***
Dave McKenzie is a boxer. Over the years he’d built muscle mass, endurance, resistance to pain. He was never afraid of being hit, of getting cut, of bleeding all over the ring in a good match. Few were his opponents who managed to knock him out.
But that’s on the ring. A goon from the Order of the Lion beating him up on Rizel’s orders as a dubious torture technique is a very different thing. There’s only pointless violence here, the blows are not that efficient. He could do better, it could be worse. What makes it hard to take is that it keeps going on and on and on with no hope of a referee stopping the fouls or calling the round’s end. And the poor technique is such a shame too, a mockery of the sport he dedicated his life to.
Until Rizel steps in, electricity crackling at his fingertips. Dave knows that the human body is not made to let electricity pass through easily. This is going to hurt. A lot.
He wants to protect Siri, at the cost of his life if he must... but at the cost of such pain? He fears he will talk before.
