||what are we planning to do tho o3o

||hm- Ah!- sorry sorry
Hugh
||turn visible on dumbass
Peggy
**He was roaming around looking for new hunting grounds as he looked around he saw the ruined castle** Well ruined castle means fun antiquities to sell... Lets get searching~ **He smiled as he began to walk towards the castle passing the moss covered walls of the castle**
Karen
-Yet the ruins werent empty as they seemed. Distant steps could be heard echoing through the area with an unusual feeling t them. They werent even meant to be silent they signified someone that was sure of his surroundings and felt secure there. The person was Lothaire dragging a wild beast wolf corpse with the blood spilling everywhere but he didnt care. It would be a new test subject seraching for differences in them and regular wolfes-
Peggy
Hm-.... **He stopped and looked in the direction from where the sound was coming from** ..... Alright so this is either a watchman or caretaker... Of this dump... Or a homeless guy seeking shelter... Or a monster... And the myster person iiiisss 3...2...1.... **His eyes changed to disappointment seeing it was just a guy with a wolf corpse** Well there goes my expectations...
Karen
-Hearing something Lothaire prepared his hand on the handle of his katana whilst still walking to the centr of the ruins seemingly without purpose but after few steps he... Disappeared without a sound and the only thing left of him was a fresh trail of blood on the grass and moss cut off into a gaping abyss wich was a descend into the castles exposed dungeon-
Peggy
.... **He closed his eyes listening around to the sounds around him trying to decipher what noises he had to focus on and where they would be coming from**
Karen
-After a second the steps would continue but now in a different manner as Lothaires boots hit the cold stone of the dungeon. Then after a second two roars could be heard. Unfamilliar to this place. Such roars didint belong here as thy were Lothaires dragons which he just patted on their noses going deeper into the dungeons to his labolatory-

"Im home"
Peggy
..... **He opened his eyes as he heard the faint speech from a nearby distance** Hello?... Is anyone there?... **He began walking towards the direction from where he heard the voice**
Merle
||Ok so ur gonna have to bare with me giving our slow replies cuz im out with family in a different country and i'll be back to my normal schedule and stuff tuesday onwards ^^

||it's off for personal reasons
Karen
-As soon as Lothaire heard a voice he was sure of his suspicions earlier. Someone was here and wouldnt seem to go away despite everything. Lothaire then sighed dropping the wolfs body onto the ground with a disgutsing thud of meat. -

"Who ever is there. Show yourself"
Peggy
**He walked around and finally appeared infront of loth** Hm- Oh heya! ^^ you new around here?...
Karen
"Does it seem like I am? Who are you even and what part of this place tells you to go further"

-His tone wasnt welcoming or nice. It wasnt meant to be as Lothaire didnt know who he was and what Aces intentions were but above all that he didint want anyone disturbing his research.-
Peggy
Touché but i can confirm i have no ill will or intentions im simply just exploring around **He looks around, he noticed the werewolf corpse** Hm- what's that you got there? **He tilted his head in curiosity**
Karen
"A tool"

-Lothaire wasnt going to tell Ace what he is doingstraight out of the gate without knowing his full purpose. He the turned away from him to grab the corpse and with a slight disgust he picked it up. Some reckless vampire turned it into what it was and let it loose when Lothaire was hunting and as the crreature interrupted him he had to take care of it-

"And what do you have kid?"
Peggy
Oh just a few weapons and all for defense and bounty hunting **He smiled** But again u need not worry about these im not here on business mainly here to just explore and look around Oh right im ace btw Ace Jackson
Karen
"And you decided to wander to a place that has two drakes glaring at you?"

-In Lothaires mind this sound like insanity and his face showed pure confusion to Aces purpose in the place-

"Anything else? Im sure you have questions but do not expect me to answer every"
Peggy
Me? Well no not much really im more curious about the history of this castle here... It's so broken and ruined yet you seem to be a often visitor of this place... 

**He crossed his arms being very curious**

Do you live here?...
Karen
"I do. Cant really leave the place for long even in the forest"

-Lothaire then almost with a lack of care for ace being there went past the drakes revealing a door to a further section of the dungeons. He then whistled at the drakes with them moving away and staying down but make no mistake. They would kill Ace if he tried to harm their master-

"What are you?"
Peggy
Originally a human... Turned vampire... **He looked to the dragons** ....My brother's and his wife has bigger ones... :3 **He looked to lothaire** Hbu? What are you?
Karen
"Human turned vampire huh?...*You will be useful*"

-Lorthaire then reached into the room taking something out of it with his back still turned to Ace. His face twisted his blood boiling for the act he has to do. Then when he turned around he shot an arrow from his bow snapping his fingers multiplying it to 20-

"Im sorry for what I have to do"
Peggy
**He quickly ran behind a the legs of one the drakes** Yeah no i have a gf waiting for me and if i don't make to dinner she'll absolutely kill me **He used his telekinetic abilities to cause a chair to fly up and then crash into lothaire as he used the opportunity to make a break for it**
Karen
-The dragon that Ace used to hide behind swung its leg at him as he was escaping and the other one flew to block the entrance to the underground and sending a gale at Ace to force him back to lothaire-

"There is no escape for you"
Peggy
Buddy trust me you don't want this work~ I mean u look like a very distinguished gentleman and you wouldn't want trouble with the kingdom of kahlo would you now?
Karen
-When Lothaire heard the name of a country that has caused him so much pain he became furious grabbing his bow even tighter. To threaten him with them coming for him? This would be personal for once. 

"Kahlo can eat all their shit and come here as they please"

-The string of the bow has been pulled back once again with the arrow against Lothaires cheek. This time something was different as Lothaire pointed the bow to the ceiling of the cavern.Shortly after the arrow flew and multiplied itself once again with a faint glow in them sure to exlode on impact-
Peggy
Hm- Oh im so no dying to a cave in- **He began concentate causing the falling rocks to float his eyes glowing red as he was struggling just... What... I... Is... Your problem! **Pushed outwards causing the rocks to smash into both the drakes with full force knocking them away as he was panting quickly catching his breath and regaining his energy** I have no quarrel with you... And nor do you have any reason to mess with me...
Karen
"Even if I told you why am I doing anything you wouldnt just get it. Neither would you like to join me in it."

