I'm just looking for anything of interest. I'll put it all back.
[The only runes on the sword he could parse are the simple ones about directing the magic itself, not anything about its functions. So, true to his word, he returns it to the belt. At the shuffle and the groan Niles' ears prick up and his tail begins to swipe side to side. He shifts to brace one foot on the ground, and kneel on Jin's chest with his other leg, anticipating some more thrashing to start in a few minutes.
But then L is reaching for the gag, panic in his voice, and Niles swats L's hand away. He swings his tail around, placing the bulb on the prone man's neck, the sharpened hook of the stinger hovering menacingly over his face. He's not out of venom, but he's close. The cultists had milked him daily while there, and it's soon enough after that his body hasn't produced much more. He could kill a fox, with what he's got, (he could probably kill L, the man is a whole 90 pounds), but it's certainly not enough to do anything to Jin other than perhaps give him heart palpitations and a raging erection. But he's the only one who knows that for now.]
