Interacting with Albert @Turboshitter
Locusta leaned where she stood, her back propped up against the wall as her master spouted out his life story, every detail every inch. Sure Locusta had joked she wouldn't remember but some of the stuff she heard reminded her of herself. The boy was young, unmolded and was certainly having trouble comprehending the harsh reality of the world. She was almost in the right mind to tap into those motherly instincts she had never gotten a chance to use in life to comfort the child and to lecture him on how to detach himself from such things. Not to devalue them but to appreciate them as a fact of life. For even Locusta an Assassin by trade felt empathy for the victims she could see. She disliked having to mercy kill that child purely for the fact they simply were too young to die and were of no threat to anyone. Perhaps thats why she liked poisons so much. She never had to see the dying with the her own eyes as they collapsed and disappeared like a ripple in the ocean.
She kept listening to his life story, pondering over some of what she heard perhaps she might be able to make a special blend of toxin that purges all ill effects by force. Question was would her master be able to survive such a powerful concoction. She shook her head. He seemed fine as he was without any need to risk endagering his life currently. He had her for Romes Sake. Not only the smartest Assassin this side of europe but also probably the nicest because even if it was horribly warped by her occupation Locusta liked to think she had a solid moral code. Though this France thing he went on about made her curious because well. That was where Gaul was meaning... Well nations were conquered and changed of course Gaul wouldn't exist this far into the future it had probably be stolen from the Romans and turned into this 'France'
When he had finally finished pouring out his entire life to her. He began to move onto more relevant topics to the things at hand. Her Master... No, Albert had begun his little inquisitiveness in asking who she was by beginning with a rather hurtful statement. He didn't mean to summon her...? She was brought back by accident. She had gotten lucky. He didn't know of her skills at all how could those ancient historians forget about her and her almost monopoly over assassinations in the roman empire during Nero's reign. Her frown was rather obvious on her face as her entire excitement earlier had been betrayed by this one comment but it didn't stop there. No the boy had to pour more salt on her wounded ego, he didn't guess her as any random women during the old weaklings life. He had to guess her as Agrippina the younger.
It didn't take long for those words to spill from his lips before Locusta had blown a fuse. She inhaled deeply in order to get a full intake of air to really rip into him how stupid he was in one full blow. "How dare you... How dare you!" Locusta began her eyes seeming to well up with heart "So you think I'm the women whom had me imprisoned? Tortured even? All because I helped her in her stupid plot to get her child on the throne and you have no clue who I am because she" She paused after saying the she e with such venom and disgust it was almost like she was an entirely different person, it seemed she was actually getting close to tears as she ruffled her hands through her green hair making it rather messy and yet somehow more fitting. "So she took all the credit? So in the end she got all she ever wanted. Everyone remembers Agrippina the younger as the murderer of Claudius." Locusta murmured getting rather emotional over this one person whom had betrayed her trust. Locusta didn't handle betrayal well it cut her deep considering her values. Even Murderers should have decency to not betray other murderers. Close as a band of murderers was a comment she took to her heart. She stopped talking for a few moments to try and compose herself. It seemed to drag on for a few minutes.
"I would of killed you for what you just said if you didn't pour out your life story first, Albert..." Locusta scowled her face speaking volumes of murderous intent towards her master before it slowly mellowed out again. "From the top..." She began getting really close to his face ignoring his indecent state. She had to talk to people in worse conditions. For example that roman senator whom she had to talk to while his slaves... cleaned him. She had seen it all before was what she was getting at. She made sure he was looking into her eyes as she began. "Your observation was correct. I am not Emperor Claudius however I am not Agrippina either,contrary from what you have heard she wasn't the one to kill her husband. It was me." She said as she pushed herself away from him by using his shoulders as a springboard pushing him a little under the water as she did so.
She pointed to herself as she stood in a triumphant pose. "I am the greatest poisoner in all of Rome, Senators hired me to kill other Senators. I was simply the Assassin everyone needed for their own ends. I am Locusta of Gaul though my title gifted to my perhaps precedes my name, I am Locusta the Poisoner, Slayer of the Emperor, friend of Nero. Mistress of Poisons." She said as she grabbed a hold of a nearby towel raising it as if to hit Albert before lowering it again. "It'd be my pleasure to aid you in your revenge~" She said her voice laced with honey as she handed him the towel, offering her other hand to help pull him out of the bath. "And don't you ever forget it Albert." She giggled as she ruffled his hair in the way her mother did to reassure her back when she was younger.
