frustration , A HOT & UGLY THING , burns your up your throat like molten lead ———- you were sure you could taste the SMOKE OF ANGER on your tongue . teeth clench to the point of aching , biting back a vicious bark ———- THE REFUSAL YOU SO WISH TO GIVE . you are a soldier , A BLOOD HOUND , you were no ones babysitter .
still you swallow it down , those UNSPOKEN WORDS TASTING LIKE BILE . you have your orders & as the good soldier you are , you have a duty to follow them . IT IS YOUR ONLY PURPOSE IN LIFE .
❛ let’s get one thing straight , this is no kiddies playground ———- we do not have the time to babysit brats . keep them out of our way & i’ll along with this bullshit . ❜ deliberate steps taken you breach his personal space , your voice cold & AS UNFORGIVING AS ICE . ❛ but get in our way & i won’t be responsible for what happens . ❜
Blue eyes are cold as he listens to the response, pale lips pressed into a thin line. He doesn’t attempt to interrupt, doesn’t reveal his thoughts until after she finishes speaking.
Gaze drifts toward her face once more, cold and yet soft at the same time. The teen allows a moment before he speaks. “I understand your CONCERN. But I don’t think you’ll need to worry. These children are SPECIAL, you see; we’ve faced many threats of our own, threats not unlike those you face here.”
He’s quiet again, and breaks eye contact. “I simply want to KEEP THEM from the war if at all possible.”
Irritated, perhaps, but only a little. Such disdain was to be expected from adults, and hopefully he’ll be able to clear it up shortly.
“As for ME, though, you don’t need to take such precautions. I’ll work with you, and within the year we’ll find a way to END THIS.”
Is it far-fetched? He doesn’t think so. After all, he went from having no knowledge whatsoever of the Demons to knowing how to destroy them in a comparable amount of time. And now he has that experience here-- he could even estimate it to be less time, but he wants to keep the deadlines reasonable.
