Honestly, all in all, Demeter liked the way her day went. It had been one of those cold and drizzily days, rain that was soft and pleasant to stand under. Weather that sent goosebumps racing across her skin and made her feel like all was right with the world. One of her favorite kinds of cozy. So for her, probably not many others, it had been a wonderful day with the weather. And now even though night had crept in, she was still out enjoying the weather, while keeping a cautious eye out for any ne'er-do-wells she could try to scare straight, or something. Well. Hm, there was an aura... But it felt scary. She didn't like it, and decided that now was a good time to try to go home and pretend like she was still the good, sweet Christian girl her parents believed her to be, instead of someone who lied and snuck out and fought people. Even if it was for a good cause.

It could not be said that Captain Crocoite was ever in a particularly good mood, really. Tonight, however, he was leaning closer that way than most of the time. He was sure he was making progress in his innumerable plans for power, and his ultimate effort to see his former General completely destroyed.
All it took was one little conversation with a particularly innocent Lieutenant, and now he had more than enough fuel for the fire that would eventually burn its way through his General's life. It all just took time and patience.
Thankfully, as his namesake and theming suggested heavily, he had patience to spare if it meant a good meal of a reward by the end.
He felt the pulse of an aura nearby and a thin smile crossed his features before he chased it away. Yes, it was a good night to go and play with something. Maybe he could make an interesting deal, and gain something beyond the normal energy or a starseed from the encounter. But only time would tell, and he moved toward the aura quickly enough. He was not running, of course: he never ran, if he could avoid it.
Not only was it difficult to run in leather, he liked to keep himself composed, especially when meeting someone for the first time. It was hard to be afraid of someone puffing and sweaty. Once he spotted the source, his green eyes flashed.
"Good evening," he called lowly.

s**t! She'd been caught! She flinched, turning to give the Captain an awkward smile. "Hello," she replied tentatively, taking a small step back. "Uh... I don't suppose you just need a stick of gum, or something?" She always had something on her—mints, gum, little candies, water bottles, wet wipes, napkins, tissues, and of course tampons and pads. Just because you were a supergirl didn't mean you stopped using your purse/subspace for hoarding stuff that someone might need! It did, however, mean she had to buy all new stashes of stuff instead of just having an accumulation in her various purses over time, so she could fit it into subspace and not lose out on her purse stashes.

For a moment, the Crocodile was caught off guard. He had never expected quite a response to his spooky greeting as that, and had no preparation in mind for such a strangely innocent offer. It did make him grin, though, white teeth lacking the appropriate fangs and yet somehow still just as menacing as the creature he all but embodied. "No, I do not. Is that really all you have to offer me? I find that difficult to believe, actually, as I know you possess things of far more interest and use to me." In his hand he held up his cane, shifting his grip down so his hand was around the black part of the cane, just under the base of metal that acted as the crocodile's neck. His other hand moved to rest lightly on the head of the cane itself, though for now he simply left his stance in this strange position. "Are you interested in making a deal?"

"Uh, well, I have some butterscotch candies, too, so... maybe a deal like, I give you some candy and you go away?" she offered, knowing quite well that would never actually work, but hoping to buy herself some time for someone... anyone to come rescue her from this guy. He seemed so menacing! And scary! And she really didn't think he would fall for any of her silly little games!! She wasn't that stupid, after all. Still, she prepared herself to have to fight, cautiously readying. Just in case he tried to take what he wanted from her physically. Her magic spell on the tip of her tongue.

Crocoite might have been charmed by just how simple this little one seemed to be, but he lacked the emotional capacity. His heart was shriveled and tiny, and there was no amount of fairy tail style learning that would make it grow. He was not interested in any such endeavors, anyway, quite happy to find such sweetness, like an offer of candy, and twist and wring out every ounce of fear and dismay he could instead.
He had a feeling she already got that idea, but he would make sure to make himself as clear as possible soon enough.
"I'll take the candy as a reward for leaving you recognizable enough for any of your companions to identify when they find you, how about that?" He said with a grin, eyes flashing as he gripped the head of his crocodilian cane, flexing his hand for a moment thoughtfully before pulling it free of its case. The sharp, thin blade sang, and he pointed the sword at her while holding on to the scabbard in his off hand.
"Perhaps with a few new holes, you'll be more amenable to brokering a deal," he said, before charging toward her.

She screamed, dodging out of the way of the sharp object and being hit by the scabbard instead—it hurt like heck but she'd rather get hit by that thing than the sword! She tried to throw her fist at him, but was clearly uncoordinated and weak. Holy cow, she was not cut out for this!!!
