"I could...if I had to..."
*Johanna sat on one of the couches, beginning to break down*
"I just want to go home! I'm married, I want my husband!"

Esmeralda watched the others with wide, innocent eyes.
"I... I don't want to be in a harem," she said.

Lady Éowyn of Rohan looked worried from the woman starting to break down, to the innocent young gipsy girl. She sat down by Johanna's side, taking her hand and squeezing it gently.
"There has to be some way of getting out. We must not lose hope."
She looked calmer than she felt, and her voice was calm. Being born in a country torn with war, she was used to being strong when someone needed her strength. Her breakdowns were saved for the times she was alone. Maybe that was why she had got the nickname "The ice virgin." She looked over at Esmeralda, and even managed a little smile.

((I love how she's being all fatalistic now and Sorelli has basically gone brainasplode.
Translation: "Except that no one knows where we are or how to find us."))

*Adrienne still hadn't lost her cool--and it was quite literally her cool. She was cold and hard and didn't appear to show any emotion. Money, in her experience, could buy you any information. Someone was sure to have noticed a roundup of young women on the streets of Paris, and someone was bound to find them.*
*She peeled off her clothes, unashamed of her body despite upbringing in a society which frowned upon the displaying of skin. Her build was not muscled, but had she wanted it to be it quite clearly had the capability--only fashionable inactivity had kept a feminite softness around the edges of her body. Female teachers at the school shared a communal bathroom, and on the nights that she chose to sleep at the school instead of going home, she shared a room with two other young teachers--at some point during the school year modesty became too much of a hassle.*
*And if this was the only way she was going to get clean, she'd do it. The grime made her feel like an uncivilized barbarian, and though she might have to live among them for a while, she would not smell like one. She proceeded to let herself be washed and changed into the clothes, which though different from her normal garb were not unbecoming.*
((Adi: *just deals with it.*
It's not as if she has anything going on at home; this is at least an adventure and she's quite sure she'll be found soon enough.))

*As Johanna had the same done to her (moving all the while as if in a trance) she recognized a woman from one of Raoul's parties*
"Adrienne?"

*She raised a dark eyebrow, looking at the girl who had recognized her, and who she had seen going into hysterics before. It took her a moment.*
"Johanna de Chagny?" *She queried. Her face appeared familiar, and for some reason she had a feeling it was the new Vicomtesse de Chagny. The girl had married up--far up, as the de Chagny youngest had been considered as a match for Adrienne herself at one point (it had gone nowhere as they hadn't clicked)--but the Vicomte approved of her, and Adrienne was at least grateful to have someone civilized here.*

*She nodded enthusiastically*
"I don't believe any of this!"

"I'm just glad to have someone civilized around until they come for us. We're the lucky ones--your husband and my father are both richer than midas; we'll have someone for us soon enough."

"Yes...he'll come for me soon..."
*She repeated the words like a chant*
"They're smart...they'll get in somehow..."

"And you're not a virgin in the first place, right?" *She asked bluntly. Considering the girl was married, it would be stranger if she was not.*

"Well- no."
*She smiled*
"I hadn't thought of that!"
((Poor, unknowing Johanna...))

*Adrienne shrugged.*
"Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. They could take it either way."

*She looked down*
"I don't know what to expect anymore."

"I'm sure your husband will come for you before it becomes an issue." *She said, in the first real overture of friendship she'd made toward anyone here.*
