"They burn up as if they've touched sunlight?" Tessa guessed with a raised brow.

"Yep. And they expel a burst of energy that destroys everything non magical for miles around."

Tessa whistled, impressed. "Damn. Bad. Ass. Too bad I've never encountered a vampire before now."

Teresa laughed. "I've seen many of them. It's actually really cool."

Tessa ticked off her fingers as she spoke. "I've encountered gods–duh–wendigoes, demons, aliens, giants, titans, kitsune, dragons–again, duh–elves, werewolves, hellhounds, faeries, and a bunch of other things I can't be bothered to remember."

Teresa smirked. "And now you've met a Greek Primordial."

"Just one more thing to the list," she shrugged. "Honestly, it's all becoming less and less impressive the more I see. Less of an 'Oh my gods, they do exist!' feeling to an 'Oh my gods, another one?' feeling."

"I get that." Teresa shrugged, her wings emerging from her shirt.

"Oooo, you got wings too!"

Teresa grinned. "So do my brothers." She made a face.

She snorted. "I take it you don't like your brothers?"

"Eh. They just drive me crazy."

"True dat. My friend's siblings drive me nuts, and I'm not even related to them."

Teresa snorted. "My brothers drive me crazy. It doesn't help that they are mind-linked to me…"

Tessa screwed her face up. "That would suck."

Teresa gave her a rueful smile. "It does."

"So… Any particular reason why you're here?"

Teresa shrugged. "My brothers were being annoying. You see, I killed my older brother Cyrus's pet mortal, and now he's mad at me."

"Pet… mortal… Okay then…" Tessa inched back just a bit, giving Teresa a strange look.

She smirked. "That's just what I call it. It really means his bed mate, the love of his miserable life, the mortal that follows him around. You choose."

"Ah. That makes more sense." Tessa nodded, but didn't come closer. While she was relatively fearless, she wasn't stupid.
Well, most of the time she wasn't stupid.
This was thankfully one of those times.

"Does it?" Teresa grinned, her eyes glinting. For the first time, it seemed as though she may not have been entirely sane.

"I just said that, didn't I?" She narrowed her eyes slightly at the woman before her. Something was off–and Tess didn't like it.

Teresa smirked, the gleam gone. "Well, you did, but it doesn't make sense to most people." She rolled her eyes. "I don't get what's so hard to understand."

"Maybe because your 'definitions' are just your opinion fleshed out with more opinions," Tessa pointed out.
