Half-Hill
Homucifer: (sees Kora pocket the Soul Gem with a frown, then hears her threat with a...smirk?) Heh heh heh heh...go ahead. If you want to light up like a Christmas tree and beg Tapferin for his sword as you drown in despair...
(The Soul Gem itself feels warm, like there's energy inside of it.)
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Half-Hill
Homura?: (Kora and Koata) <Can't...hold...see...>
Homucifer: (Koata) Oh, but now I do! Brave words coming from the coward. (struggles - unsuccessfully, for now - to try to get Koata off of her as she turns to Kora) Whatever happened to just getting enough to run away from this place, running away from those that want you dead and all the pain and regret you have? Tell you what. (Kora may start to feel her power slowly rising - and the magic signature that accompanies it, and the sudden influx of despairing thoughts of hopelessness - coming from the Soul Gem in her pocket.) You want it, don't you? I can spare some, and I'm quite sure my wimpy goody-two-shoes half would like the reprieve. Or you can leave that Gem here and run away like you'd said you'd do - the transfer will stop and you'll be free to go.
Homura?: <Need help...to see...>
Homucifer: ...Oh right, and she'd be left all to me as well. Heh. (a brief glint in her eye as she grins at the situation) So which will you choose, O Great Destroyer?

So what's your speed? Whiskey? Vodka? I got a custom drink you might like!
-The shooting continues, very frustratingly-
-oh wait! They paused to reload again-
Be more assertive. Put fear into them.

...Uhm, I don't drink, pal.
