[coquetting]

[ Here is a sweet, smiling face, accented with deep red lips and framed with uneven layers of thick, dark hair. Atropa looks confident and almost friendly.

Almost. ]

You know, let's just calm down for a moment.

I'm happy that you like me. Of course you like me, how could you not? I'm the most interesting person I've ever met.

Except for the vampire, of course. The plans you have where he's concerned are very appealing, don't mistake me.

[ She tilts her head, lips thinning a little. Her violet eyes darken, creating a stark contrast against her pale skin. ]

But your plans for how it ends? That needs to change. Your promise of reincarnation means little when you intend my death to poison all that I believe in. I'll return, but I won't be the same.

You'll regret that. I'll make you regret that. You of all people should know not to underestimate me.

[ Suddenly, that cute little smile is back. ]

Do consider it, won't you?

Threats don't really mean much when you don't say what you'll do to make them regret that.

Thought you should know.

omg

[coquetting]

[ She stares at him.

So he looks...different. ]

Spelling it out would take away much of the mystery, Nikolai. We couldn't have that.

What are you wearing?

[draugur]

Some don't have creative imaginations.

They're called jeans. [ Mmm. ]

So you know you die, huh?

[coquetting]

And this is a public venue. We don't want to frighten the children.

[ And then the smirk disappears, and she eyes him uncertainly. ]

The signs are there. A short life to live, if I should fail. I always knew the risks, but the manner of it.

I was not expecting that.

[draugur]

Told you your mother was a bitch. [ Okay he said all faeries were but same thing. ]

I should have stopped you then.

[coquetting]

[ Her eyes darken, and she looks away. She doesn't contradict him, though, infuriatingly, she still feels like she should. ]

So you are there when it happens, are you? I should have expected that, I suppose.

My mother will do anything to enter your world. My mistake was in thinking I mattered to her. Much as it pains me to say it, I should have listened to you.

[draugur]

I should have made you listen. I should have listened myself.

[ Sighs. ] I won't make that mistake twice. If it's any consolation.

[coquetting]

[ She hesitates, looking at him.

Studying his face. ]

How long has it been, for you?

[draugur]

[ Rubs his jaw, trying to think. ]

A little over two centuries.

[coquetting]

[ Her eyes widen, just a little. That's far longer than she was expecting. She steps closer to him. ]

I...would have expected to return sooner. Sometimes it takes a while. A few generations, perhaps.

But two hundred years. No wonder you look different. You do not age...but your eyes are older, Nikolai.

[draugur]

[ He glances away as she steps closer. ]

A lot of things changed, Atropa.

[coquetting]

[ She frowns, but stops moving. ]

What happened to you?

[draugur]

What d you think happened?

I watched her rip your heart out. Literally.

[idkworldruler]

You know it's more than a little hard for you to harm your mun.

[coquetting]

Hmm. You give up quickly.

If a thing were easy, it would not be worth doing.

[idkworldruler]

No, I can do stuff...kind of.

Besides, this isn't about me. It's all about you.

[coquetting]

[ That makes her laugh. Oh, you're cute. ]

I think it's about whoever I like. Maybe you should be careful about revealing too much, hmm? People can pounce on that.

[idkworldruler]

Well now that's why I haven't told you anything, knowledge is power and all that. If you want to know more check out my wiki or Facebook.

[coquetting]

Well, actually I tend to find that power is power. Knowledge can help you along the way, but a musket can still kill even if you don't know how it works.

[ She thinks about that, smiling for a moment. ] Actually, you could say the exact same thing about me!

[idkworldruler]

Maybe, however you should only use a gunshot if there is no...alternative. Knowledge is still power, it is a currency.

I'm sorry, I was out of the country for the weekend!

[coquetting]

[ Her expression widens into a grin and she leans forward, chin resting on one hand. ]

I agree. Guns are lazy. There are far better ways to kill a man. You, though. You strike me as the peaceful type. Now where might you be from that you deal in knowledge as currency?

No worries!

[idkworldruler]

Guns and violence are not lazy, just too loud.

'Merica of course. Wrong question.

<3

[coquetting]

[ She tilts her head, watching him with idle curiosity.

She's heard of America. It's a very long way away. ]

Is it? I'm sorry. Interrogation was never my strong point. What should I ask you, then?

:3

[idkworldruler]

Well the right question obviously. I'll give you three tries plus a bonus round. It will be like Jeapordy, except it's not Jeapordy.

[coquetting]

You're sweet. You might even amuse me, I think. I don't say that about many humans; you should feel grateful.

[ She pauses for a moment, considering it, and twirls a strand of hair idly through her fingers. ]

Who are you?
