This was ridiculous, and clearly a waste of time. Every fiber of her being said this boy was lying through his teeth, and there was a narrow list of those who knew how much guilt she still carried about Lalita. "Lesbo? Fantastic. I considered eating a child." Whoever had fed him this information obviously didn't care what happened to him, or greatly overestimated his self-control.
He talked too much and didn't get to the point or the question she was actually asking. Maybe he and Mircea could be friends - Oh. Ah. That would explain some things about this boy.
The family part at least screamed honesty to her. He was too scared, the look in his eyes too real. Not that it really made up for what he said but the fact that he screamed young and physically weak more and more by the moment had her letting him go finally. "I'm not here to have heart to hearts. I'm here to eliminate threats." Her head tilted, memorizing his features and extending her senses so his unique brand of magic would be imprinted on her. "You should let your ghosts lie, and keep your nose out of history you know nothing about." If her theory was right, it was a double warning. He had no business fishing around with whatever her sister had given him, even if Xi had said he did.
Tea didn't sound as appetizing now. Instead, she needed to go home. Increase her Wards. With that threat hanging in the air between them, and the very real fact of hey, there would be no evidence if she actually decided to eat him she turned and made her way back down the alley, rum on her mind. It was a subtle insult too, turning her back on someone she just threatened because she was direct but some things made sense even to her.
