"If we don't leave now, we might not live to see tomorrow."
The light spell chose to end at that moment, leaving the two in darkness. Kayla blew out a calming breath and relit the spell, this time keeping it on herself.
"We'll live. Calm down."
She wasn't sure why she felt an irritated edge in her mood towards Drathen. The man's probably so scared, he's numb. She told herself. She, however, kept calm. She'd been imprisoned several times before, in cells not too different from these. She inspected her hinges and found she wouldn't be able to take them off, not without raucous noise, bringing about who knows how many people to their cells. The last thing they needed was a huge fight, especially when she didn't know where Dawnbreaker was.
"Meridia's going to kill me," she said to herself, low enough to where she was sure Drathen wouldn't hear. "You don't lose a daedric artifact, Kayla. You just don't!" She looked up at Drathen. "I can't take the door off, not without causing a lot of noise. There are splintered bones over here, but I'm not sure if I could use any of them for a lockpick." She pressed her face between the bars, her head sliding through easily. She blinked, then slid one arm through, then a shoulder, until her upper body was through the bars completely.
She clenched her fists as her rear got stuck.
"Godsdamnit!" she cursed, trying to pull herself through. She tried sliding one leg through, but to no avail. What was worse, was she couldn't get back in. She let out a slew of curses in Nordic that would make a pirate blush.
"Well...this will be really funny later on." She offered.
