Together in Defeat

The heavy door opened, which made Ved'Lith turn to see who was coming. But rather than a savior, it was other of the armored acolytes that had assaulted the Temple of Doom.

"Hi there" she said, as she pushed inside the room what looked like a fanatic of the Cult of the Flower. "Some other prisoners have complained about having to share space with mere commoners... like they expect to have a special treatment for being citizens!
But you wouldn't complain, right?" she said.

"Mppffh!" Ved'Lith muffled on her gag.

"Perfect!" the armored acolyte of the Senatorial faction said, making the fanatic of Jabharil sit behind the populist faction captured sorceress, tying the commoner woman ankles, knees, wrists and elbows. As she finished, she left, but adding before doing so:

"Don't worry! Soon you will have plenty of more company!".

Then, the heavy door closed, leaving together the two tied drow, citizen and commoner, side by side.

"Just in case, I'm not really a fanatic, yes?" the Fanatic of the Cult of the Flower said. Or the drow dressed as one, if Ved'Lith was to believe her. "I'm just a poor, honest fisherwoman dragged in all this political mess. I mean, I'm a free drow! They forced me to attack! I... I wouldn't be sold in the slave market or be sacrified in a temple or something, right?

right?

 You can help me, yes? I mean... Acolytes are powerful? yes? Please?" she begged.

the gagged Ved'Lith didn't bothered to try to speak. Not only because of the gag, but because really she doubted she could really do anything to help the fisherdrow.
