The vampire misses subtle signs in M- as she starts moving and he decides to start playing handsey. A regal disdain runs through her, subtly, sure, but nothing he would have missed if he weren't so intent on being a creepy vampire stereotype. She says nothing until his hand runs a little too far up her inner thigh and his little monologue finishes up.
It's fast. There's so much water in a body, even a vampire's body, just waiting to give up the constant struggle necessary for heat. When he tries to move his hand, there's a crack that registers before the pain of having his hand first frozen, then the soft tissue broken everywhere but the bone that connects them until it, too, gets cold enough break in his panic.
Her hand darts over in a movement the vampire is too distracted to stop and she grabs the handful that is his groin with a cold hand that makes the vampire freeze, not so literally, and whimper as she applies a slowly increasing pressure.
"The good news for your future is that you apparently are smart enough for me not to speak this particular threat out loud or follow it up by mentioning this is not the only way I intend to castrate you if you don't cooperate. The next bit of good news is that I have need of some information. Give me it to me, and I promise you won't die while finding out exactly how much of your body I can freeze then break off at a time before damaging your heart or cutting off your head. Or decide to take a few days and revisit the more tender parts of your anatomy whenever they begin to grow back."
She glances over and there's a flash of a brutal streak that says she could laugh while doing it.
"Nod your head if you're willing to make the deal."
Ugh. That's not fair. Or shocking.
