JEALOUS DEFINITELY HEXED CRYBABY CRUEL [quote=@Elanorin]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] A flurry of emotions ran through Timmy's eyes. Anger. Suspicion. Confusion. Was that a trace of curiosity? Maybe only a trace. But he settled on relief. Finally, this awful night might end. [quote=@Elanorin]Samael's eyes quickly shift to Annalee and there is obvious surprise on his face. He searches her expression and the light in his eyes changes. He looks genuinely taken aback. 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?" [/quote] ...you know, he really ought to know better by now. "Annie..." Timmy glanced to the door (on the other side of Annie) and back to the emotionally distraught vampire (on the other side of empty, unprotected space). [i]"Are[/i] you breaking up with him?"
