He speaks to you so casually, like heâs known you forever even as he tacks on a âYour Highnessâ, and you know heâs only doing that because you mentioned enjoying it. Yes, you did laugh, but now heâs got your faith in his mouth again and you still donât want that. Heâs got no right to be prying into that shit. Youâre luckily under absolutely no obligation to answer him, no matter how innocent he thinks the questioning is.
"Depends upon the situation what gets to be considered important, whether individual or a group," you say, frowning a little. Well, shit. Guess you answered him anyway. Thatâs weird. "Coming down to a motherfucking arbiter of humor, such as the situation is to call for present, decision all belongs to me." You canât frown for too long with him grinning like that. Heâs just⌠grinning at you. Smiling and sharing his shitty jokes and chatting as if you two were the greatest friends in all of Alternia rather than two trolls who just met, hardly showing the tiniest bit of concern for his damn life.
Youâre almost impressed.
You arenât surprised to hear that he hadnât considered complacency within the highbloods at how they got their power. Without having it you suppose he couldnât fathom the rush. âSpoke to you earlier of bloodlust, did I up and motherfucking not? Act as though âsubjugationâ is not the root of position mineâs title.â You sigh at him and shake your head again, run your tongue over one of your fangs. âWill to take anything to keep our own places, lives motherfuckinâ included. You surely have noticed. Would to willingly, gladly drown our own selves in warmer bloods if it all meant our positions would be kept as they are.â
You shudder and grin a little at the image that stirs in your pan (coated in colors and laughing hysterics, swallowing liters of blood and choking on the stolen lives of those beneath you, respiration sacks filling with motherfucking paint, yes) before you manage to settle yourself back down. You really should kill him. Really should. End it here before he gets himself caught by someone who wonât allow him a quick death or any sort of dignity towards his corpse, end it before the Empress discovers him and spears him on her goddamn fork, before his little mass of followers begins to rise up and before crushing them under boot as you give a command to an executioner. You unfortunately can not accurately picture his blood on your hands. The urge to find out swells in you again. It would be so easy. One quick strike and it would be yours, the knowledge of that fever heat and why his body burns so hot, and youâre willing to collect any color paint you ever can. But you donât, and you arenât sure whatâs stopping you exactly, and youâre so deep in thought over puzzling through his potential colors and what it might take to cause his skin to feel so nearly like a dying fire that you hardly register him writing something down.
Your thoughts are interrupted by the press of his hand into yours, and you snap back to attention with a reflex growl in your throat just as he pulls away from you. Thereâs a scrawled note in your palm. Presumptuous ass. You read over the coordinates and look back to him before chuckling again. âCould to have sworn I got all insinuating that youâre a dead motherfucker should I to be seeing you again, nothing to speak of you touching me as if we were well acquainted true.â But he invited you anyway, even went so far as to say he wanted to talk more, hear what you think. You puzzle over it a moment before tucking the paper into a pocket. âTrust me, ah? May to be up and regrettinâ all that.â
Before he goes, like heâs getting out of this so easily, like he just knows youâre not going to kill him. You hate it when people who arenât you are right. âNothing else in this moment precise. Would to still suggest you stop what youâre up and doing.â You look him over again and exhale heavy through your nostrils before shrugging at him, and muttering a bit, more to yourself than to him as you turn away. âExpect you to disregard what all I have to be sayinâ and continue, honesty given at you though. Get your motherfucking self killed as such.â With that said you walk off, further in thought than you expected to leave this particular meeting. Damn him. âMight just be to seeing you, âSignlessâ. Might just.â