-Lothaire then pulled tte string of his bow back with three arrows appearing on it. Two of them slightly glew with lothaire aiming at Ace in an arc. His face was now relaxed knowing that even if the man survives and escapes this encounter might be useful. Lost in thoughts he released the string and snapped his fingers sending 60 arrows at Ace slightly grinning-
Jennifer
[[btw he went to bed-
Peggy
**He was getting pissed as his eyes flashed for a bit he saw the man who killed his mother he knew it was a dead man but never the less it was enough rage for him to gather the arrows around him causing them to circle around him as if he was imitating a pseudo gravitational force** Just let's not fight... Please... **He released the arrows all of them firing off in different directions some grazing lothaire's cheek, arm and thigh most were shallow cuts but there were a few deep cuts as well**
Karen
-Yet before Lothaires own arrows could do any significant damage he unsheathed his katana and cut the rest of them down. The damage he took wasnt anything lethal yet but it was painful to be sure but that wouldnt be enough to cloud Lothaires mind. As such he stuck the sword into the cold stone beneath his feet and shattered it creating a failsafe of sorts.Lothaire then took the string of his bow again with only one arrow ready as so far and pulled it back with a glow on them and a rule of their explosion. If they were to change their course they would explode. One last chance to get Ace alive or just to chase him off from his dungeons-
Peggy
**He used his ability flick the bow out of his hand** Can we please just talk it out... You seem like a reasonable and educated guy so why fight this out like animals we can talk it out
Karen
"There is nothing to talk about. Nothing you would want to understand or be a part of. Dont make it harder than it has to be.Im trying to save all of us... Stop struggling"
Peggy
Oh bullshit i've heard this "Im saving the world" Bullshit too many times buddy You have a dead werewolf so just be happy with that what's so special abt me?...
Karen
"World? YOu think I want to save everybody? Oh no no no"

-Lothairee began to laugh when he heard Aces claim. His laugh wasnt one that you would want to laugh. Lothaire even bent in half from the laughter like he didnt feel his injuries. Then suddenly he stopped and stood up in a serious manner.-

"I dont care about the world. The only people im saving are the likes of us. Dont tell me that you wanted all of this. Life as an outcast always judged and hunted. Thats not a life you would want. Thats not a life you FUCKING GET! When you are one of us"
Peggy
I have a family and woman who loves and im not a fucking outcast... Im loved and cared for so leave me the fuck alone you psycho!
Karen
"Then where are they? Kahlo? Dont make me laugh again. No matter the the time no matter the events no one ever wanted us there. Let me guess. Dead. In the fucking ground murdered."
Peggy
Unlike you i have people waiting for me... **He turned beginning to walk away**
Karen
-He tried to follow but he felt the wounds that were caused by him wanitng ace alive. A mistake. Lothaire felt to one knee in silence turning away as well clapping at the drakes to let him pass-

"...Next time bring more test subjects than yourself..."
Michelle

Hugh
DONT EXPECT ME TO BE AS CREATIVE
Michelle
OK OK SO DOES SHE JUST WAKE UP IN A TANJ OR ]]
Donnie
*A couple hours passed, her whole body felt like static. Her eyesight was still clouded as she put her hand out only to feel glass. Frantically her other hand reached out, again to feel glass. Her tail was bent a bit considering he tail took up about 2/3's of her body, the tail in of itself was almost 7 feet. She banged on the glass it made a horrible vibrating sound that disturbed her ears. Laika, now able to see a bit more clearly, looked around to try and get a more clear viewing* "Where the fuck... Laika goddamnit." *She mumbled to herself as she turned around again to see Lothaire.* "You."
Karen
"Yes me. What do you want?"

-Lothaire asked as he was cutting into a corpse of a wild beast. Everything was on the view and Lothaire wasnt even slightly moved by the blood and guts spilling everywhere. It couldnt be long since he started the vivisection with fresh crimson blood still flowing on the ground into the sewers from which rats could be heard. Around Lothaire there were many jars wand flasks with strange liquids withn few of them body parts were submerged in. It was one of his operating rooms now being fitted for Laika yet due to the lack of time her confiment was pretty tight-

"Apologies for the lack of space for you. The accomodation you were given wasnt used for your species before"
Donnie
"I mean I sort of expected this but not like this? What the hell was that weapon of yours??" *She pursed her lips together, the wild animal guts looked disgusting and rotten. She's fine with meat or guts but this one looked like it had a parasite still living in it. Laika was still a bit shocked as she stared around the room and then back at Lothaire.* "Other than the fact I'm kidnapped, its generous enough that being a fucking cargo box"
Karen
"A special one"

-Yet with the constant voice of Laika in the he couldnt keep his thoughts in check and so he got up from his chair and threw the corpse outside of the doors from outside which a deep and powerful roar could be heard. It was a roar of a massive dragon... Or dragons it would be better to say. Lothaire acted like it wasnt even happening even more so he just closed the doors behind himself and looked with his head tilted at Laika. Now when everything was calm he could see the beauty people fell for often to their demise. It was a shame he had to break such a doll but her beauty wasnt above what he had to do-

"You could have been strapped to the wall and maybe I would remember to water your gills once in a while. How would that sound?"
Donnie
*The powerful roar spooked her a bit, she looked around trying to see where in gods name that came from.* "I'm sorry what that a fucking dragon? Are you a wizard or something jesus christ.." *She turned around again towards Lothaire's direction, she was surprised from how unbothered he is. Honestly, she was wondering how he wasn't deaf by now if he heard that often. When she heard him mention of strapping her to a wall she pursed her lips again and then shook her head,* "Uhhhh yeah no I think I'm ok with this antibotic pill thanks.."
Karen
"Thought so"

-She was next for today however. With a slight disappointment Lothaire cracked his fingers and took the jars with organs aside onto wooden shelfes that took all of the walls in this small room. Lothaire had a lot of species there in pieces. So many in fact that remembering each and every one proved to be harder day after day, harvest after harvest. His work of a sisyphus yet he couldnt stop as well hoping that one day he will find his dream. His rest and peace from everything. When he was done with the jars he approached the containment Laika was in and grabbed the handle used to open it. He had limited amount of time before he would have to put her back in and limited amount of blood in her... Such annoyance of having just one test subject. With a slight amount of struggle against the pressure of the water he released the water from inside the container and without skipping a beat he opened the doors to Laika. He was once again mechanical. Emotionless and driven only by his goal. The slightest amount of empathy he had was now gone when he grabbed Laika by the throat and put her on the operating table strapping her down with steel chains. Shortly after came a small pill into her mouth to keep her awake and painless. The less struggle from the siren the better it was for them both and Lothaire was sure to use everything he had-

"Dont struggle"

-This sentence could be the last Laika will ever hear or the last one she will remember before the hell will begin-
Donnie
*She didn't like this at all. The enclosed space and the parts and guts of other creatures stuffed into jars, it made her stomach do backflips. The capsule she was put in was tight so she tried to turn around again, her tail whacking the glass. Laika somehow managed to spook herself with it as the glass vibrated* "Some glass wall you have here- it's like a fucking wall" *She muttered to herself, of course the moment he saw her open the handle she immediately shrunk back. Her webbed hands placed against the walls of the containment, her fins flattened. She expected him to throw something in there, she didn't expect to him to grab her by the throat and body slam her into an operating table.* "HEY WHAT- CHRIST-" *She yelled as she watched Lothaire tighten the straps, she had absolutely no idea what to do. The fin's on her tail smacked against the table, it was like a writhing snake. She seriously considered throwing up the pill to spite him but she already swallowed it (not by choice)*
Karen
"Id rather not move later if I were you when I begin"

