Interview with The Hound Master

The Huntress leaned back into the cushioned velvet with either hand draped over the arms of the high-back chair. Pale light filtered in through an expansive window, its radiating moonlight dancing off the ebon locks of hair that pooled around her shoulders. Thin lips curled with the beginnings of a smirk, the cigarette they harbored rolling into the crook of her mischievous grin.

“I ain’ one for interviews,” she drawled, each word oozing from her lips in a thick Gilnean lilt, “Bu’ I s’pose I could stay long ‘nough. ‘Least ‘til I finish m’ smoke.”

Plucking the vice from her smirk, she held it aloft between index and forefinger and waved the inquirer on. “Wot’s i’ ya’d like t’ know?”

1. What is your name?

“I go by a lot o’ different names these days, bu’ nothing suits m’ fancy better than Eve.”

2. What is your real name?

“Names ‘ave power, mate. If’n my name weren’t already on people’s tongue, I’d be less inclined to tell ya’.”

The Huntress hunched forward with either arm resting on top a knee, her hands dangling in the center to meet with interlaced digits. A coy eyebrow was raised as an airy laugh spilled from her lips. “Bu’, if’n ya’ mus’ know, m’ real name s’ Evelon Rowan ‘Olmwood.”

3. Do you know why you were called that?

Eve offered a nonchalant shrug as an initial response, her russet gaze rolling up in contemplation. “S’posin’ cause m’ Mum and Pa ain’ th’ brightest pumpkins in th’ patch an’ theys couldn’t decide on jus’ one name?”

A canine glimmered in the dim light as her smirk widened, “Bu’ wot do I know? ‘Haps ya’ should ask them ya’self.”

4. Are you single or taken?

Raising her left hand, she gave the gloved digits a wiggle. “Jus’ cause ya’ can’t see a ring don’ mean I ain’ engaged.”

For a brief moment her features soften as she melts back into her chair, a whimsical smile spreading across her lips with a heavy sigh. “Couldn’ ask fo’ a better man.”

“A real master in th’ posh’n’becks if’n ya’ know wot I mean?” she added with a sly wink.

5. Have any abilities or powers?

“M’ a skilled hunter in every aspect of th’ word. I can breed and train a houn’, fire an accurate shot with one eye closed, and track a man down thirty leagues wit’ jus’ a single lock o’ hair.”

6. Stop being a Mary Sue.

” ‘Ow abou’ ya’ stop bein’ a mardy-arse befo’e I shove m’ boot up ya’ bloody ass?” she quipped. gloved digits drumming against her kneecap with growing impatience.

7. What’s your eye color?

Evelon pulled down her lower eyelid with the tip of her forefinger, leaning forward with a perked eyebrow. “Ya’ blin’ o’ somethin’?”

8. How about your hair color?

Gloved fingers run through the thick, black locks of hair. “Ya’re jus’ bloody stupid. Ya’ mum still dress ya’?”

9. Have you any family members?

Evelon nudged the hound resting a her feet with the tip of her boot. “S’ me, m’ houn’s, an’ m’ fiance. I don’t need much mo’e family than tha’.”

Her smirk suddenly dropped with furrowed brows, her lips puckering in a contemplative pout. “Well.. Actually there s’ a group o’-...Ya’ know wot? Nevermin’.”

10. Oh? What about pets?

“I consider m’ houn’s t’ be mo’e like family than pets. ‘Owever, I did get Makis a lovely Calico cat once when ‘e was returnin’ ‘ome from some business trip. Thin’s ol’ as dust by now, though.”

11. That’s cool I guess, now tell me about something you don’t like.

“Well... Firstly, you. Secondly, I ain’ no fan o’ hypocrisy. Leaves a bitter taste in m’ mouth when a man can’t stan’ by his own convictions, ‘specially when shit gets rough. M’ a liar, a cheater, an’ maybe a fool dependin’ on who ya’ ask...Bu’ I ain’ no hypocrite. If’n life s’ one way, than s’ one way. No bloody exceptions.”

12. Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing?

“Beside th’ obvious shit? Hrm... I guess I enjoy drinkin’ wit’ some decent company, ‘specially over a game o’ cards. Nappin’ through a warm afternoon wit’ m’ houn’s s’ always enjoyable. A good hunt does well for th’ spirits as well. Mmmm. Wot else....? Oh! M’ never one t’ say no t’ a right good argy-bargy!”

13. Ever hurt anyone before?

“ ‘course I ‘ave! An’ if’n anyone tells ya’ different, then they’re a bloody liar. I can hurt ya’ if’n ya’d like a demonstration?”

