Jathra rolled over at the sound of movement outside his cell. He had been laying on his side and staring at the back wall his cell, contemplating his situation. This Ulfric was surely mad. Jathra could understand an ambush, could understand keeping prisoners for some use later. He condemned the ideas, but he could at least understand them. However, Keeping so many caged simply to kill them later was not something Jathra could understand in the slightest. Such a waste of time and resources. Still, Jathra was no stranger to madness, he had seen men perform such irrational actions before. Jathra wouldn’t let the confusion hinder him.
As the unofficial watcher recruit rolled his thoughts drifted to more immediate matters. He spotted the source of the commotion, a woman seemed to be pleading with a guard to let her treat some of the other prisoner’s wounds. Though the guard’s accent made it difficult for Jathra to understand his words, though his sentiment seemed clear that he didn’t agree. As Jathra was about to roll back over, he was surprised to see the woman convince the guard to let her treat another prisoner.
Might be lucky, he seems a fool. Jathra thought to himself, stifling a grin. It seemed their captors were incompetent enough that the watchers might be able to escape. As the woman was moved to another cell Jathra sat up and moved closer to the caged door.
Jathra watched and listened as another of the watchers spoke up, this one seemed to be acquainted with the woman and was giving her advice to not exhaust herself treating others. The guard chided the man for his concern. Jathra scratched the back of his head as he watched the guards movements and responses, trying to get a gauge of to exploit in order to escape.
The man was likely easily provoked, but he was just as likely to call more guards in if Jathra chided him. He didn’t seem all that intelligent, but he likely let the woman out from underestimating her gender and obvious profession as a healer. The man would likely not give Jathra the same opportunity.
Jathra sighed and cursed under his breath in his mother tongue. He could yet think of no sure way to exploit the guard’s ineptitude at the moment. Therefore, he simply resolved to keep observing, hoping an opportunity would present itself. He scanned the other prisoners he could see through the bars to his cell, keeping an eye out for anyone who else who looked like they were contemplating an escape plan.
