"This doesn't prove you're brave," She said, stopping to look at him directly. "It doesn't prove you're courageous. You know what it does prove? That you're stupid. That you honestly think that you have a chance against me. What do you have? Vervain? What else? Hm? Any other defenses that would be worth a damn on me?"
She shook her head, "That's the thing about humans. They think they're so smart, so ingenious, that they can figure out everyone else's moves before they make them... But here's a hint: You can't." She smirked and circled to stand behind him. Her words were spoken softly, in a slow drawl and she leaned to whisper in his ear, "And you? You're insignificant. You're hardly useful to anyone, and especially not me. You wouldn't stand a chance in a fight with me because if I cared? I'd kill you before you could blink."
