'Kill'? Oh, no, Ryan didn't like the sound of that.. But at least Iskander said he wasn't going to do that, right? In any case, it didn't look like there was going to be any fight over this... Which was something that Ryan was very happy about. She didn't like violence, and it was the last thing she wanted to experience now... Or ever, at that. Anyways, point was, it was all cleared up now, it seemed. So, naturally, she nodded and offered a small smile as Iskander, gratefully taking the offered hand. "Right."
also ha ha gilgamesh was a sissy about dirt like reece was :|
Oh, good
grief. Reece had a very strong feeling that this guy was going to lead to nothing but a headache. Hell, even reading him was painful - from having to look at his grimy and gross form to read him, to gaining insight on his lack of literacy, and more. It made shivers run down the Sybil's spine. How could anyone
live like that, anyways? The female had absolutely no idea, but she didn't want to know. She was much happier just living with a very sanitary lifestyle. Which was probably why she was making sure to keep a safe distance from being within touching range of Thénardier.
Not out of ear range, though.
The Sybil was almost offended. Did this guy really think she'd fall for his act? That she was gullible like the rest of the lot? Well, unluckily for him... "
As much as I appreciate your attempts at trying to suck up to and manipulate us, I'll have you know right now that such efforts will fall short. I'm a Sybil. What this means is I can read you like a book. You could call me a.. Walking lie detector, of sorts," she explained, tone brusque.. yet, somehow, keeping it's typical formality. Now, she crossed her arms once more, pursing her lips. "
Now that you're aware of this, perhaps you'd like to reconsider your words, hm? Because even though you dislike it, I am here, and I see right through your fibs."
..*whistles* What a gal.
Clearing her throat, the young woman was about to say more, but she found herself cut off by Thénardier's little speech about the painting. Internally, Reece cringed as he went on, wanting nothing more than to either conjure up a pair of sound-blocking headphones, or to use a Cast that could temporarily mute him. Just...
Something to stop the stupidity he was spouting! But, unluckily, she had more self-control and manners than that... So no silencing Casts or objects were brought about by the Sybil. Instead, she rubbed her temples, trying to block out the man's words.
This was a
nightmare. Reece felt like her head was going to explode.. Or, worse - this man was going to make her I.Q go down! She could
not have that! So, she impatiently and desperately waited for the man to finally stop talking, before finally speaking up. "
First off, that is not what it says - the painting is titled 'Gallifrey Falls'. Not 'Gallaafreee Flails Now Whore'. Secondly, you are not British. Thirdly, if you intend to fool someone, you really ought to work on your background stories. Thinking anyone would believe what you're spouting is an insult to their intelligence," she stated. Wow, Reece was putting the metaphorical smackdown on this guy, huh?
But, she wasn't a
complete bitch.
Sighing heavily, the young woman waved her hand, conjuring some money into her hand. She was about to hand it over to Thénardier... But quickly decided she was very much against the idea of her hand being anywhere near him. EwgermsfilthgrossthatwasReece'strigger. So, instead, she used her telekinetic abilities to move the money to his hands - problem solved. No touch required. "
...There. Fifteen dollars. That should be enough for a good meal... And some hand sanitizer," she commented. "
..Next time you want money from someone, you ought to ask them for it."
Looked like she had a heart after all. Even towards people that insulted her intelligence and made her want to scrub herself down in the shower for days just because she'd been in the same room as someone as filthy as them. :|
