Vale looked at Jenso as the sun dropped lower in the sky and disappeared over the horizon. Vale's eyes began to fill with a darkening red hue, and his thin muscular features almost tripled in size, turning him into a predominantly bulky figure. His teeth grew sharper and more curved, and he moved towards Jenso in a quick motion, stopping just in front of his face. [color=9e0039]"You should be,"[/color] He growled, extending one of his hands forward and grabbing Jenso's arm before he could react. [color=9e0039]"The only reason you're alive right now is soon to be forfeit you miserable [i]whelp.[/i] You must learn your limits and eliminate threats before they crawl back up from the depths of defeat and crush your puny little skull,"[/color] Vale urged, reaching into his coat. He backed away, let go of Jenso, and pulled out a small glowing orange orb. [color=9e0039]"I'm not here to defend your stupidity."[/color] With that, he crushed the orb in his pale fingers, and rose the hand that clutched Jensos arm earlier to his mouth. There was blood dripping slowly from two of his fingernails, where he's sliced into Jenso's arm as carefully and painlessly as he could manage. [color=9e0039]"Can you grasp it with the sparse colony of cells floating 'round and 'round in your little brain? Kill when you can, and run when you cannot. There is no shame in retreat, no, not a shred. Your pride will swallow you, far before you're strong enough to oppose the darkness on your horizons."[/color]
