Voice Test - Canon is Sleepy Hollow

[pickitywitch]

I cannot say I enjoy your humor as much as you do. [She motions at the username vaguely.] I fear many will take the word "witch" poorly and you know I have never harmed anyone. Convincing Ichabod was difficult enough; must I now convince beings from different worlds?

You ask too much of me.

[pickitywitch]

My Mun. She chose an interesting name for me.

One should be true to themselves.

[solifugae]

[ What is oneself, their linage? It's an abstract expression, but he understands her meaning well enough. ]

Trouble is candor carries a price. If I were true to myself you would wish to run. Like you I have secrets.

[pickitywitch]

Everyone has secrets. Some of them are innocent and others are not.

[She won't hold it against him prematurely.]

[solifugae]

Why don't I tell you?

[ It's only courteous that's he's forthright with her in return. The man steps forward, a little closer than necessary. He leans and the crest of his forehead touches hers. ]

I'm someone who drinks blood.

[pickitywitch]

If you deem it -

[Her eyes widen and she freezes, looking confused. Her hands ball in her skirt as she thinks quickly.]

Does my blood appeal...? I would rather it didn't.

[solifugae]

[ He lifts a hand and ushers a lock of hair from her temple. His expression hard to parse until he smiles. ]

It appeals very much.

[ His hand falls, though he remains in her sphere. ]

But I can subdue my desires.

[pickitywitch]

[She isn't one to jump to conclusions - not anymore. Things are always more complicated than they seem and even the most trusted can prove to be deadly enemies. It might seem strange that she doesn't run, but she has grown braver since encountering the Horseman and her step-mother.]

Is it the only thing you can drink? It must be difficult for you.

[solifugae]

[ She stays because she can run. Her mind would be set had he deprived her of that option. The question has the young man smile and slowly shake his head ]

It's not hard at all. You see overpowering people is easier than holding on to them. That's much more complicated.

[pickitywitch]

[His answer earns a step back and she grabs the star pendant resting against her chest.]

So you have chosen to be lazy about it.

[solifugae]

[ She may speculate on his moral standing but his history is unknown to her. ]

You assume I find the former preferable, yet you stand unharmed.

[pickitywitch]

The future is nothing if not change. [She steadies herself.] I have seen a being of darkness slay before and I never imagined he existed.
