The corners of Lily's mouth turned upward at Posco's play on her name. Could Tommy Banks ever be so sweet? She wished Posco was not leaving so soon, even though she would be spending much more time with him in the coming days. "Good night, Posco," she answered simply. "I will see you tomorrow, then." With that, Posco swung up onto his pony, his gaze lingering on her as he began to ride off. Lily waited there, not quite ready to return inside. When he reached a bend in the road that would take him out of sight, he turned and gave a final wave. Lily waved back, and then he was gone.
Lily took her time going back to the Inn, detouring through the stable and wandering up to the door. She did not know anyone in the Common Room, and did not feel up to meeting new people this night, though it was her last night there. It was starting to get late, at any rate, and she would go to sleep soon - there was a long day travelling ahead of her.
Upon reaching her room, Lily realized how tired she was. She had been through several emotional ups and downs throughout the day, which had taken their toll. Nevertheless, her thoughts were pleasant when she finally fell into her bed. Good-night, my Lily of the valley.
