Gorandis was quick to retort back with mentioning her looks until it came to her act of apparently being a brat. She glared at him in the eyes, unamused by him. She shook her head, not caring for Vindictus all too much or the rune Gorandis had placed on him.

She watched the direction of his eyes, their movement and what they glanced at to which she hid her hands behind her back... not again..

She was pissed..

ANNOYED.

She gave Gorandis a deathly glare for a moment, all eyes in the bar on her and the hellstorm man until each pair looked back to Robin who.. CAPTAIN OBVIOUS, spoke about complying with Gorandis and avoiding a spar with him. Salem grew more annoyed, but thankful Robin was trying to help. Salem shot her eyes back to Gorandis.

"I have grown up, and I'm not a damn brat! Vindictus is abusive, but thanks for asking about a man I don't seem to care much for anymore." She paused, letting out a rough, loud sigh and lifting her left hand to her face. She looked past it back to Gorandis and took another step back, bumping into a stool behind her.

"I'm much more in my place with it. Why would I please you by ripping off my own hand for a SECOND time?! Can't you just ever converse like a normal person without demanding a limb?! Maybe I will rip it off, but tell me what the hell your problem is first!"

It was possible she would comply to avoid the trouble, but she didn't want the man to leave just yet. Somehow, for some odd reason, he seemed interesting to her. Who knew why, not even she did, but this WAS the man who forced her to take off her hand the first time and now a second time? She took another step back and groaned, falling back against the floor and backing away from him.

"Not doing as I say, eh? Ah, ah ah..." He waggled his finger at her, hellstorm striking off the tip at random. "You should do as Robin suggests and just do as I say. But no, you didn't do so did you? And now you demand things from me?" He shook his head with a sigh as the winds once more began to encircle him. "I thought you'd learned your lesson the first time."

The storm around him reached a crescendo and coalesced around his form, ready for another small burst of combat. nothing too serious, no, he wasn't going to go as far as to kill anyone. But the anger had taken deep root now and even the smallest slight becomes the greatest infraction. He is not somebody who likes to be told No.

And this was the second time Salem had done so... it wasn't going to be very pleasant for her. It was going to be painful and humiliating, perhaps not debilitating though, if she managed to play her cards right...

She looked to him wagging a finger at her the moment his magic sparked at the tip of it. She didn't flinch or even jump at the spark though when he mentioned Robin, she looked over with a blank expression on her face before glaring back at Gorandis. She raised a brow at the man's anger.

"I..." She gazed around at the many pairs of eyes focused on her and him, focusing herself back in his direction and picking herself up from the ground. She let out a sigh, attempting to calm herself. She was somewhat drunk, Oh boy.. She spoke up, LOUD AND PROUD, chuckling a bit before she spoke too!

"Not doing as you say? You might as well own me then if you think I'm going to listen to some man's demands. I guess I'd rather just conversate.. I wasn't looking for a fight.. I did learn my lesson the first time...

I...I.." She holds her runic hand back, thinking then about ripping it off. It wasn't going to hurt, right?! It was a boned hand with fake skin over the top though... seared to her bone by a rune. Now that might hurt more than what she would expect, but she supposed she would comply after the battle. Maybe she could use him for now to test her own strength and see how much she has grown since their last encounter!

Another casual battle, nothing too strenuous, the lightning cascading off him from her attacks did no more than sting really, as if someone had slapped him a long time ago and the pain was just fading. It was... pathetic really, just like the first one she fell so easily. Just like the first one she soon learned her place. He gripped her runic arm and lifted her by it.

"Shoddy work all over it... Who even made this? Some amateur? I'm surprised you weren't ready to rip it off long before I ever came in here. My word... Well, you have your orders and you know what I want you to do. Grovel, beg and offer me your runic hand as tribute and then... then we can have that talk you want... If you earn it that is."

"Because if you say the wrong thing, one of you two might die. Which one? Who knows? I don't even know yet, how exciting. So, please, Miss Salem, was it? Please go ahead and make you choice. Kneel, beg and sacrifice or... Get somebody killed. What would you like to do? Option A or Option B? Life or death. Do you see it?"

"You almost have power over someone else's life for the very first time... how do you feel? Strong, proud, happy? Or miserable?"
