Her voice was raw- plain, without the filter from the illusion;
". . .you paid quite price to break free. . ."
Nodding her head slightly, her eyes drifted towards her bleeding thigh;
"That was nothing but sheer willpower on your side. I can tell it had nothing to do with your strength as a mage. . ."
Trying to mask her fear, Selina's mouth twisted in a nasty snarl;
"What the actual fuck! What's this really about?! How do you know my name?! Who sent you?"
Hands clasped together in front of her, the girl stepped out of the shadows- still dripping in red, and still keeping her feet cloaked underneath her long skirt as she strode out- into the light;
"Don't be silly Selina. . .we both know that's not how this works. . ." a look- vaguely resembling regret, streaked across her eyes; ". . .like I said, you're pretty impressive. . .it was actually interesting watching you fight back. . .your determination was really admirable. . ."
