[b]Obvious.[/b] The right word was obvious.
"[b]Power.[/b]" Martin answered immediately.
"[b]You. Want. Power.[/b] And, no you aren't."
He all too casually pointed at her claws.

And, -since you can kill me faster than I can draw my contingency plan- so am I. So let's keep it civil right?
And you're not hungry either, the older you get the more discipline you have. Busting out at a dinner party would be quite undisciplined. A rookie move. Embarrassing. So the only logical conclusion would be that you are making an attempt at intimidation.
Pointless of course, clearly I am aware of what vampires are and what you can do to me, informing me will not change anything. 
But what it does do, quite importantly, is implying that you feel [b]threatened[/b] by me. Oh what would the elders gossip if they heard.
My advice my lady? Don't bark. Don't bite. Listen up because my offer is one of a lifetime, [i]mine.[/i] If I die it's all off the table.
And you lot will have a single human snack rather than a shot at the ultimate comfort, as well as a gold mine of information."

Martin spoke fast, and though his words were condescending his voice was sweet and polite.
