Blue flinched from the sharp pain in her throat. It caused another groan from the pain in her side that the movement had awakened. So, what she learned was... don’t poke the beast. She closed her eyes and held still, not wanting to suddenly jerk and have the blade go further into her throat. Then that would be the end of Blue.<br/><br/>Lex’s panic might have been flattering, if she wasn’t possibly seconds from death. She tried to remain calm, though her fingers clutched at the chains of her handcuffs as the two men spoke. Did Elias really have to hold that thing so damn close whilst they spoke?!<br/><br/>It was a relief when he finally sheathed the knife, and Blue let out a breath she hadn’t realised she’d been holding. Her shoulders relaxed, but only for the briefest of moments, because as soon as the knife left her throat, hands clung onto her shoulders.<br/><br/>So now he was behind her, staring at Lex.<br/><br/>Wait a minute... that was it. Elias was _behind_ her and focused on Lex.<br/><br/>Blue looked at her friend, glancing down at her hands as she let them relax as close to her lap as they would hang. She began to twist her right wrist slowly - she didn’t want to alert Elias by creating any movement in her shoulder. The good thing was her hands were small. Small enough that with a bit of time, she could slip them out of the cuffs and have them be free.<br/><br/>She continued to work until one of her wrists slipped out. The metal grazed her skin but at this point, she didn’t care. She was careful to ensure her hand was in the same place as if she was cuffed - she didn’t want to give herself away to Elias.<br/><br/>Green eyes glanced back at Lex, widening slightly in the hopes he’d read her mind.<span style="font-style: italic">Keep him distracted.
