A nice bath in the hotspring, you washing off my back perhaps? *Step by step, he slowly walked passed her, not turning his back to her presence, awaiting an answer.*

"Uh .. I would go with you if you like." she replied softly. The idea of washing another person off was odd to her, she did not know how to react.

Great! I'll meet you there then Ziven. *Walking backwards, he gave her a bright smile before facing the door and walking out towards the spring*

"Very well." she replied with a smile, bobbing her head. With a small pop, she was gone.

A translucent figure appeared on the rafters. His hood was, for once, drawn back to reveal a very human looking face. His teeth were normal, except for the sharp eye teeth, and his wings were no longer on his back. In his hand there was a black crystal, and he seemed to be looking intently on it. It was strange to him how people were so ungrateful. No matter what he did or who he did it for he was and always would be considered evil. The idea that people were like that was both strange and comforting for some reason.

With a small pop, Ziven appeared in the rafters of the bar. Silently sitting there, she realized she was not alone. Blue eyes looked down to see a familiar form but with new detail; a better look at their face. She tilted her head for a moment, curious as to why he seemed to be more exposed here in a public place, pondering a small object in his hand rather than .. whatever it is that he would normally be doing. Not wanting to cause trouble, she remained where she was in the rafters, not saying anything, merely observing.

"It is not nice to stare, you know that don't you?" The figure said with a very calm, almost sad voice. With the snap of his fingers the black crystal disappeared. "Just so you know, oh mistress of assumptions..." He was speaking to her, but not looking at her. Lifting his hands up he put the hood over his head again to cover his face. "I am not as bad as a person as you think I am." Another lit cigarette appeared in his hand and he took a long drag from it.

"There is nothing wrong with observing." she replied immediately. There was a difference between staring and observing and it should be known. Shifting her position in the rafters, she made sure it was clear that she was no longer observing him. His next comment was curious, as there was nothing on her mind of him being a bad person this eve. "Even if I did not have the ability to read others minds, yours is like an open book. Why is it that you dwell on what others think of you so much? From the moment we met, that is all I hear from you: Accusations of how everyone around you views you, what others think of you in the past, how others will perceive you now and in the future. Which, logically, leads to the quintessential question; what is your opinion of yourself?"

"My mind is an open book?" The figure asked curiously, tilting his head slightly. "And my opinion of myself? That should be obvious, I hate myself." He laughed slightly and stood up. "And therefore I hate the creatures around me. Creatures who can do so much good, yet constantly chose to do only what is in their best interest. Have your skills not developed to the point where you can hear the screams of everything around you? You say you can connect with the living..." He took a drag from the cigarette sighing as the smoke rose into the air. "I suppose your master could... perhaps when you are more in tune with the planet you will hear it too."
"As for the open book part..." He said with a chuckle, pacing a bit. "What is on my mind, truly?"

A low growling sound like that of a large wolf or dog came echoing from the darkness in the raftor beams above. For two creatures were there disturbing the beasts sleep. The creaking sound of beams bending under the pressure of a great weight sounded next followed by a pair of crimson lights which flashed for a moment and then went dim. They were still quite visible but that's the only that was. They did not give off near enough light to illuminate what was casting the glow but to any regular of the syndicate it was painfully obvious who they belonged to. "Your teeth will be on your mind when we punch them into your head if you don't shut your trap. And as for you." The voice said as the lights turned to Ziven. "If you can sense living creatures oh so well then why didn't you sense us and go somewhere else? You know we do not wake friendly...". The lights returned to a cold stare at the strange figure whom he did not know personally like he knew Ziven. Still, Yawgmoth had never had any qualms making it quite clear that he was in control of this place to newcomers.

"Mr Yawgmoth, I grow tired of holding the same conversation every time we meet. This is a public place, I still suggest you consider sleeping elsewhere if you wish not to be disturbed." she replied immediately.
Though she did not truly want to pursue conversation with either of them, she continued with her thoughts, returning her attention to the man.
"What I mean of your thoughts, is that despite my not having said anything, you first spoke telling me of my own assumptions and my ill opinion of you. The truth of what was on my mind at the moment was finding it curious that you were not concealing yourself as normal and you are also pondering something, the object in your hand or what you might do with it perhaps.
Since I have no idea what that object may be, it is you who are thinking of your own actions in association with your daily life or perhaps with that object, not I and by assuming I knew more of what you were thinking of, you then projected your own thoughts on to me, thus making yourself the one making the assumptions and not myself. True, I know you have done evil things yet I have witnessed you doing good things also. That is fact." she finished, defending herself but not wanting to accuse him of anything.

