Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ She was eating it, so it must not have been all that bad. ... Then again, there was always the possibility that she was immune. But that was supposing the thing was actually poisoned, which, to be honest, was a little too far out for Hideaki to assume off hand. He'd really refused the first bite simply because he wasn't hungry, what with the blood loss and all, but seeing this made it seem, contrary to sense-making, that she had an interest in his wellbeing. Back to the beginning if that was the case, and even more confounding was way the operation was run--which was what Katsuro was thinking about moreso than the possibility of poison--being such that Ivory, sweet as she was, was trusted to do the job of three werewolves, suggesting a skill or cunning or combination thereof that was more than enough to take out Katsuro--who they wanted to keep alive...? This is, of course, a slant to the femme-fatal's credit as it was by the boundaries of whatever threat a healthy Katsuro could pose to the wolves; it's perhaps more likely that the wolves, seeing his pathetically declining state, knew this would be enough.
"... Fine." He took that bite. The flavor started to seep in, and Hideaki only knew this to be an apple and so swallowed it. The fructose actually did him a lot of good. His eyes perked up, his speech became sharper. "Thanks. ... I guess." He still didn't like to look this strange girl in the eye though.

"So... katsuro san..."She giggled as she kept feeing the tied up boy. "Would you do magic for me?"She asked calmly given how he insisted on avoiding eye contact. Her voice was sweet. But breaking up a person wasn't a 5 minutes routine. Not when they seem to be trained for combat or to endure pain. Which was most likely Ivory's theories given he survived a jab from the claws of that werewolf. And the pack usually didn't spare weaklings. There was meaning in his life, which had her curious. But then again, as she learned when she first walked in this world. Everyone's expendable. She would play nice, sweetly, she would see just how patient he was with this good cop routine. But deep within she wished she could play a little with him. But soft poison would do, for now. "Good boy!"She replied with amusement, as Hideaki thank her. "So, Katsuro san. Do you have any friends? Any girlfriend waiting for you?"There she was, messing with his patience, after all while the poison is slow acting if his pressure was hight enough he could haste considerble the effects... but nothing fancy. It would still take like a few days before he could notice them. (( OOC: ))

Do I seriously have to deal with this??
Katsuro tensed up in annoyance, and immediately blood from his stab wound flooded his shirt. The pain was so great that he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, along with the vast majority of the apple. It broadened the phase "thanks but no thanks."
"What the hell kinda question is that! Of course I have friends..." That was true. He was very popular. Close friends maybe not, but certainly he had plenty of circles to rely on. None of them here, but that was apparent. "... No girlfriend." He tilted his head up slowly. Ivory's face was growing dim, though it was the most luminous thing around, and so he had to focus on it as his sight began to fade.
"... Damnit, you're annoying..." He managed before blacking out in the chair.

About a week had passed. The barn seemed to be poorly treated. The scent of rotten blood could be sensed everywhere and a table held at the center of the room could expose a variety of knives, forks and hammers. All of them apparently with still some tissue on them. The poison should be at its peak as well. But none the less. his wounds were meticulously cleaned so he wouldn't die from blood loss. or by infection. It all laid on his will to live and the poison itself. And soon the door's creek would announce Ivory's return. Fresh and clean as tulip which had just blossomed. Her scent was probably the only thing that was admirable of her though. Since if she was close enough it would give Hideaki a rest from the nauseous scent that was spread all over the barn. "Good morning, Hideaki kun."She replied, sitting over the table located 4ft away from the tied up boy. "At the beggining of our little adventure together I've stated that you may hate me... Later on I told you I couldn't fully bring myself to trust you. But with enough patience..."Said as she touched the knife at the table. "hard work..."her hand would touch the fork... "and coexistence..."her hand would touch the hammer at the table. "I can say that I can truly get myself to trust every word that comes from your lips."She smiled, sweetly. A smile he hadn't seen on her since the first day they met. "So tell me, Hideaki kun... would you perform for us?"(( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ Over the week, whenever he wasn't being tortured by Ivory, was hard at work trying to remember the formula, the code if you will, to his most powerful spell. Without the book it would be exponentially harder to cast, but if he could just remember what it was! ... For another day; and better believe it kept him getting up each day.
"... Fine. Will you leave me alone if I do?"

"Good boy, you may start by standing up, if you can of course."Over the course of the days she gave slight cuts at the robes holding Hideaki after each session. This happened while Hideaki was asleep. By now they should be weak enough for Hideaki to release himself. (( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ But he wouldn't. Not yet, anyway. Despite the poison, Katsuro seemed to be in better shape than one would expect, a testament to Ivory's capabilities as a caretaker. Try as she might, Katsuro knew he was meant to be kept alive and would use this to his advantage whenever he could. He stood and began following her, aiming to prove this yet again.

Ivory would wait for Katsuro to stand up and follow her before opening the gates of the barn finding himself in yet another abandoned village. "Let's go Hideaki kun."She motioned while taking him for a walk. The whole place seemed to be deserted, as if they were the only ones there. Ivory continued as they stopped at what it used to be an inn for travelers. "C'mon I'll let you even pick a room."Note that it would be the first time Hideaki could hold a clear scent of anything rather than spoiled blood and open flesh. So, his sense of scent would finally get some rest. (( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ The air felt amazing. Surely Katsuro's recovery had been stunted by the stale smell of blood and mildew in the old barn, because the sorcerer seemed to bloom now with each breath.
"... What are you doing?" Katsuro had his reasons to be suspicious, but now he asked this with something of surprise in his eyes.

"What? you like the barn better? we could go back and tie you up, I'm fine with that too."Ivory chuckled while waiting for his response. (( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ "You know what I mean!" Said Katsuro tensing up. This time he wouldn't be blacking out though, which was nice. "What are we doing here? You know how weird a guy with ropes looks asking for a room? Huh? God, you're such a moron!" His face went down and a couple tears began to spill over the side of his eyelids.
"... All you want to do is piss me off. What's the point? ... What's the point?"

"Who said we're gonna ask? I said I'll GIVE you a room. Besides, you look like you could use a shower... Nobody's there. No one would peep."She smirks. "Unless you want me to."(( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ All he could say to this was, well, nothing actually. He simply snarled and stormed off toward the room at the corner of the hotel, and prayed for all he was worth that she wouldn't follow. So frustrated with the conversation, in fact, that he forgot to ignore the weakened straps and snapped his wrists free before opening the door to the room.

The room was nothing fancy, but surely a penthouse compared to the barn. There was a bed, big enough for two people. A closet, it had some spare clothes, some were bigger than his size, some too small some of them close to his. It was varied. The bathroom had a bathtub which had an sprinkler above, so it could be used as a shower if preferred. Surprisingly enough, the sound of a cauldron warming up the water was soon head by the pipes. Seems like someone had just set it up tho so it would take a while before hot water was available. Ivory appeared to be spoiling him. (( OOC: ))

Hideaki Katsuro:The Prodigy ▣ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▸ ▹ ▻ ▻ ► ► ◄ ◄ ◅ ◅ ◂ ◃ ◂ ◃ ◂ ▣ The room was palatial compared to what he'd gotten used to. Immediately he went to work setting out something to wear. It didn't take him long either. Next was getting the water running. He tested it and found that the water hadn't warmed up yet, so he went back out to the main room to have a look at all the things he might have missed. Already he was formulating an escape plan. All he needed was some more time alone.
