Aurelius looked at the little guy who stared at him without fear, and a faint grin formed on his lips, "You've got guts, I'll give you that,"
Theo looked completely unbothered, "Thanks. I collect compliments in blood,"
The students nearby stiffened, but Aurelius only laughed. A rich, amused sound that seemed to vibrate through the room.
"Oh, that's refreshing," His eyes narrowed slightly at her, "You know who I am?"
"Someone with a loud voice and a god complex?"
Liam nearly choked on his food, but managed to quickly swallow it down.
Aurelius blinked, then smiled like she'd just confirmed something he already suspected, "You're either fearless or suicidal,"
"Bit of both," she replied, "Depends on who I'm dealing with,"
Their standoff was one of dominance against dominance, and it was the kind Theo enjoyed very much. Inside her, Seraphina stretched curiously, also enjoying the moment.
