"You are not Icetenari," Cameron pointed out inflectionlessly as she stepped into the hall, her gaze focusing on Damion.

She'd been coming to speak with Ice, but this put a damper on that; her scans indicated a lack of any other life forms in the building save the pair before her. Face entirely void of emotion or anything else, she scanned him as well, though it was less for who he was - she knew that much - and more for what she was dealing with here.

"You should not be here," she added.

"And yet, here I am," Damion murmured. "But no, I'm not Icetenari. Nor do I think I'd want to be."

He glanced over to Nenael as the angel stepped past them. Well, he wasn't going to tie him down; let him have his fun as well.

"I am Damion Cohen, and who might you be?" he inquired politely, as if he were nothing more than another newcomer to this particular bubble. He was aware of Belle fluttering against his mind ... but he could keep her out and he knew she'd give up on him after a bit.

"Cameron Phillips," she offered, "We are not friends. You should not talk to me like we are."

Perhaps that would gain her more trouble than she was bargaining for, but Cameron wasn't one to keep up a pretense, especially one as ludicrous as this. He wasn't supposed to be here; he was meant to be on the other side. The fact that he appeared to have replaced Ice did not bode well.

"We're not friends yet," Damion said with a little grin. "Nothing to say we can't be friends in the future."

He studied Cameron for a moment, replaying the day they'd invaded. She was one of the triplets, though he didn't think she was --

-- oh that was right. She'd broken the boy's wrists. His grin broadened as he recalled that. "How's your ... boyfriend, is it?"

i_call_9mm February 22 2009, 00:27:48 UTC

Her eyes narrowed, and despite her inability to truly feel anger, she felt the ache of it tugging at her consciousness.

"He's fine," she said coldly, "He made a full recovery."

She had half a mind to break Damion's wrists for bringing it up, and she wondered just what he was capable of. She didn't have to worry about being hurt herself, of course, but if he took it upon himself to act out at Jake, that would be a different story.

lies_unspoken February 22 2009, 00:49:02 UTC

"Good," Damion agreed. "Would hardly be fun to break him again if he hadn't already recovered," he murmured. Dark eyes skimmed lightly over the surroundings. It was so much brighter here, and they seemed to have more amenities than Riverfell had. Was that simply a response to population? Or was Order simply expending more of its resources into making its troops comfortable?

It was interesting, and while he pondered that and looked around, he was perfectly aware of the girl, where she was, and what she was doing.

She moved quickly, one hand moving to slip around his throat, wanting to crush it under the strength of her grasp. She expected to be able to do so and would have been shocked if he blocked her, aware this was the sort of reaction a machine shouldn't have, that she shouldn't react at all to what he'd said.

"Leave him be," she ordered, aware that this was not a tactically sound move at all yet finding it difficult to pay attention to that fact.

lies_unspoken February 22 2009, 02:07:42 UTC

He almost didn't block her. She had none of the telling human signs before she moved - which was what he was watching for. So she moved like an elf might, and that was irritating.

Still, he did put up a shield of sorts; he shifted his throat to scales so that she couldn't crush it. Still, it was a close thing, and that had him annoyed.

Though he hadn't really planned on singling anyone out today, he thought he might make a point of finding the girl's boyfriend and doing a bit more than breaking his wrists.

Snarling, Damion glared at Cameron. "You might want to watch who you give orders to," he rasped at her. "Might not be your best idea."

i_call_9mm February 22 2009, 05:06:26 UTC

Lifeless eyes met his evenly, her gaze steady, and though she couldn't crush his neck, she did continue to constrict her hand around it, impervious metal clamping around him despite the sheath of skin over it.

"I am not afraid of you," she informed him as if she were discussing the latest television show or the weather, "You cannot hurt me."

Though he could hurt Jake, and she considered that - worried, almost - but she could defend him, if need be.

lies_unspoken February 22 2009, 05:42:17 UTC

Damion wondered if that was true, but there was evidence enough to support it. She certainly had a grip on him, and if he wasn't who he was, he might have been a touch frightened. As it was, he was mostly just ... annoyed.

"Fair enough," he said as he fixed his dark eyes on her. He was tempted to test that theory ... and later, he might. He'd simply have to find the right way to go about it.

"So now that you've had your say, are you going to let go of me, or are we going to stay like this all day?"

i_call_9mm February 22 2009, 06:25:03 UTC

She stared at him a moment longer before releasing, stepping back a little, gaze still meeting his. He could be annoyed with her all he liked, but she truly felt no fear and was entirely unconcerned with what harm might befall her; it would mostly be cosmetic, anyways, unless he found some way to hack into her circuitry.

"Behave yourself," she countered evenly.

lies_unspoken February 22 2009, 06:39:03 UTC

"I certainly will," he assured her. He even managed to keep the smile more or less off his face.

He, of course, had no intention what so ever of behaving today. In fact, he intended to tear things up as much as he possibly could - but he had to see how much of his power worked, and whether or not his blade was hanging around somewhere.

Though he didn't need the blade for what he meant to do today, he'd still rather have a weapon or two at hand. But he supposed his mother had an ample stash of them - and he knew most of her styles. It shouldn't be a problem to arm himself today.

i_call_9mm February 22 2009, 07:47:32 UTC

"You lie," she said simply.

While he didn't have the normal tics some of the humans would have, there was still something about his expression, the way he spoke, that informed her of that.

"I will be watching," she informed him lightly.

lies_unspoken February 22 2009, 08:02:18 UTC

"You and everyone else," Damion murmured to her. Oh, he didn't doubt he'd be the topic of conversation and observation today. Didn't doubt he'd have people trailing him at all times.

Which was fine by him. He could see how they operated. Where the weak links were. Who the real powerhouses were. Who could be pulled over to his side. He trusted at least a couple could be lured - or lured back.

"Do have a pleasant day, Miss Phillips," he said before he turned back to the town hall. He was highly inclined to raid his mothers weaponry - and to see if he could find her poisons.
