[ he caught the flicker in her eyes—-  the brief hitch,  the way her confidence wavered just a hair .. and it sent a quiet thrill through him.  he’d gotten too close.  too perceptive.  he hated how much he liked that he’d unnerved her,  even as guilt tugged at him for it.  he wasn’t supposed to enjoy this.  he was supposed to stay s͟h͟a͟r͟p̲. ]   win me over?   [ the corners of his lips twitch,  offering the faintest smile,  a right dimple showing.  he brings his cigarette to his lips again—-  a deep inhale then a exhale. ]   c͟a͟r͟e͟f͟u͟l͟.    [ he warns with a playful undertone,  sending her a particular look.  at her question,  something in him closed off.  the playfulness stayed,  but his eyes sharpened,  instincts slipping back into place.  work.  the thing that always ruined good moments. ]    just passing through.  had dinner with a friend.   [ a pause.  his eyes watch his cigarette as he takes one last hit before tossing it on the ground at his feet,  putting it out with his own shoe.  he looks to her once again. ]   and you?

@dearprey    ( … )      [      that   was   the   thing   about   seraphina.   no   one   seemed   to   quite   understand   where   she   stood,   what   “side”   she   was   on,   if   she   was   on   one.   it   made   her   unpredictable.   but   she   could   see   it,   the   way   he   analysed   her   as   if   she   were   a   puzzle   he   needed   to   solve.   like   he   was   just   putting   the   pieces   together.   and   that   unnerved   her   a   little.   at   his   first   comment,   she   couldn’t   help   but   let   out   a   genuine   chuckle.       ]        oh,   I   can’t   help   it,   “wolf”.   I   just   thought   it   would   be   harder   to   win   you   over.     [      her   voice   was   smooth,   like   velvet,   with   an   almost   playful   edge.       ]        what   are    you   doing   out   here,   hm ?

[ the alpha doesn’t move from his position.  he continues to look down to her,  watching carefully.  her question lingers between them,  heavier than she probably intended.  ben studied her for a beat,  really looked this time—-  past the smug smile,  past the confidence she wore like armor.  he doesn’t answer right away.  truth was,  he’d asked himself that same thing since the moment they met.  he’d seen monsters plead.  he’d seen liars smile just like that.  but her?  she didn’t f͟e͟e͟l͟ like either.  dangerous,  sure.  sharp-edged and undoubtedly unpredictable,  but not cruel.  not hallow. ]    well,  i didn’t say you were innocent.    [ finally,  a faint smile  ..  that doesn’t last long. ]    don’t get cocky,  witch.

 ⠀⠀⠀ what’s your plan with that, exactly? are you going to pop a blood vessel?

@bIoodthirst     ( … )      do   you   really   think   / that /   is   all   I   do ?     [      seraphina rose   her   eyebrow,   the   ghost   of   a   smirk   tugging   at   her   lips   as   amusement   shone   within   her   emerald   hues.       ]      how   much   do   you   actually   know   about   witches   that   specialise   in   blood   magic ?

Fallen branches crackled beneath the wait of the huntress’s boots as she strolled through the wooded area ; a shortcut taken to get to the next town in a timely manner. As the sun slowly fell past the trees , night began to take over the clouded sky , a small indication that perhaps it was time to set up camp. Gabrielle did so , spotting a large surrounding of trees that acted as good coverage for the night. 
          
          Once the fire was started , she sat down against the trunk of the largest tree , a sigh of exhaustion leaving her lips as she closed her eyes for a brief moment , only to open them abruptly to a sound nearby. It was quiet but Gabrielle had extremely keen senses , nothing got past her hearing ability. “Who’s out there , show yourself now.”
