((OOC: Mmkai.))
Silence had reigned for the past several hours, and it was getting to the point where even Curiosity, keyed up as he was, was completely exhausted. Reticence seemed unaffected by the passage of time - he remained silent and aware, staring at the door as though willing the missing girl to come through it.
"You should probably go to bed, Maxy," said Curiosity at last, softly, sounding almost...resigned. "If she isn't back yet, she won't be until tomorrow. And she might go to her...to your room first. Someone should be there."
Whether she would take him up on it or not, he didn't know, but he knew he wouldn't have been able to if he were her. It was hard enough just to wait with three of them there. To separate from the group and try to wait patiently while waiting alone?
He could never do it.
But he thought he would give Maxy the option.

Curiosity nodded his assent, and they remained silent for some time.
After about half an hour, Reticence abruptly rose and left the room, and Curiosity went pale. "I...no. No."
The dark-haired boy had vanished, leaving Maxy and Curiosity alone. Maxy, if she was paying attention, might have heard a faint whisper in the back of her mind.
Reticence, I require you.
Reticence, as Curiosity well knew, was called for only when either another slave had crumpled beneath the strain of an experiment, or else...someone unquestioningly loyal was required for cleanup.
Either way, the chances for Naïveté's return, unharmed, had just gone dramatically down.

((OOC: Aww. Also, you should PM me the name we chose for her, if you remember it - I forgot it, and I want to introduce it soon.))
Curiosity looked confused and surprised when Maxy suddenly hugged him. Tentatively, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and let her cry on him. He wasn't used to being the stoic supporter - that was Reticence's job. But seeing as the other boy had taken such a fierce dislike to Maxy, Curiosity suspected he would be taking over that role a lot more often in the future.
When her mood changed so abruptly, Curiosity was rendered silent for a good few seconds. Then he simply shrugged. "Pain tolerance, mental and physical. The range of emotion. The range of mental abilities. Sensory experimentation. Pretty much anything you can think of. He tailors them to us so that the one who can teach him the most about a subject is the one who gets that experiment. Usually, anyway." He looked brooding for a second. "There's no way to tell what he'll do with yours until you've actually been in one."
Quietly, he said, "Don't worry about it. The master will get to you soon enough, and until then, you'll get worse the more you think about it."

The idea of such amounts of pain made her skin shiver and she blinked when he told her not to think about it, she sighed, "I guess I can't take over her experiments, huh?" she shook her head.
Looking up, Maxy admitted a little sheepishly, "I'm a masochist." She thought over what he said. Honestly, except for the mental stuff, it sounded like ecstasy to her.
She still hung on Curiosity like he was a Teddy bear, and watched the door, "Now the Reticence has gone to help... How much longer, do you think?"
((Honesty? Compassion? Somethin of the sort, you can pick whatever you like, I really don't mind))
