Love stared, open mouthed and rather stunned. Everything had happened so quickly, before she had a chance to react or respond. Quickly snapping her mouth shut, she stood up and quickly put some distance between her and the crazy person.

"Okay, what? What the fuck is Caitiff Island? And what the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Sachi could only stare in horror. She hadn't said a word during that exchange, too stunned to say anything (and even she knew better than to back-talk a soldier; they already had plenty of reasons to hang them and the last thing she wanted was to give them another reason). When they were alone again, she let out the breath she'd been holding and let her shoulders slump.

"Uh, well, she didn't make it sound like a good thing," she said, massaging her temples with her fingers and suddenly feeling very tired. "And it can't be good if she likes it better than hangin'. So can we like stop bein' crazy at each other and I dunno...figure somethin' out? 'Cause I don't wanna find out what the hell that is."

Not much was said, but it didn't have to be.  The guards were pretty well pressed that these three would resign to their fate without a word or complaint.  Dram was miserable, as always, and grumpy, as always.  It wasn't that he never had happy moments, but it certainly was hard to be cheerful when everything seemed to be going from bad to worse.

"Damn straight, it ain't a good thing," Dram snapped, a little annoyed.  "And for your information, Sachi, I might be a little crazy, but I sure as hell wasn't before I met you two."  It was part-truth and part lie, but he felt they ought to be a little responsible for what happened so far.  "And what could we possibly figure out huh?  I think it's time you threw some ideas on the table.  What do you want us to do, rip the bars right out of the window?" ....Now wait a minute...

"Look, stop being such an asshole. We're trying here, okay? Let's try and get along, yeah? Get your panties untwisted and maybe we can work together to get out of here." Love glanced over at the window and the bars.

Standing up, she brushed her hands off on herself and squared her shoulders, "I might be able to pull that one off." Lots of power use in one day. That was going to help the dragon zoom right in on her. Taking a few slow, deep breaths, Love gripped the bars, channeling her magic into her strength, calling on the brute force of the dragon.

And she pulled hard, tearing out two of the bars with a loud crack.

Rhindeer

"Oh sure, blame us!" Sachi snapped, throwing up her hands. "And maybe we could figure somethin' out if you stopped--"

A loud crack cut her off and she spun around in time to see Love yanking two of the bars out. Well then! Hope spiked within her and she crowded closer to the woman, forgetting Dram for the moment.

"Whoa! How'd ya--never mind! Can ya do some more? It looks almost big enough but hurry." She darted a look over her shoulder. That was loud and certainly someone would have heard that. They wouldn't have much time and if they were caught, then she doubted the guards would have much patience with them. This was their last chance.

She grabbed onto one of the bars and tugged at it, but it was locked tight in place, not budging even as she planted a foot against the wall to help her yank at it. "Dram! Get your ass over here!"

Dram's ear twitched he could have sworn he heard footsteps approaching.  "Oh to hell with this," he muttered.  The hackles on his neck began to rise and he shoved Sachi aside and pointed to the stone.  "These bars are embedded deep into the stone.  You gotta break the stone first.  You, Love, bash your head against the rock!"

Sachi stumbled to the side and almost fell, but she gave a little hop and righted herself before whirling to glare at Dram. "The hell are ya doin'? Uh, hello?"

Jerking her thumb at Love, she raised an eyebrow. Love had already pulled out two bars. Why would he want her to bash her head against the wall?

Love gave Dram an odd look, "Uh. No. Shut up if you can't be useful." Love handed Sachi the bars, then took a deep breath, centering herself and drawing on more of the power. This was very bad, she must be lighting up like a beacon for the dragon.

She needed to get away and away right now. She grabbed the bars and yanked hard, tearing the other two out of the wall and tossing them aside. Quick as a wink, she was shimmying out between the bars and into what she hoped was freedom.

Rhindeer

That was all she needed.

Sachi tossed the bars Love had handed her down and, not wasting a second, she hauled herself out of the cell, through the window, and into freedom. Dram could stay and rot for all she was concerned.

"See ya!" she called before she vanished out into the light beyond, dropping with a soft thud to the ground. She found Love out there, too, but she wasn't wasting any time. By now, people would have probably heard and she did not want to risk getting caught again--in case they had second thoughts and decided to hang her and be done with it.

"Hope ya got a good way out," she told Love as she started to yank off her rags and toss them aside.

Love laughed and winked at Sachi, "Always!" The wings were back and she took a running jump, flapping desperately. It wasn't graceful, but it got her away fast while the guards were still trying to figure out what had happened.

She needed to find Nell and get the fuck out of there. So much power in such a short time was going to lead Him right to her. And she wanted to be gone.

Rhindeer

As soon as her clothes were off, Sachi shifted, transforming once more into her gryphon form before launching herself into the air, powerful wings pumping. She gained altitude fast, reveling in the freedom, and it didn't take long for her to catch up with Love.

Well. Today had....not gone exactly as planned, to put it lightly. She was short one necklace but still had her life, at least, and only due to sheer luck! She had no idea how Love had been strong enough to break them out of there but she wasn't about to question it.

"Hey!" she called ahead of her. "Girl! Love? Yeah, you! I really owe ya!"
