"Do you really think I have any obligation to listen to what you say? If that were the case, then you wouldn't be at my mercy like this." It was preposterous for Lloyd to think he could issue out any kind of order to him considering the position he was in, but it was endearing that he would even try. A far cry from his father, indeed.

The one thing that was slightly frustrating was the way that Lloyd was flailing his wrists around. He seemed to have no consideration for what the doctor was trying to do here -- which made sense, of course, but it wasn't the sort of obstacle the doctor found exciting to overcome.

"Resisting will get you nowhere," he said as he reached forward to twist Lloyd's wrist around and then pinned it down. With his other hand he pulled the scalpel forward, lowering it toward the edge of Lloyd's Exsphere. "If you struggle now, it will only end badly for you," he warned.
