The hunter was
in a foul mood.
|
He did not like
leaving his post in the midst of a mission, but they'd needed the
information he could get.
And yet...
|
"Did you find
out anything?" The Huntress inquired as she arrived.
|
"No." Kilbas
snapped in an icy tone, not appreciative of the interruption.
|
She scoffed in
her mind; and he was the one that called her here.
"Care to
elaborate?"
He'd gone to the humans for information on their target but Tanith didn't
know what methods he used. She was curious about what he'd find, though.
Tanith had to admit it: she did have an agenda. The Huntress wanted to find
Llyr first, while she did not much care about the actual target. |
Before being
able to answer, the Hunters eyes
spotted metal and guided by
his instinct his hand went for the handle of his barbarian blade.
|
She was supposed
to be an ally, and yet she carried her weapon in his presence.
|
"I see you have
brought out your weapon, Scythe-wielder." He gripped the cold handle.
He'd never seen her with it before.
|
The Huntress set
down her weapon.
"Do not be stupid."
|
How dare she
insult him!
The Hunter pulled out his blade, anger boiling within him.
|
"I'm not
carrying this around to fight you. It's just annoying to send it back to the
ether." She lied.
The demoness had finally been reunited with her weapon, she had a lot to
share with it and didn't wish to send it away. She was afraid they might
take it back from her if she let it go.
"So, what was it that you did?"
|
Kilbas grunted,
"This One was interrupted."
"You? Interrupted? Why not just kill whoever dared to oppose you?" Tanith's
tone mocked him unintentionally. In truth, she was rather surprised he had
given up so easily.
|
Unable to relax
and let go of his sword, the Hunter gritted his teeth. The female wouldn't
understand his restrictions.
|
The demoness
threw her weapon on her shoulder and turned away, "Well, since you don't
have news for me, I might as well go back and do my job."
|
"Next time you
call me, have something to say, won't you." She knew she'd just insulted him
even further but the presence of her weapon gave her confidence she might
not otherwise have.
And she left.
|
Kilbas cursed
under his breath. That scorpion just had to make everything worse. Now he
was looked down upon by creatures less worthy than himself and his
camouflage was confused and involved in things bigger than him.
|
He'd kill her if
he could, but it was not allowed.
Still, he definitely enjoyed the thought.
|
He certainly
would not bring him out for a good while now. Maybe she'd get bored of
waiting, though Kilbas had a feeling he'd need to give the Demon Prince's
descendant something more interesting to aim for before she'd forget Kay.
