Larxene's such a tease.

Characters: Larxene and Valerie
Content: Larxene is running her own experimentation on Val-- but how well can that work when her thoughts are elsewhere.
Setting Unknown.
Time: Sometime after her session with Laharl.
Warnings: The typical Larxene-warnings.

Larxene waited on the table, since the room lacked a half decent chair for her to rest on, and like hell she was going to let Valerie have it. The dark colored bruises on her stomach and chest had only spread since her session with Laharl. It had pushed her to the point of actually considering asking the Superior to let her take a break. It wasn't like the request would be unwarranted.

A knife balanced on her hand, and she sighed, shifting uncomfortably. How much longer could it possibly take the dusks to go in and grab one person, hmm? Honestly, what else could they be counted on for, except to keep her waiting? As it is, she didn't really have a plan, which would have pissed Vexen off to know.

But she had... an outline. Something to that effect, anyway. What else could she possibly need?

"Hurt?" she asked, and at that moment, she chose to twist her kunai against the skin, far rougher than she really felt necessary. "Hmm... perhaps, but don't you think it a little rude to ask a question like that?" Her smile to Valerie strongly suggested that it would be in her best interest to drop the subject-- or Larxene would have an excellent reason to damage the girl-- much like she had Zidane- and to leave the pieces for the dusks to clean up.

"Besides, we're talking about you Valerie. I wouldn't want to steal the conversation with my accomplishments. And it certainly is an accomplishment to know that you've single-handedly screwed over every person you've met, or have been of absolutely no use to them in any way." She pet the other's hair as she said this, sounding kind, playing up the wrong emotion for the words that came out of her mouth. "But you'll be useful to us! Promise!"

She giggled at the end of her statement and pulled away. "It's not like you can do anything else for your friends. I wouldn't be surprised if they were cursing you at this very moment!" The kunai vanished from her hand and she smiled. "Ah, what a terrible life you have!"

"I know!" Valerie burst out, tears forming in her eyes. 'I know I screwed everyone I love over! You think I need you to tell me that? But I'm here, aren't I? I made my bed, I'll sleep in it! Now hurry up and get it over with! In case you couldn't tell, I have a hole to sleep in, thank you!"

Valerie swallowed the sob. NO. There would be no crying in front of Larxene. She was already weak and she was tired and she wanted to die. Of course the Kunai hurt and of course the pain was starting to set her skin aflame. She could and would bear it all. She did this to Danny. She did this to Misha. Now she was going to pay for it. Would she turn into a heartless? She didn't know. She just wanted it to hurry up and end. Dan was gone anyway. She got to see Danny again. She even got to make a friend.

It wasn't as if there was anything much left to take.
