[Ow. That stings; both the boss remark and the almost-shove to his side. His body reacts, trying to step away from Alastor's hand with an awkward cringe and a stumble. He deserved it, probably. He also thinks it was worth it.]
Yeahhh... No. That's not the kinda fairytale I'll tell.
[Which is to say, if it's up to him, neither Valentino or Velvette will ever find out he was even here. He didn't tell them where he was going, or even that he was going at all. But fine, whatever, he's retreating now. As soon as he's outside of the hotel, he'll zip up into the air and land on top of Vee Tower, then go through the camera system to get straight to his room.]
[ He doesn't even wait until Vox is down the hall to shut the door behind him, bringing the issue to a close at least.
What had he gained? Not much other than a cup of two of blood, if that. There wasn't enough pressure released to even offer a dab of relief.
He has the answer to his questions now. If killing Vox isn't an option, and living with him isn't an option either, then the only choice is to eliminate the threat in some other way. And that was always the plan, anyway - he just needs more time, he just needs more power, he just needs to get through this, and he'll be able to find peace.
Maybe then they can have it too. He can be free if this sentiment. Until then, Vox has served his purpose, and ignoring him will have to be enough. ]
