Grim waved his hand at Josef, ignoring his comment. The man would show up if he wanted to, and who knows what would happen tonight. As a guard, you always had to be ready for the unexpected. He closed the metal door behind him and Rin finally took a deep breath. It was nice to be alone with Josef again. In the midst of their silence, he looked over the fellow, appreciating him in the moment. Josef had matured since they first met. "Do you remember the first time we met?" He smirked, a crooked tooth poking out on his lip.

As he watched his friend think about it, he smacked him on the bag and reeled him in for a hug. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad dealing with this fucker after all. "Let's go check out Billy's then." He mentioned after shoving Josef away in a playful over masculine way. "I'm sure you could use a drink as much as I."

Drishe was in shock, but not entirely powerless. Her eyes darted from side to side, the sounds of medical experimentation whizzing in her ears. She let her sands loose. She was a whirlwhind whipping around the lobby of the experiment center. She lifted Ashi from her feet and surrounded her with an armor of purple sand. Drishe wouldn't let anybody get near her and if she needed to find a way out now, she would. It didn't seem right.

She guided the girl into their room, most likely rustling her hair. Hopefully not blinding her with bits of her sands. Though they would dissolve when the touched her. She landed in the room and reassembled herself in front of the girl. "Is this what life is like now? Were we actually safer underground?" Drishe was panicking, stringing hands through hair. She could easily use magic to save herself, but her whole mission was to protect Ashi. If she left the girl behind, she would die internally. She was soul bound to her now. She'd lost masters before, and she'd disowned them. She wasn't ready to have it happen again. Not in a place like this.

As Ashi swarmed with questions, Drishe's mind dipped into her holy space. She could speak to the other genies on this plane. It was empty. Completely open. She screamed in the open space and it resonated into the real world. Soon, she was just joining a chorus of madmen and mutants. When she saw Ashi again, pulling away her shroud of emotions, she smiled. "I will protect you." And just after she said that, a small door at the corner of their room slid open. Two trays of food were pushed through. Drishe looked at Ashi, unsure whether or not to trust the food here.

Ashi's tray was different. It had a bag of blood and a biscuit, just for looks maybe. Drishe had a biscuit and a bowl of stew. Not that djinnis needed food anymore than their undead counterparts. She appreciated the idea. Hopefully it wasn't poisoned or tainted in some way. She stirred her finger in it, watching it change to a bright pink color before returning to its gnarly brown. "Purifying magic." She mumbled, looking over at Ashi's blood bag. "Would you like me to get yours?" Her voice was jagged, nervewracked and confused. She had to find a way out of here.

Five days? Was that the truth? It might be best to ask some of the other inmates.
