Neverwinter Forest Where there is a flame

With her sudden display of defense, Lawless' tail lifted to arch above his back, feathering slightly as the nerves sent a shudder along his spine, just enough to set the hairs standing on end like quills. She spoke but he didn't care to resort to the back and forth of an argument. Lawless did her the courtesy of allowing her to finish speaking- and was yet again reminded that the female was sexist and had judged him simply because he was a male. This had come immediately after he'd done her the service of offering her a free meal- her delayed appreciation and ever-present rudeness meant to him that she'd earned exactly what she was being given.

Without a sound, Lawless closed the small gap between them, but did not attack. His eyes were still engaged with hers, the mesmerizing blue orbs which fiercely held his own. "I gave you food without asking anything in return, and your first reaction is to be rude and immature. And then you begin slinging gender-based insults. Women like you complain about how horrible men are, but you never see that you're the ones who create them with your own slander." He said. His voice was low but brimming with energy. "If you'd said 'thank you,' and hadn't judged me by my body, it wouldn't have come to this." He said, holding his ground, teeth bared only just enough to be ready for use should she decide to attack. He remained strong, dominant, but spoke with an eerie kind of quietness.

"We're not all monsters."
