"I think just about everyone I meet is a Lithius, so your not special." Mark commented, watching Wren's knife very carefully. Mark shifted slightly, and slipped his knife back into the strap on his leg. Calculating a bit, he nodded to himself. He could most likely grab it in time, if he really needed to. "Me? I would have hung myself already if I had been changed. Plus I am hunting those vile things. My goal of killing every Lithius would of no use if I was one." He pointed out. Mark was fairly sure Wren had heard of a human who had been hunting the Lithius. Maybe? Maybe not. Even if Mark had been doing this for several years, he was sure there were others who were also. "So you've said that you have run into this...Skye? You remind me of him....very much so..." He said softly, as a small connection was beginning to form in his mind.
(Someone get their butt on the Chatzy. 'Cuz I'm bored....)

Wren was sure Mark was a human, and always had been. He had merely said it to test his reaction, which was a bit depressing. Wren had never thought of killing himself, and surely never would. Having long since gotten used to killing, there wasn't a chance of that ever happening.
"You'd kill yourself immediately? Bummer. I've seen a few others who changed who at least tried to feed off other Lithius before doing that." that he had, but feeding once a months on inhumanly strong creatures never worked in the end. He had killed on of the previously human-Lithius-hunters before, which was not a fun experience. Not that he was going to add that last bit, of course. The his eyes narrowed, and he was bout to snarl before remembering how often Skye did just that.
"Say that again, my knife goes through your head." Wren knew he had to get Mark to think differently, and he didn't like to be compared to Skye either way. The way that Lithius acted drove him near insane, and thinking he might be similar was maddening. Hand tightening on the handle of his knife, Wren was not joking.

((Ah. Will get on chatzy... now.))

"Yes in fact I would. But perhaps I'd try to take out a few of them along with me. Go out with a big bang, if you know what I mean." Mark narrowed his eyes watching Wren closely at his reaction to his comment on Wren reminding him of Skye. It was slightly satisfying, and he couldn't help but smirk at Wren. "Not before my knife would be in your gut." Mark replied calmly as he slowly slipped his hand down his leg close to the handle of his own knife. "Now explain to me why you take such offense to that? Maybe because you're a Lithius, and Skye was the one who changed you?" With that, he knew he could be pushing it, but how could he not have asked that? It was something that he had been thinking, something he had slightly put together. Not that it had to be true.

"Have fun with that." Wren shrugged; chances were Mark would never be bitten anyways, although the temptation to leave over and attempt it right then eating at him. Btu he wasn't that idiotic; a blade would be skewering him within a few seconds. He then snarled, not caring that Skye did it as well, leaving over towards Mark with a blank glare.
"Did you forget that scar I have from him? Wondered why I don't have siblings?" It was easy to fake that much; it was all true. Wren was offended to be compared to Skye, and he had lost a sibling to the Lithius. Pulling out his blade, raising it, and pointing the tip towards Mark's face, he gave a cold smile, daring him to keep talking.
"Now, want to keep saying that?" His voice was happy, and cold, deliberately mirroring Skye for the hell of it.

[ElementalInsanity]

Mark's face paled, but he kept his composure not letting anything show. At least attempting it. He gripped the handle of his own knife, but didn't move. "I'm guessing because of him? Well there is something me and you have in common. I lost my brother to Skye as well." Wren's tone of voice struck Mark, and he wondered if the boy was baiting him. Actually that was exactly what Wren was trying to do. "See. Right there. Your baiting me, something he would do, and your tone. Just like Skye. If you don't want me, or anyone else, to be comparing you to Skye, then stop acting like him. Otherwise it's your own fault." Mark knew that he should have stopped, but this was something he couldn't just let be. If there was a chance that this boy was a Lithius, then it made it all worth it. If he stayed alive that it.

"I've got a dead brother cause of him. Nice to know its not just me." He smiled coldly again, until Mark kept talking.
Wren was unstable to begin with, remember. Mark was making him snap, surely the human knew it. But that didn't matter, and his little smirk faded into a snarl, simply glaring. Fury got his mind slowly, but that was enough.
"I thought I told you what would happen if you said that again?" Tone suddenly becoming light, Wren set the tip of his knife at Mark's shoulder. The face was a tempting target, but easier to avoid, and he didn't want to kill the human, yet anyways. He didn't care that if he sliced the boy or not he was going to get cut himself, it would be worth it, just to shut him up. The idea of being like Skye seemed horrifying to him, for good reasons.

[ElementalInsanity]

Mark sucked in a hiss of air as Wren's knife touched his shoulder. Having no shirt on at the moment, he could feel the coldness of the steel on his skin. "Yes you did. But maybe your too dumb to realize that what your knife is at right now, isn't my head." A baiting smirk spread across his face and his eyes flicked over to another knife on his nightstand. Sadly he couldn't reach it with Wren right there, and he doubted that he would be able to anyways. "See? Your tone. Right there. That's something he would do...." Mark narrowed his eyes at these developments. Everything this boy was going was only confirming Mark's idea of him being a Lithius.

[Noel]

"It's because when I did this-" At that, Wren snapped, pressing his knife through the skin of Mark's shoulder a bit less than gently, if no t flat out stabbing him. "-I didn't want to kill you." Pressing bit harder, all traces of a smirk gone, Wren saw Mark's gaze find the knife on the nightstand. That made the grin return, only slightly, if just for a few seconds.
"Go on, try to get it. And while you do that, I'll stab a more important place." He would kill the human if he tried, if he could anyways. Wren had a growing fear that he wouldn't be able to in time, but with luck he wouldn't need to find out. But given that he had just stabbed his shoulder, he doubted luck was going to help him.
"Going to shut it?" He asked, tone angry and cold, having snapped. Being compared to Skye just did that to him.

[ElementalInsanity]

Mark couldn't suppress the shriek of pain that escaped as he felt the knife dig into his skin. Right then he almost lost it and passed out. As things went from blurry and major migraine, back to reality he clenched his teeth. Mark thought of grabbing his own knife from his leg, but Wren had just stabbed his shoulder on his good side. He didn't want to risk opening his side wound. "Hnnn...I...don't....." Mark couldn't even make out what he was trying to say. Mark's eyes flashed open to glare up at Wren. "M-Maybe.....or maybe....not." He managed out, feeling blood running down his arm, soaking into his pants and bed covers.
