[after a moment, catches it and holds it steady, and carefully cuts into his chest again, shallowly and perfectly horizontally, just under his collarbone]
[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]
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.
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,
[pulls her hand away and leans to pick up the knife herself]
You could try to convince me. [folds the knife closed and then open again a few times]
I do like the idea of making you pick it up again... maybe I'll make you do it until your arms are numb from holding them in place, your wounds ooze as your break the forming clots, your skin is entirely damp with blood, and you pass out. Or, maybe you'd stop listening to me before then...? Maybe not. You seem a little too stubborn for that. But, if you'd like something else, it's a possibility. Go on and beg me. If you're convincing enough, maybe we'll have sex while you still have enough blood in you for it to be an option.

[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
Am I allowed to use my hands?
Re: Day 251
Of course not.

Are you looking for something?
Re: Day 251
You have nice hands.
Re: Day 251
Is that a hint that you'd rather have them on you than the blade?
