The girl yelps and then trembles, but holds very, very still otherwise, wide eyes fixed firmly on Shade.

Permalink

She kneels down and draws out a knife.

"You're being very cooperative, you know that?"

Permalink

Terrified whimper and quick nod.

Permalink

"I like cooperative." Shade caresses the girl's cheek with the flat of her knife. "If you stay like this, maybe I'll let you live when I'm done."

Permalink

The girl freezes, going even stiller. "Y- Ye -Yes -es m'm - " she stutters out.

Permalink

"That's a good girl."

And then the fun can start.

Permalink

The girl would disagree that this is fun, but is very cooperative nonetheless! And very appropriately terrified and in pain and miserable and overwhelmed, at often very proper moments!

Permalink

After the final round of healing, Shade stands back up, sheathing the knife.

"Run along when you feel up to it, then."

Permalink

Choked sob. The girl curls in on herself for a bit, then gets up and starts to stagger off.

Permalink

Shade watches her leave, a small smile on her face.

Permalink

"A very good find."

Permalink

"I thought so."

Permalink

"Searching for psychological traits is actually quite tricky, you know," she says, voice a bit teasing.

Permalink

"It's a good thing you didn't say that earlier, then."

Permalink

She laughs. "I'll hold off on telling you when you're being impressive then, shall I?"

Permalink

"At least until I've already done it."

Permalink

"Duly noted."

Permalink

"I think I'm ready for a change of pace now."

Permalink

"Opinions on to what?"

Permalink

"We should probably plan for tomorrow. I don't think it will be as easy as today."

Permalink

"Of course."

Permalink

"Will it be just you and I?"

Permalink

"And whoever chooses to follow us. Which will probably be very few - I have a good sense of most of them, and this won't be an interesting hunt to them, not yet."

Permalink

"Do you have anything more about where he is, what his defenses are?"

Permalink

"That is what divination is for."
