With a wince, Bene crawls just far enough out to scoop his hand around the papers and pull them towards himself into the closet, where he quickly realigns them with one another by tapping the stack on the floor. Satisfied, he turns to place them carefully on a nearby shelf, then looks back up at Edgard with a silent nod.

Edgard frowns a little. He's not going to enjoy this. He hums to himself for a moment, thinking.

Then without warning, he kicks Benedict in the shins.

Watching him carefully, Benedict still doesn't anticipate the kick in time. He makes a sound like a yelping dog, hugging his arms around his shins to put pressure on them.

"This was a bad idea," he decides through gritted teeth.

Edgard slaps Benedict's face a little in response.

"Don't back out now." He says in a harsh, stern tone.

He slaps the other side of his face. Then Edgard takes a breath and punches Benedict in the stomach.

"Ow-- ow!!"

Already tears have begun to form in his eyes, Benedict's brain launching into distress mode at even this restrained style of violence.

"Fuck!" he manages to choke out before the punch lands, and he curls around it with a miserable groan.

"I wanna back out," he whines, holding one arm around his curled knees and the other shielding his face."
