Grant's eyes narrowed once more, as he felt his hands tense. He knew that it was judgement day. Whether she lived or died was in his hands, his decision. He felt himself sweat and shake as he thought. He knew that he wasn't allowed to physically harm her, under Asartha's name...it was the right thing to do. However, she didn't say that as a Trinity, he could not do other things that could help him settle...that is where toying comes in....

[color=007236]"So...it's...been a while, hasn't it?"[/color] He slowly placed the knife onto the counter, making sure it was out of her reach if she were to attack him. [color=007236]"I've...I've been waiting a while, y'know, for a meeting like this...in person. You've grown slightly, since that Year had gone by...since the 5 months of my last encounter. You were so much younger-looking...no offence..."[/color] He chuckled in an odd way as he sat, his voice still stuttering as he questioned in his mind of what he was saying. He took a bottle as he sat down in a chair, the woman's eyes following his movement. [color=007236]"You've been busy...r-right? Running? Being used? It's...quite the sight...seeing this happen, before my very eyes...here's me thinking I had a chance, to end the pain and avenge her...yet...something stopped me. Twice. I have attempted so many times and yet it was completely under your radar. Everything was...it will continue that way...but let me j-just tell you..."[/color] He saw her tilt her head as she looked worryingly at his strange and bizarre words. [color=007236]"Oh...p-please...don't look a-at me like that...I k-know you when I see you...I-I know when I s-see the Flamed Beast that k-killed her...I know when I see y-you...[i]Hope Ranavin[/i]..."[/color]
