“ —- do you think i’m a liar, fae? ”  she queried, relaxing her own grip in response to his, unwanting to take advantage. it seemed to be an odd question, given she was clad in guild armor, sneaking in the night and pilfering stolen goods. still, it didn’t mean she was lying. 

in that moment, valvossa sighed. with that, she relented her grip, letting go completely so that the mace was in his hands. she’d prefer the worst to be a failed mission– not bloodshed, or the loss of a potential friend. she lifted her hands up in a gesture of surrender. 

“ look, i understand your misgivings. ”  hands dropped. she was preparing to run, just in case. she wanted to trust faelmon, but she had to be careful. “ but i swear to you i speak the truth. ”

eyes narrowed, and she wrenched the orante mace (the item she’d been sent to steal) back, this time dragging him– even with the armor. it betrayed her strength with ease, though whether it was supernatural or not would go unknown, even to him. her blood was, at best, enigmatic and ancient, its scent unlike that of a vampire or a werewolf.

“ i’m sorry, fae, but we all do what we must.”   yet, her sword was still strapped to her hip; betrayed he might have felt, she didn’t want this to end in a fight. judging by the sheer anger in his eyes, though, she was beginning to have second thoughts, if only for her own safety.    “ would you believe me if i told you i was doing the right thing? ”
