Presuming the inevitable (Drea)

[Drea]

"Of you? Plenty. From you? Your actions speak louder than your false words, Gabriel." Drea's expression was not unlike stone. Hours of dealing with the fanciful people of her parents' world had taught her to hide her expressions, wants, and sometimes her needs.

She shared Emily's face - as twins, they looked the same, indistinguishable but to Emily's closest friends. And likely, her closest enemies.

At his questions, Drea felt her fury growing beneath the calm face she presented. "Hurt a friend?" she almost growled. "You mean like Kevala? After what you did to her, you dare to say something like that to me?" She'd seen the results of his behavior first hand, and though she'd asked Kevala to be careful, he'd still hurt her. And she couldn't blame Kevala for thinking she was in love... No, it was Gabriel that had caused her friend pain.

She scowled at him. "I can't possibly hurt my first friend more than you did. As far as hurting someone, I'm sure I have even if I'm not aware of it. I have never once planned to hurt a person though I have most certainly entertained thoughts of doing so." Her eyes flashed darkly.

At his apology, though, she froze. She had no intention of conceding anything to him and she'd already said what she thought of him. "Don't apologize for something you're not sorry for." She frowned at him and reminded, "Actions speak louder than words."

When he asked her where she stood, her softening demeanor hardened once more, her grip tightening on her fan. "I serve the purpose I deem to be mine," she said, voice not unlike ice. "Besides, we both know you don't care - and I have no intention of giving you anything to use against me."

She might not be coated in sin and cruelty and all the dangers that had sullied those around her, but nor was she careless. She had no wish to fall to what her sister had fallen to, though she'd happily fall in her place.


[Sorry this took me so long. X___x I've been shoveling and doing homework nonstop for the past two weeks. Gah. Stupid snow.]

[Gabriel Seran]

(ooc: No worries take yer time)

"I serve the purpose I deem to be mine,"

Again not a straight forward answer, no hinge of momentum behind words of ice therefore halting them altogether. The wheels of history as we know are pushed forward on that of blood and often the hurt of those sacrificed are the greatest movers. Then what of the soul? Gabriel Seran had sold his soul tenfold over to progress the wheels of history and his fate and fate alone was to be judged for eternities for past deeds and why not the future? His greatest penance was to be his greatest demise, while those judges stood sentencing his fate he must watch and not partake those deeds of the great he'd prepared for the future, what an ill-fate indeed.

"Besides, we both know you don't care - and I have no intention of giving you anything to use against me."

A small snide chuckle as his gaze hastened away to the side with a mix of bitter contempt hiding it away for the basic fact would be this conversation meant a whole mentality of nothing. Gabriel would not be convincing her this day, for the truth had been spoken from his lips and often it was the truth those had hardest to believe. Perhaps him lying would have gotten greater reactions. That was how Moral Crest rose in arms, he lied. But when that thoughtful dream of republic? Neigh it meant consequently nothing but prying eyes searching for their own handhold in power, Selfish children.

"I believe you have your spears trained to the wrong front Drea... but that is all that can be said for that is all you'll listen to. Empty your cup." Gabriel would say with something of a controlled smile. Learning was above all the greatest power and that was her deed to take account of.
