[quote=@Lugubrious] Well that was an interesting turn of event, [@Prince of Seraphs]. Is it some sort of provocation to try and make me go back on my word about Nero? Well, it's going to work flawlessly. He hates being touched under any but the most specific circumstances, and it triggers his curses. Gouging nails into skin hard enough to bleed qualifies as autohitting in my book. Do you have any thoughts or stipulations concerning retaliation? [/quote] What was your word about Nero? In any case I never said anything about gouging or bleeding. What I said was "that her nails dug into his skin". Probably enough to be mildly annoying, maybe a little bit painful and it might leave a red mark for a couple minutes but she certainly wasn't clawing his eyes out. Try drawing a figure eight on your skin really fast with your nail. It irritates the skin but your not going to cut yourself.
