Talia disliked the direction of the conversation, she disliked how he managed to always turn things on her. He was good at that, he somehow always seemed to make her feel guilty. Her mind was a mixture of turmoil and confusion as she attempted to reign in her emotions, almost as soon as she had reacted to him in the way she had. She knew he would turn it on her once more, it seemed to be something that he was good at, he could spin her on her head and make her feel like was the one at fault.<br/><br/>She was doing this for her, even if she wanted to deny that fact. This job had been her dream for as long as she could remember, so when the chance to escape her family and set out on her own had arisen she had taken it. Happy almost to be free of the sadness and depression that seemed to settle upon their family with her sister around. How fucked up was that she had run away because she didn’t want to deal with her sister’s turmoil and depression over being raped. What the hell was wrong with her. She stood up regardless she needed to get out of here, away from him.<br/><br/>His raised voice made her almost stumble in place but she managed to keep herself in place as she looked over towards him. She swallowed as she nodded softly, he had produced a lot of work. Most of it of her tormented face in various forms. Images she never wanted to see the light of day, if she could help it. Her face flushed a brilliant red as he mentioned her reliability on her keeping the job, in reality, she knew it was the truth, if she messed this up, she would be finished in the industry at least in this city. She would have to move all over again, start from nothing again.<br/><br/>Her eyes met his as she took a deep breath even as he told her to go ahead and leave, she watched as she continued to eat the pizza, her eyes settling on his lips before she spoke. Her voice soft and calm, almost like one would talk to a wild animal, after all that's Culler was, a Monster. “ My end of the deal? Perhaps you can tell me what you expect of me then? I am trying, but I have to do the other side of this job too. Otherwise regardless of what you say, I’ll still lose it.” she was attempting to be smart, she was attempting to find a way to calm the beast.<br/><br/>Otherwise, she feared what she would return to afterward, his first encounter with her had been anything but gentle, then again his second hadn’t been much better. This whole thing was fucked up. Her mind was a mess, he had somehow managed to sneak inside and pull and prod at all the pieces that she was so desperately attempting to hold together. She paused in place as she bit on her bottom lip softly, nibbling upon the tender flesh.
