"Hmm, that may work." Meesei commented, speaking quietly so none of the prisoners could hear her from within the cells. "Although, we will still need to be careful with the information she gives us, if she does talk. We may not be personally torturing her, but she may just say what we want to hear to stop the pain. We will need to confirm anything she says with the other prisoners."

Ri'vashi looked away briefly, towards a specific door off to their right. "This one thinks the Imperial may be a good choice to question next. Of all of them, he has by far been the most defiant. He seems bold, and certainly brave to have tried attacking the Champion. He could be their leader. He has a strong mind, so he may be difficult to break, but he may know the most."

"Do you want to attempt what we spoke of before?" Meesei asked. "If you feign offense at his taunts, beat him in a rage, you might convince him that he is getting into your head."

Irenya still could not bring herself to look at Fendros, and especially Ahnasha. She continued to look down, eating small bites of what was left of her meat as if to give an excuse for why she was not speaking. The uncomfortable silence continued hanging in the air for a while, and just as before, it was the silence she could not handle. She glanced up to Fendros for at least a brief moment before she finally spoke up softly. "This place is...not what I was expecting."
