The boy seemed unthawed by his pretty sentences, or was surely not intimidated by them. But again, this was as Sirius wished; he was the careful Hunter, and each word wove a new layer to the snare he built around the mind of the boy, Itachi Lykoi.

But the golden sinner was no doe, and nor was he a fool. The words, offered in gentlest yet eerily hollow tone, served to remind Sirius once again why it was that the youth had so intrigued him. They spoke of much deeper things, yet another listener might have skimmed along the surface, so simple deceived by the ease in which the two men sat.

Lime eyes remained coldly observant, drinking in each portrayal of thought that dared show itself on the boy's clever mask. He was so seamless, so flawless, in his nonchalance that the Revlis man would himself almost admiring the tact. But in the game the ocher male had fashioned between them, Itachi was no more than a pawn against Sirius himself - Itachi's immediate future held no winners or losers. The Revlis man was only playing for his own benefit.

Pupils narrowed at the youth licked daintily at his dirtied digits, and the words following provoked a stronger frown. "Blood," Dark bangs fell over sharp eyes, and it seemed he would have spoken further in such a harsh tone but for the pause that followed. When again Sirius spoke, his tone was as smooth as before. "Blood is not the only thing to make family, Itachi," As he spoke, the man again looked to the snare, crumbled in his hand. His mouth became a tighter line, and cool shadows fell over his downcast face. But again, the light voice came, "A family can be chosen - Chosen of those we feel are worthy to be our kin. Sometimes, those we choose will be the only ones who remain," Although cryptic, the words seemed to bring the man's previous demeanor of friendly calm back to him.

A pause, a yellow teeth were shown in a quick smile. "Sometimes, we have to choose who to follow, and place our faith in the fact that they alone are our true family. Wouldn't you agree?"
