@Nail: Oh, right. The way I read it, it seemed like Icarus was just making Rémy halt in place.
Rémy blinked and turned away from Grace.
[color=75aec5]"Yeah, I get the whole 'you're an egomaniac' thing. It's just, y'know, what goes up, must come down."[/color] Rémy said.
He turned to face Icarus, but didn't move, having realised attacking was futile. Instead, he raised both of his paws, each with two fingers ready to snap.
[color=75aec5]"You know that bullet inside you? It's magic, as you have probably worked out by now. Thing is, though, it can only take so much magic. Too much, and it explodes. It's nearing that point. Only I can deactivate it, by snapping two of my fingers together. Thing is, I have no incentive to. But you can make me, can't you?"[/color]
Rémy then grinned.
[color=75aec5]"Which is why, if you choose wrong, you will activate the other spell. The bullet's vibrations will intensify, and explode faster, and harder. Now, you might think I'm bluffing. But there's one thing you can't deny; that bullet is opening up wounds from inside you, and it's producing smoke. What do you think would happen if it ended up in one of your lungs? Or your heart?"[/color]
