A Bad Temper and a Short Fuse
WHO: Balam and Dr. Cox
WHERE: The Study
WHEN: After Cox's Meeting Request
RATING: PG
WARNINGS: Cox's colorful language and Balam's short fuse?
SUMMARY: Balam considers Dr. Cox's request sensible, so he makes his way to tell the doctor a little about himself. But how much to say, without giving more details of his life than he wants to? One doesn't want others to know their weaknesses, after all.
Balam wasn't against being reasonable. When he was calm, it was easy to grasp common sense and apply it where needed. What Balam to this day, despite all of his years, could not manage? Was keeping his dangerous temper in check when it was challenged. Oh, he tried. Sometimes he succeeded. It usually didn't last, if it happened at all...
And when Balam lost his temper, things got destroyed. Typical of a demon - but what are you to do when you want to be something else?
He dressed like a human. His khaki pants were neat, his loafers were brown, his gray vest and white oxford long-sleeved shirt buttoned. He was tall. His skin was a medium tan. He looked like a fighter playing dress up, however - his face was stern and his body was built for strength. Those were the normal details when it came to his body, however. The parts that made him a little easy to overlook, just like he liked.
What was hard to hide was the messy, firetruck-red hair that was natural. The only other parts of him were his slightly sharpened teeth - all of them were more like canines than anything else - and his eyes that he covered at all times with his sunglasses.
People who took off his sunglasses would suffer.
Still, Dr. Cox's request hardly seemed a threat to what he was, or what he was trying to be, as long as the doctor didn't pry too much. For that reason, it was easy for him to open the door to where Dr. Cox was waiting and close the door behind him, crossing his arms and scanning the room for the one he'd come to meet.
