DARKENED BLOOD.

                          ❛     𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐅𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓,   𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇.     you had ought to save your pretty words for someone that might actually be fooled by them.   ❜

❛     i really don’t think i`ve done anything worthy  𝑶𝑭 𝑺𝑼𝑪𝑯 𝑨𝑵𝑰𝑴𝑶𝑺𝑰𝑻𝒀   from you  ,  my dear.   perhaps  ,   we’ve started off on the wrong foot   ?      ❜

ah’jhyen: puts him Outside

oh   ew. 

❛     THOSE FACES YOU MAKE  are quite unsightly  ,   no offense.     ❜

‘ you’re FAR too handsome to have anything good up your sleeve. ’ it’s said while a cautionary hand rests on the hilt of one of her swords, a skeptical expression on her face. anyone that good-looking can’t be trusted, it’s just FACTS. a wolf in sheep’s clothing, she supposes. ‘ something i can HELP you with ? ’

THERE IS A DISTINCT SILKEN TONE TO HIS VOICE  ,  one that carries over effortlessly despite the gracious space between them .    yet  ,  there is also something  DARK AND INHERENTLY VENOMOUS  about it as well  ;   as though it may reach out and strangle the unsuspecting with tightening coils that shrink with each passing second.   

❛     THAT`S NEW.   most are not aware they’re being fooled by me until it’s far too late for them to do anything about it.    ❜     HE DOES NOT APPROACH HER  ,   however.   he merely stands with one hand languidly extending out to act as a perfect perch for what appears to be a harmless insect   ;    A BLACK BUTTERFLY TO BE PRECISE.   wings beating slow and calm as it lands.

  “ Not so sure it would be a waste, but you should try it anyways. “ She offers him something of a wry look, raising her eyebrow. Well, it was almost a smile.

       “ It might be fun, like gambling…but instead of money you might just turn out like swiss cheese. “

❛     hm.    ALWAYS SUCH A TEASE.    ❜     thumbs hook themselves into his pockets  ,  brows beginning to rise as if attempting to reach all the way back to his hairline.  AND WITH THAT  ,   HE LEANS DOWN MORE TO HER LEVEL    looking like a cat that’s in mid-stretch.   THOSE BRIGHT GOLDEN EYES FLASHING WITH AMUSEMENT.     

  “ Do I look like a genie to you? Maybe I’d start smiling if you stopped calling me ‘Miss Zero’. “

❛     i`m almost certain if i called you anything besides  ‘  MISS ZERO  ‘   it would result in my untimely demise.     ❜    HE GRINS THEN  ,   giving a lazy flick of his wrist as if to put even more emphasis on his point.
