[ Hey? Have at it. ]

[She's glancing around to look for any exits, but he's really got her in a bad position, here]

I would peg you more as the joker, myself. [They are both spades, yes.... her expression flickers a little at the jab, but she doesn't rise to the bait]

Hmm, why don't you tell me what you're doing? It's far past your bedtime.

[throning]

[ geez, you're really trying to piss him off tonight, aren't you croix? his expression distorts into something, ah—

deranged? eyes flashing with mischief, a grimace that reeks of rage. ]

You're a brazen woman. It's a shame that I have to put you in your place — you would've served as a useful ally to me.

[ he smirks, but the fire in his gaze clearly indicates that he's a touch angry right now. ]

But it's time for you to sleep now, [ he holds the axe firmly in his grasp. ] isn't it?

You could still serve as an ally to me - if you stop and think about what you're doing.

[She's got her own axe in hand, fingers tightening around the handle. For her part, she looks perfectly calm]

Think very carefully, boy, about your next move.

[ he's silent at that, lips pursed into a thin line. the expression on his face is unscrupulous; perhaps blank is an apt word for it.

calmly, he steps towards her—

and lurches forward, axe now in motion. ]

You made a mistake — and you'll pay for it, hag.

[She was ready for this, so she brings up her own axe in an arc to block--- she's not the strongest, physically, but she can hold him off. For now]

You're the one who made a mistake. You have no idea what you're dealing with!
