a scoff elicits & an incredulous look flashes across blood-splattered features. the blood is still fresh upon his dagger that hangs at his side, a fresh body at his feet. "what did i do?" the dramatic response begins, a hand pressing against his chest before shaking his head to dismiss the notion that this was his fault. it certainly wasn't— it was self - defense. well, it would have been self defense had the wretched man known that he was standing before the one he was hunting. perhaps these monster hunters should talk less & stab more. they'd find themselves far less dead.
"i was merely enjoying a walk when this beast of a man attacked me." his foot nudges into the side of the corpse, features pinching with disgust before he shrugs. a smirk tugs at his lips & his gaze lifts to her. "only fair that i take his life." the hunger twists & gnaws somewhere deep within his gut, a nasty thing. the smell of blood all but consumes him. rather than bring the blade to his lips, he shakes off excess blood & stows it away. he shifts on his feet & eyes her curiously after. a hand lingering on the hilt of his blade. "are we going to have a problem, darling? i'd really hate to pierce that pretty little heart of yours, but i'm not entirely above it should the need arise."
