Corvids are intelligent animals. They can be taught to talk. But maybe this one is a little less intelligent than the others--given it let itself get caught so easily. He must be embarrassed as hell.

[ the creature is still struggling, but it's absolutely a failed effort, there's no breaking Lapis' grasp. Its throat doesn't even make a sound now--what with how hard she's gripping the thing, it's probably crushed its larynx... oops. ]

Fire is effective. We could just do it in the back yard, tell anyone who asks that we're just burning some old compost.

He is an absolute idiot, huh. Maybe he should examine his targets a little more carefully next time... Ah, though there won't be a next time.

[ She is fairly certain she's crushed something by this point; her tails grip hasn't eased in the slightest, and all struggling does is make sure she crushes them further. Maybe another person might have a bit more sympathy, but she has little patience for some upstart crow demon barging into their home. ]

Backyard it is, we can test out that new fire pit I was making for the summer.

[ With that, she not-so-gently drags the creature towards the back of the house; still very much uncaring of its protests. Or whatever it's trying to say, considering his throat is crushed to almost nothing. ]

I hope all this noise doesn't wake anyone else up...

There won't be a next time. [ he agrees with that. this thing won't live to see morning light, let alone making plans to kill anyone else.

there's a small smile on Jinwoo's face. Maybe he's enjoying the show just a little. Lapis is... honestly so cool. That sort of power, without effort... if it was anyone else, he might be a little jealous. Envious, maybe, but. The fact that it's her... ]

It's the quiet hours of the morning. So long as the thing doesn't scream anymore, it should be a lovely early morning fire.

[ it continues to *try* to squwak and protest, but the sounds come out as wheezing sounds that can barely be heard at close proximity. ] We're pretty good at being quiet.

[ Lapis would absolutely insist she's not cool in the slightest, though she does still suffer from very poor self-esteem as well. But the main thing is that Jinwoo seems to be enjoying this, judging by that small smile, and that helps embolden her even more. ]

Well, it doesn't seem like it can scream anymore. Maybe I was holding them a little too tight.

[ Said as she tightens her tail around them even more, dragging and then throwing them into the fire pit once it's come into view. ]

True, we are. Though... [ She considers that for a moment, debating if she wants to finish that sentence, before flashing a playful smile. ] Well, that's something for later.

[ Terrible.

But she takes a moment to deck the demon in the face with some firewood she had stored nearby, humming for a moment. ]

... Do you want to be the one to set it on fire?

Maybe a little tight. But after it tried to literally kill you in your sleep, I don't feel it deserves much mercy.

[ said with the same casual tone as one would discussing something like the fucking weather, really. he's got a small smile on his face as she offers to let HIM do the deed, and he looks thoughtful. ]

I don't have a lighter with me. Otherwise I'd totally be down to do it. [ sadly the fire powers he had so far didn't have fire powers--he's forgetting all about his magic bow that could produce flame, though. [rolled a fuckin 2] he was definitely distracted by the uh. Implication she made. Oops. ]

Mmm, I think I've been pretty nice to even let it live this long.

[ But that's not going to last for much longer, considering it's being used as fire fodder. She takes a moment to check there's enough wood to get it burning quickly, before perking up at Jinwoo's answer.

And despite her terrible innuendo causing his brain to stutter, she still has no regrets about that, she has a solution. She rummages for the kindling she has stashed nearby, before snapping her fingers (time to put that basic firebending to use) to ignite it with a small flame and then hands it to him. ]

Here you go, this should be enough to get a fire going.

A kindness, really. A chance for it to think about what it's done and perhaps in its next reincarnation, to make better damn choices. [ because reincarnation is a thing in this world, right?? fucking learn your lesson, dude.

he's going to grin a little as he takes the kindling she's handed him though, making a hum in the back of his throat. he'll pretend he didn't just forget everything because of the easy 4am flirting, and turn his head to look at the poor creature which has redoubled its efforts to escape. its thrashing its legs, now. ]

Let's not be embarrassing. Take your loss with dignity.

Toss him in the firepit, and we'll get started. Your shadows should be enough to restrain him.

Hopefully it will learn, or it may just end up on the fire again.

[ Others may not be so merciful as them. Though some might see as what she's doing as prolonging it's suffering, but well... Maybe it shouldn't attack her when her fiance is nearby and put him at risk, and maybe it shouldn't have named her Nonni as a target.

So if she happens to grab a leg a little too tightly with her tail and break it as she tosses them into the firepit, well, that's just how it goes. The shadows wrap tightly around the demon now to keep them in place, and she cants her head towards Jinwoo; ready when he is. ]

They're not going anywhere now. And if they try to run, I'll just break the other leg.
