She growls. "They are not a part of me. They are a curse put on me...." She says, ripping a few scales out with her hand.

"curse, blessing, random acts of "gods", there are alot of things that can change a person" he replies evenly, not acknowledging her outburst as he just stares at the log pile, fire sprout from it with no change in his face. "that medicine you take is to slow your change isn't it?" he asks evenly, holding up the pill bottle in question just to confirm what he was talking about

"...Yes...if I let it take me over....I will turn into the monster I killed." she says.

"if you do exactly as i say i can remove your reliance on these pills" he says evenly as he lays some meat on to cook, adding "but i can't reverse it"

"In order to reverse it, I must....blind myself." She says. "I just...want it to go away.....but..it does give me great power....gorgons are quite strong." She says.

"i can't make it go away, but i can make it more managable" he says evenly, holding the pill bottle over the fire as he adds "but i can't train you if you're going to continue relying on these pills... so you get to decide right now: accept that this is a part of who you are now and allow me to do what was done to me and earn my tutelage along with more control over your condition, or don't and report back to your emperor as a failure". he walks over to her and offers her a hand, a sign for her to accept his terms

"Accept..this...monster as a part of me? Why? How does this stop your training?" She asks, looking quite angry. She also tries to grab her pills.

"everyone has a monster. ours are just more visible... and my reasons are my own, you just need to know that you will only benefit from it if you accept my offer" he says evenly, the pills disappearing as he lets her get angry, his face an emotionless mask as always

When the pills vanish, she springs up, gripping his throat in her hands. She moved with a speed far faster than in combat, due to some of her armor being off.
"Give them back. Now. Screw your training, just give me those pills...." she says, her fingers digging into his skin.

"you already have them" he says evenly, showing no issue breathing despite her efforts. he takes it from her pocket and holds it out, saying "the pills will work for now, but you will eventually run out. you need better options" in his normal even tone although the words would make it seem as though he were concerned about her his tone seems to dispel these notions

She lets his throat go, and grabs the bag of valuable pills. "Never..takes theses again. If you do, I will kill you. I promise you...." She says, her voice growing more...snake like as she spoke there. She then puts them back into her pocket.
"Now...what is the first step of this training?" She asks.

"normally it would be meditation and basic combat but your lack of discipline regarding simple orders about attire show that i need to start at sub basic" he says evenly, taking the glave and tossing it up, a small spark the only tell before a bright flash and her weapon is embedded in a tree much to thick for her to retreive. "when you can follow orders you can have your weapon back. until then you'll be learning unarmed combat" he says evenly before walking up the tree her weapon was embedded in and saying "when you can do this i'll let you move out of sub basics"

Oddly, when he does this, it splits the tree down the middle, making the two halves fall.
"Damn....impressive." She says, looking a bit amazed.

"fine. i'll reform it when you can follow orders" he says evenly before taking the glave and crumpling it into an unusable state. despite his cold exterior most would probably be right in assuming he was annoyed, but he had said he would reform it and it was in a shape where it could still be carried around. he then walks up the tallest tree around and plants a kunai in it, saying "when you can get up here by walking you can move onto the basics

Delta laughs a bit, and takes a walking start, and digs her toes into the bark, as she quickly walks up the tree, reaching the Kunai, and ripping it out.
"Next?" She asks.

"good... you're not that dense" he says evenly as if having had thought of her as excruciatingly dense. he takes the kunai and points at the clothes as if to say "put them on"

"...Do I really need to? I managed to walk up the tree in my armor...." She says "And if you make me, I insist I get gloves and sleeves that are a bit longer..." She adds.

"it's the same as mine" he replies evenly, his shirt having had sleeves long enough to hide his feathers while he wore gloves. leaving her with her knew orders he grabs his own shirt and puts it on, long leeves covering his arms but the low cut of the neck showed a bit of his feathers however he simply closes his eyes and the feathers seem to sink into his skin, leaving him looking normal aside from the wings and eyes. "if you'd taken me up on the offer you could do that too" he says evenly

"Shut up." She growls. She then takes her clothing, and changes into it behind a tree. She walks over, the only part of her armor she is still wearing is an odd sort of neck piece that covers her chin.

"you look good with a bit of cleavage" he says evenly before walking over and handing her the kunai, placing a hand on her stomach and then on her forehead. she can feel an odd sensation before being overtaken by a bout of illness as she can feel a new found sense awakening

She frowns at the cleavage remark, and forces herself to not vomit.
"Oh god that sucked...." She says, shivering.
