Private Finished Why does this always happen?

"Conclusions offer varying degrees of satisfaction which in turn make me feel like the universe is in sync," Ecta countered, scoffing at the mere suggestion of it being fun arriving at this conclusion.

"And you should be grateful the small one suggested me doing this,' she said matter-of-factly as her intense blue gaze felt on Anita. "Cause my first and only idea was to, quite simply, partake of you and take back what was mine," she told him as she finally licked his cheek slowly, dragging her tongue along his skin, hoping to acquire the knowledge he had stolen from her.

She grinned at the compliments. Maybe she was good at negotiating? "What about kissing, Ecta, kay? You'd find exactly what he ate then, instead of what he is, kay"

If this worked, she'd be so happy.

"A kiss? Why would I ever do that?" Ecta asked Anita as she gave Alt's cheek another quick lick. This time she made a funny face as she assimilated the knowledge taken. The information she had gleaned from Altizica was not the information she had hoped to obtain. The licking had worked, but not as she had hoped.

"Bones and trapezohedrons, Altizica?" she said in a weird tone of disbelief as she looked at him like he was some kind of lunatic."You like bones and trapezohedrons?" she asked him, thinking that surely a mistake. A creature such as himself should like other things, grander things.

"Trapezohedrons, kay?" Anita had no clue what that was. It was probably some torture device. Maybe google could help her later. Regardless, stepping forward, she was intrigued by Ecta's power. She probably won't give permission to take, though. "Try me, what do I like?" She held out her hand.

Taking Anita's hand in hers, Ecta ran her tongue once across the young female Eldritch's palm, stopped for a moment, and then gave it another lick as she absorbed and cataloged information about her.

"Very interesting indeed," Ecta mused as she closed Anita's palm and let go of her hand. "Aside from the most obvious, your ability to remove powers...which is impressive," she had to admit. "You enjoy scary movies and sweets, chocolate is among your favorites. And you dislike water, and something called, uh, broccoli," she said looking at Anita, not overly familiar with Earth foods, and hoping she'd elaborate more on this strange food that she so hated.

Ecta just looked at Alt's hand as it squeezed hers, but as he squeezed, her hand dissolved as she moved her hand through his easily. "Do not threaten me, Altizica," Ecta replied coolly as she looked directly at him, her face impassive and stone-like. However, her eyes, flashing and swirling now like a distant nebula, were the only part of her that suggested real anger.

"You should know better than to do that by now," she remarked as she suddenly stood up, passing through his body like a ghost and letting his head fall to the ground with a thud.

"I am not some ..." here she spat out an Eldritch word for an untrustworthy and extremely unsavoury individual. "that you can threaten like that. Have a little respect for your equals," she said, admonishing him for his bad and unnecessary behaviour.
