Having run back into the bedroom and slamming the door behind her, Abi was curled up against the wall, her eyes focused on the door. She was trying not to switch, trying to focus the monotones to leave, and hoping against hoping that Malius wasn't about to open that door. She was also starving. Although scouring the apartment had produced a few pieces of fruit, and there was water in the bathroom...it was hardly making a decent meal every evening. Which was alarming..and continually draining her monotones. Where was a damn pepper-up when you needed one? She kept her knees hugged against her chest. Her red hair was still down her back, plaited and braided out of the way. |

Malius had snatched the potion off the side table, and then proceeded to find Abi. Of course she'd hide somewhere ridiculous, when she knew well enough he could get to her anyways. As he saw her sitting on the floor, Malius grinned and took a step closer. "You don't look so well." |

"Oh really?" Abi said with a sweet sort of sarcasm, looking up at him and not bothering to stand. What the heck was in his hand? A potion? Well, whatever it was, it didn't look friendly at all. "Cause I'm really feeling great." The sweet sarcasm continued, and she put her hand to her own forehead. "Just peachy. Really." And she rolled her eyes. |

Malius ignored the sarcasm entirely, and went on to say, "Really? I just thought you looked awful." Maybe it was his bad mood today, but he wasn't exactly looking to be the least bit nice. He took a step closer and crouched in front of Abi, keeping the vial in hand in case she attempted to break it. He of course had others at the house, but that would take too long. "Take it." |

"Well, you sure know how to flatter a girl, Malius." Abi said rolling her eyes, and twisting a bit. As he crouched down besides her, she fought an internal sense of fear or grimace and bit her lip instantly. "Do I look like an idiot?" She asked incredulously, shrinking away from the potion. "I'm not a damn test-subject." At least, that's what she assumed the potion was for. She honestly didn't know of course. He was close...she really could aim a slap at him. And that meant his wand was close too. Alright. She did. She might have shrunk away, but seeing as how she was literally cornered, it was close enough that she could reach out to slap him. |

"Who said it was something to test?" Malius countered and extended his hand out that held the potion. "I need you alive, Abira." It was obviously a lie, but maybe it'd work. If not, he'd be more frustrated than before. |

It was simple enough, then. "If you need me alive..." She smiled sweetly, idly. Ducking her eyes, she played with a strand on her sweater, still grimacing and revolting inside. "Aren't I also going to need some sort of food?" Food. She needed food. Food, and rest, and then her monotones would be all she needed to get out. Which, she assumed he knew...but he was still scaring her. The potion in front of her tipped a bit, but she continued to entirely ignore it. |

"You may not trust me, but trust me on this that you might just want to talk this potion. If not, then I doubt you'll last much longer and that hinders my plans," Malius told her, his frustration growing as he glared at her. It was true he needed her alive, but not true that the potion was helpful. Why would he help anyways? Not if his intent was to hurt her.. |

Biting her lip, she shook her head vehemently. It didn't matter what he'd say. There was no way in hell she was swallowing something Malius gave her. That was a simple "duh" moment. "Well, I'm certainly game." She said batting her eyelashes. "To hinder any plan of yours whatsoever." |

Malius stood up and angrily slammed the vial onto the top of one of the dressers in the room. How much patience he had for this he wasn't sure. "What would you give-" he turned then to look back at Abi. "-to get back to your family?" Curiousity more than anything. |

She shook a bit and ducked her head again as he slammed the potion's vial against the dresser and bit her lip. Honestly, if she continued to chew on her lip like this, it was going to bleed. And a cracked lip might be the least of her worries, but she was rather positive that it wouldn't help all that much. Her voice was raspy from the disuse, and screaming, but she wasn't letting that stop her from speaking her mind, was she? His words shocked her. "That depends." She said slowly, still pulling at the thread. It was frayed, and bothering her, and hell...this shirt wasn't hers. It was probably Ella's. "On what you're offering." Basically, anything. But she wasn't an idiot. Her family might be incredibly important to her...but the country, the country should and had to come first. She wasn't trading information, she wasn't bartering out a person from Azkaban, and she wouldn't be used either. But she didn't mind putting herself in harms way if it meant saving them. She'd literally die for them, and she wasn't as afraid of that as she probably should have been. |

Malius stilled as he waited for her answer, his head consumed with other thoughts. He was distracted and maybe she had noticed. If not it would be better. Being distracted in this sort of situation wasn't a good thing. As she spoke though, Malius fixed his eyes on her hand as she seemed insistent on picking at a loose thread on her shirt. Ella's shirt, he realized. "I never said I was offering anything," Malius told her, shaking himself from his thoughts and looking to her face again. "I was merely asking." |

His words turned her blood cold again, but she swallowed it back. It took her a few moments, but she stood herself, and backed up against the wall, shimmying against it. Damn't. There had to be some sort of adrenaline rush that could fuel the monotones...something... With shaking eyes, she caught herself and slammed her own arms behind her back, with a locked elbow clasping her own wrists, and standing up straight as hard as she could. "Not to be a broken record." She said simply. "If you're not offering anything, I don't have much incentive to share." |

Malius leaned against the dresser that was close, and folded his arms across his chest. He watched as Abi stood up and moved elsewhere, but he knew she couldn't go far anyways. Why bother to say something? "Let's say I'm offering your freedom." He wasn't of course, but if it got a answer. |

Arching her eyebrow in surprise, Abi said cooly, "And let's say I know you're lying." Well, it was obvious. She might hate that she knew him, but she did. And it was ridiculously simple to figure out that he was basically just talking himself in a circle at the moment- unsure of what to do now. It was scaring her more. If he honestly had just grabbed her in the heat of whatever the hell that dreadful passion had been, would he honestly decide not to bother and just kill her? Well wasn't that a morbid thought. |

"Then this conversation is pointless," Malius snapped, snatching up the potion again and this time storming over to where Abi was. With his free hand he grabbed her chin, and held the potion in the other. "You can either drink this or I could go right back to your place and find those kids of yours." |

Surprised once again by his sudden aggression, Abi swallowed and bit her lip, taking her free hand to close around his wrist. "You stay away from them." She said furiously, keeping her eyes on his and her mouth bit raw and closed after that. She wouldn't. She couldn't. That was just suicide. But...Drew and Anya...

"You know I won't listen," Malius reminded her. "It's your choice." He grinned and it was obvious he'd try to get to them if he had to. It was an unwanted flaw in the plan, but whatever needed to be done could be. |

Alright. It was safe to say she preferred the pointlessly circling conversation to this. She knew he wouldn't listen, but ... her kids. They were her kids. And she knew he would hurt them if he could. Even if she couldn't fathom that Tristan would be leaving them alone at the moment, even if she couldn't fathom anything...they were fine. They were safe. "If you wanted to use them against me." She said, surprised by her own daring. "You shouldn't have taken me out of my own home." Tris had the kids. Tris would know what to do. And she wasn't going to let him get to her. She was not drinking that potion. |

Malius let Abi go as he stood up, and put the vial back on the dresser. He looked at her for a long minute wondering if she'd say otherwise, but when she didn't he turned his back to her and started for the door. "If that's your decision then.." |
