He asked me if I would kiss him. I wanted to, so I did.
[Jon had asked her why. Why would she do it, when she knew how badly it would hurt him? All she could say was that he'd asked. It hurts so badly to think about him, still, and what she did.]
( and in that lilith understands. it hadn't been cruelty at her heart but simple want and desire. she's sure that agnes knew what her touch would do to the man but it doesn't change her thoughts. she's not unkind. and it causes her to squeeze the woman's hand, kiss to the top of her head, words a little muffled by the red hair )
What was done to you was cruel, unkind. You-- simply wanted what no one could give you. It doesn't make you cruel.
[Her voice is small as she acts, knowing that of course Lilith is telling her the truth, that she isn't speaking from a place of dishonesty. Still, Agnes looks so sad.]
Because causing others pain is not an enjoyable thing.
( even though lilith no longer felt guilt about it she didn't enjoy hurting people. unless they deserved it. in the beginning when lucifer had first commanded it she'd cried about it but she'd had to learn to cover and move past her weaknesses as much as it pained her )
[It's a nice sentiment...and one that's hard to accept, but that still resonates with her. After a moment, she smiles, and brings their hands up to her cheek.]

Why can't I stop feeling so guilty?

Feeling such guilt-- shows your true heart.

Thank you, Lilith.

Perhaps without those others here you'll find for yourself who you are.
( lilith had made her own path here without lucifer's influence, had remembered her own wishes and dreams and had followed them. agnes could too )

[It's slow going, and she's still having a difficult time accepting what people say about her, but...it's been a big help.]
I think I will, with time.
