Sharee wound the whip back up and looked out across the crowd as she walked alongside Noelle. "Alright, show's over. Get back to your duties unless you want to be the next one to volunteer to go under the whip." She announced to the crew, who were quick to disperse upon her order. Noelle didn't seem to have that high of a pain tolerance, so she certainly gave a show the rest of the crew would not be soon to forget. Reaching down with her free hand, Sharee grabbed Noelle by the arm and pulled her to her feet. "Come with me, we need to speak." She ordered in a forceful tone. Keeping her grip on her arm, Sharee guided Noelle into her cabin, then closed and locked the door behind them. She finally let go of Noelle's arm, then walked almost casually over to her table and set down the bloody whip on top of it. "Don't let it be said that I have no mercy." Sharee commented, grabbing one of the other healing potions from her bag and almost forcing Noelle to take it. "Drink, you need to get healed up quickly, else those gashes on your back will scar. I know, I would have some pretty bad ones myself if I would have neglected visits to the healers during my training." Sharee took a seat at her table and ran her claws across the bloodied whip. "I notice you don't seem to have that high of a pain tolerance. I probably wouldn't have hit you so hard at first had I known. It wasn't necessary to intimidate the others. I know what it is like to be whipped. I've had to undergo about triple that amount of lashes before, and that whip wasn't coated in any potion. Actually, I've been flogged, stabbed, beaten, abused in every form you can think of, and many you can't. I've had over a dozen hooks stabbed into body from all sides, in every part of my body, then pulled as tightly as they could without ripping them out. I've had almost every bone in my body broken to the point that it was nearly powder, then slowly healed back to its normal state, only to be broken again. I've had my flesh ignited in magical flames, I've had lightning from three different mages all pumped through my body at once, I've had my body impaled by a dozen spikes, my life only sustained by the mages healing me. I would share more of the tortures I've experienced, but some of the others are a bit disturbing. Suffice to say, all of those tortures came from the Shadowscales who raised me. They taught me how to feel pain, how to ignore it, and how to deal it. The flogging I gave you...not so bad, really. I coated my whip in a healing potion before I began. You might have noticed the pain fading rather quickly? That would be why. You can thank your cooperation for that. Overall, I should thank you. After that show, I don't expect any of the others to act up for quite a while. I made sure not to mention [i]exactly[/i] how you manipulated me during my little speech. Your illusion magic should come in handy for keeping the crew in line, should we need it. Who knows, you might even earn some extra pay out of it."
