Snakes
[2012/03/21 12:00] Sage glanced at him and looked rather surprised. “Do I know you?”, she spoke with a certain distance to it. She had met some strange men in her life, but this one.. there was something to him, yet she didnt recognise him. Her eyes wandered over him, he wouldnt be able to see her facial expression anyway.
[2012/03/21 12:02] Melchior chuckles darkly when she replied “Should I be offended not to be recognized by my own family.” he replied with a hint of sarcasm. “Not that I can say I am very pleased with my father … still … the fact he has not told you about me … I am hurt.” he feigned to be struck in the heart.
[2012/03/21 12:04] Sage : Alright, this broke her brain a little. “Family, your father”. What the hell. The sarcasm didnt escape her and only made her more wary. Her mind raced into all kind of directions while she tried to find features that would clear things up. Brazenly she stepped forward, pretty much invading his personal space, but she was good at that and narrowed her eyes. “Well do enlighten me then?”
[2012/03/21 12:06] Melchior was very much aware of his personal space and with it he gripped her by her wrist if he was able. “Oh I am sure you know him very well. I even guess that your dress how expensive it might be. Is paid for by him. Severus … I am sure you know the man.” he whispered to her ear “I am told I got much of his genes .. so better watch it woman … ” he slithered his whispers to her ears.
[2012/03/21 12:16] Sage : Of course he was able to grab her by the wrist and she didnt even attempt to get away from him. The distance suited her just fine, so did the public place they were in. “I do huh”, one brow raised at the comment upon her dress and momentarily a faltering of her breath. It was so short he might not even have noticed .”Well well well, so the serpent grew a second head. How charming” Sarcasm was dripping in response to his whispering. An indignant little grin was given at the comment of his genes. “I come from the same fucked up family as you do, what makes you think Im not every bit of a koskinen as you are.. so what does that make you?.. my little cousin?” The affected tone of voice portrayed all her arrogance. “Dear uncle Severus hasnt paid my dress if that is what you think. I have my own little enterprises”
[2012/03/21 12:19] Melchior pulled her closer and his grip was more forceful. Nothing escaped him, simply because he was a killer and perhaps gifted with the genes he had spoken off. “I would watch your tongue woman. It wouldn’t be a first that a Koskinen would turn a woman to her knees simply to teach her a lesson.” it seemed he wasn’t quite in the mindset as she when it came to family. “Do you now … from what I have learned you were broke and without any means when you searched for him in Laura.” he chuckles “Much must have happened since than … hmmm ….”he suggested perhaps a lot – but left most unsaid.
[2012/03/21 12:26] Sage : Oh yes, a lot had happened since then. Aside of the misery on mutliple levels, both under guardianship of Severus and the time after that, it had only been relatively recently she had managed to pull her life back together again. She took in a deep breath, held her head up high nor did she avert her eyes. “Would you do that, turn me on my knees, your very own cousin, companion to the Chief Physician. Mm?” She shook her head and ran her tongue over her bottom lip while her mind worked over time. “Much has happened indeed”. Sage’s cunning and manipulative dealngs in Port Cos had gained her quite a bit. “I actually received quite an interesting inheritance. What about you?.. did you get something too?”, she grinned. And not only that she was even blackmailing her own companion. “I think you underestimate me, my dear cousin”.
[2012/03/21 12:29] Melchior arched a brow at the companion “Really … I didn’t think he fancied women.” he said and his voice dripped of venom “Perhaps for the best, for he might just do with you … as the frigid women you pose to be. How excellent we are gifted with portraying something we are not.” he again chuckled “I am not known to underestimate anyone, cousin. Far from it to be honest. But I know a snake if I see one.”
