She helped him put some clothing on himself and she showed him around the abbey; through the school and chapel and through the library. There they heard Lloyd having an aggravated discussion with a nun, about the poet, Djenaud Smarte. This made Boyce laugh because he knew that Lloyd didn't think very highly of that particular poet.
Lilith knew that the opposite was true of Sister Rhonta and she could hardly keep from laughing, herself.
"Listen to them!" exclaimed Boyce.
"Does Lloyd dislike Smarte as much as Sister Rhonta admires him?"
Lilith asked him.
"It certainly sounds like it!" he said then listened some more to the highly vocal discussion between his friend and the sister.
Soon, however, Lilith lead by the hand, to the garden and there they walked about for several hours and told one another some other about themselves then they sat on a marble bench in a cosy gazebo.
Boyce had fallen into a mutual love with Lilith and each of them were aware of it. Now, however, was the first time that they had voiced their feelings and no one else was anywhere in the garden to disturb them, accept for Zoro, quietly watching them from a tree top.
"I love you, Boyce!" Lilith revealed to him and he gently embraced her.
"I love you!" he also admitted, and they embraced each other's wanton bodies and kissed each other's lonely lips for the first time.
Their time together was brief and yet their love for one another bonded them together so strongly that their spirits became fused as one.