-Now... The operation and hell will begin. Lothaire took a scalpel and few small hooks attached to the table Laika was on. They were there to secure anything loose in the later stages of the operation. Without any waning or signs from his stoic face Lothaire grabbed the chainmail on Laikas chest and ripped it off ||exposing her breast and chest itself. When he saw them he wasnt moved or turned on by them as the only thing he thought was that they werent anything different and were similar to ones to most of the species he has captured. Then the scalpel begun to work when Lothaire started to slowly cut Laika open. Her chest as it was cut open begun to be more "Alive". Flesh and blood spilling everywhere with the skin hooked up as not to disturb any view or notes Lothaire begun to write in his mind.The hooks were nowhere close to being polite or gentle with some of Laikas flesh ripping apart stretched to points where it shouldnt have been. ||
Hugh
Fair warning to anyone reading: There might be some disturbing stuff there but i tried to tone it down at least a little
Michelle
Estoy stupid so afterwards i would assume she would wake up after said surgery yes or still unconscious]]
Donnie
*Laika was struggling through the straps but they were stronger than the average hunters clasps. She could think of a million different things to yell at him, asking him about what he was doing or to stop but she couldn't. Her mind was frozen into a state of panic and she couldn't sing. Already she could feel herself hyperventilating as she watched Lothaire grab the scalpel and place it on her chest. The scalpel tracing down her chest was cold, she could feel the cold metal penetrate through her soft skin. Already her eyes began to water, but seemed to try and hold back tears. Although she knew full well there was no way she could hold up a 'tough' facade.*
Karen
"That will be all for today my siren. Thank you for your sacrifice"

-Lothaire then slightly bowed to Laika on the table. Nothing about him seemed different yet... Yet Lothaire wasnt trying to torture her any further with his actions and his gratitude. It was off putting but he didnt seem to notice in the slightest seeing as he prepared Laika for the transfer to her containment. He begun to gently take the hooks out cleaning right after the blood spilled from their placement. After all the hooks were removed he started to remove the straps that held Laika in one place. He was careful as not to damage her any further. He needed her in a perfect state for later operations and with the past experiences he was watchful of what she would do if he turns his back. Others struggled. Tried to kill him when given the chance. He didnt even blame them. He knew that they wouldnt see his work as he did. He knew they wouldnt understand. Ah... She is crying. Poor soul trapped in his hell.-

"I dont expect you to understand nor forgive me for what Im doing. Its above all of you"

-When he finished he gently took the siren into the glass containment. He closed the doors shortly after and opened the valve for life giving water Laika desperately needed.-
Donnie
Her body trembled still, perhaps a result of aftershock. She could feel herself grow dizzy and her vision blurry, most likely from the lack of water and loss of blood. Her hands moved around, misplacing themselves. She felt as if she had just cheated death, she was alive but she felt dead. Her body felt hollow even though all her organs were still there, or she hoped so at least. The operation felt like a blur of fear, as if it were something she could come up with in a nightmare. As she felt herself being lifted and placed back in the glass containment, the water rushed to her gills flooding the rest of her body. A loud gasp came from her as she jolted awake and she felt around her chest, she then looked down to see the scar from the stitches. A hand placed over her mouth, what she was praying she had imagined was unfortunately real. Her fins frantically treaded the water as she looked around to see Lothaire once more. She had her voice back now, what was to prevent her from singing? From defending herself. Nothing. Yet she stayed silent as she glared at him, her eyes narrowing at his bloody appearance. "What was this done... For fun? For your entertainment?" Her voice shook a bit, she was afraid of him. Yet she wanted to know his reasoning, or more she had to. It lingered through her mind why a person would kidnap a siren and take to the extents to shove it into a water containment, operate on it, and shove it back in just to make sure it was alive.
Karen
-As soon as the words spoken by Laika reached Lothaires ears he begun to laugh. At first it was something resembling a laugh you would get from telling a nice joke or being drunk... However soon it would be seen what laugh it was. Lothaires face beame twisted in pain and insanity his research has caused him-

"You... You think I do this for fun?"

-He stopped his sentence to take a breath and laugh almost chocking on it-

"Do you think I like this?...DO YOU THINK I WANTED TO BE CURSED WITH WHAT I AM?"

-Lothaire then turned around and punched the wall on which Laikas Containment was placed with such force that the stone begun to crack around it. It was soething never seen before by anyone unlucky enough to be here and if he was tu use it earlier Laikas spine would have been transformed to the point of unrecognisablity. He barely kept himself together he barely even held back from punching through the glass to show the "Fun" He endured for a century.-

"DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD HAVE ENJOYED BEING HUNTED FOR OVER HUNDRED YYEARS BY HUMANS? ALWAYS HAVING A TARGET ON MY BACK?"

-He approached the glass doors with rageful red eyes and his fangs exposed and his voice wanting to rip everything apart including itself. Everything in his way every human that lives lived and will live in the future.-
Donnie
Out of all the reactions she expected this was not one of them, she stared at Lothaire in utter confusion as she watched his face contort itself to insanity. She swam back a bit to the very back of the containment the moment she watched Lothaire throw a punch to her containment. It spooked her, the glass shook and vibrated violently, she covered her ears until the noise stopped. 

"You're fucking psychotic.. Look at whats around you?! Your walls are decorated with the guts of god knows what other species have had to suffer your experimentations!" She had no idea what she was getting herself into, one wrong word and she could get her heart ripped out. 

"Nobody enjoys being hunted, I certainly know that feeling but it doesn't mean you unleash your anger by taking the lives of others. That's not how it fucking works. Honestly if you've been like this all along I can see why they would hunt you down..." She murmured the last part to herself, mostly out of fear of him hearing it.
Karen
"I FUCKING WISH I WASNT FORCED TO DO THAT.TO DO WHAT I MUST TO SAVE MY KIND. KILLED MURDERED FUCKING BUTCHRED... Do you really think I want all of this?"

-There he stood with his fist still on the glass. A broken man with clear purpose but a twisted path. No way to redeem no way to go back. His fate was sealed the very moment he was born and he would abandon it and his kin. His face still rageful his fist clenched even tighter but he knew... He knew that screaming like this wouldnt bring anyone back or turn back time. Its what he told himself all the time the only reason he still is holding together after a century-

"All I fucking want is to get rid of this curse this existance that we live. Never able to be trusted. Never able to be like one among humans. What I do is above all of us so I will do what I deem necesary to achieve our freedom"

-Freedom. A feeling forgoten by Lothaire and many more because of what they were when they had no choice but to be who they were born as. As his voice faded in the depths of halls within the dungeon Lothaire backed away from the containment and with his usual stoic voice went through his ruitine and announcements-

"The next operation shall begin in two weeks. Untill then you will be given food and drink of any kind that will be proven to be suitable for you. That is all for today"
Donnie
"I.. What the fuck?..." 

