So it had been new to Rumer as well. This was somewhat reassuring, to know that she hadn't been at risk during their first training sessions. Of course, it also meant that not even Rumer knew the full extent of her abilities, or what might unlock them. Fear and rage seemed to be the key, something that Norris was very, very good at capitalizing on.
And speak of the mustachioed devil himself, Nathaira answered Rumer's next question with a blank expression. "Yess, I will." she answered. She had to tell Norris everything, from her hesitance on the beach to her quick learning with swimming, to flaying a living being with just a glance. She knew why Rumer had asked her this, and sadly her fears were valid. Norris would make her do this again. He would make her do it until it was second nature. It was necessary for her... progression.
The snake woman raised an eyebrow at Rumer's disbelief that she was considering eating the creature. An expression that silently asked do you have a better idea? She did not need to speak again, though, for Rumer seemed to gather her courage and delivered an expertly cut piece of orcflesh.
It smelled horrible, but he fire helped some. Nathaira's own stomach did not relish what they needed to do, and she tried not to think about what it would taste like given the smell. "Better cook it well," she said, an attempt at levity.
She sat, watched the meat cook and turn a slightly more appetizing color. She looked at Rumer, a small, frail girl who had shown incredible power overnight. Who had survived, as they all had, against all odds.
"You are remarkable," she said, matter-of-factly.
