Maryne was almost succumbing to exhaustion when she heard the sounds of the girl (Kira) in the cell next to her being dragged back in. She looked up slowly, watching. The girl looked like hell. Whatever they'd done to her, it hadn't been pleasant. Maryne wasn't a particularly sympathetic person, but the girl's crying wrenched at her; she could only imagine what had been done to her.<em>It'll probably happen to me, soon,</em>she thought. She was about to say something to try to comfort her when the male guard who had just raped another female prisoner (Vincent) stopped in front of the girl's cell.<br/><br/>Maryne sat up slowly as she listened to their conversation. She frowned at the girl's naivete. There was a lot a woman could offer in a place like this, whether she wanted to or not. And it was pretty obvious what this particular guard wanted. Her lips twisted in distaste as she overheard the guard's offer of protection to Kira - and its price. Her instinct said she would have rejected it immediately had it been offered to her. On the other hand...there was little doubt she was going to be raped in here anyway. Perhaps it would be better to have it done by someone who had an interest in keeping you around, and could fend other would-be assailants off.<br/><br/>She stood slowly and approached the door to her cell, not really sure what she was doing. She wanted to know what Kira would decide. Perhaps it would help her make up her own mind, when the time came. As she knew it would.
