Her gaze served as an indication of involvement with Rose, which Cain duly noted.[/indent] [indent]Rose once again spoke, and Cain returned her his attention. Chuckling as Rose waved the need for apology, and nodding as she proposed a magic trick, Cain seemed to have made a heel-turn on his dreary manner. The friendly grin from earlier remained on his face, now reduced to a pleasant smile one may have when conversing with a new friend.[/indent] [indent]Cain found himself concluding that Rose was an interesting character. He could still sense her unease, and almost felt that she was aware of his (and by extension, her) current predicament. Undoubtedly, he could tell that there was a playful drive behind her actions, a motivation akin to a young boy who played with fire.[/indent] [indent]Her magic trick, of course, only served to further Cain’s perplexion. He once again chuckled as he heard Rose chant an odd whisper, but believed it to be some sort of showmanship put on to spice up the performance. There was something of the words she spoke that rung a bell in Cain’s mind, and Cain racked his mind to remember where he had heard similar words before.[/indent] [indent]It was only when Cain saw the red concoction that he fell out of pondering the mysterious syllables. The glass, placed between Rose and Cain, seemed no different than any other drink presented here at the bar; but Cain could not help but glance at it again and again as if some part of him knew what it was. It was so distracting, that Cain failed to even applaud Rose for her magic trick. And if some part of Cain suspected what it was when he saw the glass, then every fibre in his body became aware when he smelled the ferrous odour of blood. A glass of human blood, lying right in front of Cain.[/indent] [indent][color=f0d1aa][i]What the fuccckkkkkkk…[/i][/color] Cain would’ve screamed just a day earlier. But Cain was no longer the only one controlling himself. There was a curse that had been passed to him by the firstborn, one whose presence grew larger and larger in his head. It twisted him, made Cain care naught except for the satiation of his hunger.[/indent] [indent]Cain stared fearfully at the cup, his lips still pursed in the form of a smirk. His stomach growled, but his humanity prevailed. Even when it was in such a convenient form, even when he could barely hold himself together, Cain couldn’t do it. The blood had once belonged to a [i]human[/i], something which Cain himself was just a day earlier. The thought of drinking something like that… Cain couldn’t do it without losing himself.[/indent] [indent]...[/indent][indent][color=2C2C2C]"͠Th̶at's ͟rįght.̴ ̧L̨e̕t̢'̡s ͘fi͠nd̛ ̸a̶ ͜way͢ ou̸t̸ ̨of̢ ̡th̛is [color=252525]p̴rȩdic̕am҉én͞t[/color], ̢togęther҉.́"[/color][/indent] [indent]Deadly realization dawned. Realization that could solve all of Cain’s problems.[/indent] [indent]He blinked, and Cain’s blank eyes flashed from green to red. He blinked again, and they returned. Without acknowledging his change in appearance, he tore away from the glass to resume eye contact with Rose. Though delayed, Cain clapped in applause.[/indent] [indent][color=f0d1aa]”You’re quite the talented magician. I’m impressed.”[/color] Cain stood up, ignoring the glass between them and returning his hands to his sides. His interest in the cup had abruptly terminated, instead he continued to focus on Rose.[/indent] [indent][color=f0d1aa]”But, I have to wonder…”[/color] Cain waltzed confidently as he spoke until he was standing within a foot of Rose, and leaned in towards her till she could have felt his breath on her ear. Though, whether one felt Cain’s breath was irrelevant -- the dead need not breathe after all.[/indent] [indent][i][color=f0d1aa]”Who’d you kill to fill that glass, Witch.”[/color][/i][/indent] edit: I BAD ENGLISH AGAIN