14. Ever… killed anyone before?

“Was m’ job t’ hun’ down bastards and collect their heads. Do I regret i’?”

Evelon paused as she bobbed her head with a short hum. “In a few cases, aye. Bu’ in general, I executed the vile th’ Crown was t’ afraid t’ kill. Dirty work, bu’ someone’s got t’ do i’.”

15. What kind of animal are you?

“Oof...” she groaned, rubbing the back of her head as she expelled a long, drawn out sigh. “M’ avoid th’ obvious answer an’ say tha’ I’ve been called a Jack-Ass a number o’ times fo’ i’ not t’ be m’ token animal.”

16. Name your worst habits.

Russet hues steal a glance at the burning cigarette held between her fingers. “I ain’ got any bad habi’s...” she quips, her free hand reaching for the metallic flask at her hip.

17. Do you look up to anyone at all?

“Ya’ ever heard o’ Bruce Alderstone? ‘E was a prized fighter in Gilneas, an’ I’ve admired ‘is style since I was no taller than this ‘ere chair.”

“Aside from ‘im,” she added, her chin falling into an open palm. “Then perhaps m’ ol’ man.”

18. Gay, straight, or bisexual?

“Considerin’ m’ engaged, I’ll go wit’ straight.”

19. Do you go to school?

A boisterous laugh filled the room as Eve threw herself back into her chair. “S’ a good one! School... HA!”

20. Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“K-kids...?” Her laughter was immediately curt short at the presented postulation. A crimson blush coated her cheeks as she absently scratched the scar spanning across the bridge of her nose with an averted gaze. “Erm... Never really thougt m’self as a mother befo’e.”

21. Do you have any fanboys/fangirls?

“I better, wot wit’ everythin’ I’ve done!” she chuffed, puffing out her chest. Once more her lips wield their classic smirk.

22. What are you most afraid of?

"If’n I told ya’, then ya’d use tha’ against me.”

23. What do you usually wear?

Evelon tugs at the crimson fabric coiled around her neck. “M’ scarf, m’ good ol’ boots an’ wotever leathers ain’ already drenched in sweat.”

24. Do you love someone?

“I do. Very, very much.” With a nonchalant shrug she adds,“ ‘E’s m’ everythin’.”

25. When was the last time you wet yourself?

“Eh...” The Huntress clicked her tongue before heaving a sigh, once more a digit reaching up to pick at her scar. “S’ an embarrassin’ story tha’ I’d rather save fo’ another day.”

26. Well, it’s not over yet!

“M’ cigarette s’ burnin’ low.”

27. What class are you? (High class, middle class, low class)

"M’ my own class.”

28. How many friends do you have?

"I don’ make frien’s. I make connections an’ contacts, bu’ not frien’s. Too much o’ a hassle.”

29. What are your thoughts on pie?

"I don’t ‘ave much o’ a sweet tooth.”

30. Favorite drink?

Evelon held up her flask in response, swishing around its contents with an enticing waggle. “Spiced rum out o’ a metallic flask on a hot, summer evein’. Tastes best when s’ got a bit o’ age t’ i’.”

31. What’s your favorite place?

“Right beside m’ family’s ol’ hearth wit’ th’ fire goin’.” Raising her flask, she offered a silent toast. “Really miss tha’ cottage an’ all th’ memories i’ had.”

32. Are you interested in someone?

“M’ fiance...?” Her brows furrowed as she canted her head, “Wot kind o’ question s’ tha’?”

33. What’s your bra cup size and/or how big is your willy?

“Ya’ tell me ya’s an’ I’ll tell ya’ mine.”

34. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

“Fook th’ ocean! Ya’ ain’ ever sure wot’s swimmin’ in those depths. If’n I had t’ choose betwixt th’ two, i’d be a lake.”

35. What’s your type?

“Mmmmm... M’ type? Huh. Never been asked tha’ one.” Gloved digits intertwine themselves in ebon locks, twisting the strands of hair with an absent smile. “Guess pretty boys are m’ guilty pleasure.”

36. Any fetishes?

The Huntress cackled in response, her russet gaze drifting to look out the window. “Wouldn’t ya’ like t’ know?”

37. Seme or uke? Top or Bottom? Dominant or Submissive?

“Changes from time t’ time.” “Particularly wit’ th’ moon phases,” she added, darting her gaze back to her inquirer with a toothy grin.

38. Camping or indoors?

"I prefer t’ sleep ou’doors, bu’ m’ fiance begs t’ differ.”

39. Are you wanting the interview to end?

The burn-out butt of the cigarette was plucked from her lips and flicked at her inquirer. “I’ s’ done.”

40. Now it’s over!

“Now fuck off.”
