*He smirked, and did not hesitate in INSTANTLY taking her at her word, his dextrous fingers dropping to her scalp, then invadint, piercing through to her skull, pulling at the very texture of her skull, drawing bone to his will, dulling nerves as he did so, pulling new branches of veins and arteries in to fuel the new growth and allow bone marrow to run through the center for greater blood cell productivity, the downside was this would make having the horns split painful, but as long as they stayed whole, they would be useful. Then he went about cutting off the changes from her natural regeneration, altering each cell just enough that her body would accept it as natural*
Good girl... they suit you...

Bella held still during the whole process, at first fearing more pain if she moved wrong, but then she quickly learned that he was not going to do it in his normal fashion in their more private time.... Closing her eyes as he went about creating them, she kept rubbing his waist with her fingertips. Feeling him finishing, she opened her eyes once again then slowly let go of his body to reach up and feel the new additions. Smirking faintly as her fingertips ran along the hard bones, she nodded faintly to show her pleasure in them before moving forward once again. "Now, your part of the deal," she told him, her arms snaking around his waist once again and pulling him close to her.

But of course... though you're part is still to be tested when your Sire see's what Ive done...
*He smirked and coiled his tail about her*
You may have heard of the Society of Leopold - the human faction dedicated to our eradication. Formed COUNTLESS centuries ago, they were at their strongest during the Inquisition, but after that their power started to wane. Since then, they have moved through phases of being more powerful, then less, as the wheel of time has turned. One of their up phases co-incided with the Industrial Revolution, when forging took on a new edge, yet for all this, the Society has always been steeped in euqla parts science AND mysticism, their own Faith one of their greastest weapons.
During this time, a new metal was forged. Haemoxinate. An oxidise form of a blessed metal, it could be smelted, welded, forged like steel and had the added bonus of COMPLETELY disrupting blood flow, almost like a magnet drawing or pushing away iron scraps. Crippling to our kind, and thus great for making any number of restraints to hold us.
Then came the 21st century, and with it... the technology to split the atom and thus... reduce the metal to a liquid, like mercury. Getting shot by it is extremely dangrous, ingesting it of having added to the bloodstream.. potentially lethal. It destroy bloodcells in its wake and disrupts the bone marrow, causing it to stop producing fresh red blood cells to take their place. It can, quite simply, make you bleed out form the inside out or worse. That is what rests in my hair, and the spike you carry.
*He broke off another and passed it to her, grinning*

"Don't worry about that," she purred faintly, nipping playfully at his stomach. "I can handle myself and I am a grown woman to do as I please," she reminded him as she would do to Ashen himself, if she had to.. but that didn't take away the worry she held of what he would do to her anyways...
Bella listened intently to the history lesson that Ice was giving her, her eyes stayed on his own while he spoke, but her hands were stroking the tail around her waist. Her eyes widdened slightly as she realized what it was that she had been possing on her own person, not even knowing it yet... She accepted the extra spike with a grin before placing it carefully with the other then turning back to him. "In case I need to use it, how much is needed to kill a cainite," she asked him before pausing as she tilted her head at him. "And... how come you have it in your body safely," she went on to ask him, her curiousity growing as her tail flickered around before curling around his own.

Each strand of my hair is sealed with a bone cap before it touches my skull. I am a fleshcrafter for a reason.. not to mention I have something of an immunity to it, but we will not discuss that.
To kill, just one spike, in technicality. Against a human, that one shot will kill. It will also kill any high generation Cainite, caitiff especially. Two spikes, will kill most lower gen Cainite until you start getting into the gen 6 and above, who will be crippled by it but will most likely survive as their system cleanses the poison. It would take a significant dose of the spikes to stop any generation higher, but at the very least it removes men form eth fight, for trying to use Disciplines whiel poisoned increases its effects and the effort of purging the harmful poison consumes a vast amount of blood. Against the few people I know of who are allergic to the substance in its entirety, one spike can still kill, or at least knock them out almost instantly.
*He purred against her and slithered his tail over the bar to seek drink*

She smirked faintly as she shook her head at him, "All you need to say is you don't want to tell me, I'm use to such things," she told him with a roll of her eyes and a sigh. Besides for that comment, she was quiet until he had finished explaining the doses on it. "Lets just hope I wont have a need to use it," she told him, grinning at his purring. Her eyes moved away from his face as she watched his tail reaching for a bottle behind the counter.
Moving her hands along his spine, she dug them in enough to get his attention and give him some pleasure from it. "What did you look like before you were embraced," she asked him suddenly, her voice soft and almost timid in nature as she waited for his answer. Bella was assuming he wouldn't tell her or would grow angry about the question, but she was merely curious as what he had looked like before.

