// smile like you mean it //
Head tilting slightly as she brushes back the hair that had fallen out of place, Astaroth watches her with that same dark gaze as she takes his words, measuring them curiously up against the way he’s told others before. “I prefer to not be taken by surprise, most days.” So yes, he always tries to plan. Always tries to be on top of everything. Always tries to make sure he’s got all of his ducks in a row.
Snorting at her response and confidence, though, his tail tightens around her again, exhaling a soft sigh. “No, I cannot say that I have.” He admits honestly, leaning into the touch against his nose and the scar at his neck. But then she’s asking her own question, appraising him for his answer, and he flashes her a small shark toothed smirk for the question itself. “It is and isn’t. I was given it at first, but I grew into it and began to call myself the full length of it.” Because he hadn’t told her the full term, just the butcher portion, because that got the point across.
A point that has her distinctly playing with fire with the potential of her burning. But depending on her answer, if she’s sure, who is he to deny her? She saved his life, after all.
