Her dear Kadaj? No. That wasn't going to work. He shook his head again faintly, glaring at her. "You mean you really don't know? I plan on killing you, along with everyone else in this city. Couldn't you tell?" He examined her almost curiously, wondering how she could have missed it. Was she really that oblivious?

She probably was. Shrugging, he began to circle her again, saying, "You've done more than enough to deserve it, you know. You've tried to control my feelings twice now, and I don't like that. Are you going to try to do it again? Because if so...." He raised one arm again, but rather than hold it to his head, he swept it outwards.

Immediately, a plume of black smoke shot out from under his feet, moving along the ground and finally materializing on top of it in the form of a snarling Shadow Creeper. He smirked as he watched it out of the corner of his eye, keeping the rest of his attention on Ai and how she was taking the creature's appearance. It wouldn't attack her until he ordered it too, but with the way it was clawing at the air and lashing its tail, it was hard to tell. "Well~?" he asked her, obviously pleased with himself. "Are you going to try? Or is it time for us to end this?"
