he   senses   rather   than   hears   her   approach  ,    and   grits   his   teeth.      she   wants   to   build   trust  ,    or   maybe   that   isn’t   the   word   for   it  ,    but   this   is   some   way   to   do   it.       “    what   do   you   want?    ”

I love you so much Jordan, my heart is broken right now.

a frown on her face indicates she’s not too happy at the options . zhanna would have much preferred a middle ground . there needed to be grey area , she didn’t like either or options . “ what about the ones of us that would rather just blend into the background , v . i don’t want to be noticed and i don’t want to hide , i just want to be left alone , why can’t that be an option . why do we have to pick one ? ”

          her  voice  pulls  him  out  of  his  daze.   the  way  her  words  tangle  with  the  air  sends  a  chill  up  his  spine.   the  sense  of  shock  almost  instantly  morphs  into  a  rush  of  adrenaline  and  suddenly  things  don’t  seem  so  bad.   he  gestures  to  the  now  dead  body.   “  poor  guy  didn’t  even  see  it  coming.   maybe  next  time  people  will  think  twice  before  they  fuck  with  you.  ”   he  takes  a  few  steps  toward  the  brunette  opposite  him.   a  slight  smirk  creeps  its  way  onto  his  features.   “  told  you  I  could  do  it.  ”  

     “ you are absolutely radiating tonight my dear, what have you been up to? “

“ I WASN’T ALWAYS LIVING    in norta, “ the young redhead explained, tapping her fingers at the table. she hated having to have dinner with all the girls who competed in the queensrial, but viviana seemed to join them most of the time, and she was like a breath of fresh air. “ my father and my mother were a uh... taboo romance. “ fingers dance, flames licking them as they do, “ but when he found out, and my burner abilities became apparent to the nymph my mother was married to... well. luckily, he just gave me back. “ a laugh, but she turned her attention to her anyway. “ you know, it’s not so bad in the lakelands. the girls are much better conversationalist. “
