by that?!" He's getting animated now. His free hand swinging in the air in a very 'what the fuck' kind of gesture.
"But I just-! How could she even say that? So I told her of course we're not fucking doing that and that if I found out she tried to do it we wouldn't still be friends after."
He deflates a little now. "Which, I know in hindsight was shitty but... she just killed Mark! And she said it so callously. I... I lost my cool."
