When the ringing stops, all you'll hear is a cold voice that says one simple word, "Speak."

Valdis goes silent, unsure how to feel. Part of her jumps instantly to rage, anger that Erik would do such a thing, potentially even in front of Max. He could be saying this just to try to soothe her and get away with the same things he had done before. It's not a game for him as it is for her and Max. Yet she doesn't sense a lie in him, if anything she senses a burst of shame edged with worry and fear, though she's not sure if the fear is of her or something else.

It would not be unnatural for him to have a healthy respect for her, however, she suspects the fear has more to do with his concern about falling back into old habits.

"I'm not sure how to respond to that, or how to handle the pain it may cause to Max if he misunderstands what is happening between you and Pyotr."

Valdis knows he isn't lying, or trying to manipulate her in any way, in fact she can feel his anxiety spike again as he speaks. She still doesn't like it though.

"And what such timing would make it upsetting to one who must live off of blood and now has a donor in a spoken contract?"

"I don't exactly fee sorry for you on that count, but I will accept that you are not doing this to satisfy yourself."

She realizes a moment too late that that was rather harsh, but it's already been said.

"You should explain the deal to Max, he shouldn't be caught by surprise."

Valdis finds she dislikes the fact that he didn't snap back, or come up with some witty comeback or insult.

"Please do. I promise I will make this report go away, I just need time to figure out how without compromising the law."

There had always been some leeway where Mortanne's people were involved, so she could use that. Plus, no one had died and Erik wasn't even injured as far as anyone really knew.

"Almost, I still need to speak with Artemy, I can't just fake notes when I've never even met the man."

She could try, but she doesn't even know what he looks like and a mistake could be caught.

"But I will twist the story as best I can."

Those two words were not something she thought Erik would ever direct at her, but she's not doing it for him.

"I hope it's as easy as you say, Pyotr only responded to threats and you know how much I loathe making idle ones."

It still feels weird for Erik to say he trusts her.

"If you think he'll believe me, then I'll put forth the effort, and please do keep Pyotr out of trouble. I'm due for a promotion and others might not be so lenient."

With any of them.

"I hope you're right. It would make all this easier."

She also arches a brow.

"Cerrit and I are creating a new department, but you'll still fall under my jurisdiction, so don't get too excited."

Not that she expects Erik to cause problems with Demons and the other supernatural entities on Marrow Isle, though he did make a deal with Aster, so perhaps she should keep an eye on him as if she's not being a hypocrite.
