[There's a sense of deja vu in the air as Mads ventures out into the Keep. Since being outed, he's kept to himself and for the most part, ignored the journal. Unless Anna's got something to say. Don't look at me like that. The man's gotta have a hobby ( Read more... )

moderately distorted, !commentlog, devil take the hindmost, what is elusive and deceptive, they say i was the abomination, pretty boy swag, you just gonna keep on hating me, !open, we just gonna be enemies, deceptive air of simplicity, in the night i hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told

[Anna was just leaving the chapel - she didn't know why she had gone there, it wasn't as if the place had given her any kind of particular solitude or reassurance. It had been lonely and eerie, and Anna hadn't stayed long.

It was on her way out that she saw him and her eyes narrowed and hands balled into fists.

Just keep walking. No need for a confrontation today.]

but_why_u_mad October 12 2011, 22:26:47 UTC

[Mads, however, isn't about to let her pass by without a greeting. The opportunity was far too perfect. But he's not going to push his luck. There are no bodyguards here.]

Bonjour, Anna.

tigressina October 13 2011, 13:01:28 UTC

[She pauses only slightly, lips tightening and thinning into a grim line.]

Bonjour.

[The word is forced out through tightly clenched teeth, and Anna continues to walk, fully intending on passing the man by.]

but_why_u_mad October 13 2011, 21:00:19 UTC

Do not look so grim.

[He has to stop himself from calling her my love. He smiles, despite her coldness.]

Today is Sunday.

[Every time she sees him, or hears him, Anna is reminded over and over that she is capable of utter hatred for another human being.

That she even allows herself to call him that is still surprising.]

I am well aware of the day of the week.

[She makes to move past him.]

but_why_u_mad October 14 2011, 02:06:41 UTC

Are you?

[Well then, he plucks a flower from somewhere nearby and offers it to her.]

They are much more expensive back home, yes? But still lovely. Please take it, so that my ah, tradition does not go ignored.

tigressina October 14 2011, 02:40:54 UTC

...Yes.

[She isn't STUPID, Mads. She knows what day of the week it is.]

...No. [She makes no move to take the flower, eyes burning with a deep seated rage.]

What tradition.

but_why_u_mad October 14 2011, 02:59:43 UTC

[He says nothing. Her refusal of his flower isn't entirely unexpected. Still. He's indignant. He's trying to be nice here. No he isn't]

Your mother isn't nearly so ungrateful.

[Shrug. Now its his turn to walk away.]

tigressina October 14 2011, 03:06:41 UTC

[She would have walked away.

She really would have.

But then he said that.

It's with a snarl that was half human half...something else that she lunges at him, jerking him back by the collar and slamming him against the wall of the chapel.]

...Explain that.

[There are no drugs here, Mads. The Keep might nerf her strength and her shifting abilities, but she can still kill you.]

but_why_u_mad October 14 2011, 03:22:08 UTC

[Mads is very well aware he's...grabbing the tiger by the tail. So to speak. He grunts when she slams his back into the wall. A lot of power in such a petite woman. He can feel the beast in her head stirring. Dear me, this is not looking good. But...well he just can't seem to help himself.]

Is it really so terrible, amour? She is lonely, after all. With her only child gone, someone must look after her.

tigressina October 14 2011, 03:53:22 UTC

[Her eyes are narrowed, and her pupils are slowly beginning to shift to slits.]

Look. After. Her.

[He knew her mother. Of her mother.]

You are lying.

[Was he?]

but_why_u_mad October 14 2011, 04:05:37 UTC

Why would I lie? Why would I have you pin me to a wall for a lie? Hardly seems worth it.

tigressina October 14 2011, 04:18:52 UTC

[Anna refused to believe anything he said.]

You do not even know what you speak of.

[He hadn't said anything concrete, anyway.

She gave him a shove, and let go.]

but_why_u_mad October 14 2011, 04:33:48 UTC

[Mads simply chuckles. Anna has no real idea the kind of power he had back home, does she? Hm. Let him just rattle off a few personal facts. Facts he shouldn't know...unless he's read her mind met her mother and talked with her at great length.]

But you are right. I know nothing.

[Because NOW he's really pushing it and its best to get the hell out of dodge.]

tigressina October 15 2011, 01:43:59 UTC

[And that's about the time when Anna realizes that he isn't bluffing. He knows things about her - about her mother, where her family lived.

He knew things that he could never, ever have possibly known unless he'd met the woman.]

You bastard!

[And he's back against the wall again, and Anna is...on the edge between sanity and completely losing it.

A nudge is all it'd take, really.]

but_why_u_mad October 15 2011, 02:33:31 UTC

[He's not bluffing! He does know things about her. But he's never actually met her mother. Not face-to-face, anyway. Anna just isn't considering all the possibilities. But Mads will never tell. Not voluntarily anyway.]

You flatter me, mon amour.

[Is that enough of a nudge?]
