[ Oh my god. He's not even stable right now. :| ]

What.

[temerate]

[ baby you keep calling and hanging up SHY BOYS WITH CRUSHES DO THIS ]

You sound upset.

[instrumented]

[ Seething forever. ]

How observant of you.

[temerate]

I do my best to keep an eye on you.

[instrumented]

And I do my best to ignore your presence. I told you, back off.

[temerate]

I cannot do that.

[instrumented]

Why.

[temerate]

You are not human.

[instrumented]

You're right. I'm a hunter. And I can watch over myself.

[temerate]

...a hunter of our kind.

[instrumented]

[ barely contained. his jaw is tight, teeth clenched; a tiny part of it might be out of pain, however, oddly so. although faint, there's a crack of wood splintering somewhere in the near distance. ]

Of sick freaks like yourself.

[temerate]

[ angrily ]

You have allowed yourself to become a pet of the humans. A slave, catering to their fear of us.

[instrumented]

"Allowed"?

[ he nearly laughs. there's more splintering of wood, but this time it's his fist slamming into the wall next to him. ]

Do not associate your kind with myself. And don't you dare speak to me as if you know! I did not allow for any of this.

Private.

[temerate]

Then tell me.

There is no one here who cares more about your fate than I, Zero, even if you choose to hate me. I am bound to watch over all non-human creatures.

Even those that were once human.

Private.

[instrumented]

[ 'tch. And suddenly, in ways, Eko reminds him of the one he hates more than anything. ]

And it's my fate to execute as many unruly bloodsuckers as I'm allowed.

What becomes of my life here is no one's business but my own.

Private.

[temerate]

[ patiently ]

You cannot kill me. There is only one who can, and he is not here.
