"What makes you think your day of birth is worth celebrating?" Sinister glanced over at the boy, lips pursed and raising one eyebrow as his head tilted to the side. "What makes anyone's birthday worth celebrating? It is only an exersize in promoting unnessicary vanity. Why should I promote further vanity in you?"
The static was painful and Sinister's mental touch eased away, lingering while it could but did not attempt to fight the shield. Did not try to stay there. He had no pressing concerns to force his hand and give them both an uncomfortable and painful experience. But while he did pull away, he also send a distinct sense of playfulness about his last comment, as if inviting Remy to 'convince' him. Give him a reason to indulge the 'vanity'... debate with him.
