If it showed I’ve come here, either Gavin hasn’t seen the notice or he has

But I’ve already established that he doesn’t have the guts to starve me

So maybe he hasn’t seen that I’m here

Which leaves another question: what does Gavin do when he travels? Either he never travels, or he’s set up a systeet me fed when he does There’s no way he’d let himself be chained as much as I am, so he’s set up a syste me, or he has an automated system Automated systems can easily break, and Gavin wouldn’t want to kill h choice

Meh, Gavin believed in people It was always one of his weaknesses It hy Gavin had been able to foil his plan to escape with Karris

That "Gavin" stuck in his blue brain irritated hiardless, his brother’s trust hy his brother’s elopement with Karris had failed Either the new Gavin had learned not to trust people from that failure or he hadn’t H Gavin’s place as Prism, which he couldn’t possibly do on his own So Gavin hadn’t learned not to trust So Gavin did trust someone

So there was so that Dazen had moved from one prison to another Either that so their duties or not Gavin wouldn’t have trusted someone asn’t careful So that so meant, and what he was supposed to do when he saw it, or he didn’t

But would she know to dye it green?

She would only know to dye it green if Gavin had told her to do so Maybe she was new Maybe Gavin had kept her in the dark, not wanting to give away any details about the prison below, not wanting to stoke the woman’s curiosity any more than necessary

That was it That hy it had been a ithout food

Gavin hadn’t left her adequate instructions She would know that there was food going down to soet desperate

Either Gavin would co, or he wouldn’t

For the first time in perhaps years, a smile lit Dazen’s features All he had to do ait He would either wait until he died or he would wait until shewas hell, but it was a hell he was comfortable in He talked with the dead man to pass the hours The dead man mocked him, and heHe could hardly wait until he broke out and left the dead man down here to die
