Cody squirmed slightly, his want to get away battling with his desire to let the Magi take him, now. It was what he had wanted since the man first brought him pain. He bit his lip and growled, "I hate you! Damn it, I hate-" His fingers clenched as he felt Uriah's hand against him moving. He cried out when Uriah's grip tightened, tears of pleasure slipping from his eyes. He gasped softly with each brush of Uriah's fingers against him, shivering slightly as he heard the purr in his ear.<br/><br/>At the mention of pain, his body reacted, betraying what he wanted even more, his eyes shutting as Uriah pressed closer to him, making him whine and inhale sharply. He turned his face away from Uriah nuzzling his neck, crying out softly as he was stroked more, Uriah's lips on his ear. He attempted to squirm away again, only to moan softly as the hand around him tightened.<br/><br/>He had to catch his breath for a few moments before weakly whispering,<br/><br/>"....D-dammit......d-don't.......please.....don't.....stop...." His fingernails dug into his palms as he finally gave in, for the first time in the months since Uriah had begun using him as his toy.<br/><br/>"G-give me the pain....and the pleasure...please...I'll do anything..."

The sound of Tristan's footsteps pounded in her ears, making her cover them, whimpering. She could hear the voices of different Magi, of different people, but couldn't pinpoint them. They seemed to be everywhere and far away at the same time.<br/><br/>She shook her head and tried to differentiate between the voices, which only made the noises louder. She whined softly as she covered her ears again, glad she could hear again but not glad it was so loud. It was as if she could hear what people were saying to each other, but also what they were thinking...<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF80"><span style="font-style: italic">Where are Mkha, Rishn, and Lvet? They were supposed to switch guard stations with us, weren't they?</span></span><br/><br/>Winoa figured the thoughts she had heard were discussing the Drones Tristan had taken down. So quietly, she whispered to him, "Tristan...more Drones are coming soon....I don't know how....I know, but....they're coming...probably from behind us..."
