Victor's head swayed side to side at her question. He never wished to be without her presence. He also did not wish she ever be left alone with Jeff. However much a brother the creature was to him, having been the only to understand his plight in the world aside from their misshapen brother that had yet to be seen.<br/><br/>Jeff eyed her quietly with his unblinking gaze, his black tongue slithering against the shark's teeth in his skull. She was quite different than any of his brother Slendy's other victims.<br/><br/>"She feeds from you, Slendy" He says to the towering creature, chuckling, looking around at the chamber, having not stood in this room for many years, not since before Victor had exiled himself to the forests. "But I suppose you feed her, more like, hmm?" He chuckles. He did not accept the seat, instead wandering the room, content in his curiosities, his pale fingers falling over the black harlequin mask on the table, his head tilting curiously tot he side, picking it up slowly. His fingers ran over the face in silence, observing the down turned, depressed expression in deep red on the stiff black cloth. He began to laugh, eyeing her. His mind always seemed in motion.<br/><br/>"My..you ARE different, aren't you? " he looked back to the mask. "You aren't some servant like the harlequin fools downstairs...this mask is quite special.." he mutters, tracing the shape and material. "Light, soft..not hard and imprisoning like the others...it breathes and adheres to your shape instead of obscuring it...hehehehe..he wants to hide you away behind it, not uniform you with it." He chortles, eyeing Victor. "Quite taken with her, hmm?...alright then.." he says softly, setting the mask down. His tone denoted a protectiveness toward victor and his sensibilities, like a sibling being protective and probing toward a new mate for his brother. His tone was almost like a quiet acceptance of conditions that kept her from being a target. He sighs, sliding his hands into the pockets of his ragged jeans.<br/><br/>"There must be a reason I'm here..." His eternally grinning face contradicted the concern in his voice.  "our links do not call out to one another unless there is true danger on the horizon...unless there is a threat to our existence. He spoke with a certainty that denoted a level of personal investment in the reasoning behind their being in this world. Despite his child like ways and appearance, his mind seemed ever evolving and he was ever seeking answers. The eternally expanding mind behind that horrible face had played a hand in crushing concepts of empathy, sympathy, and compassion in his spirit. He had become quite the vicious and efficient killer.<br/><br/>Victor watched in silence, tendrils still nestled about Sarah's frame, keeping her near him. He had known Jeff's mind to be superbly prying and on a constant hunt for further information. His grip on her tightens at Jeff's next words.<br/><br/>"I am sure now more than ever that rake will be joining us..." The creature spoke, staring out the window. he chuckled, looking slowly to sarah. "I would keep near Slendy...our brother isn't so...discerning of his targets as I..." he said with a laugh which denoted that such a thing was saying a lot." If he doesn't fully understand that you belong to him, you'll end up food" He poke matter of factly before chuckling at the image, muttering under his breath. "mmm what a pretty portrait..." the macabre fashion in which his thoughts flowed having painted a vivid image of the woman strung across the floors and walls, her blood like paint, organs and flesh a canvas for the art he created with his blades.  He stroked his chi quietly as eh was lost in the thought.<br/><br/>Victor noticeably huffed, seeing that look on his face. He then frowns as he thinks of their brother coming as well, holding her tightly against him. Rake was even more ancient than he, Jeff being the youngest yet most intelligent among them, even though his sanity had been crushed beneath said intelligence. These thoughts fell into Sarah's mind as he held her before his rasping voice entered.<br/><br/>'stay...at my side....Rake...hell-brother....vicious...ancient....animal..." He murmurs in broken thoughts, his connection a bit weak because of scattered thoughts.
