Darian looks at Ru intently through tear-stained eyes one last time to assure him that all is well. Ru breaks eye contact and heads out, blinking madly--it feels like something got in his eye. It passes quickly, though. Must have been an extra eyelash.The door is closed behind the party with a THUNK. <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/345975603_1c75b9f3a1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> The party leaves Marionette's cell behind. Mogson meets up with the Rose Company, leading them to Alek's cell. "So... Darian's not coming? I--no, I won't ask. Not my place, not my concern."The cell door is opened. Inside, the cell grows white. Alek lounges on the floor, atop a fluffy white cottony pillow. The floor beneath him, and the walls nearby are streaked with white, as if a lily-colored lichen advances from Alek, growing slowly. Mogson shakes his head and quickly excuses himself again.Alek speaks. "Ah! Gentlemen! Please, come in, pull up a chair and sit down!" Of course, there are no chairs in the cell. There should not even be the pillow, or the white. "What? Oh, Darian is not joining us? Oh, dear, I suppose he needs to be with Marionette right now. I must admit, it's an interesting choice. For most people, Marionette isn't their favorite. Sasha's a clever seductress, and Kitten's always eager to please, but Marionette usually wants to be left alone."*     *     *THUNK.As Darian watches the door close, Marionette scrambles into the corner. She looks at her arm, where the blood was drawn, and tries to wipe it away. With only chains for hands and a keyhole for a mouth, however, all she manages to do is to smear the blood further across her arms and face. She cowers and whimpers in the corner, not even daring to look at Darian.*     *     *"Ah, well, I'm sure she's in good hands."With a pause he adds, "Oh, by the way, Torhan, how is Sasha? Are you keeping your love down here, where others won't see it?"[sblock=ooc]Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/puggirl365/345975603/" target="_blank">puggirl365</a> of the dungeons of Warwick Castle.[/sblock]</blockquote>
