[Shhh, little Yuri. Shhh. Only crippling pain now. She keeps it up for a little while, as he edges closer and closer to passing out, humming under her breath. When she can feel his muscles start to loosen from their spasms, she stops the penalty completely and eases him onto his back.

One hand is gently carding through his hair as she lets him regain control of his body.]

I'm sorry, Yuri. I suppose that wasn't particularly pleasant... but you were sloppy, to have allowed her to kill you. I'm not at all angry, though. Don't think that I bear any grudge against you. After all, we do encourage you to hate Conquest, don't we? You don't punish a dog for biting an intruder...

[ she smiles, and hums a little more. And continues to stroke his hair. Stroke, stroke, stroke. He has such nice hair, like her mother's. She wants to tug it out, just a little, but she doesn't. He's learned his lesson for now. ]

We'll just have to make sure you do better next time, hmm? But you did well.
