"Don't you even look at her," Skellig tightens his grip. "I will make you look like a cave-in accident crushed you beneath these rocks and you will be nothing but a smear on the floor that they will step over as they keep digging."
He has about taken all the oxygen (is it even oxygen here, this deep underground?) from this guard that he can without killing him, and it is so very tempting to just snap his neck and be done with it. Drop him to the floor and then find the key (he has to have a key on him, right?) and get her out of here.
But Skellig does not snap this guard's neck. Normally when he does this, it hurts him deeply, but this instance, for some reason, it is not really bothering him all that much.
"You are worth less than the 'equipment', because you do this willingly without a collar," his grip tightens. Now the guard can't breathe, he's struggling harder as darkness creeps in around the edges. "You have no spine."