Yawgmoth's eyes brightened for a split second as a slight flicker of power shot through him. Hardly noticeable next to his awesome presence. An involuntary action that shot the link to control the darkness like it was a puppet. And control he did, for four tendrils made out of the shadows they were standing attacked Ziven. One for each limb, coiling around the ends of legs and arms. Being up above where the lights hung meant that darkness was everywhere and that was Yawgmoth's playground. "We too grow tired of constantly reminding you that we are the strongest so what we say goes. It's called power. Being able to influence those around you as you see fit. So we think we're going to pull you apart from four angles at once and watch your innards spill into the floor below for the rats to feast upon tonight." and at the conclusion of his words the tendrils that gripped her so began to tug, doing exactly as he said pulling in four directions, one for each limb. The force was hardly enough to rip body parts off of course it was, currently, a warning shot so to speak. Tugging the limbs in those direction to signal that if she didn't apologize or get out of his "domain" that he would continue his threat all the way through.

When she felt the tendrils touch her, it caused her slight discomfort not because the force used but because of the nature behind the touch. With a sour expression, she disappeared with a small pop, reappearing again on one of the couches below. She tried to wear a neutral expression now, though it was clear that she was irritated with his actions and that she had moved as a reaction to such. "Yes, and I still fail to understand how it is that my mere presence in this room poses such a threat to you. The powerful Mr Yawgmoth is feeling that some young, naive female is going to usurp his authority, intimidating him somehow by simply existing in the same place as he? Nonsense, for we both know that I would never challenge you like that." she said softly. She knew she was being snippy with him but tonight she just did not have the patience to be messed with and she wanted him to know it.

The figure took a drag from the cigarette, not even caring that the smoke rose from his body. "It is the way you act around us that lets us know you think we are bad. You watch me without speaking, look at me with eyes of doubt and the slightest bit of anger." A yawn could be heard from under the hood and he shook his body for some reason. "At that moment you may have wondered simply what we were doing, but the fact that you tried to stay quiet because you thought that I was going to cause trouble..."
The figure looked at Yawgmoth for a moment, then shook his head. "******** off Yawg. If you were so high and mighty and you would have taken over by now. Get off your high horse and learn some manners." His voice was still very calm, not even a hint of irritation came forth.

Yawgmoth snarled and barked down. "Listen here you insolent b***h. What irritates us about you is how you continue to mock us day in, day out with your smart a** comments, your care free expressions, all if it drives us insane! No one has ever done such things in front of us and lived to tell the tale let you live and walk on like some itch that will not go away! Your continued existence is a nuisance and a scar in our pride that you walk without so much as a single injury from us smacking you straight for you disrespect. Why haven't we harmed you yet? At first because you were prey, we were playing a game. After that our encounters with you were, dare we say friendly. And now, now you've got Aliator watching your back so if we do kill you we'll have to put up with him and his attacks on us." Yawgmoth bellowed down from above. "But perhaps we are sick of you and we are losing our care of whether or not Aliator attacks us for harming you or not. So we dare you to mouth off one more time tonight. Because if you do, we swear we will drop whatever is left of you on Ali's doorstep for him to step in when he walks outside! Are we making ourselves crystal clear!?" Yawgmoth roared, enraged. A feeling that was made easily identifiable by his increasing aura. The faint purple glow illuminating the darkness finally revealing Yawgmoth to all eyes. He had enough of her existing, enough of her getting away with her smart mouthed disrespect. Tonight, tonight it was time to shut her up. For good....and it was then, that Yawgmoth's ears caught the response of the figure next to him "Die" was the single word that escaped Yawgmoth's lips as the very same tendrils that had been wrapping around Ziven's limbs shot after the figure. Yawgmoth's plan was simple now, kill this fool, then without him around to pose a problem, kill Ziven. His combined anger and days, weeks of boredom without a fight had driven this to come.
