Laelia smiled at Aya, glad to see some cooperation from her.<br/><br/>"Aya... a nice name. Well, I will be gentle with searching you - no need to do you any injuries, right? I'll be careful with your feathers, don't you worry."<br/><br/>Leading her into the cell, she smiled, guiding the tengu until she was a couple of feet away from the wall. She made sure the door was locked - indeed, they were<em>both</em>locked in, the guard outside possessing the key. If Aya wanted to attack her "guide", it looked like the best chance.<br/><br/>"Okay, what I want you to do for me, just for now, is to spread your legs a bit, shoulder-width say? Then lean forward and put your hands flat on the wall. After that, spread your wings out wide, and I'll begin the stripping and searching."<br/><br/>As she spoke, she dipped one hand into the mild acid, letting it coat her fingertips.
