Emmeline's stomach stopped moving as she held her breath, stiff with fear. Good. She was learning quickly. As long as she did not even dare to breathe for fear of doing wrong in the eyes of her master, she would have an easy life here. Well, as easy as he could make it without spoiling her too much, anyway. She was already spoiled enough.
As they turned to leave, Tyann whispered into the scribe's ear: "You really are worried what is going to happen to her, are you? Well, remember how easily you broke. With any luck, she will see reason quickly. She will probably suffer less than you did. You really took the pain exceedingly well", he noted with something like pride in his voice.
Tyann saw the fear in Emmeline's eyes and smiled at her: "You can relax now, slave. I was really just on my way to take a break. The guards can take care of the torture now. I will get myself something to eat. Oh, and feed you too", he added.
They went upstairs to his room, stopping on the way to instruct one of the kitchen slaves to bring bread, cheese and wine up. When they arrived, he sat down in his chair, pointed to the ground, and threw a piece of bread and some cheese down to her.
He waited to see if she would accept the humiliation and eat off the ground. She'd better...

Her tears were enough to make even Mara put a thin, wrinkled arm around her - though she had to spoil it immediately by croaking: "Do you really think this is the worst that is going to happen to you here?"
She had not become that cold working here. Coldness was the only reason she had stayed - questionably - sane working here. Anyone who felt too much for the victims of this place of horrors went crazy over time. Even a healer here had to be half monster, or it destroyed her.
Listening to her cry like that rallied the last remains of warmth inside her. "No matter what they tell you, this is not a place of justice. They do terribly unjust things here, every day. Anyone who has even a bit of soul left goes insane here. I suppose that is why I am unharmed." She laughed joylessly, the laughter morphing into a dry cough.
"If I felt anything for the lot of you, I would be crying like you. Every day. You were a slave before... but that does not mean you are prepared for this. They taught you to have no will. If you want to survive here, you must learn to have no feelings."
It was cold, brutal advice, yet it came from the shriveled depths of her heart. She even managed to pull her into something resembling an embrace and squeeze her shoulder.
