grin .. you asked for it.
The door closes with an ominous lack of sound.
lyon holds still until her eyes adjust to the lack of light, the palest of trickles sneaking under the door. The fingers of it reach out to touch grace notes to this closet; a broom, some small stacked boxes, tiny shelves. Clothing rustles as Ashke presses farther back into the darkness. To get away? To escape?
No one has ever been afraid before. Always before she had been the one to cower, to hide in the rags of darkness. The sensation of sudden control is a heady rush, pounding in her temples.
lyon slides a half a step forward and cocks her head, listening perhaps. Only the half hungry smile on her face gives her away but it is lost in the shadows.
"Asssshke?"
There is no answer. lyon leans forward, waiting until her eyes pick out the hint of a rapidly beating heart, the flicker of white cloth. She licks her lips and daringly reaches out until clawed fingers hover over the barely seen line of collarbone.
"Assssshke. I will not... hurt." Tries to forget the memory of red excitement carved into flesh, the howling anger that was Askura in a rage. The copper taste that made everything sweeter. "It is just Condor, playing as he always does. He will let us out when he is bored."
There is an easing of the fear-smell, but it is still there and hard to ignore. lyon whets her lips again and tries once more to be harmless and small. Her hand moves until fingers graze skin, the simplest of caresses.
"We have only ... to wait. This is a small game and easy to play."
Skin shivers under her touch and she slides just a breath closer. It is strange. Perhaps Ashke has not played this before? It is but another game of hide-and-catch, with Condor and his whiskey eyes to make the rules.
At least this time there are no chains.
