@godsdefied asked: “Yeesh, you look like shit.” / nick & astarion

Eyes blink slowly at the Elf. A small, bloodied grin creeps up onto full lips. Milky white skin is littered with bruises, greying lips tinted red... she catches a glimps of herself in the mirror next him. How ironic that he has such a useless item near him.
Seeing herself in such a state causes the smile to grow wider, baring teeth at this moment. She's reminded of the screams, the pleas and begs for mercy to which she did not grant... and the warmth of the blood as it spilled from her victims. Oh to relive that moment again and again and again. It'd truly be a dream, but it'd be their nightmare. It almost makes her loins tingle.

A quick glance back at the vampire forces her smile to drop significantly. Chest rises with an audible inhale for a moment. Nick wonders what his screams would sound like, though his blood might be cold. It wouldn't be as fun.
" I think I look fine. Better 'an you, anyways. "
@godsdefied asked: [ direct ] your muse taking mine by the chin and telling them to look yours in the eye . [ patience ] your muse telling mine to be patient . / astarion & nick
He doesn't beg nearly enough for her liking. He'd be prettier on his knees, littered in bruises and scratches and cuts... if only she could have been a fly on the wall in that room when Cazador had ripped into the flesh on his back that night all those years ago. Though her grandparents weren't even a twinkle in their parents eyes at the time. Though there still may be time to witness something just as delicious.
Of course he asks, his stupid words, all pretty and perfumey. He'll soon find out that has no effect on her, if he hasn't by now. Eyes cast his a gaze for a moment before arms unfurl from where they're crossed on her chest.
" My blood thirsty friend- " She says, lithe fingers coming up to wrap around his chin. Grip like a vice as she pulls him closer, looking down into her black and green gaze. " Look at me. "

Of course she craves the authority she seems to have over him at this very moment. Any other time the roles might be reversed, but she has something he wants. A perfectly good neck filled with hot, human blood. She has some sort of leverage over him at the moment.
Tongue sucks at teeth, the tip grazing across a canine as she inhales.
" Be patient, little dove, then maybe you'll get what you want. " Although she wouldn't be lying if she had said that she enjoyed it quite possibly more than he had, the first time. She won't ever admit it, but she knows Astarion had caught on to that.
@arcanedesires asked: Men die. It’s practically what they’re for. fenris for nick
" Mm, yes. " Chest rises as fingers pick up the quill on his desk, twirling it around between the pads of her fingers. Brows raise as she tilts her head. Of course they are, men die all the time, women die all the time... and who was she to be the one to stop the natural order of things ?? Well, she might by prematurely killing those who piss her off. And how she enjoys the warmth of their blood colouring her pale skin- god, where's Kethric when you need him ??
Hand tosses the quill behind her- where it lands is none of her concern. Nicolette leans against the desk, arms folded across her chest as she watches him.

" But when I'm not invited to the party, it hurts ones feelings, hm ?? "
@arcanedesires asked: There need never be any rules between us. astarion for nick
No rules ?? Well that would be divine, if there truly was no restrictions. Not that she's ever been one to care for rules. Since when has she ever followed a single one unless it benefitted her ?? Well, with this one it might. Only time will tell how it'll play out, though she truly believes he doesn't mean what he preaches.

Eyes fall down his form, very slowly, very obviously, before lifting to return to his gaze. Arms fold over her chest- she can't help that her face doesn't hide her emotions.
" Don't speak what you can't handle, little dove. You might find you want to take that back in the near future. "
@arcanedesires asked: Just tell yourself a story that’ll satisfy you and pretend he told it. aeyarus to nick
There's a look of disappointment on her face, arms folded across her chest as she shifts her weight from one leg to the other. Eyes roll in annoyance. That's no fun- why would it be ??
" Aeyarus, nothing he says can satisfy me. Even somethin' I make up in my head won't do it. " A small tsk as she shakes her head.

A hand presses to her hip, the other to the table in front of her as she bends slightly at the waist. Her chest raises as she hopes her top is low cut enough, hoping the clothing she wears hugs her in all the right places. And if they didn't ?? Well, maybe he'll just have to find out.
" I think you're... better equipped to tell me a story. "
A grin, so wide she could split from ear to ear spreads across her face at the mention of a next time. Of course there would be a next time, and a time after that, and a time after that- all of which she would hope she'd be invited. Never mind the fact that she'd get off, wasn't it just nice to invite your friends ?? Your peers ?? Not that there's an HR department she can call were she to be left out. And Gortash wouldn't care. Aekas is too busy doing god knows what. And how would it look running to Bhaal about it ?? Like a little rich boy running to papa, that's how. Instead she has to reply on her charisma, her body even. However she's almost certain he is not the type to fall for the latter trick.

Nick's smile softens as he stands, a hand pressed to the hard wood beneath her. Business of her concern, was it not ?? However, she lets that little bit go.
" Good, I'll gladly await then. You know I'm quite good with getting the dirty work done myself, Fenris. Who knows, maybe we can bond over the next one. "

his gaze follows the movement of his quill between her fingers, a sour sneer pulled taunt across his lips. why must she insist on messing with his things every time she visits him? "i would have thought you'd have learned by not that it is not a requirement to invite you to everything, my dear," he answers, sickly sweet. besides, if he attempted to invite her to every man he killed, then he would likely kill so few in comparison. after all, does he not have the same urge to kill, to feel the warmth of blood on his hands as she does?

