*Thanatos PoV*
I wake up to a spoon chiming on the iron bars of my cell.
"Breakfast." The Nester girl called, shoving a tray of oranges and strawberries at me. "Take it or leave it, Huntress girl."
I reach over and start peeling an orange, not preserved, but sweet and fresh. "The prison food has gotten better since I last was here."
The Nester girl nods, looking at me but not really, pensive. "So it has."
"What's your name?" I ask, biting into a strawberry.
"Itzel."
I nod. A useful, strong name, I note, unlike some others the Nesters gave themselves, like Rose. Ugh.
"are you willing to help me break out of here, Itzel?"
Her mouth lifts in a disbelieving smirk. "I thought you'd be more subtle about this."
" I don't do manipulation." I shrug. "Either I've got your help or not."
"All right." She says. "You have it."
I meet her eyes, see the steel in them. "You serious?"
"I love a good breakout." She grins. "Plus if you escape, some of the air will finally be free from those Teszes' overblown heads."
I smile back. "So what's the layout of this building? Where are the guards?"
In a few minutes in excited taps of her nimble fingers, she's told me everything. I already have a plan, and the lone guard by the cell is none the wiser.
