Mmmmm, more risk of sunburn. But less work.

I see. Are you ill? Or is your arm needing healing?

[imperatour]

it's fine.

[ No it's not. Little bits of mutilated nerves scream at her randomly throughout the day and night. It feels like flesh that isn't even there is on fire. But it's fine. ]

it doesn't grasp as smoothly as i want it to. thought someone else might know how to make it smoother. dunno.

[preborns]

I see. That's a worthy goal.

I have no skill in fleshwork, or metal, but if you've any pain, I can ease it.

[imperatour]

how?

[preborns]

By telling your mind not to feel it. A simple trick.

[imperatour]

no offense but i've tried that.

[preborns]

Perhaps. But not with me.

I'm a bit better at it.

[imperatour]

Like a trick.

[preborns]

I suppose that's a way to look at it.

A trick that works, should you want it.

[imperatour]

Should I trust you?

[ Furiosa does, despite herself. ]

[preborns]

I think you know the answer to that.

[The answer is "no", but Alia encourages it anyway. She knows she's untrustworthy. So does Furiosa.]

[imperatour]

You're the one who's supposed to be able to see into people's minds, not me.

[preborns]

I'm being polite.

[imperatour]

I don't care about that either.

[preborns]

No? Then come find me and I'll show you what my mind can do.
