DarkenWoodWolf Yes, I think she is vain enough to think it is about her. *giggles*
Xithis: I can take over you, you know... -.- ~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: *smirks* Is it vanity when it's true? DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: *sighs dramatically* The human just doesn't know what she is talking about... *rolls eyes* But then, most don't. *looks pointedly at Ancorath*

~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: *The white male gave an unconcerned shrug.* "I've gotten that impression, and here I thought it was just my limited experience with the race they call 'human'..." *He shook his head and waves his tailfeather in a sweeping motion, ink dripping from the center one anew.* "How interesting to see you again so soon, Xithis..."

DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: *folds her wing to her back in annoyance* I have had far to much experience with the race they call human. Especially the one at my back. *snorts in derision and rakes a paw over the wing shape in her scarf* And it was not my intention to see you quite so soon, King. I have no new business with you.

~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: A pesky one, this human of yours? *he watched her toy with the scarf, arching one brow and ignoring the corresponding river of ink that crept down his cheek* I can't imagine why you don't get rid of her.. Surely you're resourceful enough? That must mean she serves some use... *at the latter part, he smiled* Ahhh, not ready to call in that favor yet? Very well, I shall simply remain eaten alive with curiosity... *he chuckled, obviously not greatly concerned*

DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: If it were that easy, King, I would have taken her mind long ago. *snorts and shakes her head, watching the ink run down his cheek and then gets angry about the fact that she wants to wipe it away* I think eaten alive would be a good look on you.

~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: *He threw his head back and laughed at this, shaking his head and tsking at her when he was through.* "That was hardly complimentary, Lady Xithis... Surely you can't be tired of me already?" *He tilted his head in question, letting the discussion of the human slide.*

DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: Since I have what I want from you, there is no need for me to be complimentary, or nice, or sweet, or charming, or any of those qualities that a Lady might possess. *a small slow smirks spreads over her face* Unless, of course, you find my company so enthralling that there is something that you'd like to offer for it? *pointedly doesn't answer his question, mainly because she was unsure of an answer*

~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: *The Angel bared his teeth in a parody of a grin.* Ah, does that mean I'm offering you something for the mere pleasure of your company? Or am I bribing you to be complimentary, nice, sweet, charming or any of those other amiable qualities? Just so we're clear as to what I am going get in return for my payment, such as it may be...

DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: *blinks and narrows her eyes suspiciously* You'd get what you requested, of course. A little of both, most likely. Whichever you felt was worth more. *tilts her head and studies him for a while* I don't think it is like you to grant favors on a whim. *is getting curious again*

~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: *For a moment the King of Nightmares considered her, tilting his head faintly as though listening to something only he could hear, night-dark eyes gazing over the lands as a contemplative frown drifted over his maw. At her final statement, he huffed a soft laugh.* "Judging my character now, hmm?" *He sorted softly, stretching his back slightly by lowering his fore-end to the ground, tail lashing this way and that.* Well, the one would do me little good without the other, truth be told.. And as for not being one to hand out favors.. I don't usually get such an opportunity, there are few inmates in Heaven's Prison.. And those that are there can do nothing for me.

DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: Judging someone's character is part of my job. *she shifted when he frowned, very well away that she shouldn't make the angel mad. Wouldn't do to waster her favor keeping herself alive* Then both, if that is what you want, but the price would be higher. My company is expensive. *decides to take a gamble* And if you didn't like being in prison, then you shouldn't have been stupid enough to get caught.

~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: *His maw contorted in a snarl, claws slipping loose of his paws and scoring the ground, ink oozing into the furrows in the earth and pooling like bloody wounds.* Caught? Is that what you think of me, Lady of the Dark? *he snorted, though the sound was less of mirth and more of derision* I was not imprisoned for any crime, they knew little of those... *he smirked* It was after they understood I was King of Nightmares... Angels are actually quite ignorant, beyond their particular skill sets... They knew -true enough, from the very beginning- that my brothers and I were the rulers of the DreamLands... But what they did not stop to consider was that each of us would have take control of a different part... Perhaps if Talcorin or Incorrin had been the King of Nightmares, they would not have paniced so.. But neither Tal nor Incorrin have the spine to treat the inhabitants of the DarkLands as they should be ruled.. And so they kept to the 'Lighter' Realms... However, our fellow Angels seemed to feel I was the type to use my servants as weapons against them, and so before I could make war on the Golden Gates, they locked me up... *He shrugged, giving a mocking smirk.* Life is a horrid misunderstanding, hmm?

DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: *listens intently, filling all the information away for later use* You like to hear yourself talk, don't you? *she smiled charmingly in the face of his snarl, ignoring the thrill of fear and excitement* But, you know, you can't be that great a King if you let yourself get locked up like that. Just means that they are more powerful then you. *Well, at least she didn't say outright that he was weak. It did appear she was throwing caution to the winds*

~Latonia de la Courtel~ Ancorath: *He snorted. How to explain the politics of Heaven to a simple mortal lioness? Not that she was simple... He canted his head to the side. Not that she was exactly 'mortal', either...* "High noon in Heaven is a horrid hour..." *he said after a moment of silence* "Thrice-damned burning sun... And considering how many Angels there are... There is only so much one may do on his own, particularly when those around him do not enter the DreamLands..." Let her do with that what she willed... But most Angels -himself included- did not sleep... However, being who and what he was, he instead simply moved his whole being into the Realm of Dreaming, rather then simply his mind touching its edges like mortals...

DarkenWoodWolf Xithis: Yes, you really, really do like to hear yourself talk. *answers her own question, because he so obviously did* So, you are falling back on the fact that you and the others do not sleep as an excuse. Huh. *She let the thought roll around in her head for a moment* Well, I suppose that, since you are the king of nightmares, someone who couldn't have nightmares would be less within your power then someone who could. *She wasn't even really going to guess at what the King was talking about. Politics, she thought, but unless she was there, she wouldn't understand anyway. It might be safer just to tease him* So, was it like one of those old western movies. Showdown at High Noon? Did you take your ten paces and pull your weapons?
