Twisted Fate waited patiently and silently as Evelynn seemed to contemplate his words. Her pause was something that would not be expected of a women with her reputation, unless she was building up for something. However, The Cardmaster knew her far too well, this was not a build up for something, this was a legitimate moment of her thinking out what she wanted to do. Nothing predatory or evil about it, just a simple thought provoking moment. After a few more moments she nodded and stood up, and began to walk toward the exit. It seemed as though the Cardmaster would be getting his answer this night if he followed her.
He hastily threw money at the bar, just enough to cover the tab of course, and quickly followed Evelynn. As he came up to her, he would slide an arm around her waist and pull her closer to him as they walked. This was more for her public reputation than putting a move on Evelynn.....okay that was a lie. Twisted Fate was being sly and bold by doing this, but he figured that it might help her in some small way or another. He would walk with her until she was comfortable with telling him what was going on or she spoke up at last.

Evelynn stepped out into the cool air of the Demacian night. Her eyes glowed unnaturally in the darkness, a soft glow that would seem almost similar to the reflection of a cat's eyes. She didn't wait for TF, simply taking a few steps before she heard the door closing as he exited the bar, amusement flitted across her mind as he followed hastily, it seemed he really did want the answer. The Widowmaker paused as his arm slid around her waist, a simple amused chuckle escaping her lips as she didn't resist being pulled close to him.
She remained quiet as they walked, trying and failing to find what she wanted to say. She didn't want to sound like a sap, but she didn't really know what to say. This wasn't her point of expertise. Words would normally flow, sweet like honey if she wanted something or gouge and tear like a saw if she wanted. But now it was like a dam had been built and nothing came out. Instead of speaking about what Fate wanted, "I love the night."

Twisted Fate was thankful that Evelynn would allow him to know why she left him all that time ago. They would walk for a bit, and his attention was on her, though his eyes were not. Just from walking this close, he could get a better read from her. The way she breathed in and out, the rhythm of those breaths, what he her hands were doing, and where she was looking. All of these were guideposts that the could use to figure out how she is feeling, and perhaps what she is thinking a bit. After they walked for a bit, she would speak up. Talking about how she loved the night. It wasn't what Twisted Fate was hoping to hear, but he could tell that this was something that she had internally struggled with. This would require patience and smooth talking, granted he never figured Evelynn would be the one who would struggle with saying that needed to be said.
"It's beautiful ain't it?" He would say looking up toward the sky, and a soft smile would cross his lips once more. After a moment he would continue, "Ah' always liked the stars in the sky. Sometimes, when Ah' was a boy, Ah' would sleep outside and just watch the stars. Seein' how they danced with each other n' the night sky. They had a private stage just fer' them, and they would dance till the sun came up. Ah' loved those nights."

"Ever the romantic." She said with a slight smile upon her lips as she chuckled softly. She remained quiet, the dam still in place not allowing what she wanted to say to flow. Her golden eyes turned up to the sky as they walked before she simply stating with a casual tone, "I was hired to get close to you, then kill you." She shrugged and kept walking. Not pausing should Fate stop.

Twisted Fate chuckled at her response, of course he was romantic. That's what women seemed to like about him. He was about to come up with a witty reply when Evelynn dropped a bomb on him. The Cardmaster paused as his mouth dropped slightly. That got through his poker face just fine, and he simply stopped walking with Evelynn. Was this some kind of joke? It wouldn't be beyond her character to pull something, but that did not quite fit with the hesitation she had before. After a moment he had recovered and he looked at Evelynn and lifted his hat up so she could see his eyes. While he knew she was serious...he could not help his surprised mind from getting only the expected response.
"Well that caught me with mah' pants down, but do go on." An expression he would often use to say that he was surprised, but Evelynn must be kidding. However, Twisted Fate had a sinking feeling that she wasn't.

