His lips quirk just slightly and not in the pathetic ‘You belong in a nut-bin’ kind of way he might be used to. He seemed amused more than anything else. How difficult. To see the dead when one didn’t want to. To have spirits selfishly invade one’s life at random intervals.
“My mother died giving birth to me. Later, as a spirit, she tried to kill me.” He admitted freely, though without any semblance of emotion. He felt nothing for her and she had never been a mother to him. They might as well be talking about the weather. That was precisely how causal he addressed the subject.
Without another word, he disappeared from Klaus’s sight and reappeared a split second later behind him. It happened so fast that he had to tap him on the shoulder, that smug little smile still in place. For now, he thought it best he remain playful. Working up to the whole antichrist bit could take awhile.
“Transmutation. A fancy word for teleportation.”
Forget skeletons ; this conversation has swiftly grown rife with bombshells.
Lips barely have time to part in response to the first series of revelations — and, oh, a response was forthcoming, because what ? Okay, mother lost in childbirth, that sucks, but it’s a palatable one, something he wouldn’t have blinked at ; doesn’t have much room for shock, does he, coming from the background he does. But — murder attempt, less so. Murder attempt courtesy of said deceased mother, much less so.
Regardless, whatever startled return he’d planned on producing tapers off before it can begin, and as he whirls to follow the direction of the tap at his shoulder, mouth snaps shut once more — opens — shuts a second time. Finally, voice catches up to speed, and he can do what he does best : buy himself time to process with as much nonchalance as he can muster.
❛ Okay. Wow. That’s — I mean, if we were competing, I think your, uh, your thing wins out. Points for demonstration and all. Y’know, I had a brother who could do that. Hey, you’re not one of the other kids, are you ? Born October first, mom hadn’t been pregnant, that whole deal ? Dad did say there were more of us. ‘Cause if that’s not what this is, feel free to fill me in. Any time, no pressure ! But also, like, now would be awesome. ❜
