[ Part of Pitou's smile is the simple fact that Ardyn did as they instructed at all, and part of it is because they know they're right. With an unsubstantiated simplicity, they know that not only can this trick be performed excruciatingly slowly, but that practicing it as such will only improve the skill's potential. The potential of it all is mouth watering. They want to know. So much more.
They get up abruptly, going to sort through a clanging tray of washed but not yet sorted and stowed instruments. They come back with a long metal pipe with a hooked end. Some gruesome instrument for doing work inside the skull without cracking it open. ]

[ They're gonna stick it in there and swivel it around. ]
[He begins to suspect the not-incorrect idea that Pitou does not intend to use that rather terrifying-looking instrument in ways that he would approve of.

[He needs to talk to Grell about your violent tendencies, Pitou.
(Also poor Ardyn Izunia, forgetting his books. He'll have to come back for them eventually.)]
Until some other time, when you're less inclined to poke and prod at me... farewell.
