"Why don't we take care of you first before we continue," Yezia suggested. "I'm sure you're ready to stretch your legs by now."
Vica was tempted to point out that the ropes had been entirely Yezia's and her comrades' idea in the first place, but she no longer had the will to pursue any further contention. She needed to know what else Yezia knew - or if she was lying. She remained still as Yezia carefully stepped within the boundaries of the seal-trap and moved behind her.
Vica had half-suspected the other woman would do something dastardly to her while her back was turned, but she felt the ropes fall away from her wrists after a few seconds of tugging. "I can get those," she said quickly when Yezia stooped to undo the binds around her ankles. "Tell me what else you know. Please."
