[Well for one, he'll try to stomp on your instep. He's not drunk enough to be entirely uncoordinated, but he is too scared to get words out properly.]

[fairdevil]

Foolish things, I see.

[He'll take that wrist and twist it with enough sudden force to snap the bones like a matchstick]

Pity you have such poor judgement, lashing out against a man whom you know to be...abnormal.

[didnteventry]

[Byakuya only makes a half-hearted effort to choke back his scream. It turns to terrified, pained keening, his tears coming harder as he stops struggling all at once. It hurts -- not as much as the bullets he's felt before, but bad enough, and he wilts.]

Let go of me...

[fairdevil]

I will tell you this now, Matou Byakuya, your terror and your begging both fascinate me. Knowing that, would you truly expect me to let you go so easily?

[He kisses that limp hand, a small prelude to all the other things he wishes to do with this man.]

I don't imagine you would. Perhaps you forget when you're immersed in fear and in drink, but you know better, don't you?

[didnteventry]

Of course I know!

[But he doesn't like it. He doesn't want to let it happen. Still, there's no getting out of Kirei's grasp right now, so his free hand instead comes up to wipe at his own eyes. He smiles a small, bitter smile, and sniffs.]

I'm not stupid. You're a monster.

[fairdevil]

How good to see my judgement is, once again, correct. You're intelligent, sharp enough to at least understand the natures of others, and yet I could do this--

[He draws a Black Key, tracing a line gently across Byakuya's neck]

--and you would still tremble. Or I could do this--

[He drops Byakuya's wrist, but only to slam him into the wall and plant the Key's blade into his shoulder]

--And you would still scream for mercy despite the futility of it all.

[didnteventry]

[His reaction is exactly as Kirei predicted. The fear in the air is thick enough to choke even before he's stabbed, and once he does it's cut by a scream, then filled with whimpering sobs.

It's not fair. Kariya's the one who brought Kirei. Kariya's the one who deals with him. He shouldn't even be here right now, and Byakuya shouldn't have to face him like this.

He's too scared to speak, so instead he just thinks about how much he's going to lay into his brother later.]

[fairdevil]

Just as I thought.

[He eyes the two other keys he has on him -- to use them or not?]

By the by, I would be cautious. I couldn't tell you what you'd sever if you struggled right now.

[didnteventry]

[He holds still when Kirei says that, looking at the spare black keys with apprehension. He's familiar with bleeding too much -- Kiritsugu's bullets put him in the hospital from sheer blood loss, and he doesn't want to repeat that (or worse) now. He couldn't remove the blade from his shoulder if he wanted to when his other wrist is broken anyway. But it's painful not to run away, and there's not much pride between him and begging.]

You're sick...

[fairdevil]

That's a given, is it not? To be good, to be charitable, to be loving -- that is what is expected of people because those traits pave the way to a greater good for all. One would need to be dysfunctional to reject all those things.

[didnteventry]

If you get it, then why don't you restrain yourself, huh? Why don't you stop it and go away?!

[fairdevil]

[Yeah, ABOUT THAT...]

I'm afraid there's only so much self denial that even a man of God can weather.

[He slides a hand down Byakuya's shirt, slowly undoing the buttons]

[didnteventry]

H-Hey, what are you doing?!

[His wrist may be broken, but he can still push at Kirei's hand. It's just a weak push, mostly with his forearm.]

Get away from me!

[fairdevil]

I will ask you a question that will, surprisingly, provide you with your answer at the same time: when have I ever paid you much heed, Matou Byakuya?

[didnteventry]

Just-- forget about me, would you? I'm not worth your attention, so pretend I don't exist!

[fairdevil]

[The last button is less undone and more popped off, and he gives a tsk as it clatters to the floor]

Then I will raise another question to you -- do you think it wise to try and make decisions for the man who could kill you at a moment's notice?

[didnteventry]

Letting you do what you want isn't exactly in my best interests!

[fairdevil]

Dying would not be in your best interests either, you realize.

[His smirk is almost fond]

Especially not at my hands. I like to think of myself as a patient, methodical man.

[didnteventry]

[YOU ARE MAKING ME CHOOSE BETWEEN TORTURE AND TORTURE AND THEN DYING. THIS IS NOT FAIR.

Aaand he has no idea how to respond and this point so he just clenches his fist in Kirei's shirt, drops his head, and tries not to sob too audibly.]
