The Dungeon

((*pokes thread* Hope no one minds if I cont. a bit? ^^;)

Judas's eyes flicked to the Defore's actions and he smiled in a somewhat vague, sardonic amusement. A key in the rubble? Well, that would certainly be a twist, now wouldn't it? It an odd naivety, but he could humor it for awhile. He deftly slid into his anthro form, as lithe and slender and his serpentine one, the hood lax at his neck, giving somewhat of a mirage of hair. His hands, roughened by the scales, were much better suited for the sorting of rocks that the others. He picked them up and flicked them aside with a careless grace.

"Clever enough I suppose, they did get us all here, in cells, without us waking while doing so," his voice continued its smooth, almost melodic thread. "You remember anything at all?"

He wasn't going to point out that if the captor was clever enough for all this, then it would be quite hopeless to find a key in this mess. But he would humor this defore, for after all they were locked in this cage together and he didn't want to deal with him if this attitude could get much worse. His eyes flicked sideways, to the femmes' cell, narrowing in slight. From distaste or an attempt to focus on the nude and beautiful jester, one couldn't exactly tell. Making himself unreadable was a point he prided himself on, after all.

In the rubble of Xionde and the serpent's cell, a box is eventually uncovered. Small, silver, and identical to the first sitting outside the cells. It was also in need of a key in order to be unlocked. How unfortunate.

Grinning in minor triumph, he tilts his head and gives a small bow of thanks to the Serpent for assisting. "You seem surprised." His ego showed only minorly, for the look on his face gave evidence that he was just happy to have found something at all, something to get him the hell out of there.

Of course, his momentary victory stretch was just that- momentary. He realized right away what a useless help this box would be as an aid for their escape. How wonderful, they had a whole lot of things needing keys, and zero keys to count. "Someone has quite the sense of humour." Scratched and frustrated, he slumped against the bars and peered out.

"We've uncovered a box, but it needs a key. Is anyone doing anything useful or is everyone just standing around?" He could tell what the answer would be, and whereas his serpent companion was going for unreadable, Xionde was more than happy to show his distaste at the foolish joker who was doing nothing but adding to the problem. At this point in time, he couldn't have more hatred towards seductive anything.

Of course, he wasn't a hypocrite, his nudity was merely because he preferred his human form, he didn't want to distract others with pointless showing off. If he was to become the charming chick-magnet he once was, it wouldn't be for quite some time after this if he escaped. No, that part of him was stuck inside a very dark box, equally as difficult to escape as the cell his actual person was trapped in.
