Day 3
Amazingly, Daegsatz' stomach had not yet erupted in protest. He counted himself lucky. The oranges and the rum must have staved off the aching for another day; how long that reprieve would last was anyone's guess. The Ishgardian book was thoroughly creased by now. Many of the stories were overly romantic fables, but a few of them were tales of zealous combat and legendary battles against dragons, which the pirate quite enjoyed, even if the vocabulary was unnecessarily flowery at times. Every now and then his eyes would begin to protest due to the dim lighting of the cell and the small words, forcing the Roegadyn to put the book down and go back to scratching at the granite.
The Sea Wolf was now looking forward to the daily visits from the paladin. She was a kind enough person, and amusing in her own way, and Daegsatz was truly grateful for the distractions she brought, for the passing of bells and the time spent simply sitting in the gaol was truly monotonous. In truth, the Roegadyn wanted to ask about his ward, but if Nero found out that Daegsatz was worrying about him while stuck in a gaol, the Sea Wolf would very likely never hear the end of it.