She stared in disbelief, watching Lothaire pour his emotions out into his words. Laika could understand his pain but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little bit bad for him... No.. She shouldn't. This is the same man who cut her open just to take a look inside her guts, move some organs around and throw her back into containment. No heartfelt or empathetic speech should convince her, what if he could be lying? He didn't seem like it though... Laika hovered in the water, her emotions conflicting with one another. She couldn't even get a chance to respond as she watched him switch tones immediately and begin to back away from the containment. 

"Maybe you should've killed yourself then or just *Found a different* Way to get your fucking revenge. Here he goes speaking of freedom, *OUr* Freedom my ass." 

Laika mumbled as she stared at the cracks that sloppily decorated the front of the containment. Unfortunately for her she said this a bit louder than her previous whispers,*

 "Yeah that's all for day? Yeah sure let me just sit here and rot and wait for you to rip out my contorted spine from my still kicking body and decorate that shit on your fucking walls. I hope you're really fucking proud of what you've done, because ME PERSONALLY, it looks like you have gotten absolutely NO WHERE on the freedom you seem to preach of."
Karen
"Do you wish to be broken? Do you wish to suffer and not have the pill? That would seem fine to me so I can get to know your pain limit"

-The words that were spoken by Laika were stirring his emotions with his composure barely holding up to the taunts. His face didnt show anything but what was happening wasnt even close to it. Lothaire felt his emotions clawing at him. Wanting to get out to reap out of his stomach just to be heard... But he musnt show them. This was unfamiliar. However Laika was wrong about everything. No one knows ho far he has gone. Knowing that going further holding up the coversation was useless and he would go nowhere. So Lothaire begun to do his ruitine. Something to distract himself from his emotions and current recklesness.-

- After a second and a deep breath Lothaire went to another desk in the room grabbing a notebook and a quil from it. It was time to write every observation down that has happened today. Every detail and action that Laikas body had done with the factor of stress included. He wished that there was an another way for this but he never found any. He focused now on drawing the organs of the siren that were unique to her and her kin. He compared her gills and lungs to ones of humans and other humanoids. Glancing over her body structure once in a while he corrected his drawings.-

-Now... Now what. He would have to think for a while what to do about Laika and her containment. Few ideas ran through Lothaires head whilst he was finishing his report on Laika and sirens. Building a bigger glass containment was out of the picture with his limited resources. Tying her with something in a body of water wouldnt work either as she would have a lot of time to work out how to get out. For now her will was too strong to place her in a nearby lake so what she had now must do. Taking the decision Lothaire put down the notebook and headed to the doors turing his head to Laika-

"If you will need any help or feel like your life fading call out for me. Hopefully I will be here to help you before anything bad happens"
Michelle
I swear imma write a response just gimme a while to think of stuff 😭 ]]
Donnie
Her face grimaced when she heard his response, it felt like an adult scolding a petty child. She tried to respond to that but she couldn't come up with anything good, all of them sounded like pathetic reasons to keep her alive. So she kept quiet. Laika folded her arms and sat at the bottom of the tank, her tail pressing up against the wall like an ironing board. Honestly; she truly wondered why he thought what he was doing was morally right. It didn't make any sense to her, she'd been hunted all her life as well. Does she hate humans? Of course, even more now after this silly encounter. But that didn't mean she would go out kidnapping subspecies and removing their organs to decorate them on the wall. This all felt like an unfortunate nightmare to her. It just wasn't right. "This is sick.." She murmured to herself as her finger traced around the bottom of the containment out of boredom. Thoughts ran through her head, it felt like she was having a little voice on her shoulder shout things at her. She frowned slightly. 

As she watched him travel over to his desk she raised an eyebrow. As creepy as it was, there was really nothing else for her to do, and she found Lothaires patterns of movement strange for a human. Her eyes then turned to the organs which decorated the wall, she felt sick. Her stomach felt like ripping itself out of her wound and dropping on to the floor to rot and die. How could he do all of this so calmly? Didn't it ever bother him?.. And what's up with the dragons who the hell just calmly lives with dragons. Laika snapped out of thought when she heard Lothaires voice again, to some point she despised hearing it. But who else was there to hear. Laika raised an eyebrow upon hearing his claim, "Uh huh... I'm sure of it." Yea the next time she felt her life fading at this point if another surgery was going to happen she'd rather let herself die. But living was nice. She hated this.

"However the next phase shouldnt be as invasive as this one. Or at least shouldnt be if you just stay calm and cooperate"

-Lothaire knew that asking Laika for cooperation and being calm after what he has done was pointless. She feared him despised him and she would take every chance given to kill him with her own hands or even repeat what he has done to her. He didnt blame her. He didint blame anyone he took in for what they wished upon him but he couldnt stop. It was a choice long time ago. A choice he didnt take for his dream and purpose that stuck to him like a curse.-

-However as he reminisced he stopped his quill from moving with ink dripping down onto the stone floor with rhythimic sound. Tap... Tap... Tap. His notebook turnedd into a familiar face his hand held a dagger with the blood dripping down from its blade. Tap... Tap... Tap. His face was stale like he wasnt even alive his breath stopped his eyes colour begun to fade away. One. Two. Three. Snap out of it SNAP OUT OF IT.-

-Breaking free from his own mind Lothaire took a deep breath and fell onto one knee dropping his notebook in the process. He remembered something he buried deep within himself something that molded him... Something that is still within this dungeon.After taking another breaths Lothaire picked up the Notebook and finished up the notes about sirens and Laika in particular. Being somewhat satisfied with his results Lothaire went to light a torch for Laika giving her some light to keep her sane at the same time blacking out the other test subjects that were on the wall-

"Have a good rest... If its even possible for you"

-He then left without any more words or warnings. Enought time has been spent in this room-
Michelle
Lothaires at the point of a breakdown goddayum ]]

HES THAT OLD??? MF AGES LIKE FINE WINE HOLY SHIT. ]]

I SWEAR ILL DO IT DW I HAVE A PARAGRAPH FINISHED I JUST NEED TO WRITE MROE ]]
Donnie
She threw a side glance at him, a stink eye maybe, or a mixture of either. Laika waved her hand dismissively and scoffed softly, "Yeah right.. Son of a bitch.." Her tail gently swayed forward and back in the clear water, it was almost like she was trying to draw something with the tip of her fins but had no canvas. Honestly speaking, if ever given the chance of freedom she could kill him at any moment. But there was something in her holding her back from doing so, he hurt her. For fuck's sake there's an ugly scar, a permanent memory, that was forcibly ripped and sewn onto her body. 

