"As you wish, dear childe." Kiju said in a tone that sounded faintly crestfallen as Michael refused her offer without the intention of negotiating.<br/><br/>The sidhe woman watched after the retreating gypsy even as the profaned man spoke to her.  "I have spoke to no one in this range apart from you three and I have already spoken of what it is I do to earn my tribute. None others have come to speak with me and that is why I suspected you were among those that resided in the village, thus falling under my protection." Kiju turned her head in profile to Tolbar, the emotions behind them enigmatic. "Had I but known I was not bound to you as a guardian during our first meeting, our encounter would have played out much differently and most assuredly not in your favor, demonkin." There was no overt threat of menace to her words, if any were present at all, since her tone was spoken matter of factly and without any hint of uncertainty as to his fate.