"it was nothing more than business." who decided business and pleasure could not mix? slender fingers curl into the palm of his hand, nails pushing into the soft flesh until there are sure to be imprints left behind. his head tips back just slightly as she leans against his desk to ensure he can still meet her gaze as he rises from his seat. "there are always plenty of men who need killing in our line of work, i shall invite you to the next one. it will come sooner rather than later, no doubt."
" You really are thick in the skull, aren't you ?? " Nick scoffs. She doesn't want to get rid of him, no. Quite the opposite. Even though they're at each other's throats all the fucking time, she doesn't want him gone, no. It's a form of foreplay to her. Clearly Fenris hasn't picked up on that. Arms fold over her chest as she watches him approach closer.

Nick doesn't want to take over Aekas' rank. Nor Fenris', nor Aeyarus'. There's too much publicity involved in it, even if Aekus' managed to evade the limelight of it all, it's still too much for her. She's quite comfortable with where she's at currently. It's the perfect spot to kill, play, and fuck to her hearts content. Sure, she craves power, but she's also smart enough to know that were she in a higher position, she'd have to be careful.

"we are all good at getting the dirty work done ourselves here." born and raised alongside one another in mass bloodshed, all in the name of bhaal and their cult. there was no one else in the world who knew the art and perfection of murder as the bhaalspawn did, and those who joined them could only hope and pray that they might live long enough to achieve a fraction of the skill of a bhaalspawn. fenris's hands are covered in the blood of his elder brothers, his rite of passage to prove his worth among his bhaalspawn siblings, and fight to keep himself in the position of power he now occupies despite those who envy it and find him undeserving of it. though none have dared remove him from it, no matter how much they longed to be in his place. not that he can picture aekas allowing such a thing to happen when the tiefling refuses to meet face-to-face with those supporting their cause outside the chosen of bane.
who would take over representing aekas in his place if he was not here? aeyarus? or the more laughable option of nick? perhaps that was why she seemed so insistent on tagging along on his business. to bond by placing a knife in his back and claim some accident to aekas and the others. surely it would not be aekas who wished him dead after all fenris had done for bhaal's chosen. everything he had risked.

fenris rounds his desk so it no longer remains between them, his fingers brushing over the edges of it as he walks around to her. "bond over it? why would we need to do that, hm? we share a common cause, that should be bond enough for us."
@vi0lnt asked: " I HAD SOME THINGS TO TAKE CARE OF. " nicolette walsh + sonny corleone,
" Oh, aye. " She starts. Arm folds over her chest, a hand holding a cigarette between digits as she stares at her nails on that hand. Nick pretends not to be bothered by it, though it's clear as FUCKING day. She claims she isn't one to anger easily, but being left out is a sure way to get her there quick. A serious case of FOMO, unfortunately.

" And ya decided t'leave me outta it, dinnit you ?? "
@filthystill asked: "Do you think I have a concussion?" almost certainly. it's jimmy. you know it's jimmy. dealers choice again. from here
Grin spreads wide, brows furrowed as the woman watches him. A fucking snicker leaves her lips. Was it a 'you're fuckin' funny' laugh, or a 'you're fuckin' stupid' laugh ?? Considering it's Nicolette, it's most likely the latter. Inked fingers steeple over inked arm as she folds them across her chest. A nod in reply, then:

" No, I just think you're fuckin' STUPID. "
Fingers now press to forehead as she shakes her head, though the grin still remains. Unfortunately she's all giggles at the moment. Though she removes her hand and holds it up, gesturing in his general direction.

" Nah, I think you're fine. Just dust it off, c'mon Jimmy. Be a MAN. "
He curls his lip, nods, difficult to argue, "I'm picking up what you're putting down," it isn't clear what exactly he's attempting to do, but he proceeds to stride straight into the wall, knocks a picture down. He himself does not hit the floor, orientates himself. Stupidity was why he was concussed. They were both kinda right, both kinda wrong.

"Alright. Hospital."
" Oooooh, now wait a fuckin' minute- " A finger in his direction now. IF ONLY Jimmy knew how fucking stupid she actually was, how she's just as bad as him when it came to violence ( though she is weaker, she defintiely enjoyed a bit of it ). " I changed my mind, I think we should go t'the hospital. "
Just simple based on the fact that it's a funny thought. Go in for a concussion, get probed instead. If it makes him uncomfortable then GOOD. Extra points.

" We'll just take that t'go then, yeah ?? "
She seemed like a smart girl. with a good head on her shoulders. She knew what she was talking about, and he trusted her judgement implicitly. "You're right," he began, stride uninterrupted, quiet contemplation by the drinks cabinet.

"I need a drink," makes his selection, the cure to, and cause of all concussions, vodka, "not a fucking prostate exam."
