[What? Were you actually expecting her to record a voice message?]

There's always a reason and I'm not going to tell you that it's invalid. Why you want her gone. I don't agree with you, but nothing I can say will change your mind on that, so I'm not even going to try.

I haven't heard a lot about Cinder.

[He's not going to dignify her pang of guilt comment with a response. No sir.]

[threelayers]

An arrogant.
Power-mad.
Cocky little shit.

She's bent on stealing every last drop of power she can get, constantly gloats and goads everyone like she thinks it will get them off their game and they don't know she's really full of shit.
She's also a violent pyromaniac and psycho even by my standards.
Who just happens to be one of maybe six people on the planet who can do real magic, which makes her insanely powerful.

Fuck, I hate working for that bitch, waiting for a chance to kill her.
Ask Red sometime. She can tell you all about her.

[droptheious]

So what I'm getting here is that you really don't like her.

[threelayers]

I'm pretty sure her mother wouldn't like her.
There's maybe one dumb idiot who actually likes her, and worships the ground she walks on.
I kind of feel sorry for that girl.

Trust me.
If you ever meet Cinder, you will hate her more than me.
Me, you hate because I want to kill someone you love.
Her, she wants to kill her and just about everyone else to get what she wants.

[droptheious]

Well. I guess there's someone for everyone.

And what is it that she wants? Is it a revenge thing or is she after something more?

[It's...starting to slip a little too close to Cass for his liking and it's making him feel uncomfortable. He's sure Cass wouldn't kill anyone- hell, she directly told him she didn't want to hurt him. But he never intended to kill anyone when he started out and look where he ended up. ]

Power.
If that girl wants anything else, I haven't seen it.
She's as cartoon villain as they come.

This has been a treat, chitty-chatting with the boyfriend of the woman I plan to stab through the heart one of these days very soon. really, it's been a positive delight to break bread with someone who probably wants to turn me into a stone statue or something equally weird, but don't you think you've poked the bear long enough.

Trust me. Red knows all about Cinder. Ask her.

[droptheious]

Great. Wonderful.

Oh yeah. It's been a delight. Loved every second of it. I'll leave you to your... whatever it is you do when you're not trying to murder my girlfriend. Knitting? I'm guessing knitting.

[threelayers]

Jigsaw puzzles.
See you around, lover boy.
