The flames of the tourches dimmed slightly, a sign of her displeasure, as at the moment she couldn't frown. She looked at him for a moment, slightly upset that he'd asked for another person. She'd already picked their victim out, and he wanted to change? Labyrinth did not approve.<br/><br/>It was because of his preference toward men, she knew. He would pick a male over a female any day. In most cases, she wouldn't have minded, but he was directly disreguarding an order, and ignoring a question she'd asked. "No." she finally answered, the walls breathing the words, "We may not go to him. I picked someone out for you to pratice on, and you want to go play with someone else? No. Perhaps you may learn from example, because you don't seem to want to listen to me."<br/><br/>With a snap of her bony fingers, she sent him to another part of the maze, far from her. With a thought, she closed off that part, so he couldn't get out. Then, she summoned another creature, one of her favorites, to deal with him.<br/><br/>She slipped back into her human form. Finally, she approached the woman, "Hello, Madeline." she purred, smiling, "Are you lost, my dear? I heard you calling."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Nathaniel had been wandering the loathsome halls, hopping<em>her highness</em>would be oh so kind as to allow him someone to feed off from. "Stupid bitch." he muttered darkly, angry and frustrated at the lack of humans. Everyone else most likely had a victim, she was probably leaving him out just to spite him. Oh, he hated her....<br/><br/>Suddenly, he was rudely yanked from where he'd been, shoved into a small one room part of the maze. His eyes instantly focused  on the bat creature at the center of the room, narrowing in discust. "Is that a hint, my fair<em>lady?</em>" he growled darkly, his wings flexing a little. Ah well, food was food, even if it was from her dog. The thing loved her, he knew. Why anyone would like that<em>thing,</em>he'd never knew. He wondered what the creature had done to make her angry, for there was no other reason for her to trap him with one of the creatures, as opposed to a human. "Well, pup." he greeted sarcastically, "Seems you need to be punished. Your dear mother decided I wasn't good enough for an actual human. Pity, for you."
