“Well I suppose I should start labeling my things–lest a two year old wander in and get confused.” he snarks but without much kick to it. Honestly he doesn’t really care that there was someone in his makeshift hideout snooping through his things. Because really, no one posed much of a threat to him.
Bloom watches dully as the stack of crates topples over, it collides with the ground and bursts open, an avalanche of his insidious seeds following.
“Sure you did.” he remarks dryly, the very epitome of apathetic, he even sighs.
Crawling from his perch and growing to a monstrous size as he went to meet the floor more easily, now at least clocking out around twelve feet tall, at least. Moving closer to reach one of the undamaged boxes among the mound of seeds.
“If you meant to be a nuisance, than you’ve done a fabulous job.” He lifts and places the crate elsewhere with surprisingly little effort before casting what you’d assume would be a glance in her direction, hard to tell with the flower and all, “Not sure you’ll like what I do with nuisances though.”
Well, she DOES aim to please. Fiendish flinger of knives, and things most toxic she may be, but one must always do their best to satisfy those silly little expectations in the work and character they put forward… Even if the situation in question is more than a tad ‘unexpected’.
That’s what she tells herself. That, and that it’s not at all ‘uncool’ to be startled by giant man-plant…Things. It’s not as if encounters like this are listed in the assassin’s job manual, after all; and with concern steadily flaring in her chest, River takes another tentative step back for each foot he stretches. Just how big was this guy, twelve feet? Thirteen? Could he continue to grow more?
She isn’t given the luxury to ruminate much on that thought though. Poor thing, it’s so hard to afford much attention to creepy seeds strewn across the floor like marbles, when there’s a guy filling the room like some kind of Hell-tree. Her back-slip onto the floor is as unceremonious as the box she’d knocked-over.
“Ehm…” Stupid mistake. River you idiot. Fingers twitch near one of the pockets on her utility belt, “Well I certainly hope it’s that you toss them a broom to sweep-up their little accident… It definitely occurs to me that I’m at the wrong warehouse, now.”
That’s probably the worst sting so far.
