One moment he's at the tip of her blade - and the next he's gone, her mind trying to compute his sudden disappearance. It's only a moment before she recognizes the looming heat of a presence behind her, her body going taught with anticipation of an attack, of being tricked again; but the shadowy caress of his words is all she feels, like a finger dragging down her jas. A shiver runs down her spine as something darker coils within, a familiar warmth beginning in her veins.

The playfulness returns to her voice, cutting through the sharpness and disguised curiosity as she realizes how little she knows about his abilities. It feels like dancing with fire - not that she's ever worried about such a thing. Her heart quickens a little, eager in the wake of her anger.

Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
There's just no time to die
