She arrived as was told of her.
Though there was brief shock on her features seeing the pup in his teeth.

Swallowing, the woman came closer, stopping a few feet in front of Caligula with a bow of greeting.

Right on time! Splendid, Caligula always appreciated someone who was able to stay true to appointments. Caligula gave her a bonus point in his book and watched with some disinterest as she bowed her head to him. "I am not your superior, Eldra, you need not bow to me." Of course he enjoyed the ego boost, but he was a commoner now and would insist upon being treated as such.

"It is still a mercy kill today, but on the opposite end of the spectrum. This child will die soon with or without your assistance and if you cannot stomach killing him yourself, you will watch me do it. The pup dies either way, so Eldra, will you be this child's angel of mercy, or will mine be the last face he sees? For what it is worth, I find you a far prettier face than my own." Was it a strange time to flirt? Yes. That's why he was doing it.

Her stomach dropped.
But she listened.

After all, she did vow to do whatever it would take.

So to his words, she nodded in agreement.
"I'll do it."

Eldra was in agreement. Caligula had to admit he was impressed by her willingness, particularly considering her first kill would be a child. It had been his first kill as well, but puppies killing puppies was different. "When you're ready, then," the ghost rumbled, removing himself from towering over the pup who had no inkling of what was even happening. It was for the best that way, he knew. Caligula was showing him mercy, even if he wouldn't be around to appreciate it much longer.

She took a deep breath to steady herself as Caligula praised her, and asked his question.
Looking to the dead child, she truly didn't think there was any other limits to break killing wise.

"I feel... almost....limitless." Eldra responded softly.
There was something about killing a kid that can't be redeemed, and she had crossed that line.

Limitless. Now there was a word that had some meaning behind it. It hadn't been what he expected to hear, but he certainly wasn't disappointed by it. Eldra had all the makings of a warrior beneath the rubbish, didn't she? It would be easy to break her down and rebuild, and so that's what they would do. "I am glad." Truly, how much more freeing could it be to have committed such a depraved act? How much further could one go? Not very.

"Your homework for the week is to kill. Not an ally, of course, but a vagabond child or elder like this would do." His tail twitched. "Bring me the spine. I like what you did with this one." Maybe he would decorate his den with them.

"For the rest of the day we will spar, and come first sunlight I expect you to be well on your way to finding prey." Because that's what they were at the end of the day: prey. Nothing but deer for them to feast upon.

{could possibly fade out here with them sparring??}

Eldra listened and nodded appropriately. She understood.
And with that, the rest of the day was spent sparring.

Tomorrow would begin the haunt of terror.
