Tastes Too Good To Be Bad [Dark!AU, @ladyloki-countessofmischief]
*Natasha shrugs, pulling the fur throw she’s appropriated in the face of the cold a little tighter around her shoulders. Far cooler here than even the coldest of Russian winters, although that’s how she likes it.* You don’t know. However, given that you could kill me the moment you so much as expected a trap, I believe you are wise enough to recognise that my presence here is of my own volition.
What I want and what you want run in tandem at the moment. I tire of my masters - I’ve always worked far better with a mistress. *She allows the hint of a smile to curl at the edge of her mouth, before continuing.* You know my skillset. You’re really telling me that you could find no use for a woman like me?
I could kill you right now f I wished, for I am quite suspicious. Your message had come out of nowhere, simply a tad odd that I would get a message during an attack. Although I suppose I can see that you do not seem forced, nor do I sense a lie. Hmm.
*She crossed her arms over her chest and eyed her curiously for a moment.* Is that so? Ehehe. Aye, I am well aware of that skillset of yours, there are many things I could use you for. You would make things run a bit smoother when ever I attack countries. Is there some catch? I am also aware that many Midgardian do not simply switch sides without reason. Is there something that you want other than a change in side?
I am able to offer material things of course, but I assume that is not quite what you are after.. Mayhaps it is the look of shock on your friends that you hope to see, I assure you that, that is something I can get for you. Ehehehe.
Yes, I was far from questioning your ability to do so. My sense of timing, as always, is no accident - although I had hoped to arrive in time to see the battle for myself.
Well, history would suggest that my presence does tend to… expedite matters. *She’s smirking a little now, before composing herself.* I have my reasons, yes. Do you really require the mundane motivation behind my switch? It is hardly the first time I have chosen self-preservation over loyalty. Their loyalty is to a moral code, an ideal; perhaps I finally tired of serving those who use the abstract to defend their cowardice.
Is that enough for you?
