They both waited till Patrick left before they really looked at each other and a grin touched Daniel's lips.
"He's always interesting isn't he?" Said Daniel as he leaned against the frame between hallway and living room.
"Yes he is...so tell me..."
"Who was I talking to earlier? Why don't you venture a guess dear detective."
"I can't be Adam since even with his gifts, he can't do that without being close by...but I am going to assume that he...well you were talking to yourself."
"Oh? Why eliminate Adam so quickly? He could have grown in power in the last couple of weeks."
"Sadly the man Adam can talk big, but his abilities are not that grand. He can create illusions to those that he meets, but he would still be there in the flesh and he is a talented astral planer, but there would still be a form of residue."
"I see you have done your homework. Now I would like you to tell me what you saw when you touched me earlier this evening, detective," smiled Daniel as he walked up to him slowly.
Paul kept his stoic face and didn't flinch as the shorter man stopped in front of him. He remembered what he saw and it disturbed him partially. Normally he can't see anything like that unless..."You allowed me to see all of that..."
"Good job. I knew you were no fool and you know that between you and I...I will be the victor as well," grabbing Paul's hand he brought his rough fingers to his lips as he licked them seductively. "Would you like a taste of this whorish body? He can remain under his own spell of happiness and he will never know that his body was defiled. Just like that time when he first started out here with the plant."
Paul removed his hand quickly and made a offensive gesture in which Daniel slid back a few feet. Okay...this has just gotten a lot weirder than I thought.
"Tsk tsk...that bloody hurt a little. Well if you won't allow me to be your partner, then I can always fuck your little friend since that's what he likes. He's annoying however when he babbles about love and I know he doesn't really love the man. Who could? This thing has been fucked by people and things and I know you know what I mean." Daniel undid his shirt partially as he licked his lips. "Sure the death of his grandmother was a hard blow. But not as hard as his family treating like me a dirty little secret and do you know why detective?"
The question hung in the air as Paul knew that Daniel was waiting for the simple reply. "Why?"
"Why don't I show you?" With that Daniel didn't move as Paul flew across the room hitting a wall and came back, his body slamming against the floor at Daniel's feet.
Paul coughed as the wind was knocked from him and groaned in pain. He didn't say or move...so how?
Before that thought was finished he was lifted as Daniel brought him to eye level. "I got so many more things to show you, detective. Shall we continue?"
(Will continue on if Patrick wishes to stay outside and watch. Just thought you would like a little post ^^)
