(Synn)<br/><br/>As Anthony spoke, the fireplace flames tinged green. Azurine glanced over at the change in color and smiled. He wasn’t telling the complete truth, though had he lied outright, the flames would cease to burn. She took another drink from her glass once he had refilled it, swirling the liquid within as she gazed at her reflection. “Keep your secrets Anthony” she hissed, “If I wanted to know what they were, I would simply take them” she said as she applied pressure in the deepest most reaches of his mind and yet, she did not pry. She waited for the signs of a headache to reach his facial expressions and then she released her grip. She did not come here to fight with him, she came for another reason entirely.<br/><br/><br/>She listened to his question and hesitated in answering it.<i>Come on Azurine, if Maddox learns that you lost your life could be forfeit </i>she thought as she returned her gaze to Anthony’s once more, almost falling into his own pools of wonder. She snapped out of the daze and took another sip, a deep one at that. The alcohol was warming her insides and giving her a bit of lightheadedness which was comforting as her inhibitions started to lower ever so slightly.<br/><br/><br/>“Maddox does not need to know everything I do Anthony” she simply suggested, “I thank you for opening up your home to a former….murderess?” she smirked as she sipped her drink once more, a bit nervous in how she chose her words. “And if I wanted you dead my love, you would certainly be dead” she stated before finishing her glass once again. She set the glass on the table and leaned back gently into the chair, crossing her legs before her and resting her bandaged arms on its padded sides carefully. “And you would have stayed dead” she added.