She felt his arm slip from her waist which caused a soft sigh to escape her lips, "Dr. Xavier Rath." She whispered, her walk slowed yet she didn't stop. She turned her head to and glanced over her shoulder to make sure he was still there only to be met with the golden irises, she could tell it shocked him, the sight alone stopped her advance away from him. It was a look she recognized all to well from when she dropped the bombshell and simply left him standing in the Demacian park.
"Rath offered came to me with an offer, retrieve your body for him. Since Rath couldn't seem to capture you alive, he wanted you dead so he could study the effects of the only successful experiment." She tilted her head, her eyes studying his reaction to what she was now revealing to him, "You and I became close, the longer I stalled the more pressure he tried to apply." She smiled softly, "I don't take to kindly to being pressured, so, instead of killing you, I walked away from the deal."
There was more to it of course, her own bloodlust had screamed at her to rip him apart, to spill the blood of the only man who truly had fallen and connected with her and not simply see her as a morbid trophy of some sort. It was an all too human feeling of fear, fear that she would give in and kill him. Perhaps it was his luck that had caused Evelynn to feel an emotion she felt she had buried long ago. She was never entirely sure, but now she waited for his response, almost expecting him to simply disappear in a flurry of cards.

Twisted Fate heard a name that was long buried in his past, and he would grit his teeth a bit. Dr. Xavier Rath....the man who gave him the powers he had now, who gave him the ability to wield magic like he always dreamed. The champion underestimated Rath's determination as a Zaunite. After all, he was the only one who managed to survive the experiment that gave magic to a powerless individual. He had evaded bounty hunters who had sought him for Rath's award many times. He knew Rath wanted to conduct experiments on him to see what made the survivor special, but that survivor was born a gypsy. The natural spirit of the gypsy is to wander around the world and see the sights and beauty of it.
A wandering spirit does not like to be caged and prodded with needles.
Evelynn explained how she fell for his natural, intelligent, and rustic charm. She stalled for time, however Rath was not the type of man to be denied. She walked away from the deal. That was a relief, dying at the hands of his lover was not something Twisted Fate would enjoy. "Well Eve, allow me the chance ta' thank you fer' doing that. Ah mean it, Ah really appreciate that." If Rath was that desperate....then maybe it was time to go have a little 'chat' with the Zaunite. Make things clear between the two so he would stop hiring these damn bounty hunters, and learn to leave the champion alone. Though a thought suddenly struck The Cardmaster. If she walked away from the deal....then why did she walk away from him? Did she fall in love with someone else, or did she never walk away from the deal?
"But Eve...if you walked away from the deal....then why did you walk away from me? You could have stayed, what did I do to make you leave?" Twisted Fate asked...his voice got a little choked up when he began to speak about...that day. The day that the woman before him walked away with a piece of his heart that he never got back. Maybe today....he would get a piece of that heart back.

Evelynn let out a soft chuckle, stopping and turning to face Twisted Fate directly, "Fate, you never done anything to make me leave." She looked him in the eyes, the amused look fading from her face, now replaced by soft expression as her tone became serious, "I want you to understand that." The smile played on her lips again as she spun on her heel and began walking once more. Her pace was slow, inviting Twisted Fate to catch up once more.

At Evelynn's words Twisted Fate felt a piece of his heart come back. His heart pounded against his chest a bit harder, and even harder when he saw her rare soft expression. It was something many claimed Evelynn did not have, but she did. It was just buried deep within her. It was so deep that many did not see, but Twisted Fate knew it was in there. He counted every time he reached it to be a milestone, which only became easier to achieve as their relationship went on. It looked as though he still had the touch to bring those soft expressions to the surface even when they were out of a relationship. His mind drifted back to her words, of how he never did anything wrong. He felt a burden was lifted off of him, whenever he traveled the road their break-up would haunt him. He would recount all of his mistakes that he made, and wonder which one of them made her leave. Was it the fact that he flirted with that one girl? Could it be the fact that he was late to one of their meetings or would sometimes fail to show? He didn't mean for it to happen! He would always try to make it up to her with gifts, and some of his sweetest words laced with an extra coat of sugar.
Destiny did like to make things more complicated then they had to be.
The Cardmaster moved quickly to catch up to Eve, and began to walk by her side. He would remain quite and enjoy this reunion he was having with his Ex. It seems as though he may not get the answer he was looking for today, but he learned that he did not have anything to do with it. That alone was a great relief, and he would simply enjoy what time Destiny gave him with Evelynn.
Destiny always led him to happiness....granted it was the long way around.
