Tish - The Big Sink

Orb smiles warmly to Josh. "Thank you. I'd been worried about doing that here, but I guess the guards can't notice everything."
Orb listens to the others introduce themselves, or others, as well as listening to Tish, with a mixture of relief and horror at what she says. "Why less appealing? What would they do?" Orb asks, not understanding the implications.
Tish waits for a moment to answer Orb's question, listening to the rest of the group rattle on about this and that. When the topic of why they're all here comes up, she giggles again -- sounding very out of place -- and rolls her eyes.
"I'm not worried about a sweet-looking girl like you. If I'm the way I am, looking how I look, and I'm innocent, then I've no doubt about you." Tish tweaks one of her sawed-off ears, noting:
"Then again, I was born innocent of my crimes." For a brief moment, her attention turns to Iannja, making an apologetic look at her blatant disregard for the other elf in the room. Perhaps everyone is not innocent, but her look seems to share an understanding of the need to be silent. Nevertheless, this is the first conversation that has started up in days and Tish isn't going to waste it.
She walks from the beneath the drain and straight to Lliend, taking a seat beside him and eyeing him with a mix of worry and happiness. Then her eyes shift to Mahk, where she grins a coy grin.
"And don't even think about it, mister. Enri'd rip your eyes out faster than you can say plum pudding." Tish nevertheless seems light-hearted about her words, more calm now.
"And Miss Orb Kafken, I think you missed the fun part of the week. My sources tell me we won't be here for long." A pleased expression meets Orb's eyes, leaving Tish's trace hints of lying... well, untraceable. Even more fantastic a thing, Tish seems amazingly relaxed next to everyone else in the cell. Perhaps, as she believes Dartan is suggesting, there are much more bad off places they could be. Her eyes return almost lovingly to Lliend:
As bad as this all seems, you have rescued me from spending my days with one worse to look at than Mahk, more ill-mannered than the Tyson, far better insane than Malaci, and drastically more obnoxious than Josh. And you sacrificed yourself all for..."... What?" Tish accidently says while staring earnestly at Lliend.
