Shae couldn’t help but feel irritated by his words and actions. She was the Reaper in this scenario, and he, as her lowly apprentice, ought to have listened. After all, she was the one who had the power over his life - or survival, as she might say. What was his name again? She didn’t quite recall, but it sounded something like Fain. And only a human as vain as him would dare to keep a reaper waiting.
With a frown, she addressed him again, ignoring the doctors as though they were naught but bugs. “So, little pet,” she intoned in a monotone, “who gave you the slightest hint that I would care about the reactions of these humans?” She looked at the silver bracelet on her wrist and its matching twin on the wrist of her pet. Tilting her head to the side, she grasped it with a hand and held it softly in her hand. “I don’t have the time to waste on dealing with such a task. If you don’t wish to leave immediately, then so be it.” He was just a hindrance after all - she could use his refusal to justify breaking the chain and sending him on as a spirit. Shae really didn’t feel like having to deal with the idiocy of humans at the moment.
She stepped backwards again, affixing her rebelliously annoying apprentice with a stare. Why had she decided to get one in the first place? “Just realize that these poor humans will most likely go into the same type of confusion that you originally mentioned, as you would be going into the Spirit World - I’m sure that you understand what I mean.” Then, turning on the ball of her foot, she turned her back to the boy.
Stepping forward, she ignored him. After this, she would be able to return to the Spirit World, which lacked these boring, monotonous humans. He didn’t have to follow her - but she knew that should she not sense that he was there dogging her steps like an apprentice was supposed to, she would remove him from the picture. She didn’t need an apprentice all that much either. Her fingers found the link that connected each other together and started to toy with the almost handcuff-esque bracelet. Shae felt a shudder go down her back from the disgust at being tied to someone else. Her smooth step faltered, and she halted, waiting. Would he come or not?
