"Did you and that whore landwoman compare notes?" Mazi asked, pulling on his chains, trying to get closer to Aislyn.

Aislyn curled herself into a tight ball, trying to block out Mazi's voice.

"Did I make you regret betraying my king? Cheating on your true husband?" Mazi asked.

Aislyn lifted her head, a crazed look in her eyes. "I would shut up if I were you. I just went quite mad and killed a man who was harassing me. It would give me even greater pleasure to finish you off."

Mazi laughed. "I'll bet it was a mortal land man, mermen are a lot harder to kill. Land men are easy, just like land women."

Mazi grinned. "All it took was a Nelek disguise and you let Onyi take you like that."

"I hope you burn in whatever hell you believe in," Aislyn hissed.

"Hell is for humans." Mazi laughed. "Ila was almost as easy as you. All Onyi had to do was buy her contract and that land woman would do anything for him, or me. I suppose she is settling for mortal men now. Must be a let down for her after-" Mazi waxed nostalgic as he leaned against the cell wall and described what inhumane things he did to Pinja as if he were talking about going on a picnic on a nice summer day.

"She probably would have screamed if she wasn't gagged but the burns only left a few scars on her back." He finished casually. "Of course she carried on like she was in pain for days. Weak landwoman."

A murderous rage bubbled inside Aislyn. "Why would you torture her? What is it with you people that you feel you have the right to take anyone by force?"

Mazi laughed until tears streamed from his eyes.

"I never forced her to do anything." Mazi said when he finally recovered enough to talk. "Ila's a whore- you don't force whores to do anything, it's their job to do what they're told."

"Ila is not a whore. If she was, it was not of her own doing and it was unwilling." Aislyn had every faith in the girl.

"She's a whore, and is she ever willing! If she was unwilling she wouldn't have been so good at it." Mazi smirked. "She used to work at the Crimson Dove, has the brand and everything- that's what those red dove tattoos mean. The best whores are from there. They're all willing. She never resisted, never even said no, and whenever I asked her to anything she would do it without hesitating. She enjoyed it."

"I would guess that if they refused or appeared unwilling, they would be punished severely. One does what they must to survive until they find a way to escape. No, my guess is that Ila became an expert at faking it."

"Some things can't be faked." Mazi said. "She's a whore who loves it. I bet if she was in here with me now she would still do what I told her."

"And I say you are wrong."

"Have her come down here and I'll prove you wrong." Mazi said and called over to guard to bring Ila. "Hey! She is asking for a visitor!" He yelled to the closest guard.

"No! The only visitor I wish to see is Lord DeVale."

"I'm not doing him." Mazi looked disgusted. "Is he for you then?"

"To speak with, yes." Aislyn glared at Mazi.

The arresting knight went to find DeVale.

Mazi shouted to the remaining guard. "Why don't you let me share a cell with Aislyn? It's been two weeks since I had Ila and Aislyn has gone without for years, unless she cheated on the man she was cheating on my king with."

"I wouldn't be with you if you were the last man standing," Aislyn spat.

"I do prefer swimming over standing." Mazi said.

"I would rather be a nun in a convent."

"I've had nuns in convents. I prefer whores like Ila though, they know what they're doing." Mazi said.

"I hope you are drawn and quartered while being set aflame."
