Who: Ilinca & Open
What: She always gets her man
When: June 8th, late night
Where: Forest outside the Cirque grounds
Warnings: Uh...stealing someone's life force? TBD. Who even knows with this one.
Prompt: Triumph


He was an easy mark. Most of them were, really, if she thought about it. Taken in by a pretty face, a teasing gesture, and some false, sweet words. To borrow a phrase she used fairly often, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. No one ever learned, no matter how much time passed, and how much men considered themselves learned. Oh well. At least it kept her energy up.

It was too easy to lure him outside, away from his friends. He was drunk, and thought she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. Ilinca laughed and teased him as she sauntered on ahead, her silvery voice floating back through the trees. He was stumbling, crashing into branches and tripping over roots. She was beside him almost before he knew it, pulling him on ahead. "Dance with me," she murmured in his ear.

"'m not very good at dancing," he slurred, reaching for her anyway.

"Just follow my lead," she purred, stepping into the clearing they'd reached. She whipped him into a turn, lighter on her feet than any human woman, not that he noticed. He struggled to keep up, but she kept pushing him on, sometimes with a slap, pinch, or shove. He was flagging, but trying to keep up. She mentally shook her head. They were all the same.

Eventually, though, he fell and didn't get back up. Ilinca prowled towards him, her predatory side coming to the surface. She could sense his life force inside of him, calling out to her. She crawled up his prone body, straddling his hips and kissing him. He was more on board now, and she put up with his wandering hands for the moment. The greater prize was within her reach.

Her kiss was draining, in the most literal way. His grip lost its firmness, his limbs becoming heavy as he grew weaker. He fell back, his neck unable to support the weight of his head. His eyes were fluttering wildly, and his breath was getting short. He was almost gone. Ilinca couldn't help it, she laughed. Usually she had to torture them to get them like this, the alcohol had made her work almost too easy. Next time, though. Right now, she just needed to finish this, and then she'd feel better, and Stacey could have another meal.

Ilinca looked up, a snarl half-formed on her lips, before realizing it was just Marcus. She tried to say something in return, but all that came out was a string of Bulgarian. She closed her mouth, sighed, then tried again. "They always are," she answered, thankfully in English this time. Though that accent would never go away.

"Cats rule the house, isn't that what they say?" she added, finally rising from the ground. Her eyes sparkled brighter than they had moments before, and her skin seemed to be glowing even more brightly beneath the moonlight. Ilinca was flushed and well-fed, and it showed. She wiped her lips on the back of her hand, spinning slowly on the spot as she looked up at the moon.

"What brings you out tonight, Marcus?" she called, weaving around a few trees. "It's a beautiful night, certainly. Out for a stroll?"

With the snarl and the string of Bulgarian, Marcus couldn't help the smirk that quirked over his lips. There she was. Just a glimmer before the fae reverted back into her deceptive charm. And she did look charming, didn't she? With the sparkling eyes, the dewy skin, and the ethereal movement of her body.

She moved with the grace of trees, he thought. It was how Ilinca moved through nature that harkened her species. Marcus took a deep breath and casually put his hands into his pockets while pushing away from the tree. "Watching you make a meal and thinking the shame of it. Like watching a lion go to the grocery and picking up a prime rib wrapped in cling film." Now Marcus thought of Nik and imagined just the thing. Poor sod.

Another silvery laugh floated out of the trees, though this one was tinged with something else. An acknowledgement, perhaps. "And isn't that just the truth?" she asked, pulling herself onto a low branch and simply hanging there for a moment. She landed without a sound when she dropped, coming back toward him again.

"He did get off easy," she said after a moment. "Usually I play with them first and they're broken when they die. Usually the chase me more. That also leads to questions, you know? A trail of broken bodies leading to the Cirque, it makes the Ringmaster cross." She shrugged. "I'll have my fun eventually. I always do."

Marcus playfully tisked and watched Ilinca move toward him. "Didn't your mum teach you not to play with your food?" The witch kept a casual stance there next to the dead body like it was all normal. That there was no danger in the way the fae walked or the calculation in the back of her eyes. But she was dangerous much in a way a flame was: beautiful and alluring but should be handled with caution. Marcus knew a thing or two about fires.

Once Ilinca came within reach, Marcus lightly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He smoothed his hand to the middle of her back and pressed her into a slow dance. He kept her close and firmly to the lead. The witch slid his hand holding the fae's wrist to wrap about her hand, locking them into a proper frame. "I'm sure you will," he agreed, guiding them about her fresh kill. "Ever really have to work for it? The meal?" He whispered.

"Mother taught me how to play with it," Ilinca told him, letting out one of her real laughs this time. There was no one around to ensnare, so what was the harm?

Ilinca let out a small noise of surprise (which, in itself surprised her, few people could do that anymore), but let Marcus lead her into the dance regardless. She huffed out an amused breath, looking up at him as they moved. "All the time, in Bulgaria," she answered. "In the forests, they'd come through and think we were too good to be true. But they still fell. They still wanted us. The difference was, back then, they were more wary of magic. It took more effort. And we had to break them ourselves. Now, they're all but self-breaking."

"What's brought this on?" she asked. "No one has ever asked before, so long as I clean up after myself."
