her voice was like a purr, meant to lure and coax the other into a sense of serenity – when, really, it was the calm before the storm. ‘ have i ever given you a reason to not trust me?‘ brows knit together as though the demon was genuinely searching for an answer. she feigned the innocence, and knew that she could play the role as his right hand if needed if it meant that her neck would be safe.
he wanted to deny the truth, to simply state that he wouldn’t out of pure spite, but instead, ky’lar did the much harder version of the choices he had before him. the demon sucked up his pride and said, ‘ no. ’ it was all that he could say for the time being, but for now, it would have to be enough.
at his last words, a perfectly arched brow raised in curiosity but also in partial disbelief. red brims pursed into a smile, and a foot clad in an equally red color pivoted. ‘you? have an offer for me? i do have expensive tastes, i sure hope you know that. ‘ her voice was soft, the same kind that her legend preceded her – she could send seamen to their deaths. ‘ i’m listening. ‘
he could handle expensive tastes. had been able to since he was a young child. however, she didn’t need to know that, and he wouldn’t bring it up. for now, as long as she listened, that would prove useful, ‘ i’m sure expensive tastes isn’t the only thing you’re interested in. ‘ he mused out lowly, ‘ i was hoping you’d be interested in having an all you can eat feast. ’
it was too early in the session for jax to believe that the demon would pipe up anything about their own boss. their own god. jax knew this like the back of his hand, but he felt as if he was being a good man – earning some humanity points back – by using breaks to pop the question. tell me where he is. ready to drop the dice on luci? give me locations.
and yet, at the answer, a muscle in jax’s jaw clenched and he exhaled a rather annoyed sigh through his nose. his knuckles didn’t ache yet, thanks to the tolerance build up from past experiences with demons. ‘alright. ‘ standing up straight, the ex army man curled his fingers to his palms and threw it against the demon’s jawline.
if he had been in a better mood, there was a high chance that ky’lar would have gave the other some more insightful information. maybe some false locations if he actually did feel the need to, but all the same, ky’lar didn’t want to give the man the benefit of the doubt.
at the impact of the other’s fist towards his jaw, the demon let out a low growl. it hurt, yes, but not as bad as what he had personally been through before. spiting some blood out of his mouth, ky’s head tilted towards the other for a few moments, ‘ is that all ya got? i didn’t feel a thing.’
she had to know. there were many days that ky had dreamed that this would happen. that they could fully be together, but reality was different. reality stated that it wouldn’t happen. all he could hope for was keeping her safe and that meant keeping his distance.
even as her lips stayed pressed firmly against his own , he knew there was a choice that had to be made, and it was one he dreaded. it couldn’t amount to anything between them. doing so would put the both of them in danger. yet, there was no harm in letting this play out.
a reason to why his lips stayed near her own. for now, he was going to let himself enjoy this moment, and worry about the rest at a later time. after-all, what she didn’t know couldn’t hurt her.
‘ that’s nice. ‘ camille confessed within a hum, a smile blossoming on her blush lips. there was a certain light within her optics as she peered towards ky’lar. if anyone knew about her harboring a demon within the walls of her apartment, she would be kicked out beyond the walls of eden. ‘ was a big cabin?‘
‘ would you like to see it? ‘ if there was a possible way for her to go there, ky’lar would have taken it. she deserved to see the world and not just the walls of eden. yet, at the same time, he wasn’t going to risk her safety. if other’s found out, they would both be in very real danger. the kind that she wouldn’t be able to get out of with out his direct interference, ‘ i’m sure it’s still there. ’
her gaze cast downward, suddenly unable to meet his gaze. he seemed so human to her, she often forgot. instead her palm enveloped warmth against the other as her touch became her source to lock her eyes onto. ‘ when you wanted the demons to take over, what did you expect you’d find?‘
‘ understanding. ‘ it was more that he wanted to know his place in everything. humanity was a disease in his mind back then. the only thing they were good for was vessels and even then…. he burned through a bunch of them just for kicks on a daily basis, ‘ i thought that if i proved myself… i would finally get the respect i wanted. instead, all i got was a world where i couldn’t have fun anymore. ”
instead of ruining the fabric of her very expensive jacket, the siren bent down to rip a strip off of her victim’s shirt to wipe the evidence of blood that ran like a river down along the corner of her lip and to her chin. ‘ if you walk away, i just might let you live. ‘ an empty threat at that, but ryan never wanted to get mixed with those who boiled from down under – especially him. she heard the name ky’lar through the grapevines, and she didn’t want to cross paths with him.
’ —- and what happens if i decide to stay? ‘ he knew that if it came to a fight, she would possibly would be a threat, but he was willing to put his own money that nothing would happen. ‘ you wouldn’t want to miss out on another meal, would ya? ’ he may have been many things, but he knew fully well that most would have enjoyed a free meal. ‘ i have an offer. ‘
‘ ky’lar, you can trust me. one hundred percent. ‘ last three words uttered with proper enunciation for added stress as if to make her point clearer. however, samantha knew that if shit hit the fan, she would make the ultimate move that would protect herself. @hellfirebound / sc
he wanted to trust her. he really did, but past experiences proved that it would be disastrous to do so. it didn’t matter what promises she could give him. the demon wasn’t about to put everything on the line for her words. not these days, ‘ you say that now, but we both know i can’t. maybe a while ago i could, but not now. trust just gets you killed or worse. ‘
