Lumi looked down at the monster and spoke. "I could kill you."
He purposely let a silence ring. The Deer King was given time to think. After a couple moments of heavy breathing, the Deer King looked up at him. It was carefully weighing its options and found all of them bad. It then carefully spoke. "You… could. But you did not." Its breath shook as it struggled to speak. "What is it that you want?"
Lumi scoffed in disdain, faintly rolling his eyes. He looked at the beast as if it were an idiot. "Kill you? For what? So I can feel righteous? Leave that for the heroes. The ones who walk around blabbing about justice."
He lightly crouched to stare into the beast's eyes closer. He spoke plainly. "I want benefits. I am here to rob you."
The Deer King's eyes slowly blinked, and then reopened in understanding. No longer was it panicking. Its mind was now contemplating.
