This time he gets about halfway there, slows down slightly as the resistance increases, and then it suddenly snaps and he goes flying into the tree at whatever speed she cares to fling him with.

Which is, if Rhune physiology is similar to humans, fast enough to break his neck.

It… would appear that it's not quite the same as human physiology, because while there is a rather sickening noise, he doesn't seem to be dead.

Good.

She stalks over and grabs the book away from him.

That she can do, while he rolls over slightly, seeming to be in pain.

Probably quite a lot of it.

She tosses the book well out of his reach.

"Where does it hurt?" she inquires mildly.

She probably isn't going to be getting much intelligible out of him right now, other than a small bit of groaning.

Presumably he still could be intelligible, what with the translation magic, but apparently he's not trying to be so right now.

She kicks him in the stomach, hard.

"I said, where does it hurt?"

He makes another groaning noise, this time a lot louder, and coughs, seeming to struggle to breathe properly.

"Everywhere? Oh, that's good."

And now it is lightning time again. Seeing as he didn't get the full effect the first time.

And he'll make a strained noise that presumably results from the shock therapy.

Doesn't seem to be participating much in this, though, does he.

Not really, no.

She ups the lightning to the point of death.

He doesn't die. Makes a few noises, though.

...Not the typical reaction. Do they continue if she keeps ramping up the intensity?

Yep, up to a point.

Then he just sort of– stops. Still alive, but has just stopped.

Still conscious?

… Yes. Probably? He's definitely not unconscious, but he's not really responsive in the regular way.

Meh. Bored now.

She pulls her saber out, reverses her grip, and stabs downwards into his chest.

It goes through him. Also sparks quite a bit, what with still being on high power, and seems to do really quite a lot of damage to him.

But it's limited, doesn't completely destroy him, and he seems to still be alive and slightly less responsive, yet still conscious.

Somehow.

Hm. Such resilience is almost unprecedented. Not a trait she expected him to display.

She turns her saber off and retreats over to the tossed book and settles down to observe him for a while.

He continues to have a rather nasty wound, continues to breathe – although it sounds quite belabored – and continues to remain sort-of-conscious.

The forest around them is quite peaceful.

She gets his spellbook and begins to read.

It doesn't make any sense. It also doesn't give her any mystical knowledge of being able to do spells, either.

Ugh. She tosses it aside in disgust.

Is he any closer to dying yet?

He seems probably-less-conscious. It's hard to be sure, even with her Force sense.
