There is some odd sense of pleasure Lucinda gets from imagining Sereia succumbing to her true instincts. The extreme guilt she must have felt after is laughable, especially if she had come to apologize to the man so many times after. She did him a favor, Lu thinks, and made him an even stronger creature of war than whoever he called a mother.
But he doesn't see it this way, does he? It both sickens and disappoints her.
He is sarcastic to her, but she smiles. There are many who find her bone-chilling, she would like to think. She would love to destroy him in this moment and let him see who she can truly become - who they can truly become. If he would accept it, they could create chaos together like they should have at the party if she hadn't been poisoned.
There is still a part of her that wonders, just a bit, if Torix had been behind that. He didn't kill her on that night, but he very well could have. She's not sure if she's grateful he hadn't or disappointed in that too. Because as he gives his reason, what they are is the very creature he had sought to kill some time ago.
Lucinda laughs again, but it's not as boisterous as before. It's a short laugh and she does not take her eyes off him when she says -
"Do you want to kill me, Vercingtorix?" She raises a brow and her smile is now a smirk. Her adrenaline is spiking and the sea is whispering kill, kill, kill into her ears. Her heart beats a song it so often sings to her while she eyes her prey from below. But then it begins to beat faster like a war song.
Lucinda wonders what his next move might be. She's not sure if she would consider it foolish or brave to take a lunge at her, but she wants him to. She wants to feel the way his new teeth feel piercing her skin. Then she'd return it with a bite of her own and taste his fresh kelpie blood on her tongue.
"Speaking."
