How far I'll go
She did not trust him when he claimed no fault for Bel's murder and gave no care for his deflection of blame onto her other "uncle." Mammon narrowed her eyes as he spoke of her father's relation with Gabriel, she had not yet forgiven her father for his misstep either but she would not let that show on her face. The last thing the vixen expected from one of her righteous "family" was sympathy. Almost out of instinct her face shifted to a mask of confusion and wariness. He stepped towards her and Mammon twitched her ears back briefly, her gaze widening but her aggression was tempered, fizzling out to cautious defensiveness... Or at least that was what she played.

She hadn't even had to do anything, he'd offered himself up her of his own free will and now all she had to do was play into his expectations as the shining savior. She had no real intention of accepting his olive branch but it couldn't hurt to have him think she would back him... Better make it convincing! "Wh- Why?" She asked, her voice softening into a mixture of fear and pain. "Why now?" |
