[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5875455, member: 4936"] Throughout it all, the whole mortifying ordeal, Zelda is quiet. This is not to say she is uncommunicative. More than one guard feels the weight of her wide, trembling, teary eyes. Branderscar employs a tougher breed of guard than that though. At least for now. So she keeps her mouth shut, her eyes down...when they throw her forward, she stumbles and slowly, weakly gets back up. When they brand her, she cries out around her gag and sobs brokenly. She is weak, and defeated...and waiting. She records every threat, every indignity. She absorbs the vitriol and loathing. She carefully watches each guard from behind her puppy dog eyes, noting each grimace, each nervous look away...seeking and probing for a weak link in the chain. When the guards are gone, she watches and listens to the others as well. Unfortunately, none seem any more capable of escaping than she. Further, listening to their crimes, they don't seem the type to be swayed by compassion for a helpless creature. That removed one of her favorite arrows from her quiver. ...but far from her only one. But she couldn't talk, and that was the first thing she had to fix. The gag was foul-tasting and tied tightly, and its knot held her mouth open and blocked her tongue. Even so, Zelda pushed at it. She pushed with her tongue, and she scraped her teeth over it as best she could. Stretch the cloth. Work it. Abrade it. Cloth was just threads. Threads could break. Break enough, and the cloth broke. It took time...but honestly, what did she have to lose that she wouldn't lose anyway? They couldn't kill her [i]twice.[/i] [/QUOTE]
