There he goes again, putting up that shield of indifference I've come to know so well. It's almost like his own self defense mechanism. Maybe that's why he was so intrigued with teaching me how to use it as a weapon, cause he's already figured out how to with his own. He does no more than raise a brow and give me pointed looks when I sass him and I'm almost disappointed that he doesn't want to have a war of wits. There was a time when I would duck my head and let someone win but I certainly won't do that with him of all people. My brows furrow when he does finally speak, eyes narrowing pointedly. Really, Frost? To feel superior, you have to use another language now? "You really are a breed of a different kind, aren't you?" I tilt my head. Yes, that is a rhetorical question. I know he's baiting me with every word and syllable, trying to either make me break down like I did before or see how far he can push before I snap. My lips tense stubbornly. I won't be giving up so easily. Not this time. I simply watch him for a moment as he tells me that I'm all bluff, the corners of my lips twitching as he continues. He tells me that he was trying to bring out the side of me that I deny. I'm guessing he's talking about the side of me he can see now. I love how he tries to twist it around into a compliment. Like I should be flattered that he thinks I'm much better this way. He'd probably only be proud if he knew what it took to bring me to this point in my life. "Let's just say you went about it the wrong way, Frost. But then, old habits die hard, don't they?" I lift one brow at him. At his question, I laugh softly before my fingers twitch. In the blink of an eye, I've drawn my bow and released an arrow right at his left knee cap. I don't hesitate to see if it will land its mark, drawing back and releasing another this time to go right past where his ear would be if he didn't lean down in pain or dodge the last arrow. I twirl around gracefully, this time another releasing to land in the dirt right beside his foot where ever it might be in this moment and time. My eyes narrow and I offer a smile of innocence as I notch another arrow, ready to dodge or retaliate. "Oh, I'm back in Sacrosanct to stay, little pony, but I'm just stopping by to say hi to you. Our dealings are over with, Frost. I want you to stay away from me and my friends. You have never been what I needed and you never will be." |
