Oh, true, was it, that there was no telltale burning aura of the Red Dragon, but Albedo noticed, and he saw the change within his other heart, saw the burning constricted deep inside. Rubedo wanted to fight him, even if Albedo hadn't added another ante to the game. So Rubedo thought Albedo meant to kill them? Oh, no, not tonight. It wasn't allowed. Albedo simply wanted others to bear witness to his twin's monstrous nature. But. Whatever worked, he supposed.

Albedo's face split in that parody of a grin, laughter loud and rancorous, tingeing madness and touching obscene. "Perhaps I shall! But you... You seem like you actually want to play." Albedo smirked. "So we should play." A motion, and the gun was sailing through the air for Rubedo to catch. "'And if it bear fruit, well...." He clutched his arms, a green glow lighting up under him that could almost be mistaken for the hands of a clock. Eyes glowing brightly, Albedo kept his gaze on Rubedo. "And if not? You shall be cut down.'"

His eyes for the other two seemed to have vanished in the light of Rubedo's new persona. He had seen their bodies flying, felt the vibration hitting Nigredo full on.... If they tried to leave, he'd amend the situation. He had all the time in the world. All of tonight. And it would be savored. Hands out, he smiled, saying only one word, "Come."
