I'm not going to lie. It honestly should be weird. I should hate you, for being one of the very things I hate: someone possessing another person. But I don't think... I can honestly hate you entirely, Jorogumo.
[ Her lips quirk into a soft, sad smile. It's a little pitiful thing, but it seems like she means well. ]
But maybe that's because maybe I can see things that could be worse than this that I can actually say that with full confidence.
[He pauses there, with the silk halfway up her torso. He doesn't say anything for a while, pensive and uncertain as he avoids any direct eye contact. There's a small shake of his head as he slowly resumes his progress on the cocoon, looking for all intents and purposes like he's particularly focused on his work, even as he speaks.]
...I have to admit, you're a pretty interesting person. I really don't get what's going through your head right now.
[ She sounds rather earnest, although she does eye him rather carefully, as if trying to figure him out. ]
And you don't have to. To be honest, I was hoping to make this as boring as possible for you so you don't get the satisfaction, but I guess plans change. Well, you shouldn't understand since you don't exactly know me that well, now do you?
If you call roasting me boring, then I'd hate to know your definition of exciting.
[Hunting is exhausting sometimes and it's because of the people he chooses. Apparently.]
But yeah, I guess that's true. Still, I don't think you can say this is a typical reaction to being caught and eaten. Most people would be pretty scared.
Do you honestly think that something that I'd consider exciting would honestly be bad?
[ She raises a brow in a somewhat skeptical manner. Because seriously? Do you really doubt her that much? ]
But I guess you could say I'm not a typical person, since I'm not scared at all.
[ She sounds fairly confident in spite of being very aware that this is all a huge facade that she's playing up in front of him. Because she is, in fact, pretty damn scared. ]
No, it's actually the opposite: I don't think I'd know how to handle it if you did go that route.
[Some of her comments were already embarrassing enough?! However, it's time for him to be a little bit skeptical this time as his eyes flicker over to her at the last part. Certainly, her tone gives nothing away, but the way it's said almost comes off as childish.]
[ It might come off as childish to him, but to her, those words are reassurance. If she says them aloud, then maybe she can even believe those words just a little bit. ]
You're right that you probably wouldn't be able to handle it if we somehow made it too exciting. Since I wasn't joking about wanting to kiss you.
[ INABA???? Is now really the time to talk about this? With your killer? She does close her eyes, a humming a little contemplatively. ]
Thank you, though. For deciding to make it quick.
[ ALSO SHOULD NOT BE THANKING YOUR KILLER, but small..... mercies.... I guess. ]
[There's just a hint of fond exasperation as he says that. But at this point, the cocoon's almost complete -- with the silk all the way up to Inaba's shoulders, there isn't really much left to do but end it. He stops, and looks her in the eyes.]
...Do you have any final requests? There's obviously only so much I can or will do, but if there's something on your mind... now's the time.
[ Somehow she really is going back to laughing at all of this. This is honestly ridiculous, she's not going to lie. How did things end up like this, she doesn't know.
Instead, she just... smiles back at him; the fondness that she hears in spite of his expaseration is strangely nice? Hm. ]
Not right now, but later. I left a letter for you in my room before I went out. I want you to at least read it. That's all.
[Maybe every kill he'll do here is doomed to be strange, although this isn't bad, he supposes. It's easier to deal with when people don't fight it, even if it makes him question their sense of self-preservation. Last requests are probably the least he could do if they're going to be that reckless.
He nods.]
Alright. You've got my word.
[And with that, he finally moves closer to bite down at her jugular with his fangs, injecting as much venom as he can.]
[ It's pretty ironic that she did something this reckless; it isn't like her at all in the slightest bit. To do something like this... she'll have to apologize to a lot of people later, if she can even gather the courage to do that.
After all, she broke a few promises with this.
Nevertheless, she doesn't fight it, even as she flinches slightly in pain as he bites down and injects her with the poison that easily gets into her veins, killing her. Have fun with that body! ]
