Amethyst actually looked mildly disappointed by Ran's suggestion. "That's it? Shame, I was expecting something a bit more exciting, but I suppose that'll do." she said with a shrug knowing that she would not easily lose a test of endurance like this. Her martial arts training had involved resisting far worse than this, and she had gained a certain conscious control of her body that few could match. And, worst comes to worst, she always had essence to burn.<br/><br/>"So, before we start this little contest, what are the stakes?" she asked, her eyes glinting. "After all, it'll be more interesting if there is something on the line, wouldn't you say?" she said with an almost feral grin. In fact, upon closer examination, one might notice that Amethyst actually had fangs, her canines sharp and long, a reflection of her mildly demonic nature.
