It took every ounce of strength that Jake possessed to not punch Lucio's face through the back of his head. He went on about how Jake used to depend on him, which was true. Everything he said was true, there was no reason to deny it now, but his threats seemed to strike a nerve in Lucio.
"True" he said simply. He wasn't going to argue against the obvious. Of course he was only referring to the first part of the statement. He seemed to be convinced that Jake still feared him, or loved him or whatever emotions he thinks he's got over Jake. Regardless of how badly he wanted to prove that wrong, having him think that was to Jakub and Verena's advantage.
Still so full of yourself. The words almost left Jakub's mouth, but he decided to keep that comment to himself.
"But no, i'm not done". Jake rested his back against the closed door as he stared up at the man that was once his entire world. Jakub from the past was such a naive fool. He went from demanding love to demanding fear. Bad decisions all around.
"I didn't come here to threaten you, no need to get all sentimental". The sarcasm oozed out of Jake's words. Creatures like Lucio didn't get sentimental. In order to get sentimental, one has to have emotions. Lucio doesn't know the meaning of that word.
"I came to make a deal, also.." Jake examined the demon from head to toe. He seemed tense, and oddly eager to get rid of him.
"My being here is making you uncomfortable...why is that?". As he recalled it, never in the years of knowing him had Jakub made Lucio uncomfortable.
Eli answered Eliana's question in detail and she smiled.
"Good, just making sure you know". His warning was right though. They had to stay a safe distance from the criminal if they wanted to survive. The society had an antidote for just about every demon bite, scratch and the works, but they had yet to find anything that worked fast enough against Sting's poison. Meaning that if they were stung, they were done for. The streets were completely empty. No demons, not any type of supernatural, and no hunters other than themselves. Everyone was too terrified to come outside, all because of one creature.
"No creature should have this much power" she muttered to herself, not really caring if Eli heard. They continued walking along Elie's usual root for a while but still found absolutely nothing and no one. It was starting to irritate her. To keep herself calm she tried changing the subject.
"So where were you all day today?" She asked her brother curiously. He never said anything about where he went, nor did he answer her question as to why he hadn't answered her messages. That was slightly suspicious.
Verena requested that Matt didn't burn the house down when he cooked. The wolf just smiled and nodded in agreement. She explained to him what to do next with the potatoes and he tried to follow her instructions exactly. He put them in the pot as he had been instructed and began mashing as if his life depended on it. He eventually finished his job and stared at the mush. Was it finished now? He didn't even know if he had done it right. If he was going to cook for her the next day, he would need to do a lot of research. Something like making mashed potatoes shouldn't be this hard to figure out. Perhaps he was just colinarily-impaired, if that was even a thing.
"Am I done?" he asked, eager to eat. His stomach had been protesting for a while now. It was getting louder by the minute.
