i'm gonna lure you into the dark , my cold desire
The kelpie doesn't trust hardly anyone these days, not since her kingdom had been destroyed and she had been thrown over to Novus. Even then, only her brother and Abraxia had ever truly been loyal to her and now it's just Lucinda and her dragon. Sometimes there are those who she can tolerate, like Vendetta who she worked with for a time. The money had been generous, but the job quickly became boring. It had been what led her to the sea and somehow, fate knew to lead Anandi there too. Now, it's hard to believe she spent so much time in the lands where the sea seemed so far away.
While Torix is not one of those she fully trusts, she sees something in him that she wants more of. Whether it's to learn more or to devour it. He seems more methodical than someone who would use poison in a drink. Even then, maybe she would not be so disappointed if he did it to lure her somewhere in the dark. He would quickly learn the mistake he made.
"I suppose not," is all she says, fighting through the feeling that the entire room is now spinning. She wonders how much more beautiful it would look if her fire consumed it like a destructive tornado. Although she is a water horse, fire is perhaps her favorite element of all. It's the most destructive and the most wild. The sea is her home, but there are endless possibilities once a fire is set loose.
Unfortunately, her fire is merely an illusion and it disappears with a blink, leaving the table unscathed. "Sorceress is more like it," she tells him with a smile on her face.
Then, she attempts to stand but it's clear that the poison has worked a good way through her body. Lucinda is a bit disappointed in herself for being tricked and surely doesn't want to look like a drunken mess while leaving this party. She looks at Torix then, her green eyes looking more hopeful than usual.
"Would you care to escort me out? It seems I won't get my chance at chaos tonight." And she truly is disappointed because this rich palace would look so much better in green.
