"I know what you are," he simply stated.
His green eyes stop storming but never looked at her easily, his eyebrows furrowed as he waited for an answer. Clio hadn't noticed he'd dropped the tight grip of her wrist, and breathed hoping to inhale some knowledge.

"I don't smell it on you. Its not running through your veins and pumping around your heart. If the room was silent I wouldn't even be able to hear your heart beat, you don't make me want to rip you apart."
