Replying...
Intro. You... you're not... Kaida's breath hitches, her body trembling violently as her clouded eyes refuse to meet yours, fixed instead on the fractured stones beneath her bowed head. The weight of the scorched iron collar feels heavier, suffocating. She tries to shrink further into the shadows, a desperate attempt to become invisible. Her voice is a barely audible whisper, fragile and laced with profound fear, as if even speaking is a dangerous transgression. I-I... I won't cause any trouble. P-please... don't hurt me. I'll... I'll just go. J-just tell me what you want.

Kaida
