slithering-nightmare:
"Make me." - Tsubaki
"Tsubaki, Tsubaki, Tsubaki… must we really do this?” Terumi traces his jawline with the backside of a hand. Golden eyes sharply narrowing. “I gave pretty simple orders. If you can’t go through with them, then you’re throwing away your loyalty to the Imperator Librarius. Is that somethin’ y’can live with? Somethin’ for your family to carry for years to come?” He hoped that his knife plunged deep into her emotion, wanting her to suffer the most. For Tsubaki’s despair was most sweet, like an even sweeter nectar.
"Ngh.."
The Izayoi daughter paused as she curled her lips into a quiet snarl.
"The.. Imperator.." she repeated, like a doll and clenched her fists tight enough for them to tremble, her gloves squeaking as the leather was clenched so tight.
My family.. Jin..Tsubaki's mind flashed those words in a second and she closed her blue eyes as her lip twitched, hands trembling.
Silence was her answer, but her body did not move, as if that were her answer. Her answer of loyalty to the Imperator Librarius..