She put a finger to her mouth and scratched one of her canines, it was sharp. Over time her canines had grown sharp enough to chew through human skin and flesh in one bite, it was useful to her. For some reason it itched, everything around her itched. This place made *Her itch.* It was uncomfortable being there, how could he sit there? How could he *Live* Here? She'd go insane within two days of living here. Laika rested her head against the glass, her eyelids half closed as she spaced out staring into the abyss. 

If she was gonna be here for a few days or weeks maybe months. He could have her here for years... She might as well get used to it. Besides what does he want with her. "What a fucked up excuse for a living corpse..." Laika hissed softly under her breath as the fins on her ears treaded the water slowly. Laika snapped out of her trance and hateful train of thought when the lights blacked out, she raised an eyebrow as she watched Lothaire place a torch outside of her tank next to her. She narrowed her eyes at the torch and scooched away from it, there wasn't much space in the glass but she did her best. She hated fire, it hurt. Too much, for a little bit of flame derived from the sun it had too much power. She simply shook her head as Lothaire left. 

Was this gonna be the end of her? She couldn't tell at this point. All she could hope for is the strength to endure.

Naw i want my mom back (never knew her mother) ]]
John
***She wasn't even surprised by all of this... Her steps followed Lothaire deeper and deeper within the ruined building, seeing the containers filled with experiments.***

"Oooh... Now what is *All* Of this about!"
***She chuckled, having a gaze upon the ones near her.***

"You're a really interesting guy, you know...? Never saw anyone with the mindset to do this."
Donnie
It's been a while, maybe days, weeks, or perhaps just a couple of hours. She couldn't tell anyways, there seemed to be no clocks and even if there was one she couldn't read it. Laika sat at the bottom of the containment, practically spacing out at this point. She felt like a lamb in a butcher shop, just waiting to be cut open once more. The scar ached and burned, even though it was completely healed. Every now and then she still felt the knife cut through her stomach, a horrible feeling. 

She knocked at the thick glass that encased her. No tune came to mind that she could match the rhythm, so it was a rhythmless tune of pathetic, limp knocks. Her tail swayed slowly back and forth, it was a big containment but alas not big enough. It never was. She expected it though, it was much better than being shoved in a small container that barely allowed movement for breathing. 

She'd been spacing out for a while now, simply knocking at the glass wall. Unaware of who had returned and the guest he had brought with him.

***As she observares the containers, her eyes seemed to lock on a specific one. Approaching it, she tapped on the glass back, giggling.***
***You could see it was a humanoid figure, obviously a morphing siren breed.***

"Now who are *You!* Didn't expect to any of them to be awake!"

***She smiled with her teeth... Sharp, like blade.***

"So this is what is gonna happen to me too, hm~? Sounds exciting!"
***She stated to Lothaire.***
"Oh, not really... You wanted my eyes, yeah? My bad-"

***Her gaze shifted back to Laika.***
"And you look pretty! Pretty and nice, but I'd say we're the different and the same... And the same time."

[[ITS OKAY DAMN ILL WAIT FOR YOU-
Karen
"I suppose that might happen. Not sure if I will go as far for you as for her. She... She has suffered enough for now. Thats why im glad I managed to find you"

-Lothaire looked at Lorelei with sorrow in his eyes. None of his victims deserved this. He knew it. Suppose the victims knew it too. "Snap back Lothaire. You have a duty to fullfil." A voice in the back of his mind spoke. Something else inside of him always rejected it. Everything else accepted it and listened to it-

-"There is no running from the fate you already set for yourself"-

"*I know*"

-Lothaire spoke out loud without even realising it. Nothing he could do to stop himself. Day and day it was getting worse day and day he was questioning if his way was the true one. The correct one-
John
"Suffered? Glad? Mmm... I see."

***Her attention was fixated on the man standing besides her. Insecurity reflected on his eyes... She knew it. Nothing was done about it, besides smiling.***
***That smile seemed almost sewn on her face.***

***She approached him, waving two fingers over his face.***
"Earth to Lothaire? You seem a bit lost! Need help or will I need to try waking that woman up from the trance of tapping on the glass?"
Donnie
Her curiosity was piqued when she saw Loren enter in, Loren smiling at her made her feel... Weird. The weird feeling was envy, the envy of the other's freedom and perfect looks. Of course if Laika wasn't so naive she wouldn't be in this situation. Unconsciously she raised a hand to her own teeth, her once sharp teeth which have been dulled due to her constant grinding of teeth. It gave her *Something* To do at least. 

She sat up, pressing her hands against the glass as she stared at Loren. Of course, her curiosity died the moment she saw the stranger was in fact WITHOUT Lothaire and not against him. Laika was disgusted by it, her stomach twisted into knots as she backed away from a bit. "How fun.." She scoffed quietly as she sat back down at the bottom, now looking up at her tail fins. They were black as night, little white specks were decorated across it almost like stars. It was mesmerizing to watch as it waved back and forth slowly.
Michelle
Its hella short mb ]]
Karen
"Do as you wish. All I need you to do next is choose. Containment like this one or do you prefer the lake?"

-Lothaire asked. He hid his true emotions pretending as he was still zoned out. He was curious about how would the two sirens act. Both are murderes of other races both were deceived to come here and both tried to kill him in one way or another. Both to become a subject of his experimentations-

-Lothaire then tapped back on the glass with his knuckles. Everything seemed fine in her reaction but it was sure she has lost the concept of time. Perhaps he should let her go once in a while considering her nature-

"You will take a deep breath soon"

-In this statement Lothaire had no vile intentions but his tone and what he has done to Laika were sure to get twisted. Fear and horror. All he was and all he will be untill he is finished... Wonder what then-
John
"Hmm... I think a lake suits me best. More space!"

***She ended up giggling... She had no idea what happened here, but her fucked up mindset already said enough. She didn't do it because she liked it, it was revenge. All those men, idiotic men... It was karma biting them back, always.***

***She first eyed Laika, then Lothaire. Back at her... Then him... Back and forth.***

"What are your plans with her?"
Michelle
SORRY IVE BEEN BUSY ILL TRY TO GET A RESLONS E ]]
Donnie
She violently jerked her head back to Lothaire, immediately swimming away from the glass. Her face contorted to one of disgust, she then looked back to Loren. God she was horribly curious about the woman but she didn't seem to trust her quite. Well, who can she trust? Nobody at this point. What a fucking idiot. 

"Go back to where you came from you pathetic use of your mothers sperm ." She snapped back at Lothaires statement, it makes sense why she would hate him. Going after race?.. A bit far but- then again she's quite young.
Michelle
Its actually so bad but i have no motivation and im in class rn so ]]
Karen
"Thats not how humans reproduce"

-Lothaire smiled a little when he heard Laikas insult. A part of him would slander her for it but he still had to respond to and manage Lorelei. Well the "Deep breath" Was a time for Laika to rest and recover from her first operation. -

"Nothing as of now. Her body is far too weak to handle anything not even mentioning her psyche. As for you-"

-Lothaire turned to Lorelei with still faint image of a smile-

"Will probably be next. Nothing too invasive I suppose. I already got a lot from her"
John
***She had a smile that reflected kindness... Her eyes though, tempting stares.***

"That better be correct! Well, as long as you keep up wit my terms, I'll give you anything you wish. 
When will we start?"

