"How strange that you think I know." Long limbs bore the gray woman off the floor as a thousand tiny, scratching legs swarmed up over the girl. Their limbs dug at the webbing to shred it quickly and abandon its tatters across the floor, and the sharp tips pressed lightly along the entirety of Severity's body as she was freed to leave tiny lines crossing her skin.

Severity shuddered, feeling their legs like so many little pinpricks. Once released, she didn't even try to escape from Steel.

As one, the swarm turned and fled from their shifting perches across the girl's body, leaving her once more naked on the cold floor. The gray woman stood back, slowly looking her over piteously, with arms folded under he chest.

Severity watced Steel silently, wondering what she would end up doing next.

Steel shrugged and strode quickly across the large chamber. Her hand latched hard on the door and flung it open. She took two steps aside and looked back at the girl on the floor coldly.

She quickly realized what was expected of her, and got to her feet. HEr legs were still somewhat numb, which made walking a challenge, but she managed to make it to the door.

The door slammed hard of its own volition the moment before doing so would have struck the girl. "Before you go, recount for me what you have learned this night. If your studies have been remiss, you stay."

She flinched as the door slammed. "I... I learned that I should pass in my homework on time," she said, her mouth dry.

"And what else, bitch?" A gray hand slid into the vest and came back with a smooth crop in its grasp. "Surely you've learned more about yourself than that you're a poor student."

Severity watched her. "I learned what a slut I am," she said quickly.

"And how much of a slut are you, hm?" The empty hand pulled lightly at the handle of the door, promising escape if she was satisfied with the answer.

"I'm a total slut, ma'am," she said. "I'd put out for anything or anyone..."

The door swung open before the girl. "Good. Now go practice what you've learned." She smiled, remembering suddenly that Severity was almost certainly lost in the catacombs and that her clothes were abandoned a number of floors above.

She stepped out, before stopping in her tracks. "Wait- where are we?" she asked quietly.

The only answer she received was the echo of the door slamming hard behind her to leave her alone in the cool passageway.
