Darkstalker looked down at her, appraising. That sounded incredibly farfetched, but not any more than the rest of his situation. He'd clearly struck a nerve though, which he could have easily avoided if his powers were still working. It was so much harder to read people when you couldn't hear their thoughts.

And as frustrated with his situation was he was, he couldn't afford to make any enemies right now. Not yet. He sighed, giving her an apologetic smile which at the very least looked sincere.

"I'm sorry, you're right. That was rude of me. I've just never met a living gem before. You can call me Darkstalker."
