Moses and the Burning Bush. [Closed]

Character(s): Axel, Kadaj.
Content: Axel plans on trying to capture a subject for his private endevours.
Setting: Ouside the "Fortess of Darkness".
Time: Late Tuesday night.
Warnings: None yet.

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight - why the bush does not burn up.”

It actually hadn’t taken Axel long to find the establishment. While it was a risk to go beyond the borders of the city, it was one he knew he must take; for the good of science, for the good of his own Heart that waited patiently for him a great reach away. He could locate this fortress, but not that, but it would do, because he knew all in all it would become a simple stepping stone on the path leading to his desire.

Axel slunk through the stretches of grassy field beyond the Muspelheim gates. It was a dry, airy grassland, but the night was frigid and bitter, and it was very uncomfortable for a creature of his composure – his very being was satiated upon a single flame burning within him. Slowly, his black-coated form moved through the plains, the vague, chilled wind brushing along his clothing and hair.

He came upon the fortress and stopped a ways away, but close enough for him to observe quietly. Crouching down under the brush, Axel observed the area like a lion sizing up its prey. He felt an odd thump in his chest and tensed—and suddenly, somewhere between him and the house of darkness, a single flame ignited amongst the grasses.

Kadaj's expression went from an almost embarrassed look of surprise to one fury almost immediately, and he had to take a moment to calm down before answering. Axel hadn't changed a bit since the last time he had seen him.

"I don't see how your little offer is supposed to appeal to me, Axel. Interest and excitement aren't the reasons why I'm here, and, believe it or not, neither is sex. Unless whatever it is your offering has more to it than that, I'm not accepting. You haven't even told me what you're really after, just dangled this in front of me like I'm just waiting for the opportunity to pounce. You don't really think it's that easy, do you?"

It was a little hard to not be interested at all by what Axel was saying, though. Especially that part about Ansem not being around for much longer... just what was he talking about?
