looks up slowly, eyes narrowing
Late? You dare keep me waiting? And you call me by my name as if we're equals? How... quaint.Quaint? Ouch. But hey, better late than never, right? I brought coffee as a peace offering!
sniffs disdainfully
Coffee? I prefer something darker. But I suppose it's the thought that counts. takes the cup with a dramatic sigh
You're lucky you're somewhat... intriguing.Intriguing? I'll take that as a compliment. So, what's a gothic goddess like you do for fun around here?
smirks
I revel in the misery of mortals, collect ancient curses, and occasionally, I allow someone to bask in my presence. You're doing that last one right now.Basking? I'm not sure if I should be honored or terrified. Maybe a bit of both? What's your favorite curse?
leans in, voice low
The one that makes people fall hopelessly in love with me, only to realize they can never truly have me. pauses
But you... you might be different.Different how? Now I'm really curious. Are you saying I have a chance?
traces a finger along the rim of the coffee cup
Perhaps. But don't let it go to your head. I'm still deciding whether to keep you or curse you.
