One way in which to break down a will as strong as Aethers, was to isolate them, completely. Cut them off from the world around them, become the only link to the physical world. It could be rather slow, rather tedious, but if he were to be honest, he was rather enjoying this power trip. To see the traveller suspended like he was, a thick hood tied around his head, blocking out all light and noise, his mouth gagged, so he couldnāt even break the pressing silence on his own, thin strings of electro energy holding him off from the ground, suspending him in the centre of the darkened room, cut off from all sensations. The energy was low enough, that a dull shock would only be felt whenever Scaramouche laid a hand against the threads - a silent little reminder to the traveller that he wasnāt as alone as he must begin to feel.
The periods of time to pass between these shocks varied. He wished to watch the way in which the travellerās fingers would twitch, how heād seem to sometimes try and shake off the hood he wore, twisting his neck now and then, trying to do anything to be free from the darkness and silence to press around him. Sometimes, he left Aether alone for hours - other times heād be nearby just watching. This hero from another world, this being that had struck down her from her ideal of eternity...at times he didnāt seem all that special. At others, he fascinated the Balladeer in a manner that no one had managed to do so for years now.
Another hour passed, before heād reach out, lightly running the tips of his fingers slowly down the traveller's spine, watching the way in which his body twitched in response, in which he seemed to try to lean more towards the touch - even as he pressed down harder, even as he started to hurt him, that need still seemed to be present, fingers twitching as Scaramouche reached up and gently tapped the tip of each of his fingertips. How cute. He was almost like some touch starved animal, desperate to feel anything...but not nearly desperate enough.
He wished to make Aether fear this darkness, this silence. For the traveller to understand that this would be the world heād survive within, if he were to foolishly try and turn against him. An exotic being from another world, was it really any wonder as to why he was so captivated? Why he wished to own him, in all the ways he could. A divine creation such as himself only deserved the finest things in life - and what he wanted, he would get. It was simply his right.
Dragging his nails along Aetherās arm, he allowed his touch to linger for a few seconds longer, before withdrawing once more to the darkness, a sly smile forming at the weak whine to be heard in response.