[2012/03/21 12:36] Sage : She rolled her eyes as if she didnt know, it was exactly the reason why she was blackmailing Micah. She felt more than betrayed and had decided to have a little affair of her own with the Perfumer. Quite a pleasant man. “Ah well, guess you just need to know what buttons to push when it comes to companions who seem to have a preference for other men. Not everything is what it seems to be.” She laughed at his comment on being a frigid woman, or rather not. “Whats to gain on being frigid, you tell me that? I am not pretending that I am one, sue me”, She winked and gave him a smile for a change. Not that he could do anything about it. She was walking a fine line here, but actually enjoying herself. “Well that makes two of us then, snakes all over the place it seems. Yeah wow, he has a son”, she laughed out loud now. “A damned son, you have got to be kidding me”
[2012/03/21 12:40] Melchior chuckled – but there was some deviousness to it “Yes a son and please don’t ever think that the woman Jessy had anything to do with it.” he still had some pride left. “But prey – tell me – how you got away from my fathers web, hmmm … He never struck me as the type that would simply let his eyes or observations slib clearly not with women. Often they are impredictable and hardly consistent.” he couldn’t see her wink – or simply ignored it. “I guess men of his caste do such without the fanfare hmm … so where is the one that is watching you hmmmm ?” he asks – keeping his disguise in full. It was why he was so damned honest now. The truth of his name and origin was one that might be somewhere on paper and claiming it now would be best to even take this – little incident – with it.
[2012/03/21 12:46] Sage : Actually the comment about Jessy amused her to no end. God, how much she had hated the woman. “Well thank the Priest Kings she is not your mother, that would have been a total disaster. Actually you just scored some brownie points on that one” .. she needed a moment to get her wit back under control and locked her eyes with his. “Your father’s web, maybe he is slacking?” she canted her head. “Old age?” Her head straight again. “Or maybe I was cunning enough to escape his attention. Well only briefly I guess given the fact I so pleasantly just walked into his son. Do you tattle a lot? Or is there a price for you to keep your mouth shut?”. She turned as dark and devious as he just did. Of course she didnt know who she had in front of her. “I have no clue where he is, and I like to keep it that way.
[2012/03/21 12:50] Melchior again pulled her to him – she would feel his strength “oh don’t play to coy, cousin. I am not in his web and truth to be told I am as surprised to see any relatives here. I kinda liked to have none around.” he glanced about himself – keeping his disguise so full – as if he suspected any there to spy on her “Who is underestimating who again hmmm …. ” he said to the comments about his father. “He denounced all attachments I consider myself one of those … but for some reason he had this thing with women … I doubt he truly let his fangs out of you.” he chuckles and now released her – perhaps even discarding her as if she meant nothing “As to my silence … I can’t exactly brag about a father that was removed all ties and became one of those dreaded Assassins.” oh – hell – he could lie – deceive – and even make it believable too.
[2012/03/21 12:56] Sage : There was a reason to the fact she had made her way out of Port Cos, it wasnt just her companionship. Actually that had come at a rather convenient regardless of how twisted the relationship between her and Micah was. There were others involved, others who knew far too much and things just simply had become way too heated to stay there. She had hoped to disappear in a big city like Ar, but it was just her luck to walk into Melchior. She felt his warmth radiating upon her, trembled out of annoyance, pent up anger. “His poisonous fangs will be pulled out some day, and when it happens Ill be standing there to cheer”. She too had been urged to keep her mouth shut, being threatened by having her tongue cut out, but that now was exactly the very problem. Despite all her manipulative traits, the lying and deceiving..something that apparently ran in the family, she had somehow managed to get herself up to her neck into trouble.
[2012/03/21 12:59] Melchior chuckles crossing his arms before him “Cheering … for some reason that doesn’t quite sound as fitting.” he replied with some humour. “Does he know you are here, cousin … or is it … a place to hide hmm ?” he asks – showing curiosity while he in fact didn’t really get cold or warm by whatever she would answer.
[2012/03/21 13:02] Sage : “well obviously not, like I said, id like to keep it that way” Her eyes bored into him, a threat there. “I dont care what you think or do, other than that I expect you to keep your mouth shut. I like to keep his fangs out of me for while. Don think you can toy with me that easily”
[2012/03/21 13:03] Melchior laughs now “Who is the one that has some … how shall we call them … demands as to what I should or shouldn’t do. I don’t see you holding a leash … ” he replied “What makes you think you can demand anything from me … Cousin ?” he asks clearly amused.
