[tilts his head thoughtfully]

... Yes.

[taps the flat of the knife on his collarbone a few times]

Hm. How convenient. And you don't have any problems with that?

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

Define 'problems'.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Difficulties. Doubts. Conflicting desires.

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

I already said I don't have a--

[stops, mouth tightening slightly]

I don't want to die. It wasn't something I cared about before, but I don't.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

That's a bit better. More than anything, I like the truth, you know.

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

I'll keep that in mind. I can be pretty shifty.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Then, I'll just have to continue to drag it out of you.

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

Yes ma'am.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

It's a bit more interesting than injuries you'll just heal when we're done, don't you think? Though I assume you were looking forward to that part.

[drags the knife down the center of his chest, scratching a line lightly]

Just a little bit.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

A little bit?

[digs in slightly deeper as she traces down further over his abdomen]

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

[breathes in a bit sharper]

A lot.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Hmm.

[pauses to watch the blood well up]

Is Vincent not giving you what you want, I wonder?

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

I wouldn't ask him to do this.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

No?

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

It doesn't mean the same to me as it does to him.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

And what exactly does that mean?

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

He doesn't have a good relationship with violence.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

And you do? How are you defining a good or bad relationship, in this context?

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

Hm. Control, I guess. The ability to control when you do it, the ability to be in control when you do it.

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I see.

[twirls the knife in her fingers thoughtfully]

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

[watching her fingers]

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[after a moment, catches it and holds it steady, and carefully cuts into his chest again, shallowly and perfectly horizontally, just under his collarbone]

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

[flicks his lashes down, watching the drip as it slides down his chest, biting the corner of his mouth very lightly]
