[negativegate]

And why not?

[She punctuates it with a sharp tug on the belt.]

[And ever and ever~]

[blackshadow]

Ah...

[ He twitches, trying to grab the belt despite being restrained. ]

Because you don't have anyone you care about... It doesn't want someone like you.

[ Until Rita makes him a blastia core. ]

[negativegate]

Why would it want something as ridiculous as that?

[She holds it where it is, snug enough to be uncomfortable but not yet choking him.]

[Then they'll be together forever...]

[blackshadow]

It wants power...and you need to care about someone for it to get that...

[ So it's really just like her. He's really scared right now, though. So scared. ]

[ With the one they love... ]

[negativegate]

Power from love? Don't make me laugh. I thought it got power from absorbing life energy.

[She finds the idea ridiculous--of course, she can't understand it.]

[always......]

[blackshadow]

It does--of the people the bearer loves. That's why it'd never take you.

[ She doesn't understand love either. ]

[ Forever...But if she ever loves another blastia, Tyr will kill her >:( ]

[negativegate]

Hmph! So it picked you because you're a soft, sappy idiot?

[She certainly doesn't...]

[Huff, that won't ever happen!!]

[blackshadow]

Yeah, that's exactly it...

[ He says it through gritted teeth. How long is she going to hold his neck? ]

[ Better not! ]

[negativegate]

[She stays silent for several seconds, then...]

...Hmph!

[She lets go of the belt.]

[Never happening!!]

[blackshadow]

[ He finally takes a breath and moves his head a little for some more room...not that there's much. ]

[ She'll regret it if it does!! ]

[negativegate]

[She makes a small noise of contempt, moving over to his hand. Her eyes linger hungrily on the rune for a moment, then she pulls out the needles.]

You can have a break. You're no good to me if you're finished, after all.

[There'll be nothing to regret!!]

[blackshadow]

[ He gasps as they're pulled out, eyes instantly drawn over to his hand and the little pools of blood welling where the needles had been. ]

...Thanks.

[ That's what he likes to hear. >:| ]

[negativegate]

[Rita is unbothered, though she pauses for a moment.]

Are you capable of healing yourself?

[Huff, good!]

[blackshadow]

[ He won't even try nodding. ]

Yeah. You don't need to do anything.

[ Just go away so I can heal myself... ]

[ Huff!! ]

[negativegate]

Then go ahead.

[She makes no move to leave, though.]

[:

[blackshadow]

...Okay.

[ He looks down to his hand and the drops of blood rolling off it as he casts a quick spell. Healing Drops comes out as just a mumble, though the spell is as thorough as ever as the water hits his right hand. ]

[ >:< ]

[negativegate]

[She stands there and watches, observing-]

So you can cast just by talking.

[>o<]

[blackshadow]

...That's right. Runes only require and incantation.

[ Now he feels nervous... ]

[ >3< ]

[negativegate]

How are these incantations determined?

[Her expression is as cold as ever, but there's a spark of interest in her eyes.]

[...X3!!]

[blackshadow]

They're built into the runes. Once it's attached, you'll know it unconsciously...

[ there's the moé in moevil! ]

[negativegate]

Unconsciously? How ridiculous.

[She snorts in disbelief.]

[hee, there it is! X)]

[blackshadow]

[ There's a defensive edge to his voice: ] It's magic from another world. You shouldn't be so closed-minded...

[ so cute! ]

[negativegate]

I would assume it developed in a logical and understandable way. Is your world totally backwards?

[this is why they're moe~!]

[blackshadow]

The magic didn't develop in my world. It was created when the world was created and evolved naturally. The magic is tied to the runes; people don't just wear jewellery and make up spells.

[ Heck yeah it is~ X3 ]

[negativegate]

Hmph! No, you just wear the runes and act like their puppets instead, don't you?

Just so you know, I don't plan on killing you to take the rune for myself. You can keep that parasite. But I will find a method to control it.

[With that, she sneers, and strides away--out of the room, leaving him alone and tied up.]

[Kya~ :3]
