Alix chuckles. "Because I knew you could kill him."

She exhales, shaking her head. "You really put a lot of faith in me."

Alix gives her one last smirk before turning away. "I'll leave the rest to you."

Sorin watches as he exits, his footsteps fading into the corridor. She exhales, rolling her shoulders. The real work begins now.
