[quote=@Anarion] CREEP [s]WHIPPED[/s] TRUANT "That implies we [i]had[/i] something" she says, her voice is steady, calm, hiding a restrained fury. "I [i]thought[/i] we could have something, and you abused that trust and manipulated me when I tried to leave. But I brought you Timmy, and now your little trick has worn off. I already broke up with you, bastard, you just couldn't accept it the first time." She has a hand up and she looks ready to cast a spell, as the other is pulling on Timmy to start moving and leave with her. Samael, you take even one step across that room, even one step towards her and she'll do it. No more being caught unawares. [/quote] SAVAGE MERCURIAL He didn't move towards her, he barely moved at all. That eerie vampire stillness falling over his body as he just stood and watched her, letting each word take its punch. His face though, before it resumes its usual blank stoicism, passed the vicinity of both sadness and contrition before evening out to a beautifully honed stone mask. "Well. You've made yourself perfectly clear this time, Miss Sokolov." His eyes turned to Timmy, "My offer stands, Mr Oglevee Crompton. You're right to be cautious around me, but just because you've correctly identified me as the most powerful monster in your current vicinity doesn't mean you'll be quite so clearheaded in seeing all others around you." A glance went very pointedly to Annalee. "Whatever you think me capable of, I always make good on a deal made and [i]I don't stab my own in the back[/i]." His eyes rested on Ana's face at the last few words. He didn't close the door or walk off, just waited for the two of you to turn your backs to go. If you dare.
