 Post 2 Removing Shell Pt. 2
She sat the pod back on the table and stretched her fingers in her gloves before trying again. Her hazel eyes sized up the pod, looking for weaknesses in its structure, possible soft spots, anything that might make it easier for her bust it open. She wasn't all that strong, so logic would be her weapon.
It looks like there's a small fracture right abouuut....there, she thought and pressed her thumb firmly into the shell. And as she suspected, it dented at her touch. Excellent, she thought, grinning and worked her fingers into the cavern she'd created in the shell. She pulled piece by tiny piece until it was large enough to grip. Once she had a better hold on the thing, she pulled with all might - and POP! Her hand flew back with a large piece of the shell along with it - and went straight into her own mouth, hitting her lips forcefully into her teeth. "Oomf!" was all the let escape from her now aching and swollen lips. Her eyes darted around the room, hoping no one had seen that tiny disaster and she tried to suck the blood from where her teeth had cut her lips.
So much for brain power, Eliza. She felt her cheeks grow hot and her eyes getting a little wet, but she sucked in a deep breath and pushed forward. Surely her lips would be puffing up by this point, but she tried to act normal. Who needs botox when you can just be a complete idiot and punch yourself in the face by accident?
She sighed and easily removed the remaining parts of the shell, which were loosened by that final blow.
