Lily was a bit nervous about meeting someone new; perhaps it was instinctual. But, she knew that she and Hestia had several things in common and that helped; plus, Hestia seemed like a genuinely nice person and someone she could be friends with. That was the best part.

She picked a table at the World's End, outside for once as it wasn't too terribly hot out and waited, looking over a menu.

Hestia touched the tip of her finger to her mouth. "I promise to keep that little fact a secret." She smiled at Lily's next question, to let her know it wasn't a bother. "Two years and don't worry about the questions. How else are you supposed to find out things? I'm slowly getting used to it? Honestly, I should be older than what I am right now."

Lily laughed out loud at Hestia's last statement. "I'm supposed to be 42, I think. However, I will keep this body for now. I was the one every was acting like they were seeing a ghost over. Even my best friend was in awe at me being here." She stared at the table. "Do you feel lucky to be here?"

"I should be thirty one, but I'm twenty nine as of the year two thousand. Dying then randomly coming back to life can do odd things to the age you're supposed to be. Not as much as an age change as you though." Hestia said. "You look wonderful if you don't mind me saying so."

Hestia pursed her lips as she contemplated Lily's question. "...I don't know," she said slowly. "I got told that this was a second chance, a chance to make things right. But I really didn't have anything to do over. I was pretty happy with where I was in life, with the direction it was going. Yeah, there were little things I would have liked to have changed, different decisions. But none of that was major." Hestia looked down at the table then over at Lily. "What about you?"
