Niko was still staring. Behind his back, he had a small flame in his hand. He was still unsure if the ghost was benevolent or not. Niko didn't speak, but he did draw closer.

"Weird name." She eyed him. "Are you, like, royalty or something?"

"The last prince of my kingdom, in fact."

She raised an eyebrow. "And what kingdom might that be?" she asked skeptically.

"A prince, huh?" Niko asked, "What are you doing here, then? Don't you have some afterlife to hang out in?"

Cyprus turned to Niko. "Oh, so the child hiding in the shadows decides to speak. Well for what it's worth, Purgatory is horrible."

Lili grimaced. "Afterlife? Purgatory? What the hell is this?"

"Purgatory? Hah. I've been to hell and back," Niko scoffed.

Cyprus rolled his eyes. "You and I both."

Lili's eyes widened. "OK, guys, seriously. What are you both going on about?"

Niko shrugged. "Death. What comes after."

"Well for some magical reason you two are the only creatures I've seen in the city the entire night. And I've been wandering around this half of the city."

"And how would either of you know about that?"

"Because I just so happen to be a dead prince from a few thousand years ago."

Lili blinked and burst out laughing. "You're nuts."

"And I was brought back to life," Niko added, "I would've rather stayed where I went, honestly."

"Gods I would have loved to be in whatever afterlife you got shot into. I spend 3,000 years or so breaking out of Purgatory," Cyprus grumbled

Lili took a step back. "You guys are joking, right? You don't actually believe," she waved her arms wildly, "this?"

Just for kicks, Cyprus detatched his head and held it in his hand. "This believable enough for you sweetheart?"

"Gods I would have loved to be in whatever afterlife you got shot into. I spend 3,000 years or so breaking out of Purgatory," Cyprus grumbled

"It wasn't pleasant, that's for sure. But it's more pleasant than being here," Niko said. He turned to Lili. "I can't do that, but I do have 23 or so scars from where I was stabbed to death if you want to see them."

Cyprus turned his detached head to Niko. "Ooh, 23? That sounds like it was wonderful to go through, how many people did you have to make angry for that?"

"One…" Niko muttered, "It was my mother. Nothing like a woman scorned, yeah?"

"Ah, sounds like my mother when she had a few drinks. Never could hold her wine. One wrong move and she's sending everyone to the executioner."

Just for kicks, Cyprus detatched his head and held it in his hand. "This believable enough for you sweetheart?"

Lili let out a small scream. (is swearing allowed?) "What the fudge," she said weakly. She blinked and shook her head. "I can't believe it. Wow. I cannot believe this."

(yeah swearing's allowed) Cyprus chuckled, putting his head back to its proper place. "Delayed reaction much?"
