[bringing up one finger to scrrrrrrape at the edge of your jawline ... sure is digging in hard enough to ruin the skin just under your jaw with her fingernail]

Isn't that what you do, with pets? They're not like friends. You can at least rely on friends to amuse themselves when you lose interest in them for a time.

[you're probably hitting a barrier of healed flesh right about now! you can feel it pulsing under the finger, pushing gently against it, as the wound repairs itself.]

[ exhales -- it's almost a hiss ]

Some people are quite mean to their pets, I hear.

[ . . . pushes hard on it. ]

[it's muscle, it doesn't go anywhere - though Sword makes a small noise in the back of her throat. it's too small a noise to tell if it's from pleasure or discomfort.]

I wouldn't be mean to a pet unless it's been naughty. Punishment is always important, you know.

[ laughs and pulls back a little so he can pull down on the parts of her that are still healing. ]

Be nice or I'll rip you open again and where will you be?

[amivoringyou]

[a faint "hnnnngh", more like a sigh.]

[unconcerned:] Healing again. But you're not a pet, anyway. [one hand comes up to press against his chest, finger-taps punctuating the words] You can take care of yourself.

Sometimes.

[ he laughs ]

I would have said the same for you, but it seems you got into quite the mess.

[amivoringyou]

It's been handled.

[adharma]

It's still quite careless.

[amivoringyou]

Nothing is careless, so long as you survive it with all your body intact and smarter than when you began it. Don't you think so?

[adharma]

. . . I suppose so.

[amivoringyou]

You don't think it's fun to survive?

[adharma]

And unfun to die?
