Tig liked to think she could light a cigarette without melting her face off but admittedly she probably wouldn't attempt it unless she was trying to look like a badass.

As much as she'd tried to prepare herself for the lit cigarette she still couldn't completely override the violent urge to cough. She had to settle for loudly clearing her throat seeing as she couldn't quite suppress it completely. Her jaw involuntarily clenched at the sudden thought of Ellory and she nearly snapped the cigarette in half. Merlin's beard she'd spent the whole day soothing herself with imagining Ellory's violent departure from the world and while it had worked at first, now it only made the bloodlust stronger. Was there anyway she could quietly murder her in the night and not get in trouble for it? Would it be wise to suggest it to Tiberius once they were alone?

Shit how long had she left him hanging? "If you could get rid of one of them, who would it be?" Probably not the best thing to be asking him for a multitude of reasons but her head was still caught up in murder fantasies she'd probably never act upon. Not that evening anyway. Probably.

Hopefully.
