Re: Finding the Breaking Point (Hafnium)
Tamonten's apology went about as well as she'd initially expected it to, at first. She was silent for a time, Nellic looked on hopefully, and the dragoness glared. She spoke a single word, one tiny syllable, Nellic smiled hopefully even as she trailed off, and the dragoness glared. Then, when she got over her shame enough to open her mouth and say what little she could, Nellic looked on hopefully, and the dragoness glared while looking right into Tamonten's eyes, as if daring her to think that her words would mean a thing in the face of what she had done. The next moment passed in silence as the dragoness continued to glare at Tamonten, her eyes filled with righteous anger, but Nellic continued to look on with a gaze of blind hope, as if his naive optimism could make the green-scaled woman standing at his side somehow less enraged.
The tension around the three of them had, once more, attracted a great deal of attention. Eyes fixated on her from all across the yard, some curious and some hoping for more violence, the latter seeming to come mostly from the armed guards scattered throughout the prisoners.
"Words."
The singe word, spoken in a harsh whisper but coming from a voice that Tamonten noted was unusually deep and heavy for a woman, caused Nellic's expression to crack just slightly, but after a moment the green-scaled dragoness proceeded on; "You rape my sister, break her, tear her soul to shreds.... And you offer me words?" She began to stalk around Nellic, whom Tamonten noted had adopted a readied stance in a very subtle manner for a man his size. "You take her purity, an act that she ought to have shared with one whom she loved... Sired your wretched half-blood spawn in her belly.... And you degrade her beyond our captors wildest dreams, such that she sings praises of your work to us. And you give me..."
She stepped in front of Tamonten and faced her squarely, a reptilian tail thrashing against the ground behind her, and it was hard not to notice that the tip turned into a blade-like bony spike that oozed a strange, reddish liquid. "Words...." she stated finally, and tilted her head at Tamonten as if asking for confirmation. Whether the swordswoman responded or not, she wouldn't get more than a word out before the woman standing mere inches from her spoke again, this time in a snarl as her eyes shifted in color and shape, leaving them as blood red with slitted pupils that were a brilliant blazing gold; "Were I not held from doing so by the fallen's collar, I would burn you down to the dust from which you were born! That we are here at all is a grave insult, and that I have been made to watch as my sister's were raped... Is worse.... But that I must endure this... These insults from the perpetrators!? Did you not take enough pleasure from my sister's body!? Must you delight in my pain as well, monster!?" Her voice had cracked when she'd mentioned her sisters, but afterwards her fury had only seemed to increase, to the point that her last word was nearly shouted in Tamonten's face.
Nellic stood a ways off, within reach if needed but passive for the moment. He was watching the exchange between the two with a great deal of concern, but as yet the dragoness hadn't opted to resort to violence. She was merely gazing at Tamonten with a look of raw, unbridled hatred, giving the pale swordswoman a moment in which she might be able to respond, if she so desired.
