.]Started from the top now we're here.
" I see… What a shame. "
The decline to his invitation left a bitter, tobacco filled taste in his mouth. That or the cigar who knows. Crocodile kept his poker face up, no matter what. The less she could read the better, he was already having it up to here with her smug way of talking. The wooden hook started to rattle in his arm.
Giving out how he was dampen by the scientists? For free? To someone who wasn’t even gonna work for him? No, Crocodile had no intention for such chit-chats that might as well damage him in the future.
" … That’s none of your business of what they done to me. Such information is restricted to business acquaintances only. " He replied in a bitter tone.
He slowly walked towards her. Staring the woman down, only dropping contact as soon as he passed her. Stopping as she was right behind him.
" I believe our business is done here. If you’re not working for me you’re working against me. I need to set things into work if I want things done in this place.
I do not believe this will be our last meeting, Miss All Weekend. But next time, depending on the situation, I might not be as merciful as I was today. “
Maybe he was getting soft after all. But for every action to not kill Robin he had made a reason for. There simply wasn’t a reason to kill her over not killing her as things were this very moment.
Robin crossed one arm across her abdomen and leant the other arm up against her chin in thought. She remained silent for a short while, It was still all business with this fellow, and despite her teasing, she couldn't seem to break his composure. Still, it was worth a try. She just wanted to see him squirm a little.
"Well I'm sure however powerful you still are, you're strong enough to kill me, yes? I'd better tread carefully then. I'm sure it's quite terrifying indeed." She definitely wasn't treading carefully at the moment, and she certainly didn't look terrified with that smug look on her face.
"So you plan to make an enemy of everybody who isn't under you? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Nonetheless, you can expect me to stay out of your hair for a short while yet. I have much more important things to investigate right now. This city has intrigued me." Yes, for a prison, this place was surprisingly open and... Not-oppressive. It may not have been archaeology exactly, but the architecture of this place fascinated her. She needed to learn more.
"So you see one familiar face, make a business proposition, and then stagger off? Well, hopefully we won't get in one another's ways in the close future then. Good luck Mister Zero." The way she said it, the word Zero sounded much less cool than it was supposed to. Yet another subtle poke at his ego probably.
