[quote=@TheAmishPirate] JEALOUS DEFINITELY HEXED CRYBABY CRUEL “It would seem,” he swallowed hard. “That the smart human who feared vampires would know better than to trust one.” He did not move for the door. The simple, unspoken response: [i]Why on earth should I believe you?[/i] [/quote] SAVAGE MERCURIAL The human clearly knew how to hold a grudge. [i]Fine[/i]. The long game it is. Samael bows his head as if in concession and takes a step back, palms open and held wide. "A mutually beneficial agreement. A deal, if you like. And a negotiable one. I offer you my protection. I believe that might be worth something to you. When you're ready to discuss the particulars and of your end of it... you know where to find me. If not tonight then... I'm certain life at Sleepshy Rise will have you reconsider before long. I have that feeling. Just don't wait too-" [quote=@Anarion] CREEP [s]WHIPPED[/s] TRUANT "Timothy" she says, and it's probably the first time you've ever heard her use your full name. "Let's go.

If genuine is a word that can even apply to him. Could it be she actually caught him off guard? "Ana..." he breathes, his voice much less certain than a moment ago "...what is this? Are you... breaking up with me?"
