Thread: True Calling (Atroxa x Effigy)

Lilura was on a mission today it seemed. Or now was on one seeing how Durihan so brazenly crossed the line from civil insults to whatever the hell was now being spat between the two. This little girl definitely had a cruelty inside of her that seemed to come out whenever possible. Sure there was that stern yet understanding Lady of the House that Lilura seemed to play so well... But it was just that, a play. You started to realize just how two faced people were when your life started to revolve around killing people. One moment they are tough, ready to spill your guts. But when you disarm them... When you have them on their knees with their necks exposed to you... It's shocking how quickly men will turn into groveling messes. Almost funny how Lilura had this effect without even drawing a sword. That glare that she had earned from Durihan didn't die down at all. The man's hand even curving down to grab hold of his arm rest in some attempt to control something. His grip tight as he sat there and took such abuse from a child. Every word made the idea of smacking some respect into Lilura all the more appealing. Though there was civility in this, it wasn't above Durihan to ask Lilura to leave his room. He had done it before and she complied. Though that was more from his exhaustion and not from his anger. Of course when she brought up the rumors of his disgrace, that would raise him from his chair in seconds. And what do you know of what lies in men's pants!? Durihan stated, almost shouting as he started to walk towards Lilura. Is this what you want, pull me from the forest. Expecting me to be grateful only to insult me and belittle me every chance you have?! Now he was shouting, obviously pushed over the edge by just the utterance of a rumor. Would you like it if I took you? With your fascinations of what I did?! The man stopped before Lilura, there was hate now portrayed across his face. Nostrils flaring, eyes a blaze with anger. But in all of this Lilura would actually get an answer. In his anger Durihan did say what I did. However before either of them could press the matter the door to Durihan's room would swing open. Galathe storming in with a large brown leather bound book under his arm. Completely unaware or even interested in what was going on before he entered, Galathe was quick to throw the book down onto the ground for Lilura to see. You dare bring this black magic back into your father's house!? I knew you were up to something going off at night like you do! How many more of these book are there? It took me only seconds to find this on your damn shelf! He shouted at her. Pointing down at the book. Surprisingly he came armed, his sword and knife hanging from his belt as he stood there in demand of answers. Did you learn nothing from your Mother? He asked her, with a hint of ache in his voice. Like discovering this was an act against himself. Why else would he allow Lilura to do what she did, sure she was quite stubborn and held sway over the castle, but what man could resist a young lady's smile. That promise in their eyes of what could be. Galathe had his fantasizes like any other man, but those were now tarnished by this sin.
