This man was no ordinary human of that Veronica was positive.  His strength was a dead give away to her.  No normal person could have broken her grip the way he had unless she had wanted him too.  If he was to be an enemy to her, it would be very foolish for her to underestimate him.  Strong though she was, she knew that their we're creatures with greater power than her own who could kill her in the blink of an eye if they we're of a mind to.  She didn't think this strange man whom she had seen many time before was of that caliber of strength but it would not be an easy fight for her either.  For now it seemed like he was willing to talk, but her muscles remained tensed to spring at a moments notice should she need to defend herself.  She watched him as he slide the dagger back into its sheath.  "No, to tell you the truth I don't have any idea who you are, though I have seen you a few times before now," Veronica replied conversationally a slight edge to her voice.  "As for what I'm doing here now, I was simply passing though on my way to visit my mother...."  He voice broke an octave and then she controlled herself.  "I saw you threatening her." she indicated to Lexie.  "I'm not fond of those who bully women mister....."  her tone was subtly threatening<br/><br/>Not taking her eyes off Drake she spoke to Lexie.  "Are you alright?"  she asked her.  "He didn't hurt you did he?'  She was sure that he the dagger had not punctured the skin.  She would have smelled the blood if it had and yet it never hurt to check.<br/><br/>
