Gideon
the priest
Give your heart and soul to charity
'Cause the rest of you
'Cause the rest of you
Shame, the little Ascended was smart enough not to fall for that one. Shrugging, Gideon tilted his head to the side. "Your loss."
And that would have been it, the Priest content that he'd disquieted her enough for the day, ready to turn away and use his compass - when the throwing knife shot down. He managed to move in time to have it be only a graze, the blade running over the skin of his shoulder and bringing up a line of red on his shirt, but sinking into the sand behind. Gideon gritted his teeth but determinedly did not show any signs of pain or weakness.
Still, it was enough to irk him. Enough to make him a little less careful. Taking a couple of steps back, making sure his compass was in hand, Gideon looked up to Mabel once more with eyes that were as hard as the rock she stood on. "I'll tell you one thing. The one I did get the fluid from...she looked a lot like you."

The best of you, Honey, belongs to me
