Feyd knew that you could feel his presence trailing behind you, even though you couldn't see nor hear him. you also knew he'd follow you all the way back to your bedroom if you didn't acknowledge him now, so you slowed your steps a bit as you sharply turned a corner.

He should've known to slow down as well, as he hastily marched around the same corner, but his emotions clouded his judgement once seeing you disappear from his line of sight. However, those emotions quickly dispersed once he collided with your shorter frame, beaming up at him innocently.

“Dear Feyd, how can i help you my darling?" You smiled, looking up at him.

"Do you know why i'm here? On Agarre-Venuse?" He growled, tightly grabbing hold of your biceps, making you look into his eyes. Even after all these years of knowing you, your garnet-colored eyes still kept him so captivated.

"How could i? I’ve only just arrived back." You said calmly.

"Of course, how could you? When only a day ago, everyone thought you were dead!" He snapped, but that calm demeanor never left you.

"Even Chievre and yourself?" You asked, suspiciously and at the mention of your twin sister, Feyd stiffened, which you took note of.

"Especially her." He rasped, letting go of your arms roughly.

"I don't see why." You shrugged. "She has visions, she should've been able to feel that i was still alive." You hummed to yourself.

He wanted to scream, he wanted to throw a tantrum similar to the one your sister previously did, when she'd lost the connection between you two and thought you died.

But he didn't, because as he finally looked over your tattered clothing, and unusually disheveled self, he could only focus on one thing.

"What’s happened to your neck?" he says, ignoring your words and moving your hair away from it. "i thought you vampires were fast healers." he squinted, thumb brushing against the large bruise resting on your throat.

"You read the book!" You chuckled, giddily, laughing even more at his unimpressed face, before calming down.

“Why, you going to kiss it better for me?" You smirked.

"Who did it, Y/n?" He rasped impatiently, hand itching to use his blade against someone. He surprisingly hadn't killed anyone recently, his thoughts being occupied.

"He’s dead. Which is unfortunate because I didn't get to do it." You hummed, before smiling brightly.

"However, I did get to watch him scream like a new-born after biting his hand off." You laughed, letting feyd reach his hand up to your cup your face and bare your fangs to him.

"You’re deranged." he finally chuckled, letting go of your face.

"So i've heard." You hummed, turning around to continue the walk to your quarters, leaving him standing there. "Don’t follow me, I wish to be alone at the moment."

"Will i see you later?" He found himself calling out, still glued to the spot you'd left him in.

And to think you hadn't even used the voice on him.

"Maybe." You said, cheekily throwing a wave over your shoulder.

One thing he could praise you for, was that, that unpredictability of yours always left him wanting to watch your next move.
