It was...a win of sorts for Natacia. Which is to say that her friend was still alive, although for how long? And would she survive herself? There were several nervewracking moments where she struggled with a decision: does she activate the strength spell and try to break free? In the end she can't bring herself to do it....one misstep and Airi would be dead for certain.<br/><br/>At least she could focus on her own situation for the moment once Airi is saved. Natacia flinched a little bit as the brutal blub is dragged along her bare skin, lifting her chin at the end and reminding her exactly who held the power right now. Maybe there will be an opening for her to escape, some distraction...for now though she'll have to endure whatever the feathered woman planned for her. "I'm not afraid. Do what you will." It wasn't entirely true, she was a bit scared...but at least for the moment all Natacia had to worry about was herself...<br/>
