[breathes out, pushing the tip in just a little, with the movement]

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]

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[moves to touch the blood with her fingertips for a moment before apparently reconsidering, instead swiping quick, deep gashes across the top of both his biceps before withdrawing slightly]

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

[doesn't so much hiss as gasps quietly]

And what do you think of violence?

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Hm. Of course I have no problems with it. That would be a liability for a detective, particularly one in my position. But neither would I say I enjoy it particularly. Rather than the physical act of violence itself, you could say I like to be in control. I like to be the one inflicting pain on others. There are a lot of fun ways to do that.

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

Just pain?

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Pain, humiliation, shame... the best is that look of agonized realization when someone is forced to acknowledge something they've been denying. Or when they realize the mistake they've made when dealing with me,

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

So, are you trying to get that last one out of me?

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Perhaps.

[holds her hand out flat and drops the knife deliberately. it clatters on the floor]

Oops. Could you pick that up for me?

Re: Day 251

[edgeofjustice]

[laughs, a bit husky]

Am I allowed to use my hands?

Re: Day 251

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[:)]

Of course not.

[leans down, delicately licking the blade before taking the steel into his mouth, horizontal]
