He didn't have an ounce of fear in his eyes, only mild annoyance. I smiled and set him down. He knew I had no intention of really killing him. I was just testing him out, and also my own newfound abilities in the process.
"How could you be so sure I wasn't going to kill you right then and there?" I asked, curious to see the answer.
"Hmph. You may be cold and ruthless on the surface, but deep down, you have a warm heart. Those girls who travel with you are living examples of that," he said confidently. "You are not the type to mindlessly murder."
"My, my...I appreciate it," I replied. "In any case...I'm not going to start growing fangs or anything, right?"
