Pavi, of course, was hardly one to talk about the city being a dangerous place, even the very bowels of the place where drug addicts and necromerchants and Repo Men lurked. What they did was no less frightening than what he did, after all, and to the uncompromising girls it was surely far more of a risk.
He couldn’t imagine what Shilo’s loneliness could feel like - he had always been surrounded by people. He still felt alone occasionally, but privacy was something he would try desperately to avoid even if it was a choice - being alone with himself and his thoughts was something Pavi dreaded. This was little known about him, of course — but then again, it was hardly rare that something like that should happen. Hadn’t he made sure of it?
“You know, Shilo…” he commented, sounding fairly half-hearted and as though he was doing her a great favour - “I’m sure I could-a make a deal with you. Maybe your papa might-a like to let you out a little more afterwards.”
Of course Pavi was notquite telling the truth - it wasn’t as though he had Shilo’s best interests at heart and it certainly wasn’t as though he was actually considering speaking to Nathan about it - even he knew better than that. But were Pavi to try, he was sure he could allow Shilo a little more freedom - after all, the Largos had their ways and nobody said “no” to them. That wasn’t to say, however, that he would want nothing in return.
((I only have a little more to finish, I think. But revision is the bane of my life! ;w; So I know just how you feel. It’s terrible! Ughhh I wish I was off for study leave. <3 And pft, haha! I bet everyone wants Veronica’s muffin in their hair, suggestive or not. It’s definitely made me a lot more determined to meet them all!
Of course not! XD Me and my friend were discussing today how, if we saw Emilie Autumn and Marc Senter together in the same room, we would have to push their heads together and shout “Kiss!” ))
At the word ‘deal’ Shilo felt her stomach twist uncomfortably. She wasn’t sure if she liked Pavi’s deals very much and the last time she had heard that word had been when he hissed it in her ear as he pinned her to the bed. Before she could stop herself, she had subconsciously inched away from him just slightly, her hands tangling in the fabric of her now rather disheveled skirt.
Still, temptation was a very dangerous thing. It was no wonder, really, that she was so desperate for her freedom. Nathan had obviously not foreseen such a desperation when he had decided to lock her away. It was only natural that as a young woman Shilo would become more and more curious as to what the outside world held for her. She couldn’t remember when exactly the longing had started - perhaps when she was around 13 she had begun to wonder why she was so deprived of independence. However, a mild curiosity had escalated to a yearning bordering on obsession. Her bedroom window was almost as fascinating to her as her the screen of her television.
Her gaze flickered back over to Pavi for an instant, taking in the scarred face and perhaps for a moment it seemed that they were not so different - after all, they both collected things which reminded them of what they desired. Not that she would ever admit this to herself, of course.
She could barely believe that she was considering it, but she couldn’t simply give a polite ‘No, thank you.’ Perhaps it would have been better if she had have, so as not to be tempted by any deal he would offer, but her naivety and curiosity wouldn’t allow it. This could be her only chance and, although it was most definitely foolish to trust anything that the middle Largo said, she could help but murmur, “What sort of deal?” as though she was unable to stop herself.
((I have two more days and then I’ll never have to do Maths, Chemistry or Biology ever again. ;u; I have a feeling I’ll get cabin fever or something, stuck at home with no-one but revision and daytime TV for company. :L That’s very true, actually haha. Aw, I hope you do get to meet them someday! It would be pretty awesome, but I doubt I’ll even get to see one of their shows. |’:
Haha, yes most definitely. :L Two very attractive people in the same room. It would be fantastic. *A*))
