Nidget was sitting across from me, apparently the next phase of torture was visual. Staring at a naked Nidget was breaking me as a person. Like I could feel my resolve breaking, well played people, well played. Nidget didn't talk for a bit, he fidgeted looked uncomfortable and ultimately just kind of sulked. It was finally I who broke the silence.
"Nidget what are you doing here?"
"They think if we are in the same room together we'll talk about where you hide the money."
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of."
"And that is saying something Trezlan."
"I hate you so much Nidget." He growled at me. But then I came up with an idea, it wasn't a great idea, it wasn't even a very smart idea, but it was better than being beat and having water splashed on me.
"Nidget I can't believe you told them I keep the money in the sewers under my shop!" Nidget looked at me with his head tilted. "You fool now they have no reason to keep us alive outside of having to find out the combination." Nidget smiled I think he clued in to it.
"I'm not dying here to save your fortune of precious gems Trezlan! You were never going to save me anyway."
"NOW I CERTAINLY WON'T!" And with that they burst into the room all full of smiles and carted Nidget out. So my plan worked, sort of, I mean I had to now hope somehow Nidget would be able to overpower a group of bandits in the sewers and then come back and save me and Jandel. I had to admit it was a dumber plan than the ones the bandits tried to use on Nidget and me.
