Deathbird vs. Xuan Lee

Deathbird would finish with the left pinky toe before saying, "And we can't forget the right foot." And from there, she repeated her licking, sucking, and biting on each toe until the pinky toe of that right foot. "Have you had enough or do you wish for more?"

Xuan was in shambles.She shook in both pain and fear of what (if anything) was going to happen next.Still,this did teach her: She doesn't have to endure this,if she'd win.That was burned into her memory.Succession was what kept this torture away. "Deathbird...Please,t-that's enough.I...." Tears rolled down her cheeks.Some in pain,some in joy,some in memory and rememberance... "No more"

After biting the last toe, Deathbird would stop and come over to Xuan. She kneeled next to her and said, "Are you sure, Xuan? I must be certain that you have learned enough so I can stop."

"I've learned,I've learned!" Xuan cried out.No matter how much she tried,the ropes were mot budging.Deathbird had complete power to do as she pleased.Xuan hadn't realized just how much power she had given away.Though,if her hands were free....Her ankles were still bounded.

Hearing that, Deathbird would wipe away Xuan's tears and said, "Okay then, don't cry anymore. Here I'll get you out." She would put the objects away before startin to untie Xuan's wrists and ankles. "How are you feeling?"

Xuan immeadeatley put her self on her hands and knees before Deathbird.She was holding back tears,as Deathbird asked her to. "Miss.t-thank you.I won't forget this punishment." It seems that Xuan was starting to slip into the past,and saw the veteran as someone who was teahing her.

"Umm, you're welcome," said Deathbird feeling unsure what to feel about this. Since one feeling was being sorry for her friend, she would say, "Please wait here, Xuan, I'll be right back." She would run off to the locker room before returning a few seconds later with an ice pack, some lotion, and a towel.

Kneeling to Xuan, Deathbird would say, "Xuan, I don't want you to be down in the dumps because of failure. Back when I was little, my father told me once that it is not in success when a true character is revealed...but in failure. Your true character has shown me that even though you may be mischievous, you are a very good person and I'm glad to have you as a friend. Please, accept my help to make you feel better." She offered the ice pack to her friend to see if she'll accept it.

When Deathbird said to wait there,Xuan did.She waited on her hands and knees,still looking at the ground unti her friend came back.She looked up and saw the three items. "Um....D--" The thief shushed and listened to Deathbird's wise words.Then,she called her....A friend.Her eyes teared up,and she could smile in happiness.She took the ice pack,trying to make a good spot on where to place it. "Thank you,Deathbird..."

"My pleasure," said Deathbird with a smile as Xuan took the ice pack. She would even add a friendly hug to help the thief feel better after all that torture.

Xuan applied the ice pack lightly on her soles.This wouldn't have happened back home.She put her head on Deathbird's shoulder when she got hugged.

--Mmm....W-What happened? Where did everyone go,Xuan? And...Why are you crying? What the hell did I miss?!
--WHAT?! You were sleeping? You aren't the brightest,are you?--

Xuan simply smiled,while fighting inwardly.
