"Your eloquence astounds mortal." He said dryly, slowly stretching his wings before settling down again.
"Umm, yeah, I get that a lot." Adesse swallowed nervously.
"Oh, don't let my presence bother you, mortal. Please, do continue." He commented casually, eyeing her shock still form. His tail twitched before curving slowly around the bigger of the two boulders.
Adesse cleared her throat again before answering.
"Uh, it's alright, I, ah, just finished."
When she had slapped him, she hadn't realized just how large he actually was. She blamed it on her explosive temper.
"Well, then. What shall we do human? Hummm?"
He was grinning. She swore that he was. It wasn't a nice grin. She straitened and turned her body to face him fully, ready to fight or flee at a moment's notice.
"Well," she drew out, "How about we part ways and pretend that this never happened?"
Her eyes lit up hopefully at the last part. His claws flexed.
"I have a better idea." He drawled, causing her eyes to dim mournfully. He raised his head arrogantly.
"I've been watching you," she rolled her eyes. "And I find you to be resourceful, quick thinking and light on your feet. Just the type of slave I was looking for."
Adesse's jaw dropped, flabbergasted.
He continued but she paid him no mind. She couldn't wrap her head around it. It's like he expected her to feel honored that he chose her has his slave. Like he was the Gods own gift. Like he had every right to claim her life for his own.
So, to her complete horror, her mouth ran off by its self.
"You are the most conceded creature I have ever met."
