Snippet #2750275

Bertram savored the taste of the rats, slurping them down noisily one after another, only pausing to answer Gabrielle's questions. "Yes, I er," The noise of him greedily draining a rat dry punctuated the thought. "Ya sis befriended a very hated Anarch, which tha Prince had condemned ta death. The dirty rat, hehehe." As if reminding himself, the Nosferatu stopped down and took a rat in either hand, crunching the head off one and chewing noisily. "Kept meddlin in affairs 'e'd best not privy ta." His teeth chewed, producing an ugly crunching noise as he did. "If ya dear friend 'ere, Lavi-"

Suddenly the Dark Elf clenched Bertram's throat in her hand, impossibly swift and inhumanly graceful, her hair seemed to float for a second in the movement before settling back down. She raised the Nosferatu slightly off the ground before addressing him, "My NAME is Akshasha, darling, and you shall address me correctly." Bertram squealed for a second as he fought to regain control of the situation, the rat swarm climbing up his legs, gnawing on his flesh as they did, all the way up to his waist. They only stopped when Akshasha released his throat, jumping back down as Mr. Tung's feet hit the ground, and then remaining perfectly still.

Bertram voice came out even hoarser than before, a feat seemingly impossible. "I mean, if tha gorgeous, all-powerful, impossibly kind, witty Scourge of tha Prince were to find tha Kindred yer sis ran with, she'd 'av ta kill show 'em True Death." The ugly fiend put careful emphasis on the last two words. He tapped a claw to his chin, with his hand that wasn't clenching a rodent. "Er, I do seem ta recant a young'un with 'er. If the rumors 'er true, and yes. She was swollen with child, ehehehehe." Bertram let out an eerie chuckle, imagining the taste of not one, but two life's bloods being swallowed in a few instances. "Chil'len's taste good, but a babe and its mum at the same time? Simply 'eavenly!" The deformed creature, satisfied it had answered all curiosities stooped down and began ravenously devouring the rats as fast he could.

Akshasha wrinkled her nose, the thing before her could barely be considered Kindred, and was ready to be rid of him. She began walking out of the alley, the rats moving out of the way of her foot-falls as she did. "If you've finished questioning the ugly beast, Miss LeBeau, I'd gladly be rid of this squalor." She took a drink of the rum, if only to wash the taste of this ugly place from her mouth, while putting her free hand on Gabrielle's shoulder. "Pray tell this ugly business didn't upset you?" The mutant's heartbeat had increased, a sure sign of stress. "After all, we still have a city to scour for Ms. Renee."
