Snippet #1660068

Verda smiled at her wit. It was a refreshing surprise, he found those that lacked it dreadfully dull and not worth his time. He was glad that his valuable time invested in waiting for her had proven of some worth. She had a soft accent, European, he supposed, but he was unsure from which part. It did not sound eastern European such as Romanian, so it had to be more western European. Interesting, an accent that he could not place.. That was unacceptable. There was nothing that he could not accomplish. It was yet another thing he would have to discover.

"My fair lady. Of course I must lower myself closer to your level to speak with you. How else would I hear something so low?" He said back. It was an insult in turn, although he was sure she would not mind or even care for the matter. He simply said it out of necessity. Such little slights on him must always be answered. If it was a witty insult, one must be given back in turn, and so on. She should feel honored. He deemed her worthy enough to give her a response. Was it wrath who said such things, although he doubted the brute could muster the wit, then he would have simply laughed at him and moved on. They were all like insects. A fly sitting on the wall giving a quiet buzz. It was simply not worth the effort of swatting, so far only Lust, Envy, and Sloth had proven themselves amusing enough to be far to good to be mere insects.

He meet her dead eyes. Where her eyes were dead, his eyes were alight with amusement and life. "Perhaps she has rubbed off on me. Although." He paused "If I wished for physical contact, I would merely stay with her, or that delighting Envy." He only said such since he knew the so said woman in green was near. "Rose is a beauty beyond compare, with more to her then I originally thought. Compared to her you are.. Well, that would be rude to continue wouldn't it?" He said with a soft smirk. He looked over at Envy, although still speaking to Sloth. "Envy.. oh, how I adore my little envy."

He stopped. "But I am here with you for reasons, I myself have yet to understand. Fascinating." He said although it was unsure if it was said for himself or for her. "I am Tal Verda." He said at last. He would have bowed to her, however, he was already crouched, and he would have done so for very few others. "And as iv said before my lovely woman, and I do hate to be kept waiting. Who might you be?"
