Hannibal (i_consume) wrote in we_coexist,

"Torture you?" Hannibal raised a brow and smiled just a little bit. "I could. I could make you feel pain worse than you've ever known in your brief life. I could drag it on for years, and do it in such a way as to make you think it was what you wanted. But no. I have no intention of torturing you."

He recovered the chair from where it sat by the desk and brought it so that he could sit across from the girl who called herself Arie, be more on her level so to speak. Before he opened his mouth again, he assured that he was in the most comfortable position possible.

"You remind me of a girl that I knew a long time ago. Had she lived, I believe she would have grown up to be much like you are now. There's pain in you, loss. You lie because if you don't your life is at risk, yes?" It wasn't truly a question, so Hannibal moved on. "You have much potential in you, Arie. I can see it. I want to help you refine yourself. Become what it is that you could truly be."

Hannibal gestured behind him, toward the sword. "I am quite skilled in swordplay, I don't know what style you use currently, but I would be willing to teach you what I learned at the feet of my master. I can show you the ways to make a kill quick and clean, or slow and painful. Together we can find a way to blend it with the discipline you already know, create something new and fantastic that will be impossible to defend against. I can teach you how to conceal the truth better than you can now.

"There are many things you could learn from me, all I want is the truth."
