Intermission – Alexis (8)

The guards shut the door behind Alexis. She stumbled inside before managing to right herself, then looked around. The room was brightly lit, with large windows allowing sunlight to flood it. In the center of the room there was a table with chairs. There was also a man there, casually garbed in purple satin mage robes.

However, what caught her attention was the other captive, who stood in the corner of the room directly in front of the door, her hands bound to the ceiling such that she was forced to stand on the tips of her toes, and she was wearing nothing but a leather mask that covered the upper half of her head, including her eyes, with jet-black hair sticking out from beneath it. Her thin figure was put on display for all to see, revealing her pair of small, round, unripe peaches.

Alexis tried not to stare at the other woman. However, her host noticed her glancing at the other captive and smiled.
