He laughs softly again, though the sound is still awful and sinister.
"Much better."
She is beginning to give into the pain, beginning to break. He lets go of her hand; it will continue to burn no matter what she does with it. The only relief will come from neutralizing it with a basic solution. He then pulls out his dagger again and places a hand on her shoulder, leaning over it to look more closely. He sinks the sharp tip of his knife into her deltoid muscle and drags it down, then takes it out. Sinks it in again, draws a curved line that connects to the other. It's deep enough to hurt terribly, bleed profusely, and to scar.
It's a brand. A "D".
A point of pride. Physical proof of his domination over her, in his mind. Something that would surely piss her and Jeritza off to no end, that he'd laid claim to her body, that he is always here and they can't get rid of him. And fuck them for trying to. He has just as much a right to live in this body as Jeritza does, with all he did to protect their mother and sister, and protect themselves from any threat. He has a right to exist.
"You will never be rid of me, Nina. So long as you are near Jeritza, you will be near me, too. I cannot be permanently killed, and I am not going anywhere. So you best get used to this."
