"Exactly!" The glint in her eyes intensified. "Would you mind if I tried something while you're in that form?" "Which one? I started as a human, so this is just as unnatural." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Probably the other form." Quote Do you mind if her allomancy temporary turns him completely human? I think that would make the most sense in this particular situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cilliss grinned, and uncorked one of her vials, drinking it with one quick gulp. She walked over to him, touched him, and burned her chromium. He immediately shifted back. He looked different. She smirked. "It seems like my allomancy still works." She stopped burning her chromium, and stepped back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"And how large is your smuggling empire?" She muttered under her breath. She herself had created a large smuggling operation, and had made millions of boxings.

"Look, dear," he said, looking up from his now red cloth. "I get that you're trying to impress me and trying to assert dominance, but I don't care about that kind of stuff enough or care about how young you were when you fell for that trap. This 'impressing' me is not going to work, because I'm not criminal. Being amused that I had a somewhat normal childhood till I made my choice to follow the mindset of the world is nothing to be proud of, my dear." Coldness showed in his hazel eyes. "So what you made a criminal network when you were young? That only tells me that you weren't cared enough when you were a kid, that you didn't have enough drive to make the decisions you did. What I do is execute justice, and that's it. I do it now because I see where my world has gone wrong, and I want to make it better for people like me. You can run your cute smuggling business, but I am going to make my world better, because I know where people went wrong." The man shook his head, wiping his hands on the bloodied cloth. "Money is only a physical object that so happens to make Nihil feel like they're the ones in power," he said, the coldness becoming clearer in his eyes. "You can keep up with your smuggling operation. That's the least of my concerns. I don't need criminals in order to achieve what I want, and I certainly don't need to be told off by a thirteen year-old." He looked her over. "If that's your real age, that is." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
