“ …. when you say it like that, it sounds lazy.” she laughs lightly, sighing quietly as she leaned into his touch. she shouldn’t have let herself get so relaxed around him, she knew that, but it was hard. staying vigilant all the time when she’d been given no reason to. regardless, she opens her eyes a moment later, laughing lightly as she leans to kiss his cheek. “i don’t have an argument with that though, so …”
he grinned at the kiss. he’d never hurt her – not like this. as much as he would have enjoyed to do so… it wasn’t worth it. she wasn’t a threat, nor was she anything that could ruin his plans – in-fact, keeping her alive could help them. still, he kept scratching her scalp as he shifted himself slightly . “well, we can be lazy together than, huh?”
“well, i wasn’t arguing THAT point.” he would rather not be worth the time and not wind up dead, the alternative was rather grim. but marcus was starting to think that he wasn’t going to be attacked after all. “well, you’re not MY type either, you might just be ALL LOOKS. and few words.” he smirked.
“an’ you might be all ARROGANCE with no backbone to back it up.” an assumption, simple as that as he made his way forward. “i’ve never enjoyed your kind anyways – always seeing what should be hidden. you might just end up DEAD due to it.”
“i just meant that i’d have assumed you’d be used to a little more heat.” she quickly bites back a smirk, shaking her head a moment later. “god, you’re dramatic. do you want me to turn the air on, or something?”
“just because i can stand temperatures far up into the hotter than volcanic rock range means nothing.” he shook his head for a few moments. “look, i’ll be fine – i stay on earth too long and i start enjoying the coldness of it all.” it was more than that – he just just enjoyed freezing temperatures… it was something he never could get back home.
“ – you’re kidding. what are you, a furnace?” eyebrows knit. she’d laugh if he didn’t sound so serious. and it’s not that she minds, but SHE feels like she needs a blanket already. “i thought hell was supposed to be HOT ….”
“i just like temperatures close to freezing.” or below it rather – he’d actually enjoy being where it was far below zero that it seemed impossible to get warm. “hell might be hot, but earth isn’t, liv. if all else fails? i’ll find a glacier to sleep on tonight.”
“ —– Ky, it’s only 60 degrees out, you have GOT to be cold without a shirt on, it’s not like the house isn’t drafty enough …”
“ i’m too HOT.” ky would have enjoyed it to be CLOSER to freezing, but he couldn’t have EVERYTHING he wanted. “ an’ putting a shirt back on will feel like i’m BAKING.”
it’s a little bit of both actually; words hold power. so, he does trust the words of an individual / person.
however, at the same time, words can be broken easily, and be must trust on the acts of a person / what they do to prove themselves.
the problem is, he would enjoy preferring to 100% trust just the words of someone, but as he’s learned in the past… you have to rely more on a person’s actions than words. since, while words do have power – they can create and become a symbol – they also are meaningless with out actions to back them up / support them.
