Arokleth gasped in mock disbelief, doing her best to look hurt by Joey's words. "But I thought we were friends!" she exclaimed, before her eerie smile returned. "Earlier you said you couldn't live with yourself knowing you left an innocent girl out here to die, and now you're threatening to execute that very girl yourself, after she has offered you nothing but assistance." She stepped forward and gripped her left hand, still not bothered by the gun even though it was pointed directly at her. "Sometimes betrayal can hurt more than physical injury..." with a powerful wrenching motion, she tore off her left hand and tossed it on the ground in front of her. In seconds, the hand morphed into a small, spider or crab-like creature as the original began to reform. The multi-legged creature hissed disdainfully at Joey and scuttled up Arokleth's dress, chittering slightly as it made itself at home in her hair, looking much like a grotesque, living hat. "Why do you want to hurt me now, after being so accommodating a few minutes ago?" she asked, her smile widening even though her voice sounded rather sad.
