Srinde smiled slightly. "Don't worry, m'lord, I will not hurt you. I said I could help. You seek a way to kill Dracula, do you not?..." Her blue eyes flickered slowly, as though there was a living flame in them.

He stared at Srinde closely. His eyes almost burning into her.

"believe me. I want to do more than to kill him! But why should I tell you what I want. You know nothing about me..."


He swallowed the thump in his throat whole.

Her smile turns sad and lonely. "I may not know, but I understand you. I wish to kill him as well. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. Is that not true?...." Her voice is soft, yet commands attention.

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

He smirked. and chuckled softly.

"You know nothing. For he also controls me. Though I wish what I say is not true. The moon is my enemy."

His teeth grind together.

She smirks, and her fangs slide down. "Then I understand you better than you think. But I am not controlled by him. I broke away from him. I have vowed revenge." Her eyes flash, and a wicked light enters them.

"I have tried. But each time I have failed. "

He watched the ligh flicken in her eyes. He nodded to her slowly. She did know., but he could not say.

Her laugh rings out, clear and confident. "Oh, by the way, my name is Srinde, but call me Rin. The friends I don't have do...."

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

He smirked and nodded a reply to her.

"I am Velkan. But I will see what I call you."

She raises one eyebrow, the light flashing through her eyes again. "Be careful.....I'm not exactly what you'd call tame. Insult me in any way and you die....Velkan...." Her mouth twists slightly as she says his name. She then walks over and peers down at his table and papers.

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

"So, M'lord Velkan, what will you call me?...." she asks as she looks over the papers he's been studying. Srinde picks one up and reads its contents. "How interesting...."

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

He quickly grabbed the papers of his our of her hands.

"That is not important to you!"

He quickly placed it back on the dresked so she could not read it..

Srinde's hand shoots out and her long-nailed fingers wrap about his wrist. "I said be careful.... Do you want help or not?..." Her eyes flash sharply, the candle light tossing blue shards of color from her eyes.

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

He snathes his hand away from her grip.

"I never said I did. And don't think you can barg in here and boss things around.."

_________________

She sighs. "I do not mean to 'boss things around'... I only wanted help in getting what I wanted.... Which is Dracula dead...gone...with good riddance!" Srinde looks him in the eyes, her blue eyes piercing and full of pain. "I've heard you lost your family.... I lost what was left of my family, my love, and my life...."
Her gaze drops a little. "Would you be so kind as to help me get them back?..." Srinde looks up at him again, trying to humble herself enough to ask for help, something she hates doing.
