Really now, you should set a better example for the others. Ciel's quite impressionable, you know. [ Okay, maybe not, but she can't help but treat him like a kid.
[Another Aspect walks the streets this night. Malygos chose the more humanoid visage he carried in his arsenal. But the Spellweaver is tired -- tired and angry. With all the vampires running about flinging their new powers and making more of themselves, he can barely keep up.
But that's not what catches his attention -- instead it is the strange aura that appears to be surrounding his sister (or what appears to be her). The old dragon takes a breath and straightens, narrowing yellow eyes.]
[ It definitely looks like her. But there's no longer an aura of love and compassion, no longer magics woven around her form to shield her dragon body. She's as good as human...or would be had the bacillus not been in her blood.
Alex doesn't look that good though, because when she comes to a stop at the sound of her name and looks up, with it's hooded eyes that, even if they see him, seem to be staring at something else; slightly unfocused. ]
[...what the fuck. WHAT THE FUCK. Malygos promptly appears disgusted at her mannerisms, the way she carries herself, and the slurry of dark magic that coats her skin.
She smells of the Destroyer, though the spell that holds her is foreign. still, its enough to cause elven lips to pull back, revealing pointed teeth.]
[ ...He reminds her of The Nightmare. Not visibly, but it's something...something about him, which drains some of the lucidness from her eyes and causes her gaze to shift to some invisible form over his shoulder ]
I need more power--We...do. Even if it burns, I have to. [ It sounds more like she's trying to have a conversation with several people at once than talk to Malygos, but every so often her gaze will flicker his way rather than randomly. She takes a step to the side despite her will to move forwards. ]
[Cross may have only dealt with that darkness-enfused individual for no more than five minutes, tops, but clearly Alexstrasza had spent much more time with him. Whatever ability the opponent had, it was powerful enough to overwhelm the lieutenant in more than just a physical way.
After he delivered her quite a number of terrans, he went to go get some for himself, not staying out for too long. Ugh, do not want to run into that guy again thank you very much!
More than happily satiated now, the redhead moves over to her and takes a seat by her.] Alexstrasza.
[ She doesn't move when she hears her name and feels his presence, but her gaze does shift a bit--and there's a subtle acknowledgment in her frame as she continues to watch light reflect in spilled blood ]
[He picks up on that subtle acknowledgment, which is all he needs. Even with more then enough terrans to satisfy her, terran blood alone would not stop whatever was plauging her mind. Hell, the bacillus did not seem to be helping, either.
After a moment, Cross silently offers his hand to her.]
[ Her gaze darts quickly and without meaning when she catches the gesture out of the corner of her eye--almost like she's determined not to look at him. But despite all of that her body moves of its own conviction, albeit shaking, and places hers atop his own.
The touch is not firm and sure like it should be. ]
[Our beautiful base, noooo )8 How could you get it so messy. This douchebag pauses in the hallway, taking a look around and... sighing. So... gross...]
[And then the Lieutenant catches his eye, and... well... he is just too curious not to head on over even if his steps are careful and measured around all the gore. Crouches down in front of her once he manages to get over there, tilting his head slightly as if to catch her eye]
You look like shit. [...man, look at all that tact]
[ THESE KEYWORDS SAY DIFFERENT OKAY ;A; but she'll only look in his direction after a delay of several seconds, eyes drifting around behind him until they eventually settle upon him. Even then she's silent for several seconds. ]
[...huh. Well that doesn't... worry him exactly. Worry is a sort of foreign concept to him in this state, but he does frown slightly and reach forward, grabbing the cloth at her shoulder and... holding her steady enough to look into her eyes]
[Of course he can't see what's going on in her head, but it's not for lack of trying with how hard he's looking]
The Nightmare, it was.... [ except she is without words to describe what it was, and she gaze shifts hastily to the side, up, down--following something only she seems able to see. ]
