"She was trying to bite her lip. Does that mean something?" Cole asked her.

Cole gasped at the sight of the woman's bloodied nails, "Aaaah," she screamed, "Damn it. What are you made of? That is not skin," the woman replied.

"You should have told me before you did something that stupid. My skin is nearly impenetrable and at the moment, none of us has the tool to cut me. What were you trying to do anyway?" he asked.
