Sashi can practically see him tucking the information away for future use.<br/><br/><br/>Altid is in the process of packing a sweet-smelling herb under Sashi's bonds when Jazyk gives a  sharp tug on her chain, bringing her stumbling back to his side. He fishes in his belt pouch and extracts a handful of gold coins, then counts them twice before handing them to the healer.<br/><br/>"Your payment," he grumbles. "See to it that this reaches Lev's coffers, or it'll come out of your flesh."<br/><br/>"Yes, master Jazyk." Altid dutifully accepts the proffered coins and disappears out the door.<br/><br/><br/>"Nise laydee," Greth comments, staring down the hall. Jazyk ignores him and returns his attention to Sashi.

I'm afraid the morning meal is over, but I'll see if the kitchens can prepare something suited to your tastes.

Greth follows wordlessly, pulling the door shut with a soft thump followed by the click of the lock.<br/><br/>And with that, Sashi is alone in once again, the room dark and quiet save for the small sputtering lamp above... And a faint green glow from beneath her shackles...<br/><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><span style="color: brown"><span style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Status]</span></span></span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sashi:</span> HP: 105/105 (100%)   [AC: 16 (+3 natural armor, +3 dex)]   <span style="font-style: italic">18 non-lethal damage, shackled</span>(?)</span></div></div></div>
