*Hardly notices the odd way his darling Sebastian addresses him, the pain from the cuff overriding his thoughts for a quick moment.*
M'fine.
*His heart sinks into his Dragon's Hide shoes as he listens to Eruptatt's words, his brilliant green eyes flicking between the cuff on his wrist and his boyfriend. Disbelief washes over the wizard as he realizes that they might have to hurt each other.*
Nor I...
*His words trail off as suddenly the thought occurs to him that if the maze led Sebastian to him, then their new relationship might've been figured out, each others key is within the other after all. Worry now overcomes Zero as he believes they have been found out, and he looks again to Sebastian. How can he tell his love that they have to be very discreet about their feelings for each other while trapped in Voldemort's grasp.*
Sebastian, my l- fr-friend, are you alright?
*First and foremost, Zero is concerned with Sebastian's well being, and hopes he isn't in too much pain.*

*Struggles and twists himself against the shackles, which only makes the pain worse because he is unwittingly rubbing the metal from the key and the cuffs together.*
*Groans melodramatically.*
You don't look fine. You've got tired eyes, my friend.
*Stubbornly continues to squirm, somehow making his struggles look casual at times, at other times looking like a child swimming against an overwhelming tide.*
*Stops moving for a second, long enough to make eye contact with Zero, teeth gritting as he looks down at his left arm, the same arm with the lurid Dark Mark he was so proud of. He was definitely regretting his stupidity as he felt the pain course through him.*
It hurts like blazes... I don't think I should have fought the binding. I'm idiotic, don't mind me. We'll think ourselves out of this hellish situation. Together, right?
*Sebastian's honey-brown eyes lock onto Zero's, silently conveying the despair he feels because he realises what has to be done. Both of them had to be hurt and the first man out would have to inflict certain pain.*

*Putting up a brave front, Zero smiles to Sebastian, shaking his head.*
Not tired, no. Just mildly annoyed right now, dear friend.
*Every time Sebastian struggles with the shackle, Zero winces, knowing it hurts. His does too, but fighting it will only make it worse.*
Sebastian, calm down some. You'll tear away pre...ahem...your skin.
*As he says these words he unthinkingly struggles against his shackle, wanting to move to his boyfriend. Sucks in a jagged breath through his teeth as a stabbing flash of a pain drills his wrist, the key digging into his own skin.*
Y- yes, together...
*Mirrors Sebastian's expression, the same thought running through his mind. Zero inwardly shudders at the thought of marring pure perfection, his very being cowers away from causing Sebastian any pain.*
*Knowing what has to be done he hardens his eyes, and his spine as he looks deep into the wizard's chocolate brown eyes, wanting him to know that the words he's about to say are sincere.*
Let's get your key first.

*Raises a dubious eyebrow.*
I know you better than that. You're positively drained. I must ask you to conserve your boundless energy, most cherished -
*Cuts himself off, gaze turning from wall to wall, too afraid to continue due to the possibility of any monitoring by the Dark Lord or other Death Eaters. Knowing that they are probably being watched and he cannot express his feelings only enrages the young, rash wizard.*
Oh, bother! I don't want to play anymore!
*Tugs violently on the shackle, literally hearing the agony as the metal crashes against metal, whirling to remain on his feet from the pain. Blood soon trickles down his forearm from the blow of the two metals. Finally Sebastian sinks against the wall, still after minutes of constant motion, looking worn and weary as he faces Zero, trying to remain as calm as his impatient nature allows.*
No, no. I don't want you scarring for my sake. I'm already cut...
*Whispers, the darker part in Sebastian half-hoping Zero will insist on retrieving the key first anyway.*
You always have this infallible goodness in you. Let me do one purely selfless deed in my selfish, spoiled life, dear friend. Please.