***She sounded collected... Calm.***
Donnie
"Reproduction my ass retard." She scoffed under her breath as she sat down at the bottom of the tank, tapping at it once more. I mean what else is there for her to do?
Karen
"Probably tommorow at midday"

-Lothaire still had to finish a project that he begun before sending out to catch lorelei. It was something neither of them could see. No one could. This one was personal. Too personal with wailing of his ||~~redacted cus spoilers~~|| coming from the deepest parts of the dungeons. Barely hearable but the noise was always there. A noise he couldnt help but be disgusted by after all they have done-
John
"Okayyy so where shall I stay?"

She began to look around, a bit confuse sand conflicted with what would happen next. For sure she was curious about the procedure, but it was nothing to worry her of. She didn't plan of running away... Not yet.
Donnie
*She's sort of sitting around, there really isn't much for her to do other than listen to the conversation and silently judge and insult Lothaire. Maybe judge Lorelei a bit for even coming with Lothaire.*
Karen
"Wherever you wish. However you wouldnt want to be here at night. Things that can happen here are beyond what you want from me"

-That said Lothaire left the two mermaids alone heading for his experiments in the halls. They have to still be alive. This one was for his own twisted revenge-
John
"Hm... Noted. Well then, I'll see you later."

She gave away a tempted smile, having a gaze around the area. Hearing about the pond nearby, she decided to look for it. Eventually, she did find it though.
Karen
-This wasnt an usual day for Lothaire. Well not to the fullest extent. He had his glasses on with his bow on the operation table which was this time clean. The crystal essence was flowing everywhere. The weapons he found all those decades ago couldnt be just that. They were something more surely but he didnt know how to ignite them. As much as he knew them as much blood flew down them their essence was hidden to him much to his annoyance and frustration-

"All those years and I still cant find your true essence your true form. Do you even have it?"

-Lothaire seemed to asked the weapon yet... His question wasnt targeted at it. Rather it was towards Laika that stood in the doorway interrupting his research over it.-

"What is it this time? We have nothing planned as of yet"
Jennifer
[[okay hold on question- you typed laika, but she's in the tank LMAO
John
"Is that a way to ask me that you want to get to know me better, hm?"

She had her arms crossed, back leaning to the doorway. Her grin with sharpened teeth glew.

"I just wanted to see how my buddy here was doing! Or am I prohibited to do that?"
Karen
"Just the fact that you havent done that besides dropping bodies through the well. Thy could just throw them to the drakes as a snack you know? You leave no much use of them anyway"

-Lothaire spoke as he put the flying shards back together into the bow. He was taking his time not because he felt like it but because he had done the mistake of rushing the process. Lets just say that he spent the rest of the time on fixing himself from it-

"So what is that you want?"
John
"Hmmm... There's various things I like, you know? That I want... But that's unimportant."

Her eyes fixated on Lothaire, fixing his bow with that remaining, sewed-on grin.

"When are we ever going to do the procedure? Do you even have anything prepared for me?"
Karen
"A couple of things. Id say that its none of your concern but this time it is dont thy think?"

-Lothaire asked rhethorically while he put away the bow. Its string has disappeared as soon as it left Lothaires hands with a small amount of glow. He then turned to the siren fully on his chair waiting for what she wants-
John
"I wouldn't call it concern... Excitement, perhaps. You take me into your lair, say there are.. Plans you wish to do with me, and nothing yet has been shown.
What is it that you want from me, hm? Is it really for science, or are you just craving a friend so badly?"
Karen
"If I wanted to do what you imply I wouldve done that long time ago. Never found a real craving for physical relief"

-No matter how many jokes could be made there he just never thought of it. There was no point to him of getting a in his words "Mate" As from his point it was for pleasure alone and nothing past that. Something which he wouldnt indulge in as it was a pointless motive-

"As for you I wanted to layer the operations but it mostly is an external inspection and removal"
John
"...PFFT- HAHAHAH! You're so silly! I know that, idiot~"

She walked over to him, flicking his chin up with her finger.

"You're thinking about that, I didn't even state anything related to it. Well, maybe once or twice, but that was long ago!
I was asking about surgeries. I'm excited for that."
Karen
"You are excited about... Being hurt? What?"

-Lothaire was trurly shocked not even acknowledging that he just has been flicked like a child. For the other siren she was more than broken right now. She was dead not in body but in mind. Already given up on everythi but here Lorelei stood excited about it?-
John
"Yeah! Is that so bad?"
Jennifer
[[ girl is literally just smiley

[[look its by purpose

[[GAMKE TRUST THE PROCRESS.
Karen
"Its... Strange to say the least but at least you wont squirm around the table"

-Lothaire stood up from the chair and begun to clear it up for the operation. It was clean and untouched like nothing has ever happened on it like it was freshly made. Yet we all know what it going to happen next with a medical bag in Lothaires hands. At first he reached down for the hooks but after a second of thought he let them go. There was no need of them for these procedures and especially with Lorelei. She wont resist but nonetheless he cant let his guard down fully. Something was off about her even without mentioning the excitement over being ripped apart by his tools and remade like a puppet that needs replacements-

-However this was a situation like no other for him with so many information so many possibilities. He was approaching his goal his prototype was near its completion. Hope this pushes it further Hope that he will be relieved of this burden. Countless nights and days he spent on this one specimen so much expectation. It was now or never as Lothaire invited Lorelei to the table for the "Operation"-
Jennifer
[[ dude you wanna know the truth? The enter button got hit too early and you read it immediately that I COULDNT EVEN EDIT THE MESSAGE.
John
"Why would I? I can be collected, I can be calm!"

For a few seconds, her smiling face flawed and flashed. Tears. The face of someone in need of help. Even if it seemed like a quick vision, it was just an illusion. For a woman, so excited to suffer, be consensual about being bruised.
What in thhe actual fuck is wrong with her.

She sat down on the operation table, eyes always tender with that wide grin.

"Say, what shall we do first?"
Jennifer
[[you saw it already so it was literally too late
Karen
"Its better for thy to not know just yet seeing your composure"

-Ah the split second of fear. No matter how strong one may be to Lothaire they always fall. Many worrios with supposedly unshakeable spirits cried and weeped for him to stop once he begun. No one escapes from these emotions not in the face of the unknown -

"For now remains a question. Do you wish to be drugged or asleep?"
John
"Oh please, just keep me awake... No anesthesia, I want to live it fully."

