"How long am I staying here?" Gaiden asked, his throat still hurt from his last attempt to escape, Areia threw him in a cage so he could 'think'. It´s been days and Adrrak would guard him, for hours Gaiden tried to get any information from her, but the Pearlcatcher just kept sharpening her knife in silence.
"It´s just right that you tell me, it´s a matter of--"

"Silence! You will stay as long as our captain wishes!" Adrrak growled

"She´s not my captain, a true captain would not 'forget' to feed me, I will die"

"You fought and lost, if you have the honour you claim to have you will endure your punishment in silence" Adrrak turned her attention back to the knife she had in hands.
Gaiden laughed as he placed his face near the cage bars.

"It´s clear to me that you all share a very 'twisted' sense of honour, Areia is just as bad as you! Ignoring a man´s hunger shows your lack of morals, none of you have any idea of what honour means!"

Adrrak got up and pulled him closer to the bars, hurting his face a little, she had the knife next to his throat
"Honour is what is keeping you alive, 'rich boy' any other mercenary would have you killed for not carrying coins and making us waste time, but honour would also give me reason to kill you right now for spitting on my captain´s name! She would prize me for that, but I will give you a chance like she did, to think about your precious words and learn how fortunate you are even now..."
Adrrak pushed him back. Gaiden almost fell, but he had a good balance and just stared at her, surprised for what just happened.
Adrrak went to the box she was using as a bench and got back into sharpening her knife.
