The warm, easy atmosphere of the kitchen plummeted to glacial temperatures when Dmitri stepped into the kitchen. He hadn't expected anything less and the loud jack hammering of the man's heart was like music to the vampire's ears. The man looked on the point of bolting from the room, but he not only stood his ground but he never looked away. Dmitri didn't imagine it was easy, but the man's gaze didn't once waver. Which in turn drew a pleased smile from the vampire.<br/><br/>He couldn't help the sharp bark of laughter at the mention of him being not being a fair master. He couldn't help it. The man who had been dealt a shitty hand in life was the one speaking of<i>fairness</i>.<br/><br/>"You speak of fairness and yet it would be your actions that drag Reyna into this. It's quite simple really," he held up one hand, "You don't run, Reyna is safe." He held up the other hand, "You run, and you've made the deliberate decision to leave her to suffer for your actions. I never inflict undue punishment. Actions have consequences, little rabbit. And more times than not, those consequences effect not only yourself but others." With every step Dmitri took forward, Noah took one back and so they danced the dance, until there was no where else for the dark haired youth to go and Dmitri pressed into his personal space. "And you are correct, I've never been called reasonable." He didn't bother to respond to Noah claiming he'd never ask him anything directly. It didn't deserve a response. If there was one thing he knew, it was that humans were curious creatures. Curious to a fault. And it no doubt would take a while, given the man's open animosity, but he'd eventually succumb to his ingrained need to know. Dmitri didn't doubt it for a second. All in good time.<br/><br/>"You didn't enjoy it?" The question was voiced with genuine incredulity, though the amused glint in the vampire's ice green gaze gave him away. "I'll admit I have a few ideas, but I'm more curious as to what you'll offer me." Reaching up, he brushed cool fingers along the man's neck, "Get creative, I don't appreciate lackluster offerings."<br/><br/>The moment Dmitri had turned his full and undivided attention on Noah, Reyna had melted into the background, knowing better than to butt in when the vampire got like this. She was all too familiar with the sadistic twinkle in his eye and she was sorry for Noah. The one silver lining was that at least Dima wasn't angry.
