Prison break fail

Freeing him? Well what good would that do - he wasn't going anywhere! When the woman continued to tug at his chain he ducked out of her grasp and backed away as though she were a snake about to strike. "The hell you are!" She wasn't going to steal his moment away from him. "I'm not going to run away from him like a coward. I'm gonna beat that bastard fair and square." He hung back like a feral cat until she began to take things out of her bag. Then he inched closer. Balsam bit his lip and eyed the items she'd brought. Man, that food looked so good. He was starving. A nagging thought at the back of his mind told him not to trust her; that this had to be a trick of some kind. Perhaps she'd been sent to tease out his weaknesses - he was really hungry - and get him hopes up so Sirius could smash them. But that would require the kind of planning he didn't think Sirius was capable of. Which meant the woman was surely genuine. "Thank you," he said humbly. Her kindness was unexpected and undeserved and for that he had no choice but to stand before her humbled and grateful. |
