[ OR NOT. Turns out that while being cut into doesn't hurt as much as electric shocks do, the hurt is different enough that she lets out a gaspy little scream despite herself.

(She's still a little tempted, obviously. I mean, come on.) ]
Geez, um, sorry - not scarring would be, uh, appreciated. Thanks.
[ Did she just thank a FREAKING BANDIT for poking at her with a knife. Is this a real thing that's happening. ]
AS ALWAYS
