Rose had seen that same darn predatory smile cross Varian's lips for a moment. Seeing this through his long lashes. He was watching him without looking like he was. He just listened. Standing where he was. The wet strands dancing across the floor whereas when dry they hovered above it. Nodding his head. Yes he had seen. He had never met a shifter before. Some were quite evil. He didn't say anything though. He opened his eyes and looked at him. Not fond of him was putting it gently and lightly. He strongly disliked the man. Yes the man did prefer he stayed with him. he had made it quite clear on that before the party.<br/><br/>However, he visably tensed when he said that Darius would probably go after him even if he left. Just to incur his brother's wrath. Quite the twisted fellow his brother was. He pursed his silken lips together. His distaste for that scenario quite clear. Though he visually recoiled and withdrew further when he mentioned his brother's roughness. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. He thought to himself. It was a no win scenario. He sighed and shook his head. "I don't like either scenario." he paused. "If I had to pick my poison I suppose I'll have to stay with you." He said reluctantly.<br/><br/>"I won't be a prisoner to a room. If I stay I don't want to have to hide in a room all the time. I want freedom to move around. To visit the beautiful gardens the maids said you have inside the castle. A garden would be a beautiful place to sing and dance." he said softly.  He looked at Varian crossly. "Don't forget I'm picking the lesser evil poison. Both options were still deadly unwanted poisons." He said in that firey tone he usually had.
