Some food fell into the pit while Jude studied the smiling drawing of "nice Mister Yuggoth."  Gluttony moaned and cried the entire time Jude was eating (and he wasn't) but otherwise the Sins were quiet.<br/><br/>Until Moka's voice was heard.  Jude listened to the screams from outside.  --They've removed her gag.--<br/>--Evidently.  Why didn't we get one?  You'd think the stronger restraints would be applied to males in a society like this.--<br/>--Perhaps they think she's the bigger threat?  We didn't exactly make an amazing first impression.  And you can't really spot Greed's Claim unless you feel it firsthand.  That woman might not even know she did anything special.--<br/>--Why, Acedia, that's the most words I've heard out of you in a long time.  Did the wails wake you up?--<br/>--I was just surprised you didn't go charging out of her to claim the girl and the bow as soon as you could.--<br/>--Rescue that thing?  It's not mine.  And the bow isn't mine yet.  If MY Moka woke up, she wouldn't be the one screaming.  Or she wouldn't be worth my time.--<br/>--How bloodthirsty of you.--<br/>--When you're immortal, you really have to have some standards.  Hear that?  She gave in.--<br/>"It makes me even more curious about that gag...  If they just didn't want us communicating, they'd give me one too."<br/>--You're right.--<br/>--I'll bet they plan to kill you and force her to join their tribe.  That's what happens in all the stories.--<br/>--We will NOT allow that to happen.--<br/>--Hear that?  Pride says that unless you talk your way out of this, you'll spend the rest of eternity being killed by Amazons and coming back to life.  We'll make the coming back even worse than the dying.  Teehee!--<br/>Jude studied her, and the Amazons around her.  He tried to distinguish from their faces something about his own fate.  He resolved to wait until darkness to do anything drastic.  That way, Moka would have some time to recover and the Amazons might be less vigilant.<br/>--You're more patient than Acedia.--<br/>--Dear, don't try subtle sarcasm.  The boy might think you're complimenting him.--
