waylon can break the stupid beast stereotype that precedes him if he proposes to, and in this occasion he’s not in the need of a lot of effort to do so. he doesn’t fall for her act, not after all he’s heard from waller’s lips, but doesn’t break character either.
with long and heavy steps, he reduces the distance between them; back and shoulders upright, chin lifted slightly, tapetum lucidum glowing in her direction. if he’s going to hurt her or let her go ? he avoids giving an answer even when he already knows it ( do not touch her ). instead, his attention focuses on the restriction signs which were evidently ignored by the girl; i’m lost resonates in his head and his stare return to hers, now tinted with a bit more of irritation.
he reminds himself this is nothing but pretending, yet that doesn’t seem to diminish the impact of being lied to so cynically. “ you think me a fool ?! ” that bark, his sharp canines, the hideous weather of the city, plus the decaying bodies lazily hidden not far away from their current location are not helping him with his friendly image, are they ?
not good enough, apparently. it’s either that or this thing has enough intuition to see
through what she believes to have been a well performed act. now there’s no choice
but to seek other methods of wiggling herself free from this situation alive. talk about
pressure. that horrible stench of putrefied flesh isn’t helping matters, either. managing
to fight back the urge to vomit takes a considerable amount of willpower alone.
“ yeah, actually, i did. but i guess that was
wishful thinking. or, you know, snap
judgement. take your pick. “
words come dry, honest & even disrespectful. all at once, the lost lamb persona
she’d so briefly adopted falls away. no point in trying to deceive him any longer,
since all that’ll do is aggravate the thing even more. & considering he could
probably PEEL her skin off with his nails & pick his TEETH with her bones,
she isn’t too keen on playing the role of an innocent little flower any longer.
“ but can you blame me for trying? i mean,
look at you. you’re fucking terrifying
& i’m pretty sure you’ve got a
few dead guys over there. “