As macabre as it sounded, she seemed to enjoy the thought of pain, being conscious during a surgery... 
She wouldn't cry, she wouldn't scream. The worst that could happen is for her to bite her tongue.
Karen
"Im afraid that I cannot allow that to happen. You will hurt yourself too much and interrupt. Drugged it is then"

 -Lothaire then reached under the operating table and picked up a small box with a couple of white pills inside. He was on a shortage but he could just make them later even with the help of Lorelei if she wanted to be a part of this so much-

"Ill give you two of those. They are meant to disable your pain but the side effect is dullying of all senses so dont Thy be scared. You are in "Good" Hands... As Ironic as it is"
John
"Awn, no fun...~ But I'll do as you say then, better than nothing."

She eyed the pills he grabbed, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Huh— I thought it was with syringes? You have some odd tastes for god hands, huh!"
Karen
"Syringes are wasteful and require me to make new ones every injection. I have no time for that"

-Or real care to use syringes. However Lothaire held something hidden as the possibility of a syringe was there as a failsafe during the operation of... Aggresive patients. However if injected in a panic it may put the victim into apernament coma to which he hasnt found a solution to.-

"Now haul yourself onto the table if you are so eager. We already wasted too much of the time we have for this.-
Jennifer
[[who tf was that person-
John
"Awn I can't even have the full experience."

She then laid down on the table, sighing with a smile on her face. It seemed to dissemble for a bit, yet returned within seconds. What was up with her? Did she want to do this or was the situation too tense for her?

"Whenever you're ready!"
Karen
-"Her emotions have overcame her again" It seemed to Lothaire as he saw her getting ready. Was it a confilct inside her that is making her hesitant? If yes then about what? Killing him or letting him do the operation? Facing the pain and the horror herself against the comfort of being asleep while that happens? He did not know and he wished not to know. He wihed to be blind to all of their emotions caused by him but he couldnt. Such a fate he chose-

-Now Lothaire headed to her with few medical instruments and utensils by his side and his glasses with one of the glass darkened to the lamp placed on the other side of the table. He was ready and so "Was" She so without further ado he took a strange circular instrument and held it against the sirens eye clearly waiting for something-

"The pill if you could. Cant really afford you squirming around and neither can you"
John
She took a deep breath in, letting a smile build across her cheeks. Whether she tried to toughen up or not, she was invested to go through the pain.

"Alright." She took the pill and consumed it, slowly her body felt sleepy, yet her eyes were wide open.
"I feel... Really drugged... Hah..."
Karen
"Good"

-And then lothaire pressed the contraption onto Laikas face with a massive yet gentle force. The only sound in the very second it was made by two blades inside the machinery that cut the nerver connecting Loreleis eyeball to the socket. Its painless to her or at least he hoped that it was when he took it. Lothaire placed the contraption on the table as he searched for a jar to preserve it and when he found it he sighed as he couldnt give Lorelei her eyesight yet. She would die from exhaustion which would be less than desirable for both of them and the other siren... What was her name again? Ah. Laika. Would fight even harder against him. He felt the tension between the two but Lothaire knew that this act would rise above the barrier of hate. In his thoughts he finally found a jar suitable enough for the eye and after he has placed it in Lothaire was ready for the next part. The fangs-

"You should only feel some pressure when I do it"
John
Through the whole process she barely felt anything, it was all a slightly pokey operation for her. Somehow, she was smiling... Just a simple game of knives and skin done with two people.
At that verge, Lorelei was almost falling asleep.

"Do anything you wanttt... I'm feeling greattt...~" She giggled, opening her mouth for the next step. 
Her mouth was full of sharpened teeth, the fangs were larger and bigger than the others.
Karen
"Thats great but please keep your mouth still. I dont want to lose a finger in there"

-Lothaire said while grabbing Loreleis face by the jaw to keep it in place just in case she found something funny and begun to laugh. She was so defensless so easy to harm yet she still trusted him. Why? She had no reason to from all of his perspectives. He himself wouldnt trust a person like that so why would she? Nevermind. Lothaire cleard his head from the thoughts and the doubt. They werent needed here. Lothaire then held one of the top fangs in his hand and ripped it out in one clean move and did the same for the other and without hesistation in his soul and mind stuffed the holes left with gauze. Everything should be done now and next step is the recovery-

"Say you want an eyepatch for now or you want your eye to be sown shut?"
John
She slightly flinched with the fang removed, letting a small 'ow' out after the procedure was done. She sighed, feeling the gauze with her tongue.

"This shit's itchy as hell... Also, you don't need to pamper me with all this... Stuff in my mouth, or sewing my eyes. Soon enough I'll be fineee!"

...How would someone who just had their theeth and eye removed, be okay. Why was she so calm and relaxed? Did she go under these conditions before? Is she just *That* Messed up in the head?
Karen
"If I were to remove the dulling effect of the pill you putting a single word together would be a miracle. So you better appreciate this"

-Without a response from Lorelei Lothaire went to the opposite side of the room taking few strips of leather. Eyepatch it was from him considering that if he were to sew Loreleis eye shut removing the stitches on the recovery would prove to be a mild inconvinience.-

-The creation of the eyepatch didnt take him long as he treated it like he was sewing her together. For him he was. HE was trying to sew her essence together something that he felt was too elusive to hold onto something that could only be seen for seconds...-

"Now before I try anything else with thy body you will recover. I dont want to hear any complaints unless youve got a deathwish. These pillss.. They use your own body to keep you alive to keep you on the edge. How much you think will it take for you to stop being on it?"
John
"Please, I'm not in agony! You seem to be so bossy with the fact I'll react like this or that... You're annoying me already!"

She sighed, standing up from the table. Somehow, she seemed to walk finely, going to Lothaire as if she saw him. What was that all about?

"You don't know me, sweetheart! If you give me medicine, now *That* Will kill me from overdose!"
She began to remove the gauze from her teeth gaps, it seemed like... Tiny, white points grew inside? Was she healing?!

Her arms opened up. "I'm a siren, dear, remember! I heal fast, my eyes and teeth will be soon back like nothing ever happened! What would hurt me with late replacement growth would probably be my scales... I don't know."
Karen
"Suppose we will see this theory in place once you recover from this one. Anything else you might want from me?"

-Lothaire asked finishing up the shaoe of the eyepatch. What was left for him to do was a quite selfish asthetic addition. Without a word he left the room only to come back later with a eerie red paint with a paintbrush dipped in it. Might it be blood?-

"Also dont tell me you wanted as much as to hug me 'fore I left."

-Lothaire then painted a simple eye symbol and gave the creation to the siren with paint dripping down the leather staining it like tears. Something for her "Regeneration" To kick in. Something worth to remember and study further. Was she the only one able to do that? What was the limit? The requirements? So many questions so many operations to perform.-
John
"Uhh... I appreciate some food, you know?" 
She said, crossing her arms. 

