@OfHerWorth "You're wanting a warrior's death. Admirable. Has there been anyone close to causing such a glorious scene?"

Purgatori, herself, had been close to Death, figuratively, and literally. Death, was something that was always in the back of her mind.

In truth?

It angered her.

• seat on said wings. One leg crosses over the other, and she clasps both hands in her lap.

"That being said, I have heard stories about you. Many speak of your accomplishments and misfortunes. Which, brings a curious notion my way."

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

"None. You have no true reason to trust me. Why, just by looking at me, one would consider me to be quite menacing to look at. The simple aura of malicious intent oozes out of me."

Purgatori would then extend her wings out, propping them behind her as a chair, and takes a •

For a moment, she's still —— watching as the stranger remains fearless at the point of her blade.

With an exaggerated sigh of displeasure, she quickly withdraws her sai, returning it to her hip.

"And what reason have I to trust you?"
⠀

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@OfHerWorth It was, odd, to hear such kindness. Rarely was she ever afforded such gentleness. Chaos, turmoil, violence, was what her life mostly consisted of.

Yet.

There Purgatori was, befriending someone. How different.

"May I know more about you, Artemis? May I know your story?"

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

"They would be lucky to have me as one of their own, but, no. I am not. I am much more....demonic."

Still walking toward her, she reaches the point of the sai, as it lightly pokes her in the neck.

"Will you be attacking? If so, know this, I am no enemy of yours."

Dark eyes narrow over her mask. The weapon doesn't lower either, even if some of the tension does loosen from her shoulders.

"Curious about what? Are you with Vaeternus?"

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@OfHerWorth Purgatori hadn't been complimented in a very long time, so, this made the winged demon blink a few times in response.

"It has been ages since someone said such nice things to me. Understandably so, as I have a plethora of enemies."

Rarely did she ever make friends with someone.

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@OfHerWorth "Admirable? Me? Now, that's something I haven't heard in quite some time."

Once Artemis teased her, she would look away with a small pout.

"Hmph! As if that is the only reason. It is simply one of many."

Looking back at Artemis, Purgatori would give a smirk followed by a wink.

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@OfHerWorth "A warrior through and through. Admirable. Happiness is a fleeting emotion. It ebbs and flows. Truly, it isn't something I've been afforded much of. Just the sight of me makes many wither away."

Thinking, she would smile lightly.

"Would it be alright if I stuck alongside you?"

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@TheKlonedHeir "I certainly have my moments of wisdom."

Arms crossed, she would glance at Mileena's sharp teeth. Admiring the ferocity they showed.

"I am Purgatori. May I have your name?"

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

With a weapon brandished, Purgatori tilted her head, and would then point to the sai.

"Now, now. Calm yourself. I am not here looking for a fight. Rather, more so, I am here out of curiosity."

The winged demon would then take a few steps forward. Unafraid, unfazed.

It's rare that the Empress gets time alone —— out of sight from her guard or other prying eyes. Interruptions to that solitude were unwelcome.

It takes only a moment for her to notice the other figure. And even less for her sai to be drawn and brandished.

"𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠."

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@OfHerWorth Purgatori would nod as Artemis spoke about fate. It was refreshing to meet another who thought the same. Fate, was such a fickle thing many cling too long to.

"Eloquently put, Artemis. I agree. Fate is something one makes of it. Is that what you seek? Happiness?"

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@TheKlonedHeir Purgatori got a bit curious now, and would lean in slowly. Looking at all her teeth, she would tilt her head from one side then the other.

"People can often not see the beauty in things. It is quite sad."

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@REDlVELVETS Blinking several times, Purgatori looks to the side to see who it was. Seeing the human, she raises a brow, before tilting her head.

"Hmm. How bold."

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@OfHerWorth • she was cold, vile, malicious, violent, bloodthirsty.

Yet.

This time, she held no anger. More so, a fondness for the kindness that was given and shown.

"Artemis, do you believe in fate?"

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@OfHerWorth Seeing the extended hand, she tilts her head a bit, then places her hand within. Retracting her claws, she grabsthe hand firmly.

"Purgatori. It is a pleasure, Artemis. I shan't forget what you have done for me. I am grateful."

It wasn't everyday Purgatori was nice. Usually, •

@nightlurks Now, that's just harsh to comment on one's appearance.

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

"I am always in control."

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@BloodSoaking "Is it? All are evil. None are safe from the word nor its meaning. Where one sees evil, another may see good, and vice versa. I have come to you, in good faith. There is no evil intent, nor any trifling being brought about."

She grows silent, but then muses.

"Do you hate me?"

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@BloodSoaking "I will admit, I am very difficult at times, violent, cruel, malicious, yet, there are moments where I am not."

Sighing lightly, she wraps her arms then wings around her body.

"I'm not as evil as one would think."

[𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢 @SanguinaryVamp]

@BloodSoaking "Being ruthless is part of who I am. Of you. Of many others. Being ruthless is not necessarily an atrocious trait, simply, it is how it is used that can make it atrocious."

Tilting her head from one side to the other, Purgatori grows curious.

"Am I such a vile sight to behold?"
