[Is he going to mention anything that happened during the power failures? Definitely not. Not when he could distract himself with something else. Anything else. And his voice now is as cheerful as it's ever been.]

Hey-o, Asgard! Super quick poll time. How many people here would skin me alive if given the chance?

[No reason. Actually, several reasons, but. He follows it with a laugh.]

Not that I'm volunteering... yet. But hypothetically. No consequences, no turnabout, just a good, straightforward flaying of Henrys!

...Or anyone, for that matter. If you could slaughter absolutely anyone here with absolutely no backlash, would you go for it? I mean, it's not like anything you do is gonna follow you back home, so you might as well go wild with it! Doesn't even have to be for any reason, though you can imagine one if you'd like. Maybe you're just curious as to how it feels! --It feels great, by the way.

I've asked before whether anyone had murdering experience, and was kinda surprised at the answer- but I'm wondering if that's changed at all for anyone, just from being here. A lot of folk haven't been in a war before, and I see a lot of people asking or offering lessons in fighting. Which is great and all, but how many have experience in killing? It's a totally different field! And it's kinda the one that counts when it comes down to it.

But getting back to the important question here: skinning of Henry, yes or no? I'll even return the favor, if you want, though I'm a little out of practice. But if anyone wants a gory death for any reason, I'm your guy!

Well... you never know when you need a good flaying! And it'd be unfortunate to be sitting around un-flayed and totally at a loss as to who to write to to fix things. When it comes to horrible deaths, I like being prepared!

I'm going to assume you're being outlandishly facetious.

Wha- no, not at all! Why do you say that? Don't let my good nature fool ya; I'm totally committed to the joys of slaughter.

Then I reiterate: what in Merlin's name is the matter with you?

Hmm....

[There's a long pause, as if he's thinking seriously about the question. Finally, he laughs.]

Nothing that I can think of! So can I put you down on the flaying list or not?

You don't think there's something very disturbed and deranged about wanting to be skinned alive?

Nnnnnope? Well, maybe a little. I just don't see what's necessarily BAD about it.

I'm not gonna force anyone. ...Not that I could, I didn't get the body control power!

Allow me to rephrase: why in Merlin's name do you want to be skinned alive?

Because I think it would look really cool? Haven't you ever wanted to peel back your own skin? It looks great the times I've done it to other folk. And I'd suffer like never before!

[A long, sharp pause. Severus is staring down at his bracelet in utter bewilderment at what this young man is saying.]

You clearly need to be locked away.

[At first, he just gets another laugh. It's a pretty happy sound, though.]

People keep saying that! But no one ever has. I wonder why? I was looking forward to seeing the torture dungeons they've got here. --They've got to have torture dungeons, right?
