Akuma looks back at Sam now and smirks.
"So. Get up."
Akuma looks back at Sam now and smirks.
"So. Get up."
Sam slowly gets up, grimacing slightly, looking at Akuma, "Is that the best you can do?" She asks, grinning slightly.
"No. I just don't want to kill you." Akuma snickers.
She walks over to the girl and examines the scrapes and welts on her with a look of pleasure on her face. "And really, that's what I wanted to test. See how well marks show up on you."
Sam rolls her eyes, "Pretty easily, if I might add." She places her hand on her hip, glaring at the other woman, "You don't have to throw me around like a bag of feathers to find that out."
Akuma chortles. "Come now. You enjoyed it and so did I."
Sam shrugs, "I know." She stays silent, she wasn't going to add that the one pain she hated was pain from a head wound. It always muddled her thoughts and it was always more insistant than any other pain. She supposed she'd get used to it.
Akuma stares down Sam, considering.
"Hey. Idea. If I, knowing that you actually like physical pain, make a deal with you to where in exchange for pain you listen to anything I have to say, would you take that deal?" she asks.
"Sure." Sam mumrurs, " Why not? "
Akuma giggles. "Really? That easy?"
Sam nids, "I'll listen either way. Everyone deserves to be heard."
Akuma smirks. "That's not what I meant. . . I meant you'll obey me. But either way you agreed, not knowing what was really meant - so now I own you."
Sam places her hands on her hips, laughing softly, “Oh, you weren’t clear enough darling, I said I’ll listen, hear what you have to say, never that I’ll actually do it. You have to be clear when making a deal.”
Akuma tilts her head. "I was clear. You should have known."
Sam shrugs, “No, you just said I have to listen. You never said listen and obey or whatever. The direct definition from the dictionary of the word listen is to give one's attention to a sound. Or something like that. So. . . You know. . .” She shrugs again.
Akuma sighs. "You're a fucking smartass, aren't you?"
“Yup.” Sam laughs, “Deals are very specific to word choice, Akuma.”
Akuma's lips pull back into a snarl. "I'll have my way."
“Look, if you want me to listen to you, just try being a little nicer to me and try asking instead of demanding. I may like pain, but that does not mean I like someone being rude to me and disrespecting me.”
