Vlad hissed as Discord slipped past him. Upon hearing the boy's taunt Vlad paused. His threat level had risen consistently - it was difficult to keep himself from lashing out in rage. Instead, Vlad forced himself into a sort of stressed calm. His teal eyes locked on Discord, and the tall male clasped his hands behind him as though mimicking the other.
"All your talk of mice and serpents," Vlad smiled grimly. "Do you know your role, or are you just making it up as you go?"
Suddenly, Vex was back in the game. A blade darted toward Vlad, and he avoided being skewered. Or, mostly. Vlad's forearm darted up to black the blade. Face wounds hurt more than this. It was the lesser of two pains.
Vlad pulled the blade free slowly, meeting Vex's gaze. He flexed his hand, and then smiled slightly as he threw the blade back at her. The bloody weapon didn't move with the grace and aim that Vex used - it moved with vengeance and strength.
His attention returned to Discord. "Don't touch me like that again, boy." Blood dripped to the ground as Vlad clasped his hands behind him once more, seeming genuinely more calm. Anger came so easily. If only Vlad could avoid it, he might be able to think clearly throughout the fight.
