Kyle knew she was there before she even sent her voice whispering through the air. He had seen her through the eyes of his raven, who now swooped in through the open window and settled onto his shoulder. The day that she would awaken was inevitable, and her ire, while hilarious to him, was not misplaced. He knew that should the roles have been reversed, he would have been just as pissed off.
But, well, the roles were not reversed. He was the one who had found himself ascending in rank to Antediluvian in a rapid amount of time. So instead, amusement was all he could feel, and a certain amount of pleasure in knowing that his promotion caused Kilah Morgansin's anger.
Even while he felt her presence enter the building, he moved, leaving the upstairs bedroom he had been in to stand on the landing above, and leaned on the railing with both arms, his hands clasped in front of him as he looked at Kilah over red lenses of his glasses.
"Well, look who it is! The prodigal Methuselah returns. Did you enjoy your nap?" He asked with a wide grin.

The arrogance of the male standing before and above her was not missed. Had this little interaction happened before her most recent nap, she would have been the one in the more powerful position. Kyle had been beneath her, though an interesting fellow, and one that she had actually decided to have offspring with. But to see him standing above her with such glee filled her with fury.
She felt like ripping his face off. With her claws or magic, it did not matter, but those smug little red lenses would be the first to be smashed. Prodigal Methuselah. As if they both didn't understand why he was throwing around her rank. It was all the protection he really had. "It might have been sweeter had others known their station." The growl that left her throat was matched with the twisting of her tail. Kilah's temper had been known. She was considered a rather cranky vampire in the past and this new development certainly wasn't helping.
But there had to be a reason he had been chosen above the others. She knew he was capable, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen him to sire her children. "Hardly. Much changed in a very short amount of time. Do tell me what led to this sudden development?" Despite everything, the blue haired vampire had not moved from where she was standing. Upset as she was, Kilah also understood that he now out ranked her. Was she older? Yes. But depending on what might have happened while she was asleep? Well, the scales might have tipped more evenly than Kilah would have cared for. Starting a fight before she understood all the details was a way to fall from her current standing if she was not careful.

She hated the fact that he could read her thoughts. Now that he was a higher rank, she could do nothing about it. Kilah had to fight the urge to roll her eyes yet again, trying to keep her thoughts clear as possible as to not give away... but that was impossible. Kilah was always thinking. Always attempting to figure out what to do or say next, because that was the smart thing to do.
He brought up Illyes and that was a name she hadn't heard in a very long time. "Yes. He vanished and his clan held onto his memory as if it was the last drop of blood they would ever have." Instead of replacing him to strengthen themselves. Not exactly smart, was it? "What does another clan have to do with any of this, Baine?" He was likely telling her a story of some sort, the kind that would have a punchline thrown in to make her reel. Theatrics was understandable, but Kilah much preferred to be the one being dramatic.
Funny how rank weighed so heavily on her actions. She hadn't moved since she had stopped, staring up at him with those deep red eyes. One way or another, she'd find out the real reason behind his promotion. Perhaps one of their children knew, but she'd have to hunt them both down after this interaction to be sure.

The mimicry, or at least the saying what he knew she would say just microseconds before she said it, was meant to fluster her. He did not intend to read her thoughts, but she did not know that. He found it amusing. He figured that she would now likely be paranoid about the things that popped into her mind. Could he see them? Could he know? Sure, if he wanted to, he could. He had become quite a bit more powerful since last she'd seen him. But where was the fun in always knowing? Where was the excitement in it?
His smirk widened.
"He vanished because he found a way to take a discipline he knew well and mould it into something new. He travelled through time, Kilah. Hundreds of years, unintentionally, when Troile had tried to diablerize him. His knowledge and power are immense, but he required more to hone his abilities, and what do you think he promised me in return for such knowledge?
He paused then, clearly waiting to see if she could figure it out for herself.

Kyle's lips pulled up into a smug smile, then. It was clear that she either did not believe him or did not quite yet grasp the implications of it. An ancient vampire who had practically mastered time manipulation, enough so that he could actually time travel, and she did not seem even the tiniest bit impressed.
"He offered to shift me, and his library, out of time completely. Suspended, able to read and study, for days, months, years at a time, and then shifted back again, as if no time had passed at all. I believe I am, technically, even older than you now, Kilah."
He watched her with a steady gaze as she began to climb the stairs. He did not bother trying to read her thoughts. By now he was sure there was nothing there but hostility.
"And, I would gather, quite a bit more powerful." This last was said with a shrug of his shoulders. She could take it as a warning if she wished.
In case she was getting any ideas.
