i had a way then, losing it all on my own
i had a heart then, but the queen has been overthrown
i'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
and i'm not keeping now, the strength i need to push me

Pierce immediately stepped back and shot her gaze at his face to see his reaction. This was the best part about anything they did. It was never the words of anger or hatred or even surprise that satisfied her. It was always those precious few moments after she had completed her task. For in those few moments, one could see the true nature of their soul. Would they be the type to let their emotions control them? Or maybe they were they type to plan revenge later. All this was key for her success. The more she knew about an individual without having them know it, the better she would be a breaking them. Her dark eyes wandered back to look at him as a whole.

She listened and almost hung on the words he spoke after his.. hair cut. Suddenly some kind of heavy, unknown accent came from his mouth. Had he tried to impress her? Or was he hiding who he truly was? Pierce went with the latter. Another piece to the puzzle, so they say. She simply ignored his strange.. language and positioned herself in front of him so they could stare into each other's eyes.

"No questions? Well how do you think you'll 'get to know me' then, ey?" Pierce knew he couldn't mind read her or suddenly know everything he wanted to know. I mean, what did he think he would do to know more about her? Pierce had grown into a master of her own game and learned to never let her weaknesses be discovered. So she decided to begin this herself since Nikola seemed to not have a clue on how to get to know someone. Well, her anyway. "I was born in a land far from here. You could say I get my attitude from my mother, Desdemona," she wasn't usually one to talk alot but she had nothing better to do. Plus this information was pretty useless. "Never knew my father. Heard he was a beast from hell. Guess i'm the devil spawn." she gave out what could be considered a chuckle. "Don't know how I ended up here. My mother's here too, somewhere." Pierce didn't care much where her mother was at. They had been really close when she was a filly, but as she grew and her devil inside blossomed, they became more of acquaintances then mother and daughter. They possessed the same hot spirit. Ha, if Nikola knew there was another Pierce roaming around, he might just keel over right there. Being who she was though, she didn't give out any information that could lead to a weakness. If he wished to know more than these basics he would have to show some effort.
