She wasn't quite there yet. She wouldn't be able to stand a spider crawling up her arm. Nope.

Rhia smiles and scooches to the side so that they can both sit on the box.

Victoria smiles in response and moves to sit next to her. "Thank you, by the way. For showing me this place."

"You seem like a nice person. You shouldn't have to do manual labor." She signs, giving her a kind smile.

Aaron began work. Every blow to the stone she made came down powerfully. She yawned as she worked but focused on nothing else.

"Well, I'm glad you think so. It seems most of the people out their want my hide. And not only mine as well, yours, too, and the dragon kid's, and Jack's, and the kid that the warden excluded, Nicote, I think? It's just..." she sighed and then laughed a little to keep the spirits up. "I guess it's only what you can expect down here."

She gives her a quick hug. "Well, it's pretty clear you're no killer. So you deserve to hide out from the rest of this awful place."

Most of the inmates marched in silence through the hole in the wall, past a blacksuit whose silver eyes promised a world of pain if they stepped out of line.

Victoria smiled, making sure to return the hug while it lasted. "Yeah, I didn't kill, but sometimes I can't help but feel that I did, you know?"

Cole jsut followed the crowd, with Lio eventually breaking off to his own area (ala the repair shop hole) and Nicote soon catching up with the pale blond.
