[Maketh is very glad to be hearing from Lilith, though she tries to hide exactly how much. The video has her rattled.]
Of course. You -- you are very important.
[As an ally, but also as a friend. Lilith has seen Maketh at her worst and - like Henry - hasn't sneered at her because of it. Of course Maketh will defend her.]
On that, we are agreed. I had hoped we would have more time before the Door pulled in someone dangerous, but we will have to improvise.
[She hesitates.]
He hurt you. Not badly, but...can you match him, if he tries again?
[She offers a hesitant smile. In spite of the circumstance, hearing that-- she's important to her-- means a great deal.]
You're important, too. He's trying to bait me-- and maybe now you, too. If you can manage, stay away.
[A beat. Lilith shifts, uncomfortable, before reluctantly admitting:]
I don't know. I really, really got lucky: he wanted to kill that other guy, Kanda, more than me. When I fought him, it was like-- it was like nothing had an effect on him. I don't understand.
He seemed like he knew that Kanda guy, so it's possible that he knows more than him that we do. As much as I don't wanna talk to him, that's the only hint I've got.
[Heaven knows Lilith's not going to be able to hold herself back from confronting him on the network much longer, either, with a direct call out like that.]
Right.
Just... be careful. [She's seen Maketh get hurt enough.]

This is...worrying. I won't deny that. If it comes to it, you're fast enough to dodge him. I'll make inquiries for a proper counterattack.
[If it comes to that. It might.]

[Maketh gives her a little smile.] Of course. You as well.
