Tentatively … voice testing? D:

[smirkingly]

Ah, ah, ah …

You think it wise?

[ And despite his initial chagrin, there’s a flicker of amusement in those dark eyes, lips curling into a smirk, revealing a flash of fang. ]

You might want to ... watch your step, shall we say? After all, as clichéd as it may sound — I’m different. Quite unlike that broken boy you seem to be so fond of these days.

[ Taking a moment to run the tip of his tongue deliberately over sharp teeth, he hums in thought. ]

The last thing you ought to be doing … is tempting me.

Oh hai there

[london_goth]

[Jesse has her nose in a book - nothing new for a Talamascan librarian such as herself]

Muns can pretty much do whatever they want.

[Let's see if he can deal with not being the center of attention for once]

sup? o/

[smirkingly]

Jesse.

[ For several moments, his gaze simply bores into hers. Whether or not, her appearance pleases him isn't entirely certain until he finaly allows a hint of a smile to grace his lips. ]

You sound as though you're speaking from experience.

chilling, you? \o

[london_goth]

[Jesse seems rather bored instead of impressed as her eyes remain on the book in her hands, scanning the pages]

Over Two years of experience, actually.

[You're just a baby vampire muse! Although she knows better then to say so]

Where does you mun typically pluck you from? The books or the movies? Perhaps a bit of both?

same, same. ;) gotta admit though, I was surrpised to see someone playing jesse here.

[smirkingly]

[ Moving a little closer now, mildly curious as to what she's reading. His sharp gaze catches a few select sentences and he dismisses it almost immediately; drivel. ]

My heart bleeds for you.

[ His tone is dry, absolutely devoid of sympathy. However the amusement in his eyes is unmistakable. He pauses at her next words, unsure. ]

It feels peculiar being asked that. The control is mine, not hers.

I rarely get to play her to be honest! Nice icon XD

[london_goth]

[The book she was reading could best be described as 'Vampires and other undead' Look all you want. Her taste hasn't changed much]

I think you'll find quite the opposite to be true, Lestat.

[Don't fight your mun. In fact, feign indifference if at all possible.

She snaps her book shut the moment she realizes he's peeking at the pages]

Stop peeking.

Yeah, these days you don't tend to see many ann rice characters around. And thank you!

[smirkingly]

[ There is no indication whether her response has caused him any displeasure. His expression doesn't change however, if she were to gaze into his eyes she'd feel as though she were gazing into a bottomless pit.

The amusement within them has vanished. ]

Really.

[ It wasn't spoken as a question, though. He inches closer, tone condescending, words purred out. ]

Ah, but you forget. Different rules apply to me. They always have.

[london_goth]

[He might not have openly shown his sudden change in mood, but Jesse knew him well enough that she could sense it. When he moved in closer, she edged back a couple steps. Suddenly quite meek]

If you want to maintain your illusion of control, so be it.

[moonlitsatin]

There's nothing wrong with temptation.

[smirkingly]

Of course not, for the majority. In my case, however ... I suppose it could prove to be quite problematic.

For the rest of the world, that is.

[moonlitsatin]

Why's that? Afraid they'll all burn because of you?

[smirkingly]

That would be one way, yes.

[moonlitsatin]

That's a pretty egotistical view you got there. I doubt they're all like that.

[smirkingly]

... You're not familiar with me, are you? You've yet to hear my name chanted.

I'll excuse you. Just this once.

[moonlitsatin]

It's just a speck of dust in the devil's eye; why would I bother with just the trends on earth.

[smirkingly]

It's fascinating. They're fascinating, in all their beauty and brutality.

You'd learn a thing or two, I'm sure.

[moonlitsatin]

I've learned a lot of things about them, but fascinating isn't a word I've used.

Although... they are fun.

[smirkingly]

Humankind are responsible for countless wars, polluting and destroying the planet, finding new and inventive ways to build weapons and yet, they are willing to die for one another. They remain hopeful even in times of great despair. They feel things we could never feel, let alone comprehend, so yes. I find them fascinating.

... Fun, too.

[moonlitsatin]

There's always worse things than humans in this reality. They have the capacity for grace and damnation within a single moment, but they aren't the worst that I've seen.

It's amazing what they can do though in what little time they've got.

[hateyouboth]

Warning someone away? They should be so lucky.

[smirkingly]

It's only fair ...

[hateyouboth]

You couldn't offer me the same? Or Louis?

[errersansbut]

Fair advice, I must admit. Though, you'll find it falls on deaf ears.

[smirkingly]

Oh, I don't know about that. Let's just say, I have a ... tendency to be heard, one way or another.

[errersansbut]

I'm well aware of your tendencies, Lestat.

♥

[presumptuously]

[ A smirk. Her voice is slightly chastising, but fond at the same time. ]

He won't listen to you, you know that, Louis.

♥!

[errersansbut]

Jessica. [ his lips curve into a pleased smile as he ducks his head, but just barely. ]

It seems to be my lot in life to play the part of the broken record.

have another Jesse! :3

[presumptuously]

If your mun were smart, she'd know that tempting you often leads to disastrous results.

[recitings]

Temptation. An invitation to something delightful or disastrous. Which one is it for you?

sorry for the delay! <3

[smirkingly]

I suppose in my case ... One is rarely far behind the other.

No problem XD I'm pretty slow, too.

[recitings]

[He chuckles, amused.]

I can say the same for myself when I am tempted.

apparently, this seems to be the norm these days

[smirkingly]

Ah ... a kindred spirit, then?

[ Interest piqued, now. ]

|Dc Haha. I guess it's a good thing?? Not sure.

[recitings]

Maybe.

[He smirks.]

What tempts you?
