"It can take off limbs if you're not careful," he went on, glancing over at Billy. "I'm not sure how different you are in this form in terms of bone and skin but I've seen her whip go through Greater Demons before and slice them like they're butter."

He paused and added, "Not that I want her to cut off your arms or anything. It might be a good test for you for flexibility and agility if anything."
