Lillian stared at her calmly before shrugging.
She took another sip, then answered:
"Change of taste, y'know? I just now like the bitter taste of coffee more than a calming tea."
She could also say that having an entire identity fusion and several life-threatening moments could serve as a way for someone to undergo massive change.
But...
She wasn't going to say all that at the risk of worrying her mother even more and peaking her suspicion.
Lowering her cup to her plate, she looked towards Millis, leaning the side of her face into her palm.
"How'd you find this match, Millis? I think beside that little accident, you had some fun."
"Ya bet! Besides that forest trip and our little drinking session on Reph's birthday, this was the most fun I had!"
Lillian nodded but was then met by a curious and puzzled look from her mother.
She then heard her ask:
"Drinking session?"
The corner of Lillian's lips twitched.
'Ah... I guess I didn't tell her about the time I got drunk.'