*He has a look of awe on his face as Rodolphus completes his task.*
Wow. You made that look easy!
*Quite pleased with his luck of meeting someone able to escape the labyrinth, he follows him out.*

A light, tiny touch was all he wanted.* Zero, don't move. It'll hurt like hell. *Sebastian's heart twists painfully at watching his boyfriend's own struggles, half yearning to cut out Zero's key first, right here and now before the wizard can protest. However, the ever-present pain takes him back to reality, blood still trickling down his left arm.* Oh, sweet English soul, you're far too gracious about what I've done for you. I've scarcely done a thing. *Keeps his gaze securely on Zero, heart fluttering at the emotion he sees within the man's gorgeous green eyes. In some ways Sebastian believes he cannot deserve such affection.* Do stop being so damn nice...*Lowers eyes, not wishing to watch Zero hurt himself.*

*Strangely, Zero chuckles at his boyfriend's words. This isn't a matter of being nice, Zero cannot bear the thought of Sebastian locked up here in this twisted game.*
*Not exactly keen on what he's about to do, Zero raises his wand, pointing the tip at the front side of his wrist. He knows this is going to hurt more than he can fathom, but it's necessary, obviously. Figures the key is just under the cuff, and it just needs a bit of lubrication to break the friction to slip out more easily. Quickly he glances to Sebastian, and pulls his lips up into a crooked grin, wand shaking slightly in his hand.*
Right. Well...here goes.
*Bites his bottom lip, lowering his line of vision to his tattooed wrist, and he begins to mentally encourage himself, thinking, For Sebastian, anything. Quickly he drags in a deep breath, braces himself, and simply says.::
Diffindo.
*The Severing Charm hits his arm with blinding pain, cutting open the skin on his forearm, and he sucks in a ragged breath, nearly doubling over in pain. His body reflexes against the agony, pulling the shackle violently, the metal once again squelching as it meets metal. Unable to hold back, Zero drops to his knees, the pain from the deep cut, and key rubbing his arm raw is nearly too much to take.*
*On his knees his head hangs, face covered by black locks of hair, and an angry growl begins to rumble deep within his chest. Instead of succumbing to the pain he reacts with anger, causing his blood to boil as it begins to flow freely down over the cuff of the shackle, the back of his pale hand, and drips onto the ground below. Slowly the growl begins to grow, and he pushes himself to his feet, lifting his fury filled eyes to the man he cares so much for.*
*Snarls softly.*
Just another mo' if you please, m- my dear friend.
*Forcing himself to show a calm rage, Zero places his wand into his pocket, and then begins to wrench the cuff again. The effects of his blood oozing under the metal are working nicely, and he continues to work at it for a moment, sucking in a breath whenever the metal catches his skin.*
*Finally, Zero has managed to work the key out from under the shackle's cuff, and he begins to chuckle madly, holding it between bloodied fingers for Sebastian to see.*
Aha! There we are.

~~Jolie Fier~~~~As Jolie puts the clock into the bin, the writing on the parchment changes.~~ I begin with T, I end in T, I have T in me. What am I? *Reads the riddle and contemplates it for a few moments. Perhaps the "T"s aren't all literal. She reads the parchment aloud, hoping that hearing it will help her better understand it. Then it hits her.* A teapot. *She removes the teapot from the box and places it in the bin beside the clock.*

*Forces his ever-curious gaze downward, away from the beautiful, hurting wizard across from him, knowing that the sight will only tear at his heartstrings. Despite his attempts to not know, Sebastian hears Zero gasp, growl, and groan in evident pain, the sounds ringing through his ears.*
*Keeps his head down as he hears the metal screeching, hardly daring to imagine the horrific sight. He could not fathom his beautiful, flawless boy with any imperfection.*
*Thinks.*
You're infinitely better than I, precious boy.
*Finally Sebastian raises his chocolate-brown eyes, squinting so Zero appears somewhat blurry, still seeing the crimson on the wizard's hands and gasping. Fighting down an emotional outburst he stares in awe at his boyfriend.*
*Mutters.*
Merlin, come here, I'm quivering for you. I'm trying my best not to look, I really am.
*Again, looks down at his left arm which is bleeding more liberally, some dripping onto the floor and his expensive dragonhide boots. He focuses on Zero once more, trying to ignore the light-headed sensation creeping through his entire form.*
*Weakly.*
Zero... need you...
