Isley, my dear...

[This expression, this smile? Entirely predatory. Cat with a canary. Riful looks completely relaxed and satisfied, with her chin propped up on one hand and Mist swirling all around her.]It's awfully unlike you to be so negligent as to lose track of your pets

[ Raki. ]

You've dug yourself a hole too deep to crawl out of this time, Riful.

[ It's a wonder his voice can sound so airy and soft when the force of his yoki is swelling outward and inundating everything. ]

[silence]

[Riful could also be referring to Yachiru. Or even Zack. Doubtful, but she's compelled to turn on video. She says nothing because she'd rather not say it at all, but after what happened with Clare (and what she'd heard about Senji) fuck taking chances. Just looking at you, Isley. You're smart, you should know that she's offering ...help. A little reluctantly. Don't make her say it.]

[ Isley is sure she means Raki. The young man's broadcast dream the other day, and Riful's sudden interest in it, in him, is all the proof that he needs. ]

[ As for Irene, he almost tells her to go away...but she could be useful. She can lead Raki to safety while he slowly dismembers Riful, for example. ]

Very well.

[A near imperceptible nod. She'll follow whatever instructions he gives ...within reason. He's doubtlessly a monster, and there is no love lost between them, but he has shown the seemings of kindness to a fair few. And if those few are in danger from another monster, one who has already killed for possibly nothing more than to draw Priscilla's ire, to get under her skin - she'll side with Isley. She's not particularly concerned with her own safety, either. That's another story.

She arcs a brow, inclines her head. Ah, yes, the beginnings of an expression. Of expectance. Questions of where and when.]

[neutral as she is on this whole thing, if your starting shit causes collateral to people she likes - you are so dead, riful. so:]

I believe this mistake will cost you.

[riseinthewest]

There's always cost involved, isn't there?

[Pfft, what mistake?]

[thenobledie]

Few are as steep as this one will be.

[riseinthewest]

Do I strike you as someone who is afraid to take risks?

[onequarter]

Riful.

[riseinthewest]

Something to say?

[onequarter]

[ something to shout, actually. ]

That human is not your toy.

[riseinthewest]

[She could feign ignorance, but there's no point, really.]

Did I ever say he was? I believe I called him Isley's pet.

[yetsleeping]

...w...what are you doing?

[riseinthewest]

What does it look like I'm doing?

[yetsleeping]

Starting a confrontation you can't win.

[riseinthewest]

Why on earth would you think that? I'm merely giving him advice.

[prescientblade]

Things were so much simpler when you were all too lazy to come out of hiding.

[Said with an edge to her voice, because she knows nothing you have to smile about can be good.]

[riseinthewest]

But much more boring, don't you think?

[prescientblade]

I managed to keep things lively enough.

What do you have this time?

[riseinthewest]

Something Isley misplaced.
