Call it what you want [P, NK]

Brazen. What the girl performed was very brazen, Xyxer acknowledged as he flew backwards in a small jump from the concussive force, sliding back on his heels roughly two metres from the girl, observing as she.. Expertly cut her bindings, minding her legs like a very good slave, and damaged herself. It was good to see that Tengakure's Shinobi had became so domesticated they beat themselves up during spars. It was nice to see a village for Emos. Chuckling somewhat, he pushed his body towards her, shifting his iron foot to her throat to turn her over, his cold metal resting delicately on her larynx. "How did she die, talented shinobi? Is that a skill you learnt from her? Perhaps her very own Houdini move?"

After turning her over, the man would put his metal encased boot on her throat demanding to answer about Yozora's death. Youta's hands moved quickly, or at least her left hand, while the right one would take some time, but eventually both would arrive at her throat and hold his boot. It was automatic, she knew it would do little good if he decided to actually push it down. Through pain she would reply. "Nobody knows exactly... they say it was some sickness... killed people on the spot. Somebody I know lost his sensei to it as well." She would try not to struggle, because she was still bleeding, although it has mostly stopped, but better not to reopen the wounds.

The girl was still not broken, which did anger him somewhat. However, Xyxer had noticed something.. off about this village. Most of the talented shinobi that come here, do not tend to leave. They tend to die within it's walls.. Rin was one.. now, Yozora. How weird, the boy noted. Applying more pressure as if to move her hand, he snarled down at her. "Accept defeat, cur. You only prolong your suffering."

Frowning with pain Youta would gasp for air as the foot was pressing down her throat. "What is there beyond defeat that I would want to accept?" she would whisper.

"Death. Your hands are still grasping my foot, as if you think that can prevent the inevitable." He frowned, ultimately attempting to get her to literally let go.

If he meant to torture her to death, then desiring death was a possibility. However, despite her hands grasping his foot, they had little strength to hold him off and were short of saving her. If the man wanted to end it, he could have long ago.
The problem here was that she wasn't actually holding his foot. Her hands were more like between her throat and the boot. And she did not have the strength to move them away just for the gesture.
"Why wait then, if you can just end it?"

Somewhat angered that he had not been able to force her to accept her death, he decided that he would have better chance at doing so when he tricks the girl into a full out spar. Then, he noted, it would be fun to see her bleed and, in so much pain, she can not raise her hands to her throat. For now, however, that was merely a fantasy.

"Because, I see the potential for great things in you, and I plan on utilising you as one of my weapons."

Youta was confused by the man's response. It may have meant that he was willing to let her go, but he could also have wanted to use her like some tool, in some other sense, where she would cease to be herself.
"What the hell do you want from me?" She would say with trouble, as his foot was still on her throat.

Moving his heavy foot off from her tender throat, he planted it firmly next to himself while the abyss stared down upon her, uttering a few commanding words, "Stand, it's hard to take a bag made out of flesh and bone seriously when it's dilly dallying on the ground, and when you're more.. equipped, I'll find you again." And with that, Xyxer simply spun around and walked off as if nothing ever happened. A real cold ass guy.

And then he left, just like that. It was somewhat confusing, but Youta would take it. For a while she would just lay there, motionless, simply breathing. After a while she would start moving, cutting the vines that bound her feet and crawling out of the bloody dirt in which she had fallen. Somehow she managed to get outside of the training area, where somebody found her and helped her to the hospital, where her injuries were treated. They even gathered her equipment for her. It was really nice of them.
