Oh, she was quite the riot and yet, Naburus remained indifferent to it all. Patiently awaiting for her to be done speaking her mind, still allowing her some peace in distance between them.<br/><br/><strong>”Silly Zoe. You presume all of those that fallen from grace weave similar stories. That I know nothing of the intentions of mortals, some of their own darkest and hidden desires? You may be right that I live a sheltered existence, but it is one far more than you may fathom. Hell? Oh a demon I am, but my <em>job</em> training doesn’t, or rather, can’t allow me to explore what my realm has to offer. Does this narrow my insight on humanity? Nay, I gather plenty from every rebellious soul that dares to accept their fate, those I must reap and condemn. Such does allow me to see episodes of their histories, as annoying as they are and I have seen many evils, from many creatures, ’human’ and beast alike. Man, woman, child, I have seen it all and most of the stories their crimes weave. Some outright murders, rapists, others that betrayed their comrades for a taste of power, be it political, physical, or something else of the like. Humans are capable of the greatest of evils.”</strong><br/><br/>He idly shrugged it off as he approached her once more, heading directly towards her; before angling to past her, unless she may retreat again to another side of the room. She wasn’t his primary focus at the time, his eyes already exploring other things within the study as he was gradually becoming bored with her putting off of cooperation.<br/><br/><strong>”Don’t you see, you are already those things. Instead of cooperating, you make more demands, even now you are resisting me. Lack of trust is a failure in any partnership. Is this a trait all humans share, hmm? Are you afraid I will assault you after you unveil yourself or that I will not keep my own word? If it is the former, then I daresay, I would of already staked my own claim upon you if I wished it.”</strong><br/><br/>He paused, shifting and turning, leaning himself against a desk now. His arms crossed over his chest, his eyes focused upon her.<strong>”Is such the creatures I will be serving and saving? Unwilling cowards? If you are resisting out of <em>pride</em> then know this. I do this out of my own distaste for your kind, giving my name is as much, if not more, of an insult to me. Baring your body to me first is the compensation of that knowledge and power I will give you. For me to trust you, you will have to trust me.  Otherwise, you will just have to force it from me and I promise you this, it will be an ugly relationship between us.”</strong>His voice warned; though he didn‘t care if she heeded it or not. The choices now were up to her and here he was, presenting the her with one last chance to make her choice.
