get ahead of myself

"it does if I take a liking to you." Desdemona purred with a chuckle. the woman shouldn't expect her to roll over for her, they just met after all. the opinions of another woman were often better than a man's. they tended to be brutish and reckless. she suspected that the woman before her was tired of conversations with her niece. so it appeared the girl was quite young after all. lucky for this one, she had no use for a child. even if an opportunity presented itself, she found the whole ordeal sickening to use an innocent for their gain.

though how innocent a child really was... she was not sure. they say evil can fester in the womb as well as any experience outside of it. following after the woman, she'd soon gain a name. Deathbelle sounded quite edgy, as if the parent or whoever named her was trying too hard to appear important. oh well. "Desdemona" she'd offer. nicknames were reserved for allies. "what brings you and your niece all the way south? just prefer it better than the cold?" speaking from experience, she did.
