<br/>​</div><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">To tell the whole truth, she was more hurt by being called a gremlin rather than the fingers digging into the sensitive skin of her throat. <br/>
<br/>
She knew he’d let her go, the same way that she had known that he would’ve put on a show of power for her. Against her? Either way, it didn’t matter, because as the endless depths of his eyes bored into hers, she felt the hairs on her skin rise from excitement rather than fear. Vampires were so carnal in their presence, everything about their appearance spoke of desire and want and need; although of course, she knew that no matter what they tried to put up, the prideful creatures, they were the ones that craved most of all. <br/>
<br/>
She flashed her own teeth at him in a wide smile, gently releasing the glamour over her numerous sharp teeth as his digits pressed harder into her neck. “Any price you take from me would have you swimming in debt, and fae don’t let debts go unpaid.” She said softly as he finally let her go, her voice somewhat scratchy before she cleared her throat. When the assistant came back in, Alverie didn’t bother hiding an intensely annoyed look. Here she was doing business, and he was about to leave for a meal? Rude. Crude. And with no doubt in her mind, lewd as well. She let her gaze rest on the vampire in front of her, bringing a finger to her lips up in appraisal, not bothering to put the glamour back over her teeth. He was one vampire; according to Parish, he was old as fuck and had been through some shit, but there were more ways than straight up fights to drive a man of the night mad and submit to defeat. <br/>
<br/>
Of course, it would’ve been much, MUCH, easier with the help of the Court, but if she had to walk back there into Anthony’s smug fat face asking for help, she was going to end up murdering the other fae first. And murder within their own never went over well for Fae. They were civilized, unlike...some other races. However, this did put her in a situation that left her fending for herself, needing to take on this stuck-up sucker with no backup. Doable. It was always doable. She hadn’t made a name for herself by not doing the impossible.<br/>
<br/>
“I rather think I’ll stay and get acquainted with the place.” She played with the top hem of her dress, right above her breasts, to get his attention, while her other hand reached for some keys on the desk behind her. “I’ll be coming around a lot more, my dear vampire lord. And...come on. Tell the truth. Wouldn’t you like seeing more of this around?” She lined up her cleavage, keeping her lips curled in the mischievously alluring smile that fae were famous for perfecting.  <br/>
<br/>
The keyring slipped between her fingers and quickly disappeared thanks to a tiny spark of magic. “Really, don’t mind me, love. I wouldn’t want to put you off your dinner, although I will say that if you don’t make this a hard business transaction, I could arrange for you to have much tastier meals than….oyster-fed humans.” Her eyebrows twitched in amusement, glancing over at the secretary too. “Is that why she’s still human? Do you feed from her as well?”<br/>

(ooc note: bit shorter since she's engaging in convo and I don't want her to get too far ahead without his responses!)</span>
