So much fury, and that lovely little hint of fear to offset it.
"Are there not leash laws in this neighborhood?" he wondered. He let the door open wider, his cane leaning against the wall. His elbow slid higher on the door frame so he could rub his hand suggestively over the top of his hair, where he was sure her ears were hiding on her own head.
Unless there was some other reason she tasted like white pepper and wore such an awful hat. He doubted it.
"I used to bathe in Chardonnay, mais – non. Come back when you are old enough for tits, and I will tell you why I stopped. We are not all so lucky as to have someone to brush us, are we? I would suggest your whore mother – if she is, as you say, available for hire – but I do not think that I would trust such cheap hands with such a fine thing." He raked his nails through his hair; dissipated he may have been, but his crowning glory was still just that. "I think however I would invite her only for the pleasure of my company, as a kindness to her, for she surely deserves better than this." He gestured to the whole of her. "Better a whore than a bitch, non?"
"Feh." Without warning, he reached out to tug the box – and the rest of her – closer. He slid books around carelessly to see the covers. "Trash, trash, all of it worthless to me." Her own emotions overwhelmed whatever dull reflections these pages held, and that was all the value they held for him. Unless she had some very specific non-fiction about some very specific years, they were useless.
Except. At the bottom of the box, he thought there might be something. Enough of something that he'd have snatched it up immediately from most stores. He pulled the hardcover out from under the other books, turning it around to examine it closer.
