As she ambles from the Government District back to the market square, she perceives a group of guards escorting Luthor. At the sight of her, the latter breaks into a scowl.

"You'll pay for this, you witch!" ~ He spits at her ~ "Is this how you repay my gift to you? Do you not remember that I made a present of the hawk to you earlier?" ~ He shakes with uncontrollable fury ~ "You ingrate!... I'll..." ~ His speech is impaired by a sudden knock on his head - administered by the captain of the guards ~ "Shut your mummer, you lout! And show some respect to the lady!"

She gazes at him expressionlessly, but her eyes gleam with satisfaction ~ "Of course I remember your gift of the hawk... the very hawk you just tried to recapture from me." ~ A ghost of a smile creeps into her lips as she sees his stunned expression ~ "Do think the next time you decide to bestow a gift, my good man... but then again, there won't be a next time for a while, will there?" ~ She smiles grimly ~ "Your only flaw was that after you enticed Isabeau back to your side, you gave her a slow poison... that allowed her to get away undetected and you needed time to find her." ~

Luthor's face turns pale ~ "But...if you knew, why didn't you just come up to me to seek revenge?" ~ In answer, she gives him a serene smile ~ "That's alignment for you, Luthor. I'm a lawful person... I would never have approached you without a shred of evidence against you...besides, you could always have said that you found her somewhere and was keeping her safe for me until I appeared. It would have been your word against Isabeau's." ~ She pauses before continuing ~ "So I did a quick check with the records, and true enough, your license has expired for about 2 years now..." ~

Emitting an imaginary yawn, she turns to look at him a final time ~ "I'd love to stay and chat, but I've a hawk to look after. Goodbye, Luthor." ~ With that, she strolls off, hearing a barrage of protests and curses behind her.

Before long, she has returned to the building again and nods at Isabeau ~ Revenge is complete, my friend. ~
