章 202: Now, now, my favorite reaper.

"Do you always have to do this?" Severus complained with an eye roll. "You want to chat them up as if they understand."

Scarlet laughed, again, deviously, "Oh, they understand alright, their greed just gets the better of them always. And I like teasing and taunting them, it makes it fun." she said. "Come on fellas," she teased, "Why don't you try to feast on me? I bet I am much tastier than the itty bitty soul you were all about to prey on before the hound arrived."

She could see the calculations in their hollow dark eyes as they calculated the odds of three against two since one had already been captured. She did not know how they sensed which reapers were stronger than they were but they could. Once they did, soul eaters would attempt then to fight or flee. 

One attempted to vanish through the open window and she threw out a tiny green flame that burned him slowly while the other two soul eaters looked on in shock.
