Carmelo sat upfront with the pilot, trying to make polite conversation while the others sat in between, all deep in thought. "I'm sorry you had to find out about us this way, Ben," whispered Lilly as she leaned over to speak softly into his ear. Startled, he turned and looked at her, confusion clouding his face. As he searched her eyes, his expression softened and he smiled. "I guess I always knew there was something a little different about your family but I'd never have imagined this was it. Changelings? I didn't even know what that meant until Gabriel told me." He looked out of the window for a moment, watching the blue ocean spread out beneath them before turning back to look at her, "at least now I know why Oliver ran away. He found out the truth didn't he?" Nodding sadly, tears filled Lilly's eyes and she tried to brush them away with her fingers. "He... he saw me change." "Into a mountain lion?" Lilly nodded, unable to speak. "I guess that's enough to frighten the living daylights out of anyone," he said with a slow grin as he took her hand and squeezed it.
