The creak had sounded and while she had her back turned, the young heiress calmly stood up, head held regally as she glared at the unfortunate thief who was dumb enough to stay behind. Her things were missing, and most importantly, she did not take kindly to perverts, or bandits for the matter. As the brunette neared, she saw the man stare right at her, struggling to break free. "I-I'll never speak!" He snarled, although looking just as frightened as a wee mouse in a lion's den.
For the record, the man did struggle, but obviously, was in too much pain to make himself invisible, or whatever the hell he was trying to so. Unfortunately, Constantine wasn't in a good mood. She gently tapped Shibata on the arm, silently telling him to ease up. Then, she unceremoniously kicked the bastard, forcing him on his stomach as she stepped on the back of his head. Outside the man's line of vision, she motioned for her teammate to cover his ears, so that at least, he wouldn't be too taken in by the spell.
Two magic circles glowed above and below her, the pulsing magenta swirling softly as a glass instrument hovered just inches beneath her fingers. The glass was intricately designed, and for those who were unfamiliar of an armonica, it was indeed a sight that wouldv'e spoken of elegance had Constantine's eyes not burned with murderous intent. The bandit struggled, but the brunette just smirked in return. Her fingers gently touched the cool surface before music filled the air.
She didn't know how bad Shibata was handling her Pesante, since she did warn him to cover his ears, but the effect on the man was immediate. As the first note lingered in the air, he began screaming, trying to get away from Constantine, only succeeding in smashing his face against the floor multiple times. She kept playiong as he began to spout apologies and gibberish, screaming profanities all the while. The girl swore the man was already peeing himself, before he stilled, head rolling limply to the side as he twitched, sobbing in defeat. That gave enough time for Constantine to see his eyes. The scleras had turned a shade of yellow-gold, the pupils purple. She snickered again, hitting a note wrong on purpose, just to see the man twitch grotesquely.
Maddening torture probably. She wondered what he was seeing. Finally feeling pity for her victim, the song shifted, and a sweet melody began to play. All at once, the terror left the man's face, followed by confusion, then a content smile. Stopping the song abruptly, the girl stepped aside, watching the dazed man blink the haze out of his eyes, before looking up at Constantine with complete and utter fear. She smirked and nudged Shibata once more, as if saying Your call. I'm done here.
