Veronica took his hands on hers and played with his fingers. 'These hands cut down people,' she thought. She stated, "I heard that you were a merciless killer."
Arthur's hands froze. "Are you scared of me now?" When he killed people, others got scared of him. He didn't care much about it before. He never thought there would be a day that he would have to be wary of what others thought about his bloodlust.
'Not really," Veronica answered. "These hands may be filled with blood but they protected me." She used his hands to cup her face. She glanced at him with her emerald eyes and voiced her opinion, "I rather feel safe when you are near me." She kindly smiled at him and continued, "I've also heard that you only killed people when they came to hurt you and your subordinates. You don't kill people unnecessarily."
Arthur's heartbeat rapidly. His thumbs stroked her soft cheeks. "Who said I don't? I kill anyone who annoys me. I enjoy killing people."
