Shiiiit, things are starting to seriously unravel, folks!!

HaRi sucked in and released a long breath before she swept into Wonwoo's office, plastering a confident smile on her face for his benefit, hoping to all that was holy that he didn't see through her facade.

"HaRi!" He said with an easy smile on his handsome face, his hands splayed in welcome.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you?" she asked, and softly pulled the scarf from her neck.

"Of course not!" He boomed brightly. "I'm always happy to see my favourite witch." He bade her to sit down as he headed to his liquor cabinet to pour them each a little dram.

HaRi unbuttoned her jacket and sat languidly on the dark blue plush leather upholstered chair.
Wonwoo hummed to himself as he poured the drinks and sauntered casually over to where the beautiful witch was sitting and handed her the glass. She accepted it graciously, her dark eyes momentarily mesmerised by the amber contents, before tentatively taking a few small sips.

"Not that I'm unhappy to see you," the elder said with a small quirk of his lips, "but may I ask what the purpose of your visit is?"

"I've been thinking a lot about what you said," she answered, her eyes gazing into his sharp, dark ones. "And I think I'm ready."

"Ready?" He asked, a little amused smile played on his lips.

HaRi nodded and downed the rest of her drink, and proceeded to roll the crystal cut glass in her hands, her throat burning from the shot of alcohol.

Wonwoo regarded her quietly for a moment, his eyes scanning every move she made, scrutinising every single little nuance of her facial expression, looking for deceit on some level. On any level. "Ready for what, may I ask?"

"To help you achieve your goal," she spoke hurriedly and leaned a little forward in her seat and raised her glass to him. "May I have another?"

The elder only smiled and retrieved the glass from her cool, slim fingers, his gaze holding hers momentarily before he chortled a little, stood up and headed back to the drinks cabinet. His mind working overtime as he poured another measure into the glass for her.

"Not that I don't trust you or anything, but," he said with a smile as he made his way back over and handed her her libation, "could you be a little more specific?"

He lounged back in his chair, crossing his legs and watched as she chugged back the second drink, his lips twisting in amusement. Whatever she was about to say obviously didn't sit that well with her. Not that he cared as long it was something that went a ways to helping him get what he wanted.

"I'm saying that I'll help you shut down the town and recreate another somewhere else-"

"So you're suddenly okay with me culling the human population and forcing the town to move?" He asked the question in its most basic terms, and he didn't miss the blanched expression of her face.

"Straight to the point as ever," she commented coolly and placed her glass on the small table at her side. "But, yes. I'll help you do what's necessary. I have one stipulation though."

"Which is?" Wonwoo asked, lifting a curious brow as he smiled at her.

"That you don't inform the witch council nor the elders until it's too late." She breathed softly, her dark eyes glistened. "They wont approve and it will only hinder any progress I make."

"Not a problem," he told her, smiling easily. "Forgive me though, but I'm finding this hard to take on board. And by that I mean, what's with the sudden turn around?"
