Valentino was not known for his survival instincts, he was also not known for understanding the subtleties others used in conversations. When the voice of the heiress of death spread throughout the room, Valentino didn't notice the threat insinuated in her tone, nor the disdain in the her voice.
"
How astute of you to notice the lack of welcome signs, and welcome mats at this school!" Valentino said as honestly as he could, it was an established fact that most students had removed their signs after a single meeting with Valentino. Valentino always had a welcome sign in front of his lab however, he liked his victims to come to him.
Before he could continue on the pros and cons of welcome mats, signs, and their relationship to entrapping curious gnomes and students, something metallic was in front of Valentino. it was sharp, sharper than anything in Valentino's lab. It was perfect for dissections and evisceration. There was a stirring in Valentino's body as he felt himself become more and more attracted to this blade's potential.
"
Buzz, crackle and sizzle? Ghoul, you are lucky to see so many students get the full shock, I've been banned to even let them into my lab for a little crackle." Valentino was a jealous, how come this ghoul got to have all the fun?
The memories of his past experiments suddenly were taking over Valentino's mind. Storms and lightning bolts, shocking and electrifying those wiggling subjects strapped onto his lab table. It was almost too much fun when lightning storms were around.
Edging in closely to the blade in front of him, Valentino's eyes shimmered as the memories of past experiments' screams filled his mind. He bit his lower lip as thought of crackling students still filled his thoughts.
"
Personally I am a big fan of when they crackle, what about you?" He manged to utter as the blade almost cut into him "
Jack damn-it, you have a fine blade here." Valentino just wanted to press a little more against this blade, to see how cleanly he could be cut but Sally was clearly against that.
