[...and in the next few seconds he stops thrashing, eyes slipping closed as he slumps. Like a sack of something... darkness related.
He's going to be so pissed off when he wakes up.]

[Kaz's feigned withdrawal fools Naminé, too, just long enough for despair to make it through her and show slightly on her face, only-- the next second Kaz has got a knife and is on the move and she automatically squeezes her eyes shut with a yelp.]
[Except she discovers quickly enough that she wasn't the target and her eyes snap open again in time to see Vanitas get bitten. ... Bitten? Bitten, what--]
[Oh.]
[That's... what, apparently, and she presses her hands over her mouth, more than a little horrified at the sight of him as he loses consciousness. How--? Is he dead?Should she be glad, if he is?]
[Still visibly unsettled, she turns big blue eyes Kaz's way.]

[ He turns his gaze on her next, keeping his knife in hand even as he places a foot on Vanitas' back. Just in case. ]
Looks like an opportunity for you to show what you've got just opened up kid. Show me your power and heal this idiot--an' don't even think about clearing up the venom when you do it.

[Her already defensive posture becomes slightly more so when he turns to her again, and she closes her mouth a little more tightly. The order is at first a bit surprising, not only because he's telling her to heal someone he just injured himself - which, in a way, sort of makes sense, because it does at least prove her ability - but also because it confirms that Vanitas is, in fact, still alive.]
[... She'll withhold judgement on whether or not that's a good thing. Almost gingerly, she nods, as if afraid that nodding incorrectly would inspire his wrath. He doesn't have to worry about her messing with the venom; she's not even sure she can, but she's pretty sure she shouldn't. Just as cautiously, she lowers herself into a seated position next to Vanitas' slumped form, glancing up at Kaz to make sure she hasn't earned his disapproval before reaching toward the unconscious boy.]

[HATREEEEED SO MUCH HATRED.
Vanitas is going to leave a permanent stain on Kaz' bedroom floor, from where his throat was nicked by his daggar. He also had no real control over the way he landed, so his mouth's slightly open and... leaving a spot of drool as well. lakjsdlfkj so undignified DX]

[ He hates you too honey♥ Also he approves of how pathetic and hunger-sating you look right now so be glad you have truce with Kaz at the moment or there would be a lot less healing going on 8'| Because it's that that keeps Kaz standing where he is, watching with interest as Namine steps forward. He'll wait until she's done before he does anything--he wants to see how healing here works ]
[Hm. How to go about this? It's awkward with him all slumped like that... and maybe she can't help feeling a little bad for him, seeing him like that, so, cautiously and actually very gently (especially for someone he just threatened to kill) she rolls Vanitas onto his back, if Kaz will allow her to, and-- oh, ew. Drool. That's... pretty gross, man. She's just going to... start to reach for the wounds, instead, pause, then quickly nudge his mouth closed with a finger under his jaw before returning both hands to hovering over the cut on his neck, first. It doesn't look too deep, so it shouldn't be too much trouble, and she gets to work with her power, closing up that particular injury quickly.]
[As for the bite, she peers down at it for a moment. Hm. She's never had to do something like that before, but it seems like a simple enough puncture wound...? Oh, well, better give it a shot.]

...It cost you anythin' to use that power? [ Since she seems to be working slow compared to the healers in his world and the others he's happened to witness in Asgard--but that could just be her. Maybe her power works a bit differently. ]
[She's distracted briefly from her work by the comment, but turns her eyes quickly back down to the closing marks, which seal up soon enough.]
... Energy, I guess. [Her hands linger over Vanitas' neck for a moment as she checks to make sure that the injury is really gone, then she withdraws them. She does look tired, since,] I've been doing this most of the day.

[She folds her hands on her lap, pausing.]
... I suppose so. [What counts as fast, for him? She's usually faster that that, what with all the practice she's been getting, but,] I am still learning.

[She straightens, visibly distressed by that question.]
I--... no. Probably not-- not without help. I'm... not that good yet.
I--... no. Probably not-- not without help. I'm... not that good yet.
But you're gonna get better aren't you? From now on you'll work hard to make your power even stronger so you could do something like that no sweat.
....
[She's not certain she likes the implications of that, but, slowly, she nods.]
Yes. I'll do my very best. [It was always her goal from the beginning, after all.]

That's what I thought. An' I know you'll feel so grateful I didn't let Chuckles here do you in that you'll make nice an' sure to make it up to me. He doesn't play well with others after all. [ Which is more than an understatement, but she seemed frightened enough of him as it is. And the poison's not going to last forever, so he'll prompt Namine to stand with Body Control ]
Neither do I. So you're gonna forget you saw us anywhere near that place and keep that tiny mouth of yours shut. Understand? It's inconvenient for me to have you killed but even worse if you're gonna rat me out. Consider this your chance to do the right thing: do exactly what I say, when I say it. An' if you don't want to I'll make you, because that's the kinda power I have here.
[ He'll take a step closer to her so he's looming over poor Namine, mismatched eyes focused intently on her ]
I can make people do whatever I want. If I want Vanitas to bite out his own tongue? It's gonna happen. So don't make me find out what I can make you do brat. Got it?

[There's already a frown pulling at her lips the moment he says the word 'feel'. The following words, of course, do absolutely nothing to alleviate the growing sense of dread creeping up her spine. Startled though she is by the feeling of her body standing of its own accord, she stays silent, eyes slightly wider.]
[Her eyebrows move toward each other a little more at each sentence, and she looks as though she feels a bit ill. She's not surprised that he's demanding she keep her mouth shut, not really, and not surprised by the rest of it, either, but hearing it isn't the same thing as anticipating it. Just how much more will he tell her to do, besides stay quiet about this? But really, there's no use in worrying about it. She leans back slightly to keep her eyes on him as he looms over her - and it's not a hard thing to do, though it's still intimidating.]
[And what can she do but nod? So she does, frown still firmly in place. Yeah, she's got it.]

I want to hear you say it--nodding isn't good enough.
--....
[So much for keeping her mouth shut--]
... I've got it.
[So much for keeping her mouth shut--]

[... She was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Her brow knits, and it's obvious she doesn't want to, but she's good enough at keeping her voice level when she says,]
I'll do whatever you want.
I'll do whatever you want.
Glad to hear it--now get out of here. I'll know if you say anything--and you'll be the first on my list when it happens.
[Her jaw clenches slightly, then she nods. If it means getting out of here-- well, she doesn't have to say anything. If they keep acting like this, word's bound to get out one way or another. Cautiously, she edges around Kaz and heads for the door, careful to keep an eye on him.]
[ He sneers a bit, but he's putting away his knife and watching until she leaves. GET GOING NAMINE he has a pissy fake sora to deal with in like 2 minutes here. ]
[YEAH, she's going, don't worry. She is so out of here. She shuts the door behind her, and once she's sure she's out of Kaz's sight, well... she'll just be running as much of the way back to Sigyn House as she can, thoroughly unsettled.]
[She'd hoped she was done making deals with the devil.]
