Ralsis supressed a laugh. "Sister? Not in the least. She's just an friend. Though now that you mention it," he added, placing a hand at his chin, "She and I do seem to have a few traits in common...Hm. Anyway, you'll have to forgive her behavior, she's had a rough week."
A thought occured to him. "One moment." He walked over to an intercom on the wall and used it, announcing, "Aiman, if you've recovered can you go check on Pit? Much appreciated."

Aiman's groans could be heard as the intercom went off. She could at least move a little now- tense as her body was.
-----
Mary tilted her head. "Is Pit your friend, mister?" Feeling an itch, she scratched at the scar across her nose, not damaging the stitches attached. Not long afterward, she had a tiny nosebleed. Nothing serious- she got them commonly after using her magnetic powers, though stronger if she's upside down using them.
Rubbing the base of her nose, she gasped. "Oops... Mo-I mean, ms. Illheart told me not to use my powers so much..."

"Pit is a guest," Ralsis lied as he turned to face Mary. "However, there was a bit of a mishap and he was injured. My associate Aiman and I are caring for him at the moment."

Mary just looked at him curiously. "...so why do you have this?" she asked, putting the bomb in her hands back into plain sight. No-one who used a bomb could possibly be a good person, unless you were talking about that helmeted guy from the show Frankie watches with subtitles. And the games she plays.
The way she saw it, he was a bad liar.

"Ah, yes, that." Ralsis' expression didn't change. "I believe that was here in the lab when we arrived. As for why that's there, I'm assuming that the previous occupant had something to do with it. I've been finding dead explosives all morning. One was in the toilet."
Dark Pit tensed as he heard movement behind the door.
Probably that piece of garbage coming to mock me again, he thought. Or maybe that girl who was with him...
Maybe I can work this to my advantage if it's the latter.

Mary Wasn't buying it. Her tense stare just grew tenser by the moment. "...Okay!" she cheered with glee, electricity running through her palms. Without much added warning, the bomb activated, the timer set to just a measely 10 seconds.
The whole time, she just stared at it, watching the timer slowly go down... until right when it hit 1, when she slung it at Ralsis.
----------
There was a coming knock at the door, an unfamiliar voice on the other side. "Hello? Are you still in there, Pit?" Aiman asked, opening the door and turning on the light. Pit didn't get to see the little girl from before- No, he instead saw a grown woman, checking on him. "My, aren't you a devastating little welp," she chuckled, looking at his face. "Still have nothing to say?"

Ralsis made no move to dodge the explosive.
It hit him right in the face.
Once it fell to the floor, they both stared at it. The timer was stuck at 1.
Ralsis looked up at Mary.
"Well, that was rude."
Dark Pit was rather puzzled to see her. It took him a moment to realize that it was Aiman.
Must be magic.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"I saw how you acted with that woman in pink earlier. You're the sadistic type, aren't you? You enjoy hurting people for your own amusement. Well..." He leaned forward. "What if I could get you all the victims you want?"

Mary stared at it puzzled. She knew she activated it... "...how?" she asked, wiping the blood from her nose.
----------
Aiman shot him a glance. "Are you trying to pull something with me?" She walked over to him and looked at him eye to eye. "You're not going to get me anyone to mercilessly kill in your position, mister."

Ralsis was a firm believer of being well prepared.
As in, REALLY well prepared.
He had started by placing fake bombs all over the lab in case someone attempted to tamper with them. The REAL bombs had been placed elsewhere and were programmed to become instant duds if they were tampered in ANY possible way. The BACKUP explosives were extremely tiny and were invisible and undetectable to anyone but himself due to the use of special pheromones. The detonator was kept on his person at all times and could only be used if he himself pressed the button and would become useless if anyone else tried, and if THAT failed, he also kept a tiny chip implanted...somewhere in his body that could activate the explosives with a mental command.
It had taken a lot of time, effort and theft to pull all of this off. It was actually somewhat scary. Not to mention completely unfair, but Ralsis was taking NO chances.
Ralsis shrugged. "I did say dead explosives. Maybe only the timer worked."

Mary looked at it. Her squinched face said she knew better, but she was told a long while ago something important...
"Be careful, Mary. There are people who can use that powerful brain of yours to their advantage. Even if you know someone's pulling the wool over your eyes, you need to keep your mouth shut. People don't like it when their plans fail from the get go, so stay hushed. Understand?"
"Yeah... it was probably custom made to look fa-" she covered her mouth.
Smoooooooth.

Ralsis latched onto the slip like a leech. "I'm sorry, what was that?" he asked smoothly.
"Just hear me out," said Dark Pit.
I really hope she's as stupid as she looks.
"I'm a servant of a goddess. Didn't know that? You do now. And she's the kind of person who prefers...sacrifices every now and then. Human ones."
It sounded so far from what Palutena was like that he had to suppress the urge to laugh at how ridiculous it was and wretch at the idea that he was anyone's servant. Still, desperate times...
"I don't see why we can't make some arrangements," he continued. "She's pretty fond of me, and I doubt she'd want me hurt."
He wasn't entirely sure about Palutena's opinion on him, to be honest. True, she was a strong advocate of getting rid of him in the beginning, but she was certainly a lot more tolerant of him these days.
He could also imagine her reaction to what he was saying about her.
...best not to mention this after he escaped...

Mary's eyes visibly shrunk in her head. "...fa... Falsely proper! Maybe it was worked to look right, but the guy who made it wanted it to be a dud!" She giggled a little, hoping he bought it. ...which probably wasn't likely.
----------
"Sacrifices?" Aiman's voice sounded dumbstruck. She was honestly unaware of this... So unaware a sickening smile latched onto her face. "Arrangements... hmm... Sounds interesting enough..."
An energy chain was suddenly visible on her arm. "Tell me more."

Oh, he could practically hear Palutena scream in outrage from here.
"It's simple enough," he continued. "She's a very...generous woman. She's the kind of person who wouldn't mind handing over a few potential sacrifices in exchange for the health and safety of one of her servants."
Saying the word 'servants' nearly made him puke, but he endured it.
"And who knows? Maybe she can have something extra for you. You never know..." He shifted a little. "But you'd have to help me first."

Aiman looked him right in the eye, up close. "You know, I'm surprised you didn't tell Ralsis about these possible arrangements... But then, he's not the violent type. Not to my knowledge, at least." The chain manefested around her arm spun out like a snake, curling around Dark Pit's shackles.
The energy tip seemed ready to slit his throat, but instead cut his chains, releasing him from his prison. If only in part. She placed a foot on his back once he fell. "Don't think I'm letting you go easily, Pit. Escaping is near impossible in this area, you realize."

Dark Pit did his best not to wince as the chains were cut. Well, at least she's buying it OOF.
Her planting her foot onto his wounded back was unexpected. He ignored the pain and looked up at her, smirking. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Now, if you could let me up..."
Slow and steady, Dark. You don't want to screw this up. Just wait until she gets you close to an exit...assuming she lets you out of the cell instead of leaving you here for whatever reason.
