[have_no_mercy]

It's not unusual for Tess to be entertaining a guest. It's really not unusual for that guest to be Zod. What isn't the norm is that he's not the only person she's expecting.

It's time, they've decided, to put their plan into action, to attempt to rid themselves of one of the nuisances in their lives. Darkseid has been summoned to the mansion on the pretext of potentially another adventure or evening of games. Security has been told to notify Tess when he arrives and everything else is in place for what's really going to take place. Or so she - and Zod - hope.

So until he does make his presence known, they'll just have to wait. One way or another, it's going to be an interesting evening.

"Well, I wouldn't if someone didn't keep distracting me," she says pointedly, turning back to work on the task at hand. "Besides, I am rather fastidious."

"Fastidious about your water?" he asks, giving her an amused--and knowing--glance back over his shoulder. "I had no idea."

[have_no_mercy]

"About most things, actually." Finally, she seems to be finished pouring and only when he's seated again does she start back for the couch herself.

"I see."

Once he is seated, he'll just lean back and watch her with that familiar mix of amusement and extensive knowledge etched into his expression. Her journey back toward the couch will be observed almost expectantly.

When she arrives, Tess half sits on the back of the couch, her right hand out of view, and sips her oh so carefully poured water. "Am I not allowed to have my idiosyncrasies?"

[darkseidofmoon.livejournal.com]

"You have plenty of idiosyncrasies, Tess," he informs her calmly, turning slightly to look at her. "None of which require my permission."

[have_no_mercy]

She tilts her head to look down at him better. "Oh, good. I'd hate to think I was normal."

[darkseidofmoon.livejournal.com]

"Ah, but you're not just abnormal. You're special," he replies softly, searching her gaze. "Or are you in need of another reminder?"

[have_no_mercy]

"I hardly think those were indications that I was special," she replies in kind. "Merely that you like my pretty face."

[darkseidofmoon.livejournal.com]

He lifts his innocent eyebrows again at that. "And to what indications would you be referring?"

[have_no_mercy]

She sips her water again and then sets her half-finished glass aside. "You know very well what I'm referring to."

[darkseidofmoon.livejournal.com]

"I haven't the slightest idea," he states dryly. "I'd like to think I've made it quite clear that your specialness is more than just skin deep and goes far beyond your pretty face, beautiful as it may be."

[have_no_mercy]

Tess shifts a bit closer to him, placing her left hand on his shoulder. "Mmm. Right. My super special destiny."

[darkseidofmoon.livejournal.com]

"Yes," he agrees with a slight nod, lifting his own hand to trace a finger over hers. "But I'm sure I don't have to remind you of that. You're much too focused to lose sight of your destiny."

[have_no_mercy]

"That's right," she agrees softly. "I'm very, very focussed, especially when it comes to my destiny." Then she leans in to whisper in his ear, her right hand finally coming into view-- and pressing a Kryptonian blade to his neck. "But I'm not convinced you're part of it."
