|| I never know what to do when my muse just disappears.

the darling of Wutai here, to carry you out of here. Maybe escort if you start talking faster."

Seeing her fidget, the beads of sweat start on her forehead, he definitely had done something when he broke her first two fingers. But his dark eyes were trained on Yuffie, wanting to see what she'd do.

he'll break me."

Tseng's eyes narrowed as he noticed her wiggle her thumb, seeing the little device slide out and he grabbed her fingers, pulling them back with a few wet cracks. The small black device hits the floor into a few pieces.

"Smart, but too slow... just talk and I may even let +

was sent to find out, with other stuff. Rufus had his reasons and he didn't question the man, instead he just did what he needed to.

"What do you think you're going to offer me, girlie?" Gabriella hissed, eyes flicking to the Turks cold features and back to the ninja. "He'll kill you then +

me to finish you off."

Before he could really seal the deal on intimidation, the sound of a slap echoed through the cavern. The Turk was taken back for a moment, just watching, with cold indifference on the outside.

"You can also tell us what you found there..." It was the information he also +

really my style." Tseng muttered under his breath.

The captives assumption was right though, Yuffie could never be a Turk. While she was skilled, she would fold quickly.

"Because it'll be the difference between a quick death and a slow painful one. I can keep you alive for months and you'll beg-

The ability to think on ones feet was what made him a good Turk, but he had gotten out of that situation quickly. Much to her annoyance, but to his relief, even if it was temporary and he had got his target trapped in a corner.

A brow rose at the little ninja, a lip quirked up.

"Arresting isn't+

(( I'm not saying that it might revive cato... but it would

"Lets go,Dagger."

"As long as you don't back down, I'm willing to play."

in Yuffie's direction.

"She's here, ask your questions and I'm going to dispose of her, after she spills it all."

A warning, as he went to tie the end of the rope to a nearby rock. She was near the cliff after all, wouldn't do for her to get away so easily.

at one end of the room. How fitting.

With a few precise movements, he had the target restrained with a thick rope, to a chair at least.

"You're going to talk."

Was all he said, then he heard footsteps, a clack of heels and he knew the ninja joined him. Dark eyes looked to her, a brow raised +

Yuffie with the group of people, that seemed to ask her incessant questions, he knew he had a few minutes with the woman alone. No one looked at him again.

He followed her, silent until she went down a set of stairs. Down, down, down it went and it opened to a cavernous room, a sheer cliff +

was wrong, I'll go get you a piece of cake and bring the car around."

His eyes had scanned the room and saw their target leave. A woman. Her name was Gabriella Vollrathe, she had essential information on ShinRa's headquarters and needed to be eliminated after she spilled all she knew.

Leaving +

until he saw a group of people approaching them. Great, they'd made a scene, brought attention to themselves.

Before they could ask, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulled her close and kissed her. It was just a moment, but it was enough for the people to relax.

"I'm sorry darling, I +

took a step and looked up at him, the anger on her face so obvious, he was surprised when she went to throw her drink at his face and missed.

"For a ninja, you have awful aim." There was almost a sing-song quality to that tease.

The slap to his face surprised him, eyes widened for a moment, +

eyes, locking eyes with her again. They were conversing in Wutaian through it all.

"You will be in the way, I have a job to do and while I don't do things without a reason, I will make sure I come out on top."

"Bastard!" The small Wutaian yelled.

Perhaps it was a little too loud, but she +

he couldn't help the next comment.

"Nice legs."

There was a moment where she didn't say anything, then glared at him.

"ろくでなし"

Tseng managed a smile at that.

"You say the sweetest things to me." Tseng replied in Wutaian, still amused.

"You're in the way."

The Turk fought not to roll his +

it confirmed however, that they were probably after the same target. Why she needed the information was irrelevant, he just needed to finish what he was here to do.

The dress fit her rather nicely, even if the leg split was a little /high/ but he figured it was for ease of movement. Still, though +

A glass of champagne in each hand, the formally dressed man slid up to stand beside Yuffie, holding out a drink for her. It wasn't drugged this time.

"Fancy seeing you here." Tseng said as Yuffie took the offered beverage. Whether it was just to be polite, he didn't care.

There was one thing +

[ @wutaiwhiterose.bsky.social ]
This was supposed to be a run of the mill mission, extract information, remove the target from sight and then get rid of them completely. Sometimes though, there was a hurdle it was just a surprise that it was a small ninja.

Not that he was worried about it. +

"Let me fix that, as how fragile SOLDIER can be."

Taking a few steps away, he went to a hidden panel in the wall, pressed a few buttons and started the slow drip of ice cold water on the skin. Randomly, it would soak the man, other times, a small electric shock would come from the chair.

"強くあり続けようとしていますか?" Tseng asked casually. "マザーファッカー"

While the man was reeling from the strike, he picked the knife up again and pulled off a nail. It was all simple stuff, but he did want to see him struggle. So those restraints were pulled down, to his ankles, bent over, he cut the fabric from the mans back, exposing the skin.

+

There it was again, that smile.

"You wouldn't be the first, and definitely not the last. But the best part about you not talking, is that this will go on longer."

In a quick movement, the Turk had clipped the man over the ears, knowing enough it'd make a ringing sound.

+

There was a small quirk of the Turks lips to accompany those words, anyone else would have seen it for the warning sign it was. But not this one, it'd be fun.

"See, if I wasn't after information, your tongue would be on the floor and I would make sure your country turned on you."

+

"Now you take this, and have a good rest, then I'll work on getting some cura and making sure you get home safe, hm?"

Knowing full well the ninja wouldn't want to be in his presence longer than necessary and he was fine with that.

It was all the Turk had said before he disappeared, luckily she was facing away from him. Normally, he only kept this stuff for a particularly talkative Turk, when in pain, but she was close enough.

Being small, it was only going to take a small amount, injected into three pieces of chocolate.

+

"Well, I had to live somehow and I was put through rigorous testing, trained to survive all conditions. Once you've had the pain once, your body does remember ways to not be in so much pain." Dark eyes narrowed at her. "I pray you never have to go through something like that. For now... Chocolate."+

Turk and pulling authority on her wouldn't work.
