"Delicacy?" She hissed. "The fuck I'm no shrinking violet! I'm trying to be civilized, you bastard."
*She yanked back, hard, enough to at least throw him off balance if not removed herself from his grip*
"And I'm NOT lying!" She was shaking with rage now, the anger from earlier resurfacing.
"I've told you the truth about me--I am from Paris, my mother did die, I do sense these things, regardless if I like knowing what I know or not! I don't want this power, you hear me? I'd rather live a normal life, but that's not in the cards, now is it?!"

"I have no use for civility, you scheming chit! And as for your power--all you have revealed to me is what I already know, by God do I already know it!"
*He took hold of her chin and pushed her away violently, carelessly sending her to the floor.*
"If you have been sent here with designs on my fortune or my heart, I regret to tell you that the former will be at no one's disposal but my own and the latter is dead--or did your spectral voices already inform you of that?" *he sneered derisively.*

*She jumped to her feet, heading straight for him, her hand connecting with his cheek in a resounding slap*
"I don't give a damn about your stupid money and I certainly don't give a damn about anything else! And my power...you want to see it, do you? That's all you freaking care about, is it? Hmm? Do you want it? DO YOU REALLY?"
*She was practically in his face now*

*His hands gripped either side of her face, hard. His eyes darted frantically, his gaze blurred and unfocused as he trembled in the waves of sheer energy flowing from her now. She had something...and he wanted it.*
"Help me..." *he hissed.*

*She grabbed his arms, as though to push him away, but instead only gripped tightly*
"I don't even know what you want. The what or the why."

"Teleute..."
*He whispered the word, but in it was all his soul.*
"You have her mark. You must."

*She froze at the name. Teleute. Grandmother death. There was no hiding the look on her face*
"How...how could you know that name?"

"I know you must think me callous, but I at least know the name of the woman I killed."

"What? No, you can't--deaths do not die." She said firmly.
It was, her father had always stressed, the one thing she could be sure of when it came to their kind.

*Tony half-smiled, the way a madman might.*
"Oh no?" *he murmured.* "I felt it when her breath ceased to flow...when her heart stopped beating...I watched...and did nothing...as the light faded from her eyes."

*Treszka shook her head emphatically*
"I know...the different deaths don't all do things the same way. But...doesn't she go through a cycle? I heard--"

"--I broke it. I broke her. She suffered as she has never suffered before--at my hands."

"That can't be right." But even as she was shaking her head, she sounded unsure.
"Look--I don't know these things for certain. I'm not the one you should be asking. I'm only--"
*And yet, in spite of everything, she still wanted to keep at least that from surfacing. Rebecca didn't know. In fact, only Rudolf knew the truth of her parentage*

"...you know enough. More than I--please, help me to find her. You must help me, damn you, or I..."
*He broke away, staring at her desperately. For all his threats, he was clearly a broken man.*
