"When I get free, I will put tourniquets on your limbs so you won't bleed out and then eat them one by one. Slowly, so you could feel every one of my teeth tearing into your flesh," I hissed at her and bared my lips, showing said teeth.

The woman's smile didn't even flinch. She kept accessing me like a fly under a looking glass. "Good imagination. Your combat intelligence also seems to be above average. I wonder how you are with other intellectual tasks. Another thing to test."
