Finn came to a little while later, rubbing the back of his head. I cried out in relief, the sound muffled through the gag. His eyes landed on me, widening in horror.
“Adira!” Waving his hands, his chains rattled against the wall. “What the-?”
“Mmm.” I held up my hands, mimicking him and then making an ‘X’ with my arms. No magik.
“How? Can’t you take that off?”
I shook my head, repeating the action and pointing to the cloth. I’d already tried as soon as the spell holding me placed released. I couldn’t tear it off, couldn’t move it at all.
“Is this white silver?” Finn asked. I nodded and he swore. “I’m sorry Adira. But we’ll get out of here, I promise. I swear-“
“Mmm!” Pointing to my cheek, and then my head, I waved at him.
“Huh? Oh. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.”
