"As you wish father." Alastair said breaking the arguments by smashing the whip on Lucy's back he got the fifteen strikes done. "I've done what you asked now that you know I can handle punishing them I'll take responsibility for the other one." Alastair said gripping the whip tighter he have himself ten lashes before handing the whip back to vlad he walked over to Lucy he was sorry for what he had to do but knew that he would be able to help the rest by doing so it was a necessary evil, He gave her his shirt, "I'd put my shirt on that way you dot have the fabric against your wounds." Alastair said putting a hand out to her.

Lucy held still, not flinching as the whip slashed her back. She looked up as Alastair came over, nodding her head before glancing around the room as if nothing had happened. She looked between Adalina and Roxy before sighing and rolling her eyes. She would have to do it herself. Slipping on her shirt, she walked over to the wall and sat next to Roxy, not letting her back touch the wall. "Hey." She sighed, rubbing the back of her neck. "You look terrible." Realizing how harsh she sounded with her voice so blank, she reverted back to a murmur. "...Does the collar hurt? Don't get me wrong, I still think you were being stupid for thinking people could choose their parents." She added, still annoyed from what Roxy had said earlier. But that didn't stop her from sitting next to someone who she could at least relate to a little rather than all the people who either din't care or claimed to know what she was talking about.
