“Rather rude, now isn’t it?”
[i]The woman replied, sizing up the individual who had approached.[/i]
[i]Despite not having her own armor on, the woman showed no sign of intimidation or any surprise at Alpha’s appearance.[/i]
“Expect the unexpected. Sometimes there are stranger things than talking goats.”
[i]Boy oh boy was that true...
She’d seen an angry Lucien.[/i]
English
-
And yet, Alpha bore on of Lucien's favorite calling cards: a hebrew brand. If Widow knew anything about it, she'd be able to read it as "Liar." Didn't seem like Lucien to brand her thus for petty reasons. "I have a habit of saying the first thing that pops in my head. Name's Alpha."
-
“Brand reads Liar... not something anyone would carry around willingly...” [i]She did not hint at her knowledge of Lucien, but she made it clear that she wanted to know what the deal with the brand was.[/i]
-
"And not something that this someone is willing to divulge." She said, going on the defensive
-
“I understand. We’ve all got our own scars.” [i]She’d shifted into a more friendly and sincere attitude. That was her backup for handling people. If she couldn’t flirt, she took up a more motherly and caring role.[/i]
-
Which, as coincidence would have it, would be the same role Alpha had gone without for years. It shocked her and put her off her guard "What?"
-
“If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you to. I’ve been through my fair deal of rough things, and I don’t like talking about them.” [i]She said. What Alpha wouldn’t know was that this was in large measure a facade. However there was some sincerity in her words, for she too was familiar with what Lucien could do.[/i]
-
"That's a change of pace. Most people here wouldn't stop till I told them." She said blankly
-
“Most people don’t understand psychological and physical trauma.” [i]She said with a shrug.[/i]
-
"Yeah. Yeah I...understand. It's actually how I got the brand. One of lucien's uh.....Proteges?"
-
[i]She nodded.[/i] “You were one of his experiments?” [i]She asked, taking a bit of a leap, to test the waters.[/i]
-
"If he also goes by "The Boogeyman", yes. I had to completely bypass my own means of speech to talk again." In truth, she did sound slightly modular
-
“That... that sounds like him.” [i]She said, a slight shiver visible in her movement.[/i] “But I don’t think he goes by “The Boogeyman...””
-
"Whoever it was....they'll suffer if I ever see them again and get my way."
-
“Just don’t get yourself killed.” [i]She said, a sincere statement.[/i]
