at first he had thought it to be a damning upon himself. another plan forged by fools to keep his interests at bay, to cause him to writhe and suffer without the easy usage of his entire range of skills. but whilst it was inconvenient, he had not fallen upon his knees in desperation or loss. no no, when the mind is as sharp as that and the resolve burning oh so bright as this, one does not whimper at the loss of steel. “ opportunity, perhaps. “ he turned in such a way that only half of his visage captured the light; silver and black accented along his left side, the side which revealed the true majesty of his blade.
“ they arrive at their most vulnerable; weak, afraid, powerless. “ but he had not been quite so easy to deter. his mind was made and his purpose was solidified. in fact, the mere concept that such a thing could even occur, that somehow a mass theft was entirely possible, was what interested him further. “ i’m not so interested in why. not when the ‘how’ seems much more… curious. “ facing such a way, he could eye her with an interested glance; sea green gaze seeking to penetrate any secret he could discern. but she was an amused spectre, really, night doing little to conceal the unusual beauty that she was. but he cared not for aesthetics, nor even beauty he supposed. but it was power, and it seeped between her teeth as her words sung with entertainment.
“ and i wonder, is there a limit to their own ability to take. “
Relieved as she was to not be attacked while in this state, she was equally excited in how equally curious his gaze seemed. This man understood what she was getting at; he may prove useful to keep around. Of course, those that understood the seeking of power, they too often wanted it for themselves, and even if they didn’t...well, they’d try to keep it from her.
It was a dangerous line to tread.
“how? that is a curious thought indeed.” yes, if they did know of the how they could intercept weapons, possibly, steal them for their own....he wasn’t thinking quite on her page, however. And what need did he have to? a man who could wield a weapon that, as terribly lovely as it was, was simply so large to scale....he struck her as the type that would simply barrel through if necessary. While they were thinking as similarly as they were, maybe this man would be easy to keep under her thumb after all.
“would they leave us with nothing if they wanted to? or is this simply the meaning of a faulty system that cannot bring those that come in fully manifested? Truthfully, you know more of these mysterious powers that be than i do, here. A shame."
