So you kill them first. I see no difficulty with that.

[THESE ARE NOT APPLES AND ORANGES, DORIAN. SERIOUSLY.]

[depicted]

So you think I could win against you in a fight?

[Things Dorian doesn't believe himself capable of: that.]

[emasculates]

[She gives him a calculating, predatory look. Head tilted, eyes attentive. He is small. Slight. How much is the reality of the thing, and how much his immortality? Do immortals have the luxury of calloused hands, rough scars? She has seen enough of his skin to think his complexion tantamount to a newborn.

But he has a wealth of experiences she herself does not have. Roque beat her, after all. Literally. She ached for weeks after. The man beat her and threw her from a plane just before take-off, and it was only Cougar's driving (there is a moment of... not sadness, then, but a slight tinge of regret) that saved her life.

Still. She was forged in war, has never known a dandy's life. Regardless, as she studies him she finds she does not have an answer for him.]

It would depend. Are you like to hesitate?

[depicted]

No.

[No hesitation even on the question. Dorian may be reckless and stupid, but he has a great sense of preservation when there truly is something at stake. If that means more blood on the portrait, so be it.]

[emasculates]

Then you would have a fair chance.

[A shrug.]

Do not give me a reason to want to see you bleed. I promise it is not difficult to accomplish.

That shouldn't be too difficult. [he says, dramatically overestimating himself??] I'm a very courteous prince. Some would even say charming. [Referring back to the beginning of the conversation and tossing in a joke about Sibyl? This is why certain ghosts want you dead.]

[emasculates]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Courtesy does not matter to me. Just avoid getting in my way.

[depicted]

I'm not sure what there is to get in the way of here. Is there a secret projects I should know about?

[emasculates]

[She lifts one shoulder in a shrug.]

None yet. But that does not preclude the possibility of something happening down the road.
