Very intriguing,"[/color] Victoire commented to herself once she noticed Henry taking the route back to the Machina Base Camp. The very base camp that would be overrun by her roses in a very short order. [color=ed1c24]"That's the only explanation for why no one of the other Machina are trying to intercept him. Well, since he looks like he's hurt, he probably can't make use of his Silver Eyes... That poor kid still hasn't learned the meaning of restraint, I see. If I ambush him and am right, I might eliminate the biggest nuisance I could possibly have. If I'm wrong, however, I may end up fighting a losing battle, isolated and unable to coordinate the rest of the war effort. There's no one close to him, at least. I perhaps should probe the waters and beat a hasty retreat if need be..."[/color] she considered all of this for a few seconds before her eyes deviated to Maen, once more.

[color=ed1c24]"My name is Victoire Bordeaux. You can call me friend, now that we are acquainted,"[/color] Victoire turned to Maen. The vampire had her characteristic fanged grin embellishing her fine features as she twirled her hair around her left index. [color=ed1c24]"Say it, would you like to help me take down a powerful ally of the Humans? We should take the chance to pounce on such prey while it's weak and shambling. If you succeed, I'm sure that great things will wait for you in your new home,"[/color] Victoire said to Maen before creating a couple more of her wolf familiars, commanding one to retreat back to Demon territory, and another to stay put on this very chamber. Those were mere fallback measures in case the assault on Avaritia went awry. Victoire would never, ever go into a fight without means of retreating to a safe position.

Once all was said and done, Victoire opened a portal close to Henry's location, beckoning Maen to come with her. A moment later, Henry would be assaulted by a volley of Bloody Javelins, seeking to impale him without as much as a warning. In case he avoided dying to the sneak attack, Victoire would say, [color=ed1c24]"Well, now, Avaritia, I knew that you were displeased with our ways, but betrayal is too low even for one such as you. Do you think you can simply mingle with the Humans and their Machines? To be one of them? That's actually personal for me, given that I placed my trust on you on more than one occasion. This is where we break up our allegiance,"[/color] Victoire splashed more of her blood around, summoning a pair of her Hellhounds to blast Henry with their fiery breaths before snapping her fingers to signal who Maen should be attacking if he chose to follow Victoire through the portal.

[color=ed1c24]"Like hell, I'm going to let anyone ruin all that I have done up to now. You and your cursed eyes are just too powerful to even exist. No matter how much it pains me to say so, die now, Avaritia..."[/color]
