His lips lift in a smirk and then fall, as brief and subtle as a cat's retracting claws. He had expected more - even if she knew nothing of him, where were her questions for him (the young always seemed to be incessantly curious)? Where were the accusations of his absence during her youth, and the dramatics of a life ruined by a detached and unresponsive father? Why come to him in the Glade that day, to state the obvious? His smile by now has faded into a sneer, and his tail lashes whip-like over his haunches, spraying crackling water onto the earth once more. The lightning dies this time upon contact, but the greed has not left his gaze.
"Kindness... cruelty... they are all so relative." he hisses, and his lightning laughs in the air around them, humming invisibly. "Surely you have better things to do."
And that is all he will offer her - he will not assist her with her questioning or her pestering; he will not admit to or deny these allegations she carries on her tongue, not while she toys so vaguely with them. It is a waiting game they play - Keeper and Free, father and daughter, murderer and child. Try him, Caoimhe; gather your confidence and look into the jaws of your creator.
[XD No worries. I/he... didn't really know what to say either... :X]
