Drakari watched the woman taking in her appearance. Most thought that emotional baggage and internal scars never showed on the outside. They were idiots. Morons of the stupidest level. Every scar was visible if one knew what to look for. In the mannerism, in speech patterns. In the way one reacted to a threat, or how one expected betrayal even from friends. What was perhaps the most surprising of all was that Drakari spoke. Something he did so rarely that to have uttered another sentence yet again to this woman was something that would shock his gang of friends. Friends. Not entirely something he ever really thought about. Sure he had them, but he expected a knife int he back the first chance they got rather then a pleasant word from them. A hard life. A deadly life.<br/><br/>“Family is the first to betray, and the first to bleed you dry,” he said so softly it was like the night breeze barely audible and he’d be surprise if she even heard him. Not that much surprised him. He could tell from looking at her that she was a capable fighter, maybe even as capable as her thread allotted. He never underestimated an opponent, so until given his own tests he would assume she was quite capable of taking him. Even if that isn’t the case, it is irrelevant. The first mistake is to underestimate your opponent. He could also see she had been scared by her past if not as bad as he had at least close enough to be on the same page.<br/><br/>He raised one brow at her words. The first expression outside of dispassionate cold he had shown since he’d first appeared. A single raised brow as if to say, ‘oh really.’ He did however let the blade retreat back up his arms and into their hidden sheaths even faster then the eye could fallow. He walked slowly up to her counter and leaned in so he was in her personal space when he spoke two words.<br/><br/>“Deathfire Whiskey,” he said, an alcohol so potent it was illegal and deadly, not to mention it could be used to strip paint or remove rust from lead. It was usually set alight to intensify the flavor and make it that much more deadly.
