A Simple Stick

It took several minutes for Samira to explain everything that had happened to bring her to this point, long enough for Noomi to finish her meal and to tend to little Saku as well. Thankfully, her baby boy was well behaved and nodded back off to sleep as soon as he'd finished nursing, though she wasn't sure how much longer that would last. 

"I don't know what you expect me to say, Lady Jailor," Noomi said at the end of it as she folded away the cloth that had contained her meal and handed it back through the bars to Samira. It was a measure of the disdain that her captives held for her that no one had noticed Samira's routine trips to the dungeons at night to supplement the meager meals she was given by the guards each day, but she wasn't about to be careless enough to keep things around that could expose the other woman's actions.
