"given your history, i should've known better

That comment earned a snicker from the vampiric male, breathy as it was from lack of... well, anything to drink really. He sat with his back to some of the iron bars, legs stretched out and crossed over one another.

"Yes, you probably should have. I'm the tricksy one, remember?" Etienne said, eyeing Huo cautiously through the bars. While his body language remained loose and relaxed, every ounce of his being felt wound up and taught, ready to pounce the second he let his guard down if she got too close.

Not a battle he had missed.

"...Is there anything you actually needed, Huo? Or are you simply here to enjoy my slow starvation?"

“are you expecting me to beg for my life now?”

“Ehh, stop talking.”

Etienne spoke, wiping the blood from his lips with the back of his sleeve. His crimson gaze flickered to where the blood had began to bubble on the puncture wounds in Winona’s neck, a sinister smile gracing his features at the sight.

“You know, I’ve lived several Elven lifetimes… the begging and the crying gets so old so fast. And then you get the brave ones, the angry ones, the ones who completely disassociate…” he sighed, leaning back from Winona. He’d told her to stay put as part of his vampiric charm, leaving her stuck and unable to leave to go see her party.

“Nothing interests me anymore. That’s the problem…” he said quietly, shifting forward again as he opened his arms and proceeded to engulf Winona in a loose embrace. He rested his chin on her shoulder, next to where he’d just bitten her. “But you. You do the trick for now.”
