Lilly had no way of even suspecting that anything was wrong. She had heard that her boss had gotten into a conflict, but surely, it had nothing to do with the polite gentleman that had called her. She arrived promptly, carrying a try of refreshments in one arm, and using her other hand to navigate with her cane.
She wasn't sure if the set of footsteps she heard was another customer or her mysterious guest, and set her things down on a table. She seemed to be quite relaxed already, and took a seat as she waited for her acquaintance to arrive.
Wrath was not aware that the very alchemist who had attacked him was the boss of this woman.
As he caught her entering with a tray of refreshments, he pulled his frown into a seemingly genuine smile--he noted that she walked with a cane. Perhaps--yes, she must be blind. That should make things easy indeed.
Wrath strode up to her, bending slightly towards her sitting frame. "Pardon me, madam, but are you the lovely woman whom I had the occasion to speak with over the Dreamberry?"
Yes--he watched the direction the cane moved, its placement on the floor. The elderly or infirm touched the cane directly ahead of them, using it for balance. He himself--used his sword as a cane, as it was convenient. And--as vigorous as his soul was, he_did feel his age more often than not. But this woman was quite blind, as she moved the cane in various spots in front of her, using the cane to locate where she had been, where she was, and where she was headed-determining the terrain--and her hands did not tremble while advancing. She looked quite young.
"That is correct. I am quite honored to at last meet you in person. Not to mention you have picked a choice location." He gestured to the hot spring with his hand, his clothes rustling as he turned around. He then faced the blind woman again. Wrath grasped her hand in a greeting--its roughness betrayed a hint of his nature and belied his genteel words.

She stood again when she heard Wrath's voice; so it was him after all. "Yes, and you must be the gentleman who contacted me."