Even if she saw nothing... She could still spot things around. Lothaire leaving the room, coming back, with an item. "Wow, pretty rude to walk away from a conversation, huh?" She would've rolled her eyes, if she had them back. Yet she did smirk.

"Oh that'd a gift for me? Damn, I never got anything as nice as this! Maybe gold and dimaonds, but what to do." She was being sarcastic.
Karen
"You are unbelievable you know that?"

-Lothaire sighed while he put the eyepatch on the table. Now came the time to copy it and fortunetly it only took a couple of minutes for him.-

"Which eye would you like to regain first?"

-He asked as he came closer to her covering her eyeholes with the eyepatches. She looked beautiful even in this maimed state even as blood poured down on her. He couldnt feel anything yet but who knows? She is the first one to even understand him. At least pretend to.-
John
"I'm hungry, come onnn!"

She giggled, nothing he was approaching her. As soon as he placed the eyepatches on her, she felt the blood streaming down her face. 
Her fingers swiped the drops, as she finished... It was noticeable his hand near her face... She grabbed it. 

"..Your hand, right-?"
She asked, not sure if it was someone else near her. Of course it was obvious, yet she wished to confirm.
Karen
"Would you wish it to be someone elses?"

-Lothaire asked her. Yet... The voice was too close than earlier. He leaned over to her clearing up the remaining paint on her face as he answered. If Lorelei was having fun with teasing him why shouldnt he as well?-

"As for the food" -As he spoke Lothaire moved away and took Loreleis hand from his- "Its in the same place as always for thy. Unless you need help finding it"
John
"Hm... No, not really."

She remained quite still, following his hand as he cleaned the pain from her face. Without her eyes, it was way more difficult to determine what was she feeling... Was she happy? Perhaps angry? Still, she had a smile.

"Right. I want you to help me with that."
Payback possibly, for removing her vision source... Temporarily?
Karen
"Want or need?"

-Not that it mattered to him. Lorelei as always was a strange case to him. Even at her most defenseless point even if she could die without seeing it coming (badum tsss) she put her trust into him even with formalities like now feeding. That he doesnt poison her that he doesnt kill her as he wishes."What is in-

"Your mind oh dear one"

-Lothaire finished outloud without even realising it-
John
"Want. It's not an obligation, so therefore, want."

She would feel chills occasionally with his words and movements, since now, her vision was gone... Temporarily, at least. She chuckled as he spoke, perhaps he didn't notice.

"What was that? What do I have on my mind right now?"
Karen
"I suppose. The loneliness doesnt help with keeping my mouth shut now does it"

-An Idea came to Lothaires mind as the occasion couldnt have been better than ever. If she was there to stay here with him in his state his pets had to accept her. Although they were kept on a "Leash" Which was a huge overstatement as drakes were commanded to stay put and not move-

"Before anything... You will have to be accepted by them. Ill be with you but. Heh. You will have to face them alone."

-Lothaire said as he took Laikas hand into his and led her outside the laboratory in the dungeons onto the cave outside where the drakes resided-

"They will harm you at the slightest notice of fear and wont ever accept you again. Better prepare thyself siren"
John
"I don't know, you do you, shy guy."

Her mind was in a state of confusion as he spoke. 'Them?' Who's them? She let herself be guided.

"I— Them? Who the fuck is them?! How can I see a THREAT is my EYES are GONE."
*She did have a point.*

While she kept on walking, there was no fear in her words... Just a seemingly maddish-confusion aura. Could be said that removing her vision made an advantage for her to not demonstrate fear, *Because she couldn't even see the appearance of the 'enemy'-*
Karen
"Oh just the dragons. Youve met them but now... Now they have to accept you"

-A slight hint of amusement could be heard in Lothaires voice knowing well that even if she is rejected she is safe as long as she is with him. Something of a failsafe to keep her away from wandering.-
Carl
-A massive weight shook the cave as the drake landed. Its wings sounded like stones cracking and glass falling. Its sloppiness wasnt a weakness however being in its own teritoryand its element It was curious yet unsure of what it should do seeing its master alongside the other tiny creature. Its instincts told it to kill yet it knew it couldnt with his master near. It was a test then...-
Jane
-A massive weight shook the cave as the drake landed. Its wings were quiet and elegant like a beachside breeze. Make no mistake however as this elegance would slash you apart if asked to. It was calm and distant yet unsure of what it should do seeing its master alongside the other tiny creature. Its instincts told it to kill yet it knew it couldnt with his master near. It was a test then...-
John
If she still had her eyes, they would've definteley widened up in shock... She didn't have a clue of what those creatures were, yet she felt the omninous, large presence of two entities.

"...What are those-?"

She extended both her hands, trying to see if they approached. She didn't seem worried, rather just confused. She usually was good with animals, but... *Dragons?*
Karen
"Oh these are just my pets. Im... Not from here. In our land you would see them everywhere and even worshipped"

-He was from the dragon kingdom of Kahlo of course from the royal family of Ivildus that had a long history with taming those who rule the skies. To many they were rampaging beasts that burnt down villages and cities hoarding gold and treasures. Not for them however. For Ivildus family they were allies in times of need and precious "Friends" If you could call them like that-

"Thats why you cant show any fear here my little siren. They want to know if they can respect you"
John
"...The species, I could recognize they are yours. Possible, most likely, for sure."

Her hands slowly, yet sternly, reached upon the two dragons. She didn't seem that shocked once she recognized what they were after the explanation. Her palms started to run side to side, up and down on their scales, almost as if she was trying to determine their pattern.

"...Also, I think I'm anything *But* Little."
Karen
"To them... We both are and so our lifes will be when they grow up"

-Despite their size despite their outside appearance they still were juvenile. Still had room to grow and one day "Eclipse the sun" Or so their handlers before had said back in the royalty days-

-Nonetheles the dragons seemed to accept Laika and even like... Her. Unusual to be sure but not all that suprising to Lothaire. HE wouldnt bring her to them if he wasnt sure.-

"Are you going to take rest now not so little siren?"
John
"Yeah, but what about *Me* To *You?"

After all the time, she sighed, moving her hands away from the dragons.

"I'm hungry, not tired. I told you that. I want my food, I'd like specifically seaweed, crispy, fish eggs as well is a good option."
Karen
"As if you wanted anything else"

-Lothaire sighed and rolled his eyes with dissatisfaction. The same thing as always. Shortly after he waved the drakes away and headed down to the dungeons again to prepare the food for the siren.-

"Crispy fucking fish eggs..."
John
"Come on, I'm not bad! Am I?"
Before he left, she laid a hand over his shoulder with a grin.

"Oh, by the way! *Thank you for everything~*" 

The way she said those words... They seemed to ring inside Lothaire's ears, but it wasn't one to be classified as annoying or irritating, more as soothing and almost hypnotizing. 
As she let go, she knew that her services were done.
Maybe another day they'll meet.