*the bottle his tail had grabbed SHATTERED, the velocity of the shards increased by the sudden wave of angered cold that spread out from Ice, his pink eyes going a deep, deep red.
Where before his hands had drifted away from Bella as he spoke, now they grabbed her throat, squeezing hard as his beautifully crafted features split into a feroscious animal snarl, all teeth and cruelty, body quivering as he throttled her, enough to damage her larynx and compress her vertabrae.
Hissing with seething rage for a full minute, blindly holding Bella by her throat, he finally managed to growl his words out*
Never.... ask me that... AGAIN!
*Just as suddenly, he let her go, snarling still, standing so fast the chair fell backwards and smashed into the floor, his tail whipping up to score a cut across Bella's cheek as he headed for the door, hooves leaving hellfire prints in his wake as he slammed out of the building, the sound of massive wings beating the air following shortly afterwards. A touchy subject then.*

Jerking back in surprise, she could only whimper in surprise and pain while her voice box was still working. Staring up at him with large frightened eyes, she blinked uncertaintly up at him, tears filling her eyes then slowly falling as she started to get to where she couldn't even make the whimpering noise. Bella tried to nod that she understood, but found she couldn't do such.
Slumbing back after he let go of her before jerking again with a grasp from the stinging cut, she reached up and gently touched it before shaking her head and rubbing her throat with one hand and her cheek with the other. Looking away from the doors and wincing as she heard him leaving, she sat there for awhile, focusing on letting her body heal the damage he had done to her.

It had been almost a week now, since Bella and Iden got into their fight; which had started to turn violent before she left in tears.
Her tail was laying limp and listless over the edge of her stool, her ears were dropping slightly as she sighed then finally dropped her head down onto her arms. A faint sigh escaped her lips as she shook her head, careful of her horns, not to hit or scratch anything up. Her thoughts were on the fight that they had and what all it meant to her... Mainly now that she was calmed down and thinking... she saw that maybe he was right about it. After all, Leer wasn't her's in any way and she had warned him... now she could only sit back and see how he took her advice...
She just couldn't see how love was worth the pain and trouble though, all she had ever saw and felt was pain from loving and caring for another. She had seen what Ashen went through upon lossing Dominic, who was like a son to her... Bella had lost her whole village and she knew what that had done to her... His words kept running through her mind though, that at least her family was dead now... no chance of them being hurt worse then their quick deaths due to her. Unlike him... who had his brother out there somewhere still.. and could get into some danger if his enemies found out. Which in turn, only made her think about how much love and caring for another's not worth it in the end... people only end up hurt over the pain and suffering from it...

He walked into the bar in a decidedly nonchalant manner. He didn't notice her at first, which was why he kept walking to the bar. It wasn't until he was at the counter, about to hunt down a drink, that he noticed and recognized her.
Instantly he whirled around and began walking for the door. He was NOT in the mood for another fight today...so...guess it meant he'd have to find a drink somewhere else...

Bella had noticed him the moment he had walked into the bar. Her emerald eyes watched him as he moved around, by the time he had turned around, she was right behind him. One hand rose up and gently rested on his upper arm as the other one motioned for him to sit down. "Don't leave," she asked him faintly, her voice calmer then it had the last time they had seen one another. "I... I wanted to talk to you anyways," she told him, her tail flickering around behind her in a nervous manner now.
She couldn't explain it, but she felt neverous as a school girl about to ask her crush on a date or something. If he didn't leave and would stay or sit, she'd go on with what she wanted to say to him. "You... were right, he's not my childer to say what should be done with him... I warned him, and that's all I can do, besides be there when and if something happens... And you were right about my.... family," she replied her voice catching here as she looked down then back up to him once again. "At least, they died quickly... and there's no worry about them. They're in a better place, but no one can not say that about your brother..." she said to him, smiling weakly at the end, hoping he'd understand it was as close to her saying 'I'm sorry' he would get. Moving closer to him, if he let her, she'd wrap her arms around him, standing on her tippy toes to hug him.

He paused but for a moment, which was just long enough for her to begin. He was standing in the door by the time she finished, and slowly he forced himself to push away, back into the room. He didn't like it, but she seemed to be speaking honestly.
He pulled away as soon as she tried to touch him. He still bore her ill feelings, far too many to just reconcile so quickly. Instead, he went back to the counter, and gathered himself a bottle of whiskey. He was going to need it.

Sighing faintly, she shook her head as he pulled away from her and refused to let her touch him. At least he was staying though... it did prove that he was willing to make things better between them. "I went too far," she murmured faintly before moving behind the counter herself as she started to search the bottles back there.
"So you really think love is worth it," she asked him, pursing her lips faintly before shaking her head in disbelief as she grabbed a bottle of old elven wine from the minifridge. "Some say it's impossible for us to feel such things as love," she told him, watching his reaction to see what he thought about it.

If it isn't, then I've got nothing.
A simple, flat statement, carrying no emotion to it. He still was very much wary of their previous fueding...and he wasn't going to say any more than he had to this time, if only to prevent another loss of control.

She nodded at his words before moving towards the wine glasses and pulling one closer to her. "Do you have any ideas on what to do with your brother? Maybe Roan knows of a few safe houses," she suggested to him, feeling like she was stepping around on thin ice as she uncorked the bottle. While awaiting his answer, she poured herself half a glass then returned the bottle in the fridge. Pulling out a blood packet, she poured out half of it into her glass before offering the other half to him. Moving back around, she sat down beside him, watching him carefully as she mixed the two liquids together in it. Crossing her stocking clad legs at her knees, she rested one hand on her lap as she sipped on her glass, savoring the odd taste.
