F5Fest Day 26. Foxglove, Lady Bone Demon & Sun Wukong
"Mhm… what kind of brew is this?"
"Foxglove," Sun Wukong answered casually, reaching for the teapot to pour himself another cup of tea. "You aren't allergic, are you?"
Normally, he wouldn't be so pleasant with the woman across from him. The Lady Bone Demon had done so much, much more than he could forgive. However, he needed her alive, for now. So, for now, he gave a gritted smile, more like the threat that smiles commonly were for monkeys.
Lady Bone Demon smiled back, amusement glinting in her eyes. She wasn't fooled. "I am not," she said coolly, lifting up her own cup to her lips. "But, it is an interesting thing to make tea out of." She took a long sip, as if to rub it in.
"It is. But, I like the kick the poison gives you."
She finished her sip. Lightly, she hummed, as if she was considering. "Ah, I see. You know what gives a kick as well?"
"A knife between the ribs?"
"Oh, no, nothing so crude. Freezing you until your skin can be flayed off in one piece is much more."
"…I hate you."
"I don't."
