Nicholas is an artful man. She knew it. And it bothers the most that she might not be able to he as artful as he is.
The only thing they had in common was how honest they could be with their words and feelings. But Nicholas ought to understand that you don't have to say every word out. Just like he did now.
"You...why are you…?" She wanted to find a word for it. She knew the word but she couldnt remember what it was.
It wasnt the fact that he just threatened to kill off every man she comes in contact with that made her mad. But because he said it like he was sure she will not dare to oppose it.
And Phantasy hated more that it was true. If there is one thing she didnt like, then it was being told what to do by a man. But with this man she dares not act out. Unless she really wants the death of someones precious son.
Nicholas realises he might have said a little too much and adds. "I only said what I felt and what I would do."
