She scoffed at his reply, "Well you should. You might learn something" Idiotic foreigners who thought they could judge. "I work in Law Enforcement" She spat out. "I'm not as ignorant as some people" Her lips formed in a terse line and she glared at him, "Anyone? You think anyone can raise their wand to someone and kill them? Really? Is that what you believe? God, you really have no idea do you?" She rolled her eyes and sat back in the chair, his jacket long forgotten on the floor. She would freeze and dehydrate before she accepted anything else from him. Torn between her plan and the familiarity of her surroundings, of him. "It takes a certain type of person" She choked out. Yes, it certainly did. She trembled slightly recalling the noise and the blood and the pain. She chewed her bottom lip ignoring his note-writing. His outburst caused her to flinch as she glanced down at the notebook. He'd probably figured it out by now. Bella frowned, what lie would she drege up this time? "Why are you so angry?" She asked,"Hmm? Why?" She was moving into enemy areas and she would be hard-pressed to get out alive, or at least with her alias in tact.
The reaction she got from the name was not the best. He knew. He'd been looking for her. She watched his anger spill from him and Bella sighed, "Ajahil" She replied simply, "I was meant to..I mean.. I killed him"
Warren looked at Bella as he answered her question and could sense a slight discomfort, "Well the difference there is I am not here confessing to being a murderer." Seeing her frown he scoffed, "Trust me there's and was only one love in my life and it's not you. Can't say I'm particularly in to murderers..." Wow he almost seemed more relaxed there instead of just jumping down her throat.
Alexa would be proud... Swallowing he looked down at his watch to hide his own discomfort.
Hearing her speak again he frowned and made another note, "Law enforcement huh. Which one? It'll make it easier to verify what you say." Twirling his quill again he found himself running his fingers along the deep scar on his face as she spoke. "Yes...I know very well what it takes...and how it feels..." he looked at her meaningfully and then back at his parchment. He had done a lot of things that could label him a murderer or worse under the protection of different ministries.
His blue eyes bore into hers as he waited for an explanation. This was getting too close to home for him. Glancing at Prometheus and at his watch again before turning back to Bella he frowned. "The name is familiar to me." he said simply before going back to twirling his quill. "Meant to...and you wander why it is I don't believe you. Slips like that makes it hard to believe. Murderers don't often want to be caught." Making another note he looked toward the door. "How do you know this Ajahil?"
