Both women stopped what they were doing to listen to the random story, and Hegga gulped, then began to squirm.
"Fucking... No, fuck you, fuck this, fuck it all, let me go!" Sure, she'd regenerate, but who would ever want that!? "Let me go! Kina, keep your new dog away from me!"
Kina blinked, then laughed. "He's not mine, I'm just gonna help him kill himself unless he can find reason to stay alive," the woman purred, then drove her knees downward. "Feng, do you want to come over here? I have a very good plan, thanks to you."
"No no no no no no!" Hegga shrieked as she kicked her legs and flailed her arms fruitlessly "Fuck you Kina! I knew you were low but not torture low!" She breathed in deep despite the weight on her back. "Get off, you cunt!"
"Language." Kina sighed and shook her head. Her expression softened. "I wouldn't torture you, Hegga, but I can ask Feng to tell more stories."
"Damnit, what do you want, Kina!?"
Kina's expression finally fell from its near-constant smile. "I want to know why you're here after being gone for so long, and why you're dressed as one of our enemies." Her tone turned to ice. "Why would you betray us?"
"The other option was death! They made me watch them kill my partner when he said he'd never join them! They make me watch when they do experiments on captives to make sure I know they'll do the same to me if I go against them! I already took a risk lying about you two being dead!" Her voice choked as she spoke rapidly. "I made a promise I wouldn't die, Kina! I can't! I can't!"
The Asian's expression softened, but she pressed her knees more firmly against Hegga's arms. "The Council would have had you killed for that, even if I wanted to spare you. Be glad we serve another now." Voice cold despite her expression, she shoved harder again on her knees.
"Nn!"
"I don't know how informed they keep you, but her name is Lady Jade, and she is merciful. If you ask nicely, I can send you to her. You can beg your case. I will testify in your favor because I am her second intelligence officer. She will likely pardon you, and you can join Faust in earning back the trust of the rest of us."
Below her, Hegga shook. "I can't, ok? I can't. They'll find me. Faust could have walked in any time and taken your seer. Anyone can infiltrate HQ!"
"That was under Council rule. Jade's rule is much more secure. Just say it and you will be saved from the Unifiers."
"I can't! I can't!" Hegga began to squirm again. "They'll kill me! They'll kill me!" Her shrieks grew shrill. "They'll KILL me, and they'll only do it after they torture me!" Her voice broke, and she began to cry ugly blubbering tears.
Whack!
Kina's strike to the back of Hegga's head was precise and stopped the blubbering tears instantly and put the larger woman to 'sleep'.
After a few moments, Kina finally looked toward Feng. "Sorry, that was rather ugly." Her usual smile returned, as though nothing strange happened.
"Fucking... No, fuck you, fuck this, fuck it all, let me go!" Sure, she'd regenerate, but who would ever want that!? "Let me go! Kina, keep your new dog away from me!"
