Roman
How troublesome...
This stranger's words did pique her interest a bit. He was purposely seeking her out? Because her powers caught his attention? What did that mean? Her powers that seemed to only cause trouble? What kind of guy was he? Her expression was neutral, almost blank and lifeless as she stared at him. “Well I’m sorry to disappoint you, I’m not worth putting any attention on.” Again, her voice sounded defeated with a metallic ring. However he seemed to be really insistent in at least trying to looks like he really was interested, and her eyes fell to the crate he placed in front of her. It was turned all to metal of course, as it would be since it was in the alleyway that was still continuing to be turned to metal. The longer she stood here, the more the metal spread, not that she cared. She looked down at the crate before looking back at the stranger, still trying to wrap her head around why he was here. He seemed to be acting like he wanted to talk to her, like some kind of counselor or therapist. “I’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish by talking to me, but whatever kind of person you’re looking for obviously isn’t me. I mean, look at me.” She held out her hands, showing her palms and a silver spiderweb pattern that interlaid itself there. The pattern seemed to also spread a bit up her wrists, and a further look at her would show a very light etching of the pattern across the rest of her skin. Her face, however, was clear of it. “You don’t want to get involved with... this.” She sighed, her arms falling to her sides. “Besides, I don’t care about anything, anymore. Why should I be interested in why you’re here? What would you want with something like me?” Her curiosity about this man still seemed to peel through her obvious hatred of herself and her situation, and how genuinely lost she felt.
Elyse Glenn
Elyse didn't bother to move from the spot she stood in, more waiting to see what this stranger would do or say. She'd be able to feel through the metal under their feet if he started moving, so there was no need to make a move yet. If she was being honest with herself, she was surprised that it took someone this long to actually come up to her, but she figured they were probably all scared of her or just kind of weirded out by her. That was fine. She was nothing more than a freak anyways, a shell of a human for a living metal host, a freak experiment gone unfortunately right. They had every reason to avoid her... yet this guy seemed to actively be searching her out. Wanting to maybe find out the reason why, Elyse finally willed herself to turn around, her eyes finally resting on the figure of the man now in front of her. He didn't quite look as she expected he would. His voice made him sound a little more imposing than he looked, but looks could be deceiving. She was the living definition of that, after all.
Seeing as how his offer for a seat was rejected, Perfect took it himself, willing to give it to her if she changes her mind at some point. His presence obviously confused her, Why would he seek her out? Probably one of the many questions she had bouncing around that human brain of her's. It would make sense though, as from what Perfect saw on his way to her, everyone who had saw her seemed scared or even angry with her, despite not knowing her. Perfect would inspect her, as the two of them were in the same area.
When told there was no point in putting any attention on her, Perfect tilted his head, narrowing his eyes on the girl. It was something he noticed before, but it was quite apparent that she was troubled. That something was getting to her... Or had already gotten to her. "It's not what I'm trying to accomplish. It's what I can help YOU accomplish. I simply wish to help you, that is if you're willing to help me in return." Perfect said in response to being told that she wasn't the kind of person he was looking for. And she was right. She wasn't, but he could help her get back to her old ways. Help her realize that there's more to whatever she's been seeing. More than whatever is making her behave the way that she is. "Trust me, you're not what I expected when I came seeking after you, but finally seeing you, I see someone who's lost too much. You're probably afraid of losing what little you could gain again. That is if you're currently seeking what you've lost before. At the current moment, you may just be a mess, but you can easily be fixed." He said, watching as the skin on her arms became metal. Placing his hand on her arm, Perfect used what little power he had managed to save up, to negate her abilities, causing the metallic skin to return to normal. "Unfortunately, I do wish to get involved with... That. Because I can help you. I may sound like a broken record when I say that, but it's true. You're living the life of a shell once full of life, but for some reason drained by something. It also seems like you view your powers negatively, but if you come with me, I can help you control them. I can help you own what's yours. That's why you should be interested in why I'm here. I want something like you because I need people who I are similar to me in a way, because just like you, I'm a broken person too, seeking something in this life. Would it be bad if we help one another gain what we seek?" Perfect asked, taking his hand off of her arm and reaching out towards her for a handshake. "I can promise you anything and everything you want. All you have to do is accept my offer." Perfect's voice was sincere at this time. He meant every word in which he had just said to this girl. "So?"
