The knife remained in her lap as she watched the creature; watched it come to the conclusion she'd already known would he would come to. He wanted to be human, of course he did and who was Sori to deny him his wish?
"Your bell," Sori smiled, "Is attached to your tail. I do want your bell but I don't want the rest of you which means I must... remove the bell." She picked up the knife, then showed the strange orange mulch, "This would numb the pain after and help it to heal."
She was of course saying that she would have to cut the bell off and take at least the tip of his tail with it. She wouldn't take much but he would still feel pain.
The sky was darkening faster now and the temperature dropping. Sori leaned over the rat to pull the tent flaps shut, the outside world was gone; all that existed was the tent and the things and the creatures crowded inside. With the darkness fairly intense even the witches glowing stone could not light the whole of the tent. The shadows were now sharp, large and pitch black while whatever the light hit was bright, harsh and held little to define it. Everything looked blocky. The light was not easy on the eyes but Sori didn't seem to mind all too much, she simply closed her eyes halfway which made the hydrolisk woman look a little sleepy.
"So, have you decided little rodent?" Sori purred, "Are you sure you want to be human? The transformation is not an easy one. You will be in quite a lot of pain for the rest of the night and tomorrow morning."
Then she smiled, "Aswell, since I will not be able to keep your bell, as it will have to be used to complete the transformation, you will... owe me."
That wasn't part of the original agreement but, eh, things changed. The bell would be needed to complete the creatures transformation and so she would not beable to keep it. She did want SOMETHING out of all this; Sori didn't work for free you know.
