His complement touched her confused if not cautious. Anita was certain what to do with it, especially not the smirk as her dealings with the walking undead so far has not led her to greener pastures. Especially when they appeared to be soft and gentle. She gifted him a slow smile in return, tilting her brows in thought as she attempted to figure out his game and where he was going with all of this.
She sighed. “Nikolaos hired me to investigate a string of vampire deaths. She used humans and threats to get me to do whatever she wanted. and when she realized that she couldn’t control me. She had killed to get me and then tried to kill me. Key word, try. And, well. What goes around…”
Anita shrugged again, a false attempt at hiding her annoyance. “I don’t care about your vampire politics,” she pinched the bridge of her nose between two fingers. “Jean-Claude was only protecting me and his, er, peers. Nothing more.”
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table as she spoke, it was not to distract her or annoy it was just part of his thinking process. He gave her a slow no as she explained why she had killed the master vampire. “I understand the need to kill someone if they are trying to kill you. I shall let the others know that you did not just hunt her down and kill her that it was provoked by her.” Axel told her.
“When did Jean-Claude place the marks upon you? I find it hard to believe that given who you are that you just let him put them on you.” He pointed out as he notice her annoyance. “This is not about vampire politics. I am making sure that the council do not come here and end you and Jean-Claude for killing Nikolaos. I am merely investigating the death of an old vampire.” It was not his intent to cause any issues or problems whole he was here, he just want to get the answers that others needed.
“Who else was involved with her death?” Axel asked as he listened and watched for any signs of her lying to him .
