We need to talk. Now.

[Blackarachnia dodges, but only barely. She quickly regains her balance and jumps at him, ready to sink her fangs into whatever bit of flesh she can.]

[He's not as quick as she is and he knows it, so he moves to block instead of dodge. Probably not the best idea, as it leaves her an opening to bite his forearm. The second he feels those fangs hit home, he panics. The memories attached to this act, the fact that she could kill him if she chose to...it's too much; they overwhelm him completely, leaving him unable to fight back before the poison even has a chance to paralyze him.

She's close enough that she can probably feel his heart pounding.]

[She wouldn't do that. She's not sure she could ever bring herself to kill someone with her poison again. She's changed too much now.

She only gives him enough to slow him, not even paralyze him. She looks sadly at him after pulling her fangs free from his arm.]

I'm sorry...but I can't go.

[And with that she turns to leave.]

[He makes the effort to go after her, but the poison is sucking the strength right out of him and he just can't get his legs to move. He sinks to his knees, powerless to stop her. But he has to give it one more try.]

Blackarachnia...don't do this.

[She stops and looks back at him.]

Why? If I let you arrest me I'll just end up sitting in prison for months unless I kill myself just to get out. Like slag I'm going to do that.

[Slag, now his arm is going numb. But she's listening, at least...maybe the situation can still be salvaged if he thinks quickly.]

It doesn't have to be like that...if you commit yourself to reforming, you can get out on parole. It's happened often enough with the real criminals. And I know Thundercracker pushed you into this...

[She snorts.]

Do you really think I want to deal with that?

[theprimerprime.livejournal.com]

[That was his last hope, and he looks completely defeated when she shoots it down.]

If that's your decision, fine. But you'll regret it.

[She frowns at him before turning and taking her leave.]
