lol cognitive dissonance

So we're in agreement -- on both accounts, the coyote responded sourly, her dark ears laying flat against her skull. She didn't want him, anyway -- she wanted that shade over his soul, that patch of darkness cast upon him before birth. It would take another shape, no doubt, and perhaps this one would be more open to her charms than Itachi Lykoi. Perhaps she could kill him and hurry things along. Why had she even wanted him in the first place? He was so young -- barely more than a child. Eris required a man of musculature and age -- Larkspur was her physical notion of perfection, after all.

I don't require you to emote, only to serve, she sniffed, seemingly in an attempt to convince herself more than him. You'll never sit where The Boss sits, so long as you're intent on keeping whatever goes on in your pretty head to yourself, she said, shrugging. It was an idle threat, after all; Sirius wasn't going anywhere of his own accord, and Eris had no intent of helping plans to dethrone him, either. After all, a new leader for Salsola might realize just how utterly useless his Auxiliary was, and appoint a new one -- perhaps after sacrificing the old one.

Still, it was good to test the loyalty of one's subjects now and again, and Itachi's utterly flat demeanor did lend to an air of trust. She did not have a relationship with this one like she did with Tlantli. The sable she-wolf gazed at her companion, chartreuse eyes drained of all lust. Now, they were the slitted eyes of a snake, predatory and cold as he managed to make his entire face. Would he affirm his loyalty to Salsola, further his insult to her, or some yet unknown action? She could predict him no more than she could predict the weather for this day next year.
