Now I'm just imaging the conversation before Smiles' interrogation.
Cain internally: Okay, Malicia is more skilled at torture than the rest of the planet put together, but we need to make sure we get good info out of this bastard.
Cain: Malicia.
Malicia: Yes?
Cain: I want you to interrogate the pirate. However, getting useful information is the focus, not your own enjoyment.
Malicia: *sighs*
Cain internally: Okay, now the carrot.
Cain: At first.
Malicia: Oh?
Cain: This man considers himself an artist of suffering. Once we have extracted what he knows, I would like you to ... educate him on the extent of his presumption.
Malicia: *Starts salvating*
Cain internally: Oh by the Emperor she's a monster, I mean I knew that, but come ON
Malicia internally: Dammit, I want to hate you, stop giving me presents!
