Vesper watches her slow like a creature scenting a trap, the energy bleeding off her sharp enough to cut. He sees the shift—the stillness that isn’t peace but poise, poised like the sea before a storm. And when her eyes find his in the mirror, gods, he feels it. The look she levels could have peeled the bark off the trees.
His reflection meets hers, smile crooked and unapologetic. "Is that a fact?" he drawls, voice low, like velvet drawn across steel. He doesn’t move closer—not yet. Just lets her stew in it for a beat longer, watching the way her fingers flirt with the hilt of her dagger. "Could’ve shown you a thousand beasts, Thalassa," he murmurs, eyes glinting as the mirror flickers with her fury. "But none of ’em compare. Not one had your bite. Or your spine." A pause. "Or your taste for blood."
He shifts, finally, but only to lean against the arch of ivy beside him, casual as ever. His gaze lingers on hers in the glass. "I didn’t bring you here to mock you. I brought you here ’cause I wanted to see the most dangerous thing in the Celestine."
A beat.
"And I’m lookin’ at her."

And now it's turning out to be the worst of my bad habits
