Noelle wish she could say that she was a strong woman, but after the third lash the tears started to flow. Sure, at first it didn't hurt as badly as Noelle thought. But she wasn't like some of the others who were built to take on punishment with their bodies. Soon she could feel the welts forming on her back and the best she could do was just bite down and try not to cry to loudly. Notably, the tenth lash went right down her spine, which caused Noelle to cry out and loosen her bowels. She thought Sharee has severed her spine. By the time Sharee was done and untied Noelle, she collapsed onto the ground. The pain was unbearable. Noelle wanted to do nothing more than to curl into a small ball and cry, but she tried to save face. She got onto all fours before her recruits walked up to her, hesitant to help Noelle after the captain just whipped her. "Go. Go! Just... Just get back to work!" She snarled at them as she struggled to her feet. Noelle cast a spell on her to numb the pain, though she'll need to head back to the infirmary to do a full recover. But Noelle didn't leave. She wrapped her arms around herself, suddenly feeling very cold, before looking at the captain. She wanted to ask if it was over, but Noelle feared what would happen if Sharee told her there was more.
