[i]Never One...

[quote]“Are you done with that? Thanks!” She reached out, the cuffs jangling at her wrists as she grabbed his spoon and promptly shoved it through the muzzle without waiting for an answer. The metal crunched easily under her teeth, disappearing into her gullet in a mere moment.[/quote]

Alfred didn't even get to say anything when the alien woman had taken his spoon and devoured it with a terrifying relish. It wasn't even edible. Just a stale piece of stainless steel that would have caused some serious digestive problems for anyone that wasn't an extraterrestrial vacuum cleaner… but not Kailani. 

[color=7ea7d8]"The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this bitch."[/color], Frostbite called out from the back of Alfred's mind, eliciting a slight chuckle from the cryomancer. [color=7ea7d8]"Look at that! She just ate your spoon! How… how are you laughing?"[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"No, I don't mind, especially now that you've already done the deed.", Alfred said to Kailani with a shrug. The primordial entity inside him raged, but he ignored its furious petitions just for once. "Go on, eat the fork and the knife and the plate and the tray, too. And the glass. Wait, no, not the glass. I need it."[/color]

Alfred winked. She was funny, at least for now. He figured if he kept to her good side, she wouldn't try eating his hand. Or would she?

[quote]Rueyn had learned that this face of hers was actually an advantage in this kind of environment, and did it every so often to remind people that she was not human, not bound by human limitations and was still capable of ripping you to shreds, without her powers.[/quote]

[color=7ea7d8]"Oh my, scary..."[/color], Alfred muttered loudly. Demons were something that the Frostbite hadn't spoken of, not a lot at least. It could be that it had a bad experience with them, or simply have not gained the opportunity to interact with one, not until now. Maybe it just didn't have an opinion on them.

Frostbite whispered once again. [color=7ea7d8]"Tread lightly with demons. They are terrifying."

"I know, I can see that. Though what kind of demon is this anyway…"

[quote]"Who amongst us...is the strongest?" Körbl this time said loudly, body readied and willing to jump into action. It's been a long time since he had gotten into a proper fight.[/quote]

[color=7ea7d8]"Maybe let's set up an arena and find out."[/color], Alfred said with a quiet voice, the usual kind. [color=7ea7d8]"Though I'd prefer being able to transform into my uh… full form, if you know what I mean. Not exactly doable when there's a suppressor on my ankle. Heh. Though it's probably you, anyway. We've seen enough to know that."[/color]

Nope, Alfred didn't really think that. He was just telling Körbl what he thought he wanted to hear and eventually steer the discussion into something less of an ingredient for a prison brawl that might see his book and noodle privileges revoked.

[quote]So she stared back at him with eyes that seemed to flash with fiery light as she answered him, "Well I don't know about the strongest, but from my experience, most men do tend to burn up all the same." [/quote]

[color=7ea7d8]"Uh huh..."[/color], Alfred slowly nodded. [color=7ea7d8]"Out of curiosity, I must ask. How many have you... hmmm, incinerated? Mundanes, non-mundane, how much of each?"[/color]
