"B-But.. that's not what I meant, Marina." John sighed, his head dipping. "I'm sorry I made it seem like you're prope--" John was quickly interrupted by Zyon.
"Hey, Marina, was it? How 'bout you and I go on a fancy dinner date when I get us out of here!" Zyon purred. "I know a really nice place where they serve the finest food. A beautiful lady such as yourself shouldn't be locked in shackles~! Besides, that lil' Barkley boy put you here, how could you ever trust a man like him~" Zyon said, pointing at John.
"What?! I didn't put her in prison! If it were up to me, I'd set her free!" John rose from his seat, his cheeks flushed.
"Yeah, yeah, I know your lies!" Zyon directed back to Marina. "Don't believe a word he says, he's the infamous Mermaid Murderer! Rumor has it he's got an entire box full of scales from the mermaids he's killed! Watch out, Marina, you could be next!"
"I would never hurt a hair or scale on Marina! Shut your mouth!" John stared at Zyon with a fist ready to hit him. Zyon stared right back with a fist ready for John and it was clear that there was tension between them for a while. It was almost as if they were rivals of some sort. Both of them punch each other in the face. John didn't seem as hurt as Zyon. He chuckled. "Heh, can't take a hit? Some pirate. I bet your friends can take a better hit than you."
"S-Shut up! I wasn't ready..." Zyon whined, rubbing his chin.

"Anywhere but here is fine by me." Marina muttered under her breath, turning to face opposite the scene. She didn't seem to want to hear any of the banter.
"Hey. The Lady doesn't pay us to be smacking these seadogs around you know." Wallace pointed out. Roger laid in his cell out cold and it looked like it'd be a while before he'd wake up with how hard he was knocked unconscious. "If you want to argue with the prisoners, feel free to take over for the night shift."

"This is just my luck! I'm all on my own and I can't even show my face around the town." Zora grumbled to herself. The ship they tried to make off with was now being guarded and looked over. Cutting through the trees and foliage, Zora was forced to avoid the public and come up with a plan of her own. "I know they'd be jailed nearby, but how am I gonna get in?..."

"Right right..." John let out a long sigh before sitting on a stool and rubbing his temple. He turned his back to the prisoners and began to write down in a book he kept on top of a nearby table. He wrote down all the records and the prisoners names for safe keeping.
He noticed how Roger was unconscious and he thought it wouldn't be such a good idea to leave him like that. He rose to his feet and left for a moment.
Zyon began to speak again and poked at Marina and the others.
"So... when I get you guys out of here, I got a few rules." He cleared his throat. "For starters, I want all your gold, money, jewelry, anything value. Number two, I get first dibs on the food. Uhh... what else.." Zyon rubbed his chin but eventually shrugged. He leaned against the wall, talking to Marina.
"So, how did you even get thrown in jail, beautiful~?" He chuckled. "I thought a creature as lovely as you would be free to do as she pleases~"

"If it's so important to know, I'm not in here because I want to be." Marina pouted defiantly before looking at the floor. "It's not my fault humans are such greedy creatures." She scratched at a section of her arm where a few scales seemed to have been forcefully removed. "There's nothing for you to have anyway." The mermaid yawned and rubbed at her eyes before going into a coughing fit and drinking the rest of her water.
"I don't want to stick around in here before that Lady or whoever decides to come and get me. They might use my scales for their ugly fashion..." Marina muttered hatefully. "The air makes my skin itchy and my nose burn, and it's hot and strange. I've never been out of the water this long before..."
===============
Zora grabbed a lone branch and started scraping it against a rock formation for a makeshift weapon. Her knife was as good as gone for now, so she'd have to steal another somewhere.
