Strickler hands him the little wrapped box, crossing his arms with a small, tight lipped smile--his claws dig into his biceps, but other than that he tries to seem pleasant and at ease as he can. Tries to ignore the part of his mind screaming about how dumb he was being right now, giving it back to Angor--like *this* no less... // He sighs, looking down to check his fingerless gloves instead of looking him in the face, "Merry Christmas, Angor." --@stalklingking
A box was placed in the assassinâs hands without verbal announcement or cue. It was wrapped - coated in the same holiday that smeared itself over everything in Arcadia along with frosty cold. Angor failed to understand it. Thus, the gift was almost discarded with a sneer of contempt. Almost was the key word in this situation. In his confusion and distaste the bond was not minded, but Angor felt it after regarding Stricklanderâs body language. The ring.Â
Sparing not a moment to emote through expression the trollâs head turns downward as a claw pierces the parcel. The box yields easily and his prize is exposed to sight and touch. Grey and cursed gold. Shining bright as an ember in scarred palm. Gaze flicking up instantly Angorâs hand curls about the Inferna Copula protectively before a non-decorated talon is chosen to bear what was rightfully his.
âA fleshbag name for a fleshbag tradition.â the pale killer rasps.
âMerry...â Discarding the remnants of the package Walter presented to him, the motion transitions into a strike of fist closing about serpentine flesh of the smaller beings neck. Brows finally coming down and lips pulling back into a warped and possibly even giddy grin Angor takes this presented opportunity to loom.
âHaving a soul returned,â claws prickle against what was in grip, âI suppose for a night I could be merry as well.â
