The Winchester smiled, a forced bitter smile that didn’t reach his eyes. The demon’s words sounded like a threat, something the hunter was used to though. It didn’t bother him. What bothered him was the guy’s attitude, thinking he had power over him. That he got to chose his fate. The only power he truly had was his utility and that was the only reason why he wasn’t dead yet. He lifted his chin with a sardonic hum, taunting as he approached the other. There was defy in his proximity.
“How about you just focus on helping me and I won’t end you. I’m reaching you for this, it means I need you alive. Now and after. So, no, I’m not lying. As long as you get the key to what I want, you get to stay alive. Don’t get cocky, man, I don’t like working with your kind and if I lose my temper for a second, I might lose my key.” he was threatening. If there was something Dean Winchester didn’t have, was the fear of dying. Not anymore. And he wanted the demon to be very aware of that.
“—- and i don’t like your kind.” he should have held his tongue in check. that way, they could have moved forward with out any problems. then again, that wasn’t ky’s style. “so, now that it’s settled? let’s start with a quick ground rule, yes? if i think for a second that you’re going back on our deal… i’ll send you to a place not even angels can bring you back from.” it was more of a promise than a threat, but either way… he wasn’t going to push his luck more than he already had done.
more to the point it was also keeping him safe. the moment this was over with, ky would head back to a nice hotel room, and drink the night away. that way, everything would go smoothly for him after all. dealing hunters wasn’t his style… well, not usually at least, “got that?”
of course, he would end up stuck in a cell ( again ), but at the same time, ky knew he couldn’t just leave via his usual ways this time. if he did that, they would know the truth, and it was why he was attempting ( as best as possible ), to keep things as ‘normal’ as possible.
it was to that every reason, he leaned his head back against a wall; anything to keep him from just busting out of here during the first sign of opportunity. of course, having a new ‘cellmate’ wasn’t going to be good either — just his luck, he would have to ‘share’ a space with someone else.
The price was expected. Exactly what any monster would want. Immunity against the Winchesters. And Dean was willing to pay it, until he decided it was time to break it.
He lifted his chin, pursing his lips in a sarcastic smile, adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. There was anger in his dead gaze but he controlled the thirst to kill.
“Deal. Do it right and I won’t come for ya.” he knew it was a mutual distrust. The demon would keep an eye on him and he would keep an eye on the guy back. As long as he got what he wanted right now. That was all that mattered.
he expected the other to try to negotiate the terms; that was what most managed to do. even with his own personal contracts, everyone wanted something more than they had. it was, in most cases, easy to make sure that the deal was all in his favor, but it took negotiation — something that he expected to be done here.
since it wasn’t, that meant that they were doing this simply on original terms; something that he usually disliked, but then again, if it kept the winchesters off his back? well, he was going to take it — even if eventually it would turn out to be a terrible mistake.
“if i find out your lying,” he quickly said, “i will make sure you find yourself in the deepest pits of hell before you cay say… ‘sorry’, understand?” it wasn’t a threat, but rather a promise; he didn’t like getting played and he was willing to do whatever it took to prove that.
There was an emptiness in the hunter’s eyes that affirmed his secure tone. “Never said I wanted it cheap. Mark your price.”
“My price,” his lips formed into a thin-line, “is you never come after me. Not now, not ten years from now, and not even if i end up triggering the end of the world.” A pause, “ Or worse.”
