"I don't like this place. Do you suppose it would be such a hardship for them to feed me and let me bathe occasionally? And books... could you bring me some of my books? I'd prepare a list, but they won't even give me paper." She paused and dabbed at her eyes with her fingers. "I want to leave this place, Sydney. Immediately, if possible."
Sydney leaned down and took her hand into his. He patted it on top with his other then kissed it lightly letting it go.
"You said it very clearly the first time Amarantha. They're beasts" He gave her nice smile, that still turned out rather crooked. He stood up and pulled a chair up along side her. Leaning down some he grasped his two hands together in a ball and rested his arms on his lap.
"I will not let you stay caged in here, and will do all I can to prove you're innocent." Sydney let off a small yawn for he was still very tired.
"Books? Ah yes, from your shop. I was planning on heading down there myself soon. See I need to find something that will help me prove you are not to blame for stealing time from Students" He paused for a moment and gave the young girl a look of concern.
"If you know of anything that will help me prove this, you must let me know Amarantha."
He unfolded his hands and moved one into the back of his coat pocket, pulling out a small notepad with a pen stuck through the rings at the top.
"Make your list of books for me, and I'll grab them while I'm down there." He handed the poor girl his notepad and waited for her to make her list of books.
