[color=Goldenrod][sub]DRAKUS VULL[/sub][/color][/center]

Deflect, misdirect, retaliate, conceal injury and most importantly, never forget. 
Rei was prodding open wounds with salt covered fingers. Drakus was greatly displeased with her ultimatum. If there was something he despised more than people wrongly challenging his skill or misguidedly gloating about a lack of, it was people trying to manipulate him. 
Or at least thinking they could...

It irked a dark malicious rage deep within him, a vile displeasure that could not be hidden from his eyes. 
It was a cold hallowed stare, one that emanated out wide and filled the air with an undeniable presence. Lesser creatures would tremble or flee, those sensitive to auras would be pained or washed over by darkness. His heart and mind truly held something unholy...
Yet he only smiled at her, it was a fake cruel smile but he held it well. Beside the glimpse at his soul through his eyes, the rest of his face remained emotionless and calm. A contradiction that only added to the eeriness of it all. 

[i]”Please, contain your emotions, your childish flirting and round about flattery won’t work with me.“[/i]
He said, voice filled with a self centred arrogance.

[i]”I’ll come when I am ready, after all it could prove to be quite an educational opportunity, watching the Kappa devouring bone and flesh. “[/i]
A sadistic smile cracked through his blank face.
[i]”But if you’re afraid, and just trying to egg me on as backup, don’t think for a second that my presence offers you any more assurance of safety. None of you are worth the sweat on my brow.“[/i]
