[Lily. Her voice makes him open his eyes and look towards the door. To him, this was a pleasant surprise. He still hasn't met the little girl and had thought about her from time to time since back when she was hallucinating.
He has no idea she has any kind of relationship with Kage, though. Or that she's got a wild animal inside her.
He gets out of bed and shuffles to the door, opening it with a faint smile prepared for her.]
[Lily doesn't smile back. Her anger by far outweighs her sympathy. She holds the bandanna at her side tightly, so tightly her knuckles are turning white. Her other hand hangs at her side, fingers twitching every now and then, as if she's forcing herself to keep them there.]
[Raphael isn't scared of her, as he doesn't know what she's capable of. But she's got it all wrong. Raphael never intended to kill Kage. He just... sort of... lost his temper. It happens with him. A lot.
He bites his lower lip, at a loss for words, and rubs a hand over his smooth head.]
No, Lily. If I'd known he had a daughter, that it was you, that... that would be different.
[What kind of guy lets the Captain punish his kid along with the passengers, though? That's bizarre. Of course, Raphael doesn't have a reason to think she's his adopted daughter either yet.]
B-Besides. I didn't mean to kill him. I didn't. I swear.
[Okay. This is getting kind of weird now. His brow furrows slightly and he takes another tiny step back.]
Lily... I'm sorry... trust me, if I could go back an' stop myself, I'd do it... [Swallows hard and raises his eyebrows hopefully] You gotta - gotta know what happened to me, right...? If you gotta hate me, just... think about that. [Maybe that's the only way he can make her feel better.]
[Lily claws one hand through her hair, the other still clutching Raph's bandanna in a death grip. She does think about that, Raph. She thinks about it all the time. Your screams, Redd's revenge, it's all one twisted lullaby. Lily could leave the recording on while she sleeps.]
There is no way home. They've been saying that forever! We're not going home!
[It still baffles her. Why do people think there's some magical way to go home? The crew says all the time, no, you're not going home. Some people aren't as easily pacified as Lily, it seems.]
[What's the point of this? There's no explanation for a little girl whose father you've killed, even if you were killed in turn and the both of them came back.
That's when he notices his bandanna.
...really fucking funny, Ganondorf.]
...listen, just give me that, and leave. [He says it softly. It's not a demand, it's more like asking permission.]
[Lily wants to bash his stupid green skull into teeny-tiny bits. But that's bad Lily, very bad. Bad.
So Lily reigns in her crueler half and throws the bandanna at his feet. With that, she gives him a look, a look that clearly suggest she will fuck his shit up if he touches Kage again, and turns to stride briskly down the hall.]

Once he tried to kidnap me and I [in the words of Erol] broke him. I'll -
[Break him? Raph's a giant motherfucking turtle. Lily doesn't even know how she'd kill him.
But she will if he looks at Kage the wrong way.]
