Thread: Demonizing an Angel *(Silvana | Areawin)

Wisdom comes with age. While I'm not young by human standards, that isn't what led me to figure it out. He played with more smoke in his mouth, rolling his tongue around as it seeped through his lips. Cigars weren't meant for inhaling specifically for tasting the smoke and enjoying it. It amused him when young men smoked them for the first time, thinking it was something that they inhale deeply, and then watching them become physically ill afterwards. It's not that I'm trying to tie you down here. I'm just curious as to why you came this way. He wanted to toy with her some more, but figured it was in his best interest to start getting to the point. Think of it as... territory. Someone comes onto your land. They weren't paying very much attention when they did, otherwise they wouldn't be there. Let's say you were intrigued by said person. Would you let them leave, with power over them? Of course you wouldn't. More smoke rolled past his lips. I feed much like you, in a way. Not through the same means, but through emotions. You're a bomb waiting to go off a firecracker that's been lit and is reaching the powder. Everything about you screams a means of nutrition for me... but what fascinates me most, Mina-- he paused, leaning forward toward her. Is how a succubus has as much power as you. I've come across hundreds, perhaps even more, and they weren't a fraction of what you have. And with that power, you're going from club to club for entertainment. Can you see why I'm so intrigued by you? He could tell how frustrated she was, and it seemed as though this sort of thing didn't happen often. Perhaps he shouldn't give her too much hell about it... but this was proving to be too much fun. Even now, he was winning. She still could have left and just ignored the pay. It didn't look as if she were hurting for money. Yet here she was, sitting in front of him, as he spoke. ----------------- Silennia stared up at the statue for a few more moments when Keiran explained what it was. The term seemed familiar, but her mind was too hazy to ask any further questions. Shaking her head and smiling wider when he had nothing to say about what she said. Typically, such a thing would have never come from her mouth, but the alcohol seemed to have turned her into quite the talker tonight. Korina was usually the one who said these things, later becoming embarrassing about them. Silennia was always reserved and quiet, only speaking and laughing when appropriate. The apartment was too far to walk, so she hailed a cab and slid in close to Keiran, thankful for the heat inside the car. With late-night traffic, it took nearly ten minutes for the driver to arrive in front of the complex, and by that point Silennia was nearly asleep. She sighed and yawned, tugging a few bills from the envelope in her purse to hand to the driver. She slid her key-card in, entered a pin, then a second pin before a buzzing noise sounded. The door to the building opened. Before stepping inside, she turned to peek at the thermometer reading 18 degrees. Christ it's cold, she muttered. They had to exit the main building to go up one flight of outdoor stairs, then one flight of indoor stairs. Her key didn't want to work, nearly breaking it in the lock, but it finally let go pushing the door open with her left hand. Her right immediately went toward a switch on the wall, flipping it up... but nothing happened. She paused, flipping it down then back up again. Still nothing. What the hell? The raven-haired woman suddenly realized how cold it was in the apartment as well. Did they turn off my fucking power? she snapped. The office downstairs wouldn't open until 9am the next morning, so even if this was a mistake, there was nothing to be done until later. Her father told her he had paid the electric bill in the small place, since it wasn't that much. Silennia herself would have covered it, but he insisted on doing at least that much. Shit, sorry. Suddenly remembering Keiran was still there, she fumbled around into the kitchen where there was a camping flashlight in one of the cabinets, flipping the on-switch and smacking it to make it work. God, it's cold . There was the option of staying at Korina's, but she didn't currently have a key, and she was most certain that her friend wasn't going to be home tonight anyway. Instantly, Silennia went around lighting candles and pulling out more camping lights. It showed that she had plenty of experience with this before, knowing exactly where every little match was hidden and where spare candles and their holders were. It had been nearly a year since their power had been cut, but the drill was always the same.
