Zyra continues to work away at Tex, breaking bones in as many places as physically possible yet keep her alive. Vines then enter her body hundreds upon thousands of smaller vines entering her veins yet still allowing for bloodflow. The pain would be unbearable by any normal human standards. Zyra could keep Tex alive as long as she wished like this. She smirks and begins slowly, ever so slowly stripping Tex of her skin, only to have vines spread out and coat the exposed flesh in a clear liquid that would give off the feeling like acid. The vines themselves would act like another layer of skin, stopping her from bleeding out.

Tex screamed and cried until she had neither tears nor breath remaining. Her throat raw, her eyes burning, her mind shaking at the seams, she continued to endure it and made no effort to hurry her death along. That would be tampering with the experiment and would necessitate redoing it. As her skin was stripped off and the exposed flesh was coated in clear liquid, she curled up within her own mind, shouting her own name over and over and listening to it reverberate off the walls as the resulting clarity provided some semblance of detachment from the unending pain for those few eyeblinks and preserved a small corner of her mind. Blood still flowed, pain still wracked her body, data was still collected. But Tex, or what consisted of Tex's essence, cowered, tried to remain out of reach, and waited.

Soon, the vines would spread from a wound in her back and it would grow around her spin, splitting tiny pieces of flesh of the bone allowing thin roots to continue along the spine. The roots would dig into the spine and begin pinching at the nerves, the pains he was feeling would reach it's peak, Zyra would gently lift the gremlins face to look into the eyes that had been forced open.
A gentle smile on her lips,
"Anytime you want to learn... Come again."
With that the remaining bones in her body would be shattered, her spine obliterated by the roots crushing it. Zyra looked at the gremlin. Best to make sure. Vines bore their way into her what was once her skull and ripped it from the body.

"Well... I guess they won't mind if I consume the body..."

As the pain neared its peak, the clarity that her name had been providing faded and her fear reached a fever pitch. She needed something, anything, to avoid getting swept away by the seemingly unending agony, to keep enough of herself. Stretching out, she latched on to a name that was almost as familiar as her own, that of the gremlin with whom she was assigned to research love-Rex. She murmured his name over and over to herself, only dully aware of the pinching in the nerves around her spine and the pain finally reaching its height.

When her head was lifted and her eyes forced open, Zyra would notice that the eyes seemed almost vacant, just a flicker within, and that the mouth was set somewhere between a pained grimace and a slight smile. Even as she was, Tex felt and saw the gentle smile she was given, and heard Zyra's invitation. In response, she sent a last, flickering thought, closing the connection as quickly as she'd opened it.

"Thank...you."

And then the pain of this death ended, and the pain of its aftermath began.

Elise sat there for a moment before she sat beside Zyra "..it is obvious you and I have a connection.. that much is clear.." Elise said, still not sure on whether or not she wanted to do this

When Elise spoke Zyra turned to her, a look of curiousity on her face, she had never felt this before. A human feeling... A human feeling she did not despise. She begins to wonder what more could come of this.
"Yeah..."
She then frowns as realises something, she did not want Elise to leave her side right now... So she does the first thing she thinks of to keep her there. She leans over and places and arm around her pulling herself close and resting her head on Elise.
"...What... Should we do?"

Zyra laughed once the head was detattched and simply began grinding the body to mulch and began fertilising her garden with it.

♪Well that's good,♪ Sona comments, ♪If you'd ever want to hear the full verson, just come find me. See you on the fields.♪

Sona waved goodbye to Zyra and floated out of the garden. Unknown to her, a rose seemed to have been stuck in the back of her dress as she left.

Elise blinked and looked at Zyra as the thorns laid her head on Elise.. Elise did the first thing that came to her mind and laid her head gently on Zyra's "I.. do not know.." she admitted "What I do know.. is that I like.. this... I like.. you." Elise said, the words almost foreign to her

Zyra watches as Sona leaves, noticing the rose she frowns... How did that get there?
A vine slides over and attempts to tug at the rose.

Zyra smiles, vines gently coil around the two of them.
"I.."
She stops speaking thinking it was rather clear how she felt. At first she had thought the feelings were from the human she had consumed... But now she was begining to believe they were Zyra's own feelings....
