While the query caught the wraith off guard, his person showed no attempt at wavering. Plumes of harsh, black smoke settled themselves back in place, rematerialzing as flesh and bone as they had done thousands of times over. This man was ruining his routine, and the Reaper did not appreciate the break in order.
❝That implies you know what a monster looks like❞
He knew little of his opponent, letting his hands fall idle as he took an ounce of time to force his decisions to manifest. His vocal cords awoke once again with a booming voice, resonating more with a smoker or a demon than your average Joe.
❝You seem to fit the mold well, wouldn’t you say?❞
the hand can’t help the little snicker at how the other words himself. yes, it was exactly what he implied: he himself a monster, he could recognize another for what they were. faithful great axe by his side (though not lifted, no, there is no deadly intent on his side for now---this is just a courteous talk), he watches the wraith in utter silence as he speaks. then shakes his head.
“i fit the mold. that is exactly why i said so.”
his own voice keeps to the growl of the wolf regardless of how techmaturgy altered him. glowing green eyes upon the stranger, he falls silent once, for a simple moment, more before speaking up once again.
“not so much of an offense when you recognize it yourself.”
