Four days had Raiku been waiting in that cell. The conversations of the group of two cellmates on the other end of the hall was the only noise he heard, other than the sound of the moat surrounding the prison facility. They tried to talk to him, but he always just smiled, gave them a glance, and shrugged them off. By his best guess, he assumed that they were accomplices in some kind of murder...
The guards would walk by now and again at random intervals, every time paying less and less attention to Raiku due to his extraordinarily good behavior. A smile is worth a thousand words indeed.
That night, like every night, he looked out the bar-window of the cell. Though seeking an escape, he admittedly was thinking of something completely different, or someone rather.

Akana had spent many of her lonely days in the woods, gathering herbs and thinking. If she were to be completely honest with herself she would be thinking of the stupid person who went and did something against the law of the lands and landed himself in prison.
::You self-minded idiot!:: Reverting to telepathic communication was her way of coping with her anger. Only the nearby plants could hear, with the exception to those few gifted. The gifted ones would hear it as a loud yell, others may only get an odd pulsing in their heads.
She rose from the crouching position she took to when examining plants. This time her mind wandered so much that the only communication she had with them was the yell. Her anger got the better of her that day, and she gripped the plant she was about to kindly gather too tightly. A soft screech, and then nothing.
"Oh...Raiku, look what you made me do!" Although it was nothing more than a whisper, it helped her. She wasn't angry, just irritated that Raiku had once again gotten himself into some sort of trouble. Each time it happened she seemed to do something she regretted. Whether it be hurting a defenseless plant, or breaking him out.
Her heart called out to someone nearby, hoping with all her might that Raiku would show his silly face. Her kind eyes traveled to a light nearby. She hadn't realized where her feet had taken her to, and now arrived at a building that was unrecognizable. The lights looked soothing in the night, but her feet wouldn't move. She just stood there, staring at the warm light, and hoped that she would be welcomed to it.
"Just one night of family..." Was all she said in sadness, thoughts of Raiku just on the edge of her mind.

(( Mind if I hop in too?))
The sturdy pounding of hooves was muffled by the grasses as he walked, though not the clinking of his scale mail. The massive minotaur gave a snort as he peered left, then right, searching for something. His fur was a dark chestnut brown, and his longhorn-style horns were ebony black, reflecting in what scarce light was available. His girth was not something to be contested with, standing some eight feet tall, and leaving hoofprints the size of kite shields. On his back was a greataxe, which itself seemed at least 6 feet tall, and grossly heavy for any but his hulking, fur-covered arms. "Ah.. There you are.." he remarked, and moved forward, kneeling down and picking the peacebloom posie. "I thought i smelled peacebloom..." he said with a low, gravelly voice that, were he not talking about posies and holding a flower, might seem quite intimidating.

(Sure thing man, jump on in. This isn't a one on one thread!)
An explosion rocked the side of the building, rocks and debir tumbled down the sides and hit the water below with a 'Sploosh!'. Raiku was shaken by this, and in the confusion, did not even realize that he had been hit by a stone and was bleeding from his head. The other prisoners were capable to now break open their cells as the foundation destroyed itself from the bottom up. It was'nt as if anyone was going to save them, it was the guards themselves who blew it up in the first place, odds are they were a long way away.
Raiku too, was able to slip out. But the traffic through the halls was to dangerous, especially considering the building coming down any second. Doubling back, he did not look, and simply leapt out of the window.
