Thread: A Whole New World (Collector x Hardor)

The shock and devastation on her face was a detail Brian had failed to notice as he moved towards her, his curiosity getting the better of him as he'd reached out his hand for a slight stroke of her ear. Unfortunately for him, that was an action that would soon result in quite the negative series of events for him. He had little time to react as the drow stood up and slapped him across the face, the action catching him off guard and sending him staggering backwards, surprise lighting up his face much like the red print that lit up his cheek. He'd had no awareness of the sensitivity of her ears let alone the meaning behind such a touch but his eyes quickly shifted towards her irises once more as they began to change. He quickly recovered from the staggering blow and flashed her a look, his heart racing as her voice turned into a feral growl and her anger began to show through, None of that, Lua. He breathed out, his eyes hardening as they moved to meet hers, Vaporize me and your only ticket to surviving this world crumbles. Remember that. Your hexes and magic will serve little use for you here. He stated, his eyes meeting hers as they exchanged glares. You will not simply bully me around here. He said, stepping closer to her as if challenging her. It was one thing to be kind to ones guest but when it came down to who would be the dominant one when all was said and done he had zero intentions of allowing her to be the one to hold that title. He kept his eyes focused upon her own, never once flinching despite the glowing orbs that stared back into his own sapphire ones. Truth was, he had little idea just what she was capable of but he knew the logical portion of her brain would eventually force her down. After all, she may of known his race from another time and place but she had little idea of just how they worked and operated in his world. She was a long way from home and the true reality of her situation was beginning to truly set in, I do not intend to make any advances on you nor did I intend to steal away your world. He breathed out, crossing his arms over his chest, However, I do intend to rule my own house and to create the rules that govern it. You do not know how to return to your world and I have no means of assisting you with that. Fact of the matter is you are here and therefore you must learn how to survive here. He gave a shrug of his shoulders, dismissing all else at that moment. Either you can go on a little rampage and vaporize me like you seem to enjoy threatening doing or you can knock the shit off, cool your head and remember where you are. You're no longer in your kingdom. You are in mine. And the rules we play by are much different here. Now, I recommend you return those eyes of yours to normal and cool the hell down before this gets more out of control than it needs to. I don't intend to sit idly by while you zap me with those eyes of yours and I'd much prefer not to have to grab you by that hair of yours and pin you down. I'm sure that would only serve to further humiliate someone of your supposed stature. Or am I wrong? He questioned, stepping closer to her as if preparing to do exactly as he mentioned. Truth was, he honestly had no idea whether or not he'd be able to overpower the drow female. She came from a world he had no understanding of and had endured things far different from that of the world he was acquainted with. What he did know was that she was highly intelligent and that she was in need of something to hold her all together. She'd been informed that her own world was potentially unreachable therefore survival in this world was the utmost importance. Unfortunately for her, the man who stood before her was the only one currently capable of ensuring her survival. He came within a foot of the female after fully recovering from the rough slap and stared down at her, his frame a few inches taller than her own. He stared down at her, his eyes unflinching, For as long as you are in this house, I expect you to abide by my rules. You want to be respected and treated like the royalty you were? Then I expect you to earn that privilege. As far as I'm concerned you are a simply tenant of my house. That means you will do what is requested of you to earn your stay here. Do you understand? He questioned, knowing full well his words would do more than simply annoy her. They would cut at her, further stabbing at the status she once held in her own land.
