The smile on Taika’s expression widened.<br/><br/>“Dear Stryke, you always know how to please a woman,” she replied In a sultry tone, showing her approval. She then waved over the bartender for a refill of her drink. The bartender held up his hand to signal ‘one moment’, and she frowned. Shaking her head, she then shifted her position on her seat slightly so she was completely facing Stryke. “As long as it means getting rid of him, I will, without question, go with that plan.” Her smile faded slightly, but only for a moment as it returned in the form of a smirk.<br/><br/>Her attention was turned away from Stryke when the bartender finally came and refilled her drink. It seems she was not at the top of his list, and she made a mental note to remind everyone, dragon and human alike, just who was in charge around here. She was already annoyed by how things had gone today and did not need any more things bothering her. Hopefully wit wouldn’t come down to it, but she never knew. The amount of disrespect around her was becoming more and more of an annoyance every day.<br/><br/>But that was something Taika would deal with later. Right now, it was more important that she and Stryke found a way to get Alan out of the picture.<br/><br/>Taika took a sip of her drink, “Now, where were we?” She questioned, looking as though, for a moment, she had forgotten. “Oh, yes, that’s right. Getting rid of Alan.” She smiled again, looking as devious as she always did whenever she would come up with plans. Stryke had given her just the edge she needed to go about what was on her mind, and she wasn’t hesitating showing it. “We should make it look like an accident. Or perhaps a deal gone wrong. I know many who are displeased with the way Alan always seems to get what he wants, without consequence.”<br/><br/>That was highly annoying. The very thought made her even more glad that they were going to be getting rid of him.<br/><br/>“I want to feel his bones crushing beneath my heels…” she said through gritted teeth. “I might even decorate my office with his blood afterward.” Her latter statement was… playful, to describe it in one word. With a chuckle, further showing her playfulness, she added, “What do you think? If we’re going to get him booted I think the people I have in mind would be a great help.”
