* nolan didn’t bother turning his head, his gaze remaining fixed on the horizon as he floated with an indifference that clearly grated on the blonde man’s nerves. he knew the look. that desperate, performative arrogance, and it felt like staring at a hollow reflection of the lies he had spent centuries perfecting before he finally chose to stop. when he finally spoke, his voice is low, * i don't have to pretend anymore, and neither do you, though i imagine that’s a much harder lesson for you to learn, * he muttered, his eyes narrowing as he finally faced the other man with a cold, unimpressed stare. * you’re still starving for an audience, still waiting for them to love you for a lie, but you're practically a child playing with power you don't have the stomach to actually wield.
