Hera had the tendency to pick up conversations midstream of consciousness, her consciousness, that was. There were rarely introductions or explanations. One had to treat the whole thing like a childhood game of skipping rope and jump in wherever he saw an opening in the rhythm. Cinaed seemed pretty quick on the uptake and had a way with the particular breed of beast before him.
She huffed a lengthy stream of malevolence, letting his calm thin some of the fire rolling off her in a throbbing pulse. How did he never blow his top? It could be as exasperating as it was helpful. He was always cool, even when he wasn’t. The guy was control. Kind of the Yang to her Yin or however that crap worked. She didn’t really spend a lot of time pondering the intricacies of her interpersonal and business relationships. Hera leaned, no, she tilted full force in the direction of action and would choose it over deep thought every time.
Case in point, her object.
"Approval? You're pretty, honey, but I'm sure a boy like you's got a pet for that shit." She sucked a final, deep drag and looked around for someplace to out the skinny cigarette as she went on. "Not that I don't have a little room in my schedule for a solid game of 'Daddy's kitten,' but maybe that's why I'm here."
"I've got a uh, an issue with a lover; a lover's lover actually," her narrowing eyes shown like pale green jewels somehow more alive despite the shade of lashes. "Okay, he's not a lover, he's the lover. I do what I do on my own time, but I'm his and he's mine. I don't give a fuck who he rides, but I'm number one. I'm always number one, you gettin' me?"
She sat on the corner of Cinaed's desk, just a tad bit of cheek leaning on a couple square inches, and crossed one stem over the other, which was outstretched. "Now, there's a little issue of a dry, homely doll he's got himself worked up over; a bit of an obsession, if you ask me. It's her blood. She shares his blood. Her father stole it and for some reason it matters to him though who cares why? The point is that I'm splitting my pie with too many as it is. I'm not about to hand my position over to a glutton because Papi's deluded himself into thinking a little blood sack might make a nice queen. See, right now she's nifty play thing and that's all fine and good, but he's fixated and that doesn't work for me."
"I want her gone but he's... that's not an option right now. But there's more than one way to skin a cat. I can't touch her body, but he didn't say shit about unraveling her head."
The woman's tiny voice lowered along with her chin so that she was looking up at MacMhaolain darkly beneath a fringe of lacy black lashes and growling from deep in her throat. "I want every living thing she has ever loved; every relation, distant or close, every friend, every lover; I wanna know who she dog sat for in the sixth grade. And when I find them I am going to slaughter each of them, one by one, until she understands that it's me. It will always be me. And it would be better to be dead than to try'n take my place."
The pixie-looking vamp's tenor returned abruptly to its breezy, conversational attitude, "I want you to find them. You've got the resources; you deal in flesh. Find them all. Track them down however you can and in return I will be at your call for those times when you require the subtlety of a woman's touch to handle those unfortunates with whom you no longer wish to associate." Her manicure became interesting for a handful of seconds then looked up, her eyes alone sliding to meet his. "A man of certain power doesn't get to stay at the top without a few thorns he wouldn't mind seeing removed discreetly."
