She pressed tighter on the wound on her stomach as she tried to
stem the bleeding. Watching Issyah stand at the ready a frown
etched itself into her features. There had to be someway to cut
the thread.
As he spoke of Vandal, Liz, and Nico she could feel her anger
rising. She despised people who treated like things rather than
human beings and this one seemed to top that list. Plus this
guy was going around trying to get information out of people.
She could only be grateful that he didn't find Thea. She took a
step towards the two, still clutching her stomach. She tried to
get a read on both of their emotional states. She wanted to
know if Issyah was processing anything other than what Henry
wanted.
She kept her expression calm, but her words carried a venom
directed at Henry. [Color=teal]"Well Henry."[/color]. She
tested the weight of his name on her tongue. [Color=teal]"I
hate to break it to you but despite what you may think, they
aren't products. And it didn't really answer my question as to
where Vandal is currently."[/color]. She kept her eyes on him as
he clapped, clearly uneffected and practically ensuring he saw
so. [Color=teal]"Such a pity really...that your little tricks
don't work on me. Too bad for you I'm of a similar make. And
while you may not like not being in control....I intend to take
that control back from you. What do you say...you vs
me."[/color]. She laid the honeyed words thick trying to press
his buttons.

Myra watched on as the two talked. Her mind started to wander
when all of a sudden, a sound like thunder surrounded her, but
only for a fraction of a second. She shook her head. What the
heck was that? Did that come from the new character? She would
have to find some kind of ear plugs. Sounds that loud had to be
illegal somewhere. She casually started looking through her bag
while not making a sound.

his eye twitched notably at the challenge, but it quickly
disappeared back behind his facade. "you versus me? what would I
get from such a thing? " he looks at Issyah and a smile creeps
across his face once again. "how about we do it like old
honorable days. you know, with champions and what not. My
champion-" he puts a shoulder on Issyah "-versus your champion"
A crate in the far corner falls apart and sitting there was
Vandel, tied to a chair and unconscious

The faintest smile crept across her lips as she saw the eye
twitch. Good she was getting under his skin. It would be
easier to break through anything he tried if he was upset.
As he mentioned champions she frowned,and the noise of the wood
hitting the floor quickly drew her attention. Seeing it was
Vandal she headed across the room in a flash. As she neared him
she knelt down next to him checking his condition. "Vandal are
you alright?" She asked. If she could rouse him she would as
she untied the ropes.
As she did this she glared across at Henry. [Color=teal]"So you
want to stick to champions because you are too afraid to put
yourself up to the task. What are you? Some precious noble who
has never had to fight for themselves? I thought that kind of
archaic practice died long ago. If that's the case I don't know
why I was worried.". She stood next to Vandal her words like a
kind a sweet poison directed 100% at Henry.

"in a way I was. I will not I lie....I'm not much of a fighter"
His eye twitches again as she speaks of not being worried "not
worried?" he questions.

She placed her hand on Vandel's shoulder again to see if she
could wake him up. She glanced between him and Myra and Ego.
She needed to do what she could to contain the duel of sorts.
She looked again to Henry as his eye twitches. She shrugs and
speaks plainly. [Color=teal]"If you are not a fighter and stick
to tricks and elaborate set ups. How would you fair playing the
tactician in this kind of duel. It's not in the old days and
your champion is currently lacking a certian free will to fight
on his own."[/color]. She shrugged again watching for his
reaction to her jabs and attempts to throw him.
She needed to check one more thing before she stepped to make
her intentions known. [Color=teal]"What did you do to Vandal.
I'm sure you know his abilities and wouldn't just give him to me
as a champion."

Myra knew this was serious, but part of her wished she had
popcorn.

Vandel stirs, showing signs of conscious.
"he has free will, his actions are his own....he just believes
I'm his master and a champion will do anything for his master,
right?" he addresses the question to Issyah who nods. His eyes
weren't glazed like the others before him, it was like a storm
dancing behind them.
"they say words can build a house. and words can tear one down.
What do you think the words of an Awakened can do?" he says
with a smile "I can turn wives against husbands with a simple
word, I can alter a persons mind with a whisper....I can even
make an immortal, human"

Seeing Vandal show signs of consciousness Lya gave a small sigh
of relief. At least he was still okay. She let her fingers
trace from his shoulder over his collar bone as she continued to
wake him. She whispered softly so only Vandal could hear her.
Her words were sweet but concerned. [Color=teal]"I'm glad you
are still here Vandal. I'm sorry for this in advance but I need
you to listen to my voice only. Anything that's not my words
please don't listen to them."[/color]
The look in Issyah's eyes sent chills down her spine. She'd
seen the look of one who had false ideas planted in their heads
but held to it with unwavering conviction before. How had he
gotten so deep into Issyah's mind so quickly. She hadn't had
the time to search the memories to their full extend before the
stabbing of her stomach had occurred. The line about making an
immortal human made her breath catch as she looked at Vandal.
He had to be kidding right? He couldn't just turn his abilities
off.....right?
She sighed and crossed her arms. [Color=teal]"Free will and
actively forcing or changing the thoughts of another are
mutually exclusive. I know that as well as you do. It's easy
to mock free will,but we both know there are strings pulling him
like a marrionette doing what you want him too. Without any
influence he'd make far different choices."[/color]. She said as
she stepped forward towards the two and stood a mere step in
front of Vandal.

Myra watched in silence when she noticed a small puddle forming
under Lya.
"umm..." shesaid this, not wanting to speak out of turn, but
with a hint of curiosity. "Hey Lya, you know you're still
bleeding, right? You're guy could win and you'd still be near
dead from blood loss." Myra then ripped both legs of the pants
she was wearing from the bottom half to the knee and tossed the
strips at Lya.
"at least tie the wound with these." She shifted her weight on
Ego so that he could breathe easier. "You may be a good club
manager, but wow do you make a terrible chair." she said quietly
to Ego.
