Elektra searched his eyes, watching his movement with extreme care. Her own lips were curled in a smirk. If she feared at all what he could do, she never let such a thing show. She could tell he didn't like her in his space. It was possible that it was because of her trying to kill him all those times? Yielding not to his desire for distance, the assassin stepped closer still, she was close enough to feel his breath on her cheeks.
Why didn't she kill him? What kept him alive? He had her sai for one, but that was not the real reason. It was because she didn't understand him. She was curious about him to a extent and she had fallen for the sweet deal of money the last time around. He showed no fear despite being at the threshold of death with her hand on the blade. Why?
" For the moment, you intrigue me. I don't understand you nor your motives behind what you do. You aren't like other businessmen and perhaps that is what is keeping you alive when all your companions aren't so lucky", she said slowly. " Or perhaps I like you and would miss the fun of trying to kill you." She stepped back.
