Good question. Well - - first we oughtta see what these are made of.

[ he takes one padlock in hand, feeling it - - actual metal or something imitating it?]

[ the padlock itself is actual metal but the shoes are made of faux leather. the padlock is also pretty small but like, surprisingly dense ]

Do you plan on breaking them?

Faster than findin' a key. Do you mind if I break 'em?

Mm. . . I don't really mind, but please be careful. It wouldn't be good if you hurt yourself.

I'll be fine.

[ hm, he tests at the faux leather instead, pulling a lock and seeing if the material strains. ]

[ the material is soft but it doesn't strain, firm but not brittle - if anything, it might stretch? and the lock itself doesn't come loose at all ]

[ hm

he tries to go at the fabric with a bit more force, seeing if the material can take the stretch. ]

[ it DOES start to stretch like, very very slowly, but otherwise is surprisingly durable and he'd need to like, keep the pressure up for some time to get it to give to any noticeable degree ]

... You okay if I just break these?

To be honest, it doesn't settle well with me, but the benefits far outweigh my concerns, so . . . please, go ahead.

They're nice shoes and all but ya can probably find ones you're not locked into.

[ he braces his arm, elbow bent before he aims to tear the fabric with a sharp jerk of his wrist, his free hand holding Luci's ankle so his leg doesn't move along with it. ]

[ it strains more, looking worn away with a little tear starting to form. maybe 2 or 3 of more of those would do it ]

Uwah . . .

Awright...

[ he takes a breath and repeats the motion, again, knuckles vice tight around the lock. ]

[ the leather starts to rip more, more fully now - it is just as difficult to continue ripping, and doesn't seem to get easier even with the tear, but the straps are thin enough that he's basically halfway through anyway ]

This thing is pretty goddamn stubborn.

[ grits his teeth and goes for another hard tug, maybe grabbing Luci's ankle a bit too hard to ensure he's not jerking him around too much ]

[ gripping onto his skirt's hem, watching with a little wince

It's torn! Or nearly there anyway, but you know how hems tend to be more thick and so more stubborn and the last part is always the most difficult part, it's that sort of thing. On the bright side, it's loose enough now that the shoe could likely come off completely with a strong enough tug. ]

- nngh . . .

-- Shit, sorry.

[ he lets go when Luci makes the sound, taking a hold of the shoe with both hands this time. ]

Too hard?

- It's fine. I'm alright.

[ with a little wave of his hand ]

Can it be removed now, like this?

Yeah, but I don't wanna hurt you.

I'm really alright. I'm not delicate.

Alright - -

[ he braces his hands on his shoe before moving to tug it off, firm but not rough. ]

[ bracing himself, and the shoe does take a little tugging before it comes off. did you know the blood-patterned sheer tights have blood pattern at the soles, too?

because they don't, actually. that's just blood and those are just blisters. ]

-- You were walkin' around like this?

[ in disbelief, concern, gingerly touching an ankle.]

Well - mm, I thought that it would be . . . best to get used to it, so I have been practicing trying to walk . . .

You didn't think, there's gotta be comfier shoes than this?
