bury the light

Someday she could be looking at one of her greatest allies. A bought one, but ally all the same. As long as their interests aligned. She wondered if she could ever be fully confident in him, but for now she couldn’t know. All Venom could do now was to hold up her end of the bargain and see where things went after using her best judgement at the time.

The Empress lifted her brow as the dark coated man shook his head, causing his set of horns to glimmer in the low light. Venom lifted her brow curiously as she watched him slowly but with steady movements, begin to follow her. She smirked lightly with his confident but stiff movement. His words were stoic, but she could guess at how much he was hiding from her. ”You needn’t hide anything from me.” Venom told him absently as she turned to lead him towards the border. Like her words hadn’t even mattered, but in reality they did. If he wanted her to trust him, she needed to know all of him.
