Cream-mitted fingers rubbed against the sockets of her eyes as his words came full force to explain what he had been keeping hidden -- connections, things he could get for them, people who could rid the world of the nuisances within it. Well, that idea simply made her laugh! They were Inferni, they dispatched their own enemies without worry of the blood on their hands, but she would let him think that was a useful thing if he desired it. It was his next words that truly interested her, for she had seen not a one who was capable of such a thing within her skull-lined walls. Fishing. Ezekiel, couldn't he catch fish? Well, he was it, as far as she was knowledgable. "Fishing. That's a start."

She curled her already curling auburn locks about her fingers as she studied him closer, her frown remaining despite her lack of malice. Again, he spoke, this time in riddles that made her laugh all the louder, a singing sound that was so rarely heard in honest circles these days. "Demons, they call us? Demons. Yes, I suppose we are. But they aren't as unworthy as they seem if they can understand that they need to stay away -- it's the ones who come close who are fools." She motioned faintly to the land around them, remembering the strangers who came to seek a home and then left, or the outsiders who could never hope to find a real place in her world.

But that was past. With a shake of her head, a step to the side, she extended her arm inward to the territory and waited patiently for him to step across the borders. "Welcome to Inferni. I'm Talitha de le Poer, sister to your new Aquila."
