Well, if that knife finds a sheath in my body, it's not like I can't heal myself. I resign myself to having to pull it out of my chest, but Wanda realizes exactly who is addressing her. She starts to walk backwards, and I can taste her fear on the air. I feel mostly gratified by it. She, who laid down with Iblis and lived after bearing his child... she who stormed into Olympus and ripped Ares back from his father's kingdom... is terrified of me.
Only mostly, for there is a twist of what I recall as a feeling of guilt. Probably a remnant of what Lucien imprinted on me. It only grows stronger as Wanda states the obvious; that I have only ever brought her misery.
"What do you want?"
I regard her for a moment, then open my coat and pull out several miniature sunflowers. I do not come any closer, merely extend my arm in offering.
"To offer my condolences." I watch her eyes go from my face to the flowers, and then start to shimmer with unshed tears. "Lucien was a good man, and the world is a lesser place without him."
