She considered, rather meanly, making a violent joke. Something along the lines of “shall we test it?” whilst giving the poor man a look that proved what she really meant (”on you”). It was a passing moment abandoned to the side. The consideration was only due in part to his reaction toward her and not out of a legitimate wish to do him harm—his discomfort fed her more than a full banquet did.
But Loki liked him and, therefore, Vasilija did, too. The gift helped, though. Lifting the dagger again, she used the pad of her left index finger to delicately prod at the blade’s perfectly edged sides. It would slice through flesh like butter, she thought as that finger reached the threatening point of the weapon. She prodded it and pulled her hand away to inspect the droplet of blood that now marred the pale flesh of her fingertip. For a long second, Vasilija inspected her own blood. Her fascination with it equal to a child’s interest in bugs. A sort of wonderment. A curiosity. Sated, she drew the finger toward her tongue and licked the blood off.
“I would say so,” she cooed. “Where did you get this?”
NERVOUSNESS begins to dissipate the longer Magni stands within her presence ( though he knows the possibility of threat looms just on the outer edges of their conversation -- he is no fool ). Though it pleases greatly, to see that she ACCEPTS the blade with much more than disgruntled acceptance ( as was his fear ). HONEYED-HUES watch the inspection of the weapon, rays of the sun glistening upon the blade to match the SPARKLE of her eye. A single brow quirks as CRIMSON wets the crevasses of her palm, and bottom lip is taken between his teeth ( he should have expected this, as it were -- and surely there were plenty of deities who longed for the offering of blood. though he was not among them ). A clearing of throat rattles though his sternum, light SHRUG coming in response, ❝ -- many places. The blade forged by a Celt I hold dear. The handle, whittled somewhere in IRELAND. I lose track of places, their names. I hope it will be USEFUL to you. ❞
