Disgust

The three of them all looked at one another in confusion. Firstly, Sarah picked up the bowl of meat soup and sloshed it around. The steam rising to her nostrils and she quickly began to dig in. Jack followed suit.

'There's no reason for him to be this kind..' Drygr had always been kind on the surface. However, his actions and his demeanor were much more horrid. 'Why did he bring the soup.. Poison?'

'Isis is there anyway for you to scan the food for poison?'

[../No

[../Only after ingestion]

It was a precise response. One he honestly wasn't expecting.

With a trace amount of hesitation he brought the soup to his lips and sampled a small piece. When Isis didn't say anything further, he began to devour the meal. He brought the bowl to his lips and chugged its entire contents in one motion.

"Phew" he sighed, leaning his head back and relaxing. The warmth of the meal spreading throughout his body. "That was delicious"

Jack was the second to finish his meal and laid sprawled upon the ground, lightly patting his belly. "Maybe he respected your guts and attitude." Jack openly pondered.

Sarah, who was almost finished, interjected, "Well I've kicked him and he starved me. You threatened his girlfriend and he brings you soup? It doesn't add up." She poured the last bit of food into her mouth. She stared hard at Osiris "Why did you speak up? I could have handled it myself."

Osiris who still had his eyes closed, basking in the fullness from the meal.

"I just had to vent out my frustration. You can do it next time." He let out a small chuckle.

'There is no way I can let them know..' His plans had to remain a secret. If even the smallest hint got out to Drygr it could ruin everything. 'I need to Drygr to remain ignorant at all costs. Status.'

'My resilience has gone up again, but I need to make sure I can withstand all of Drygr's blows. Who knows how much hidden strength he has.'

Just as he finished this thought Drygr walked into the room. With a smile on his face he glanced around at everyone's contentment.

"Yous guys seem rather good right now, ya kno?" He slowly walked around the room, slowly. Jack and Sarah's bodies tensed up. Only half-opening one of his eyes Osiris looked at Drygr before closing it again. He was already his slave, there was nothing more he could do to him, and even if he did it would only benefit Osiris in the long run.

Drygr got closer to the relaxed Osiris. When he was just within reach he knelt down and stared daggers at him. "Yous like your meal?" The resentment in his voice ringing clearly.

"Delicious. Thank you." Osiris replied curtly. Not even bothering to open his eyes.

Unfazed by the lack of respect Drygr stood up and grabbed the lever next to Osiris chains.

"Good, We's found a good use for yous corpses," Chuckled Drygr yanking the lever and forcing Osiris to be suspended before him. "That Friend o'yous...Mark was it? He made a nice meal to fill yous threes up nice."

Only now, did Osiris open his eyes and stare at Drygr. Sarah and Jack were stupefied on the spot. Within a breathes time Sarah hurled the food across the floor. Jack rolled onto his stomach and began to heave as well.

Osiris stayed motionless, staring at Drygr. The nauseating discomfort rising through his stomach. His whole body felt weak and he could feel the food coming up from his throat. However, he'd be damned before giving Drygr the satisfaction.

A smile spread wide across his mouth, eyes glued to Drygrs with a ferocity. "Have anymore?" He whispered. As he spoke he had to simultaneously force the food back down.

Drygrs eyes rose with shock. He let out a strange roar filled with anger and began to unleash hook after hook into Osiris sides.

Even though the pain was real. Vivid and shocked his whole body, it wasn't as bad as it was when he first arrived. 'This has to be because of resilience..' Osiris thought, clenching his teeth together tightly.

Drygr became even more enraged. The magma-colored veins along his arms began to throb. With eyes knit together he pushed himself harder, and harder. His anger would only be satisfied when he heard the human beg and plead for mercy.

Slowly the force behind each punch grew. At first, Osiris body would swing slightly in the air, however, as time grew on and Drygr became more frustrated, Osiris body would swing back until it hit the wall of flesh and shoot him forward like a rubber band. Hours of this continued with no end in sight.

'The pain is still there, but it feels.. Duller. Less impactful.' He thought to himself. 'It must be why it's taking longer fo--'

[../Resilience increased by 1]

'That's all? Well if it's a matter of force, maybe Drygr's punches aren't much stronger than this. I can at least use this time to understand his moves.. Isis, Store the information about Drygr's movement and musculature into my brain.'

A sharp cry of pain released from Osiris mouth. Drygrs punches may have been one thing but the massive headache that flooded his senses was terrifyingly worse.

Drygr's frustration was replaced with an arrogant smile. Seemingly, becoming more energetic his body began to move differently. He began to circle around, punching the body at any and all odd angles. His flurry of moves becoming quickly as he weaved in and out of Osiris sight.

"What the..." Drygr suddenly stopped and stared at the newly acquired tail Osiris had grown. "I knew it.. Yous a freak!"

He grabbed the tail and threw Osiris forward, and upon Osiris descent punched him square in the jaw. Osiris screamed out at the pain. His tail, for some reason, was oddly sensitive compared to the rest of his body. He began to shutter and shake uncontrollably as the memories of the white chair flooded his mind.

[../Resilience increased by 1]

Upon this final execution of strength Drygr slapped the lever and walked away. Stretching his arms out wide, a satisfied grin on his face after delivering such a brutal punishment. He let out a long sigh and turned around to look at the frenzied expressions between both Sarah and Jack. Osiris laid out onto the ground rolling in agony.

"Yous otta learn your place quick.. Or yous are in it like him" With that he turned and left the room. "Suga-Pop What's fa dinna!?"

Sarah was the first to break the silence yelling at Osiris from across the room. Jack just turned and looked at Osiris who was still in agony. This day had been traumatic, for all of them. Osiris, however, held onto a fraction of satisfaction.

'Tomorrow,' the pain subsiding throughout his body, 'I escape.'
