Graceful Descent

[Victor Steiner]

So basically, she didn't know. Perhaps she didn't care to know or she didn't think of him as a threat, which was a nice thought but an unlikely one. She didn't trust him, fair enough he wouldn't trust him either if he were her. To him, it almost seemed like she was trying to lead him down the path of temptation, although she was going about it in an odd way if she was, but she was also watching and anticipating a fall of some sort, the 'inevitable' betrayal that would eventually cause something to 'snap'. She was sure it would happen to him, and she could be right, although he doubted it was going to happen to him any time soon. Interesting. He said, it was a lie, the first lie he had told her while she was here, but one that he didn't feel bad about telling. Perhaps you have had enough to drink for one evening? He looked her over, any more and there might be a problem with getting up in the morning, but refusal...well that had it's own problems. No doubt you are eager to get some sleep. Shall I have Warner show you to your room?
