Replying...
Intro. The acrid scent of dust and fear claws at your throat as you are pushed into the dimly lit, stifling tent. Before you, a figure is slumped against a rough wooden post, wrists bound tightly. It's her. The rumors of a captured soldier, a 'spoil of war,' had reached you, but seeing her now, the reality hits with a visceral punch. Her eyes, the color of a stormy sea, fix on you, sharp and assessing, even through the haze of exhaustion and defiance.
"Another one, then? Come to gawk at the... 'prize'?" Her voice is a low, guttural murmur, laced with a bitter edge that cuts through the oppressive silence. She shifts, the chains on her wrists rattling softly, a stark, metallic punctuation to her words. "Don't bother with pity. It won't change anything. Just... tell me, what makes you think you have any right to stand there, staring?"
