[center][i]Ominar, Victorious Secrets[/i]
Day 3: 9am
interacting with: 
[@Tuujaimaa]'s Nabriales
and 
[@Raijinslayer]'s Damian[/center][hr]

Those three words that Nabriales said, initially left her a bit surprised. She wasn't expecting him to say that. But that feeling lasted just for a few seconds... Corinna wasn't sure if he was trying to amend the situation or further degrade it, but his words weren't helping at all...
Nabriales himself didn't seem to understand the concept of fear. That could be a fatal flaw in a dangerous situation, but at the same time, it wasn't like Corinna was actively trying to make him fear her, but instead, her actions were simply her natural response to being threatened or angry. While some would probably think of that as something uncivilized, to not suppress her instincts, for Corinna, it was exactly the same thing that separated wolves from house pets.

About her attacking Damian... Outrageous... Corinna never attacked the boy. She didn't want to hurt him or anything. She would only give him a little bite and taste a little bit of his blood, besides the fact that he would probably also feel pleasure with that. There was nothing wrong with that. [I]Or at least that is what Corinna thought herself...[/I]

[color=black]"Four things come not back: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity, Nabriales..."[/color] Corinna said, without even a single hint of changing her mood.

[color=black]"The harm has already been done, alchemist. I never intended to kill or hurt that boy. I was only going to... taste him. And I was not lying about him liking that. He would certainly find some pleasure in my bite..."[/color] Corinna said, changing her unsettling calm smile, but not her eyes, with a mischievous smile for a brief second.

[color=black]"Regarding your possessions, the costs of having one's pride damaged, are far superior to that. Especially if it was sullied by another person... Besides that, you should not doubt my speed, precision and gracefulness. Collateral damage is not something acceptable for me... Especially when I'm playing..."[/color] she said, without changing her expression.

[color=black]"Answer me one thing, Nabriales... Would you be comfortable if the situation was the same, but instead, in [I]my lair[/I]? Bringing me here without my acknowledgement can already be interpreted as wanting to intimidate or subdue me. Not exactly a good start for a healthy conversation, don't you agree?"
[/color]

[color=black]"I know very well that you have the advantage while we are here. I assume this is enough to justify my hostile behavior."[/color] she said, watching him as he summoned more wine, probably trying to appease her. Unfortunately, the mood was already sullied. His continuous, albeit subtle, threats did a tremendous work in offending her greatly. Even though Corinna herself was rather interested in the potions he claimed he was able to do with her silk, the best choice right now was to leave.

[color=black]"I appreciate the food and the wine, but unfortunately, the mood was already sullied. I believe the situation we're in right now is beyond repair. Even though I [I]am[/I] rather interested on the potions you spoke of, and I'm equally sure that you're also interested in my silk, a negotiation right now is simply impossible. I may return to your store someday, to try to make a deal with you again, if you are really interested in my silk, but if you try anything funny, or if you say anything that hurt my pride again, then it will become clear that we are really and truly [I]incompatible[/I]"[/color] Corinna said, still staring directly in his eyes.

[color=black]"Your continuous, albeit subtle threats and actions did a marvelous job in creating this hostile atmosphere. Now... Mr. Nabriales..."[/color] Corinna said, patiently waiting for his next action.

[color=black]"The clock is ticking... The time is running thin, and so is my patience... This entire situation is incredibly uncomfortable for me [I]and[/I] for you. I would appreciate if I could leave without having to resort to bloodshed. I don't wish to disrespect the old customs I've been following for my entire life."[/color] Corinna said, in a clear message that he should let her go. It was oddly similar to a snake coiling itself, ready for striking when it was feeling threatened. Although it was clear that she wouldn't attack before being provoked, it was equally clear that she would fight if she had to. That simple fact not only answered some questions about Corinna herself, but raised many more...
