Since arriving in the city, Lilly has learned all sorts of new things. She's learned not to draw on walls without permission (although she still does, from time to time, if inspiration strikes), she's learned not to run off without someone with her (to which she really thought Ruckus would be the 'someone' in question but, unfortunately, the dog seems pretty intent on getting her to stay put for reasons Lilly doesn't understand), and most important of all, she's learned not only what be good means but how to actually follow the simple instruction to the very best of her ability... when she's in the mood, of course.

Fortunately in this particular instance, Lilly's in the right kind of mood.

Of course, her decision to behave doesn't mean she's actually okay with meeting another adult. Grown-ups, in Lilly's opinion, are extremely, well, weird. Everything from the way they look (nothing like Mama) to the way they speak to how they act, they've been a constant source of confusion and apprehension for her since the minute two of them found her and Victoria in their cabin in the woods.

Still. Greta is nice and even lets her draw on walls - or, at least, one very specific wall - and got her a pet of her very own. So when Greta asks her to be nice to Iman, Lilly intends to do precisely that.

She just has to get past the worst part, first. Actually meeting the woman.

Iman dropping into a crouch helps only slightly. It's enough to keep Lilly from darting behind Greta or screeching and rushing off to hide in a cabinet. It isn't, however, enough to get a smile from the girl. Instead she simply stares, slightly widened eyes darting from Greta, to Ruckus, back to Iman. One hand clutching tightly to her pet's fur coat, she mumbles out a barely audible, quickly spoken, and most definitely not properly enunciated, "S'nice to'eet ewe."

At least she didn't bite her.
