However, you are still new to the Village and have yet to find the limits of your powers. That, and you've been quite the rebellious child today.">「神泉君、そんな積りはありえせん。が、貴方はまだ新人であり、能力の加減まだ知らぬあろう。それに、今日は可成り反抗な子にありんした。」</acronym>Nenene said when she caught up to Seth. It was definitely difficult to talk to him sometimes, but at least nothing was being lost in translation from her speaking English. If she had to be honest with him though, he likely wouldn't last long at the Village with his behavior. The older woman simply hoped that his attitude wouldn't get him in too much trouble for healing to fix.<br/><br/>Seth, on the other hand, ignored Nenene's presence as he rifled through boxes of screws and various other hardware. He brought out his phone to scribble a few part numbers down, then continued perusing the inventory across the aisle.<acronym title="Then let me do myself in, if that's what you think'll happen.">「じゃあ自爆させや、アンタがそう思うなら別にええやろ？」</acronym>Seth replied before noting a couple more numbers and gesturing for the Elder to follow him, leading the short woman into the lumber area.<br/><br/>When he turned his back to her, Seth felt a small hand grip his arm and sudden exhaustion strike him. Seth's knees buckled and gave out, an intense headache wracked his brain, and he could barely lift his arms or croak out a grunt of surprise. Nenene stood over his now crippled form, a murderous look in her eyes, the obsidian irises seeming to burn with frustration. Her grip was frightening powerful for such a small girl, and as the life drained from the Athena Blessed and his muscle mass dropped, the force in her tiny hand increased exponentially. A few moments later Nenene blinked rapidly and her hold on Seth's arm eased almost completely. Nenene immediately started apologizing to the poor boy in her charge, returning his stolen energy in its entirety. The moment that Seth was healed he backed away several feet and put his hand on his gun, tempted to unholster the weapon.<br/><br/><br/>The consideration from earlier had all but consumed Seth's mind, especially now that he understood some of the Elder's power. A Hades Blessed, one of the big three, and a leader selected by the gods themselves. His mind flashed back to the fiasco earlier in Akira's room, then onto how suspicious Nenene had seemed in regards to the incident. And now that he was alone with her in public, she could kill him at a moment's notice. All she had to do was grab him again and he would be powerless against her; she was trying to lure him into letting his guard down by healing him. But if he pulled his gun on a defenseless girl, and especially if he shot, that would only get him arrested. No matter what he did, it was a win for the enemy before him.<br/><br/>Seth considered pulling out his phone once more, this time hoping to call someone, but he realized that plan would fail too. Of the handful of people who he had the numbers of, none of them would be very likely to believe him even if he called in a panic. Trying to get in contact with the others through social media wasn't an option either, since they were likely all busy right now. And even if he could get someone to believe him, not many of the Blessed seemed to have vehicles of their own, and walking to town was well over half an hour. No matter what, they would be too late to help him unless they were already in town.<br/><br/>Seth was absolutely fucked, and the clock was ticking in his head, louder and louder with each second that passed.<br/><br/>Could he call one of the Elders? Seth laughed internally at the thought. Nenene had been a trusted student for years before she left; there was no way anybody would think she had turned on the Village. They'd probably just tell Seth to stop being an ass to her or something.<br/><br/><acronym title="Don't move a fucking inch...">「一歩動くなキサマ。」</acronym>He growled, his fingers twitching near his gun, indicating that he'd pull and fire if she made any sudden movements.
