What Not to Do (Kallisti)

[Zephyr]

Now wasn't that a neat little trick. Zef smiled appreciatively at both the trick and the close up of a face she's stared out many times to try and understand his motives. Why betray everything you are? Obvious reason was he was the number one reason they existed in the first place. Rock meet hard place. But the answer should have been simple. Death to your family and yourself. That was the way of things. But he chose the cowards way out -- Zef was more upset about that.

But here was another god preening and flaunting his ability with no remorse. He was arrogant and mischievous. He knew of us, knew what we were and yet he hadn't heeded the stars words. He was brave or foolish and either of those things would work in her favor. She only had to appeal to his selfish nature. But what to test it on. That might take some thought beyond the now.

But first trust. Or at least a facsimilia of it. That she lacked with Durante. He didn't trust her. Neither did this one, but he was arrogant enough to manipulate with his own ego. Her eyes followed him tongue across his lips and fell into that daze of wanton need. Lust, was easy. He was attractive. And there was no harm in fun while you worked. Her voice dropped and she let go of just a little bit of her control. "Handy little trick. Tell me, Jaxen, what has been your most impressive guise with the biggest bang for the buck? Posing as the Ascendancy only brought upon some notoriety. Surely you do more than flaunt and preen your gift like this ameature show. Master thief such as yourself."
