[Good thing the belts are holding, she thinks absently. More importantly, she muses out loud-]

A stronger input on this setting isn't too much for your body to handle...

[And higher. Higher.]

[Nononope.]

[blackshadow]

[ He keeps trying to move against the restraints to free himself even though he can't get far. The feeling... It's not like something he's experienced before, but he's suddenly aware of all the bones and nerves in his hand and the way it sits on the arm of the chair. ]

But... [ It hurts... ] What's happening?

[ stubborn in denial... ]

[negativegate]

Nothing you need to think about.

[She still has no response from the rune, though. It's not entirely surprising--she didn't expect it to be this easy to figure out what it would respond to. It just means she has to keep exploring different options.

She lets it go on a little longer, then finally deactivates the formula.]

[Never ever!!]

[blackshadow]

[ Even once she stops it, he can still feel that dull ache in his hand. It really feels like pins and needles... ]

Come on...

[ and the sky isn't blue ]

[negativegate]

[Only now does she finally turn to him, one eyebrow raised.]

What? You want to keep going?

[Th-they sky has nothing to do with it!!]

[blackshadow]

The sooner you do the sooner this'll be over...

[ He doesn't even meet her eyes. ]

[ so not a genius... ]

[negativegate]

[She's silent for a moment, and then a cold smile creeps across her face.]

What do you know? You actually understand that much.

Anyway, I need to move on to a different approach until I find one that gets results. You could be here for a while.

[H-huff, so is!!]

[blackshadow]

[ He glares at her when she says that. It makes him more stubborn in knowing that he's better than this and the actual Rita knows that, too. This time, it's his voice that sounds almost malicious. ]

At this hour, you don't have much time left anyway.

[ Nope, not in any way. ]

[negativegate]

[He has some nerve having that much attitude in his position, she thinks, and she sneers at him.]

Maybe it's past bedtime for a brat like you, but I can do this all night.

[In every way!!]

[blackshadow]

Don't get careless.

[ He gets some satisfaction from getting under her skin like this. Even if she'll hurt him (and he's still in pain), he likes insulting her. ]

[ haha, that's a good one! ]

[negativegate]

Like this?

[And she'll "carelessly" reactivate the blastia, bringing back the throbbing at the same strength as when she stopped it.]

[It's true!!]

[blackshadow]

Ahn-!

[ He bites his lips shut and tries pulling his hand back again. ]

Just...like that.

[ It's not funny if you keep saying it... ]

[negativegate]

Hmph. Still feel like being an idiot?

[She lets it continue a few moments longer, then doesn't feel like wasting more time, so she shuts it off.]

[It's not supposed to be funny!! :<]

[blackshadow]

[ He groans quietly when it finally shuts off. Sadistic witch... He slowly shakes his head. ]

[ then why is she making the joke??? ]

[negativegate]

[She smirks, then strides over to check and make sure he's not dying or anything.]

Injuries?

[It's not a joke!! :<]

[blackshadow]

[ He looks up at her again, and despite his eyes being a little watery, he doesn't look anything but angry. ]

Just on the one hand...

[ ...so what is it? ]

[negativegate]

[Her face stays impassive, and she leans over to inspect the hand with the wires.]

Human flesh is pretty weak, isn't it?

[The truth!!!]

[blackshadow]

[ What a disgusting thing to say. He almost looks confused when she says that. ]

And you want to be completely blastia?

[ ahaha, there's the punchline! ]

[negativegate]

[She looks over his hand, deciding with a sigh that she'll probably have to let it be treated.]

Perhaps, once I create models far enough advanced.

[W-what? ;o;]

[blackshadow]

[ Not that Tyr tries to heal it just yet. He wants to, though... ]

Hm...

[ The idea actually makes him sad more than anything. She's so far from the Rita he knows... She's hardly human. ]

[ no need to play dumb! ]

[negativegate]

You don't like that?

[She scoffs and turns away. There's no point in treating it just yet since she has more to do. Once she decided to take a break, then he can be healed.]

[she isn't!!!]

[blackshadow]

[ He's not entirely sure how to answer that. ]

It's not my body to like or dislike...

[ Which is true. He hopes... ]

[ She so is~ ]

[negativegate]

You're damn right it's not.

[She faces him again, this time letting her eyes wander over him like a predator.]

But if I don't need your body for the rune...

[Noooo ;o;]

[blackshadow]

[ He automatically tenses, pushing his shoulders back and glaring up at her. ]

You're not going to get the rune off me, so you can stop right there.

[ delicious evil tears... ]

[negativegate]

[He gets an arrogant grin in response as she starts to turn back to the blastia.]

If you think I'm just going to let you go either way, you really are a fool.

[moevil...]
