“i have no idea what your saying but it is quite entertaining!” Bella laughed quietly to herself for a minute and then decided to start braiding small braids into her hair.

Azriel froze at the contact, cheeks heating up, before regaining her composure and falling asleep almost immediately.
(I should as well. I just… it's only like 2 am. I'm not even tired. Hnngh.)

The darkness in the cell seems to deepen as the night stretches on. The biting cold of a dying summer seeps into the stone dungeon and some prisoners fall into uncomfortable slumber. Others may not be so lucky. Guards are posted outside cell doors and locks are double-checked. The night is long but eventually, the sun shines on a new day. The characters are roused by the sounds of feet shuffling beyond their prison and muffled voices.

Arabella looked up from her hair (which was now full of tiny braids, some tight and some lose) to see where the voices came from. She looked around the cell to see others sleeping in corners and decided to help them wake up. Bella first walked over to the elf and gently shook her.

Azriel whimpered quietly in her sleep. The sounds of voices outside the cell made their way into her dream, which was now full of raging armies, dead phoenixes, and, worst of all, poisoned bread. She curled her wings righter around herself.

(Woah, that's map's wicked cool!)
At the touch, Iris leaped lightly onto her feet, eyelids snapping open, and grasped the girl's arm, encasing it with ice. Preparing to draw her sword, Iris met thin air and sighed as she recognized the girl. She sighed again, as she remembered they took her sword. "Don't. Touch. Me. When. I'm. Sleeping." Her gruff Medein crackled through the air.

"shhh! Someones coming! calm down!" In her fear of being frozen, Bella didn't realize that as she spoke, she was putting her power in them, making the elf trust her.

Without prompt, Iris's heart slowed in its pounding as she felt her breaths quickly steady out. (I don't know if that's how your power works.) "What in the world…" she mumbled, shivering already in cell. The elf snatched her hand away from the human in distrust, before cracking the ice still wrapped around her arm. Giving no apology, she adjusted her vision to the door that had opened the previous time. If they give us bread, one more time.

Arabella snatched her arm back and scurried backwards as fast as she could. She didn't notice the angel behind her as she bumped into her. why!

Azriel winced, waking up with a jolt. "What was that?" she questioned loudly, fear creeping into her voice.

"Open your eyes," Iris drawled in Brachish. "And take a wild guess."

"ohmygoshIamsososososorry! I didn't mean to bump into you I-" her Medien was interrupted as the cell door was opened and a guard loomed in the doorway. Bella pressed herself against a wall and hugged her arms against her freezing body.

Azriel blinked in annoyance at the elf, slowly registering the Brachish. "You may be the single least helpful person I've ever had the misfortune to meet, and this is coming from someone who's been thrown off the side of a mountain."

Iris leveled an unconcerned glare at the guard, a bit of expectancy in her eyes. She challenged the guard to give them bread again in her mind. Not breaking eye contact, she snorted in Brachish, "Considering you're an angel, who can fly, I'm not sure where the problem is when you're being thrown off a mountain."

"Yes, well, I was a tad incapacitated at the time," Azriel hissed, keeping her voice low as she stared at the guard.
