@lostinluck ( … ) [ selene didn’t care much for the mess. she was more fixated on suki’s first statement. “ let’s pretend I wasn’t here “… that single phrase had lodged itself in selene’s mind like a thorn, pricking at her curiosity. it carried the weight of secrecy, the suggestion of something deliberately concealed. her fingers drummed a slow, deliberate rhythm against her folded arms, the sound sharp in the silence. head tilted, she prowled in a slow circle around the other woman, every step measured, predatory. ] trap you ? now that’s a touch dramatic, don’t you think ? you’re not a prisoner here. you can walk away whenever you wish… but before you do, I require something. a small favor. and then— [ her lips curved into a sly smile. ] —perhaps we can indulge your little fantasy, pretend you were / never here at all /. [ she stopped directly in front of suki, the air between them charged. her smile widened, revealing the glint of sharp, polished fangs that caught the light like blades. the hybrid’s voice dropped lower, more intimate, almost conspiratorial. ] you work at the casino. and I happen to need information on someone who’s a regular.

the soft click of the door felt louder than it should’ve. suki didn’t show it, but her nerves drew tight, her instincts whispering that she should’ve slipped out sooner— before this woman decided to trap them both in the same room. she forced her shoulders to stay loose, turning just enough to face the other woman fully.
“ oh , ” she said lightly, “ so we’re doing the whole mysterious-lady-blocking-my-exit routine. wasn’t expecting that today. ” her eyes scanned the room without making it obvious she was mapping escape routes. the woman’s confidence, the little smirk, the amusement glittering in her eyes— none of it felt casual. people didn’t close doors like that unless they wanted something specific.
“ you clearly didn’t trap me in here for a chat about housekeeping, ” suki continues, her voice soft, even, but edged with a quiet readiness. her comedic remarks don’t stop there. “ don’t worry, i already called my clean up crew. but we should probably talk about why y̲o͟u͟’̲r͟e͟ here. surely not by accident. so, what is it that you want, hm? ”

@lostinluck ( … ) now look what we have here… [ selene smirked, the corners of her crimson lips curling upwards as she folded her arms over her chest. amusement glittered across her dark hues as she closed the door behind her, taking a few steps further inside the room. ] hm, and why should I do that, darling ? I don’t see how I get anything out of it. [ she hummed with feigned innocence, shrugging her shoulders casually. the hybrid tutted. ] you’ve certainly made / quite / the mess.
