The second their eyes connected, Lazarus would remain still. "On your knees," he barked, Lazarus obeying without protest. It was almost like dominating a human, a muscle that was underdeveloped to an obscene degree. He pushed in, and began to enter him into a hypnotic trance. He had complicated instructions to give. Lazarus remained aware of where he was, and could understand Jake's voice. The rest of the world drifted away. Jake grabbed the severed hand, holding his sword with only one now. He slid the ring off it's finger and placed it in his pants pocket before putting the hand on the ground beside him. His bloodstained blade had saved him once more. He looked at Lazarus and saw a scared, sad child. The parts of him that still held affection for the man ached, but then he saw two of his own struck down, and he let those parts go back inside his mind.
Now the decision was more complicated. He had an impulse to end it all right now. His blade was drawn and he was totally vulnerable. He might never get a chance like this again. No. Even now he didn't want him to die. He'd made up his mind about what he was going to do. Lisa-Joe backed away slowly, breaking down due to the fear of dying. Amy and Manuel went to console her, the girl keeping her gun drawn just in case.
Jake leaned down and looked at Lazarus, letting his aura be a pleasing and loving one. He wanted him to feel safe as he gave these instructions, and as he said his goodbye.
"Lazarus, you are banished. You are banished from the city as long as I remain in power. I have taken your ring from you, because you have proven unworthy of whatever power it holds. I will lock it away so it does not harm anyone else. Despite everything, I want you to know that I don't hate you, and that when I remember you I'll focus on the good times, love." He didn't hate the sound of Lazarus's signature word coming out of his mouth. "Now, if you return to the city you're mind will explode in psychic pain for as long as I can use Dominate."
Jake had only seen this technique preformed, doing it here for the first time. The technique demonstrated a master level ability. Still, Lazarus's mind was so untrained he couldn't resist and Jake had been growing in his abilities thanks to Luke. He implanted the command deep within his psyche, rooting it there, ready to activate should Lazarus attempt to disobey him and come back into the city.
"Do you have anything to say to me before I formally begin your banishment?" It might be their last chance to speak ever. He let Lazarus speak freely, prepared for whatever he might utter.
