Even? Michah knew no sort of self-defense, or anything, except for his magic. This was not even. But he wasn't going to tell her that. "So what now?" he asked as he stood up.
-
Freya glanced at him, crossing her arms. "Well. I don't get paid until you're dead. But you seem like a tough guy... Tougher than I expected. So I'd like a little chat. We've got the time, after all."
-
Michah raised his eyebrows. "A...chat?" She was meant to kill him and she wanted to chat. He sat in a chair and invited her to sit in the one nearby. "So tell me, what would you like to chat about?"
-
Freya sat down, staring intently at him. "I want to know what all you are capable of. You seem very powerful."
-
"Believe it or not I started out as the weakest magician," Michah said. "I am capable of a great many things, but everything has its limits."
-
She leaned back into her seat, staring at him. "..I can see how you've captured the worst criminals. You're very strong. You had me worried I was a goner." She paused, grinning. "Did you really have a plan to handle me, or were you bluffing back there?"
-
"Let's just say that no one's broken into my home before," Michah said. "I'm really very impressed."
-
Freya looked down, but that couldn't keep the proud smirk from crossing her face. "You forgot to ward the windows. Probably just dumb luck, really."
-
"Ah, so that's how," Michah said. "Might I ask a few questions now?"
-
"Go for it," Freya leaned forward slightly, curious. "What's on your mind, mage?"
-
"Well, one, why do you want to have a conversation when I can be killed right now?" Michah asked.
-
"I've handled a lot of self-proclaimed mages before, but your defenses were pretty strong. If you hadn't fumbled with your wards, I would have never made it inside." She scrunched up her nose, making a face. "..I'm fascinated by you, Michah. I want to understand why you are such a high-stakes bounty. I have never seen a job listing with a reward so high."
-
"So once you figure me out then you plan to kill me, I see how it is," Michah said. "Well I'm sure I've put some of your organization's people behind bars, so I'm sure they'd like me to stop doing that. Or if someone outside of that organization was offering the money to have me dead, I'm sure I know who it is."
-
"I'm glad you understand," Freya replied. However, she felt strange when he mentioned that she'd end up killing him. Something within her didn't want to actually carry out the assassination. "How do you do it? How do you figure out who's in the organization? And how do you know where they'll be? You've busted some of the most notorious members."
-
"Scrying," Michah said. "Seeing other people in other places using something reflective, usually water or a mirror. Of course there has to be something reflective by what I'm trying to scry, but I've found plenty of those."
