(Doesn't tinypic let you resize it? If I'm wrong about that, I'm fairly sure there are websites like pic resize and stuff that might work. Sorry, I'm not super savvy about that type of thing, haha)

(Aw, I love he picture! It's so nice! And I really like how you feel like she's moving and ready for action.
Hehe, yeah, I guess. It's not very bad, anyways, just a little on my cheeks because I was outside for like half the day yesterday and forgot sunscreen, oops! It's my first sunburn ever, actually. I'm glad you're doing great Blue! I love summer so much, it's nice to have free time.
Heya Glow! How's life?)

(Aren't you in a wildly different time zone, Blue? And same, we only call it sunscreen here in the USA lol
Yeah, I'm a dark little asian child with skin that never burns haha. Well, until now. That sucks; I love the sun until it burns me. Aww, poor Win. That's terrible. The east coast isn't too bad, but I was just overconfident in the super-tanning abilities of my skin and was too lazy to put on sunscreen when I spent like 8 hours outside xD)

{ RIP sunburns x-x I've actually never had a sunburn before either, but as Cre said, the asian skin is pretty formidable xD Nevertheless I'm also not a fan of tanning so I apply and reapply sunscreen like it's my sole purpose here on Earth
The Cali sun ohmy...I've been there a couple times on vacation and it's brutal (': Gotta tote around a lil sun umbrella hahaaa }

(Yee, asian skin is great. My mom is a dermatologist so I try to remember sunscreen, but idk, she's like my safety net. If I get skin cancer I just figure she can help me. Probably not the best state of mind, but oh well xD
I've only been to Cali once, but yeah, it's a lot!)

Rhyne
Rhyne was quiet for the entire carriage ride, golden eyes fixated forward in a blank stare. He remained huddle in the back corner, chin resting on his knees, breathing surprisingly even. His safety mechanisms had been triggered mentally with the appearance of the cage, and so Rhyne had done the only thing he knew to do: he retreated, becoming catatonic. He was struggling to fight his own demons, to chase away the shadows of years of confinement, but he was drowning. Falling, spiraling into an abyss of panic and despair, with no way out. He was trapped again, locked away in the dark room of his childhood, where the walls taunted him and the door remained forever out of reach. He clawed at the walls until his nails cracked and bled; he body-slammed the door until his arms were black and blue and useless, and still he tried to break free. He couldn’t slide back into such a place again, he couldn’t. He knew he wouldn’t be able to escape it again. He wouldn’t be as lucky as before, and he knew if he let himself fall back into the shadows of his past he would never break free. He roared and wailed until his voice was hoarse and dead, and still he thrashed against his confines. He thrashed against the walls of his prison; he could feel them weakening, slowly, like ice over a frozen lake.
The car lurched, and Rhyne blinked a few times, the movement drawing him out of his catatonic state, somewhat. He shifted his gaze to Zehmira, sensing that she was speaking, but he words weren’t really registering. He stared at her, blinking occasionally, but he did not speak. She looked at him, as if her words were meant for him, and he dipped his chin slightly out of reflex. Make friends with the guards, she’d said. Don’t piss them off. We can’t backtalk or pick fights. They might talk if we behave. The small part of Rhyne that wasn’t preoccupied mentally snorted at that. They were four notorious criminals, part of the Raven’s Guild that was allegedly complicit in a countless number of murders and assassinations over the past few years. The guards most likely weren’t stupid; word had probably spread, so they would know the prisoners and their stories. If Zehmira believed she could get them to talk by behaving, she was more delusional than he’d thought. They’d be hung within the week – that was of no doubt to Rhyne. If the guild could break them out within the week, great – he couldn’t wait, considering he wasn’t particularly interested in meeting the executioner, but still, he didn’t think it was possible. The prison they were going to was notorious for being impossible to escape.
Zehmira fell silent again, and Rhyne was pulled back into the madness of his mental prison. For the remainder of the cart ride, he continued to slam against the walls of his prison and claw and the confines. The ice of the frozen lake continued to slowly crack and groan at his constant battering. The ice continued to give until it weakened that last little bit. That was all he needed – Rhyne smashed his way out.
The man jolted, inhaling sharply and releasing a chilling growl as his golden eyes darted around, taking in his surroundings. There was confusion in his gaze, as if he’d forgotten where he was for the time being. A flash of recognition slid through his gaze, and he exhaled sharply. Confined; caged. That was right. He could feel the shadows of his past creeping up again, but he shook them off, instead shifting his gaze to the prison that loomed in the distance. The cart rumbled past a line of guards at the entrance of the prison, and one of them had the audacity to leer at Rhyne. He fixed his wild gaze on the man and curled his lip back, releasing a chilling ‘watch yourself’ growl. The man blinked in surprise, but was brave enough not to break formation. Zehmira looked at him, and he gave her a small nod.
The cart stopped, and guards filed into the small space, grabbing him first. Good, he thought to himself. They’d recognized him as a threat it seemed, but that didn’t bother him. They’d underestimate him, nonetheless. Rhyne allowed himself to be drug along, allowed himself to wince and whine in pain as his injured shoulder was yanked the wrong way. Allowed himself to remain cooperative, until he saw the wide, iron bars of their cage. His nostrils flared, a silent growl rumbling in his chest. There was a brief flash of panic in his gaze, but he forced it down, forced himself to remain calm. He stepped over the threshold into the cell, golden eyes sliding back and forth in an inspection of the tiny room. Two cots; the floor was dirty and grimy, and he doubted the beds were much cleaner.
There was a resounding clang as the door to the cell closed, the key jingling in the lock. Rhyne stared at the man, memorized his face, his actions, his mannerisms – the information could come in handy. And then he left, and only two guards remained. A younger man, and an older. He cocked his head, flicking his gaze to Zehmira. It was possible she could work her womanly magic and gain an ally, but who knew?
She asked him a question. “Fine,” he responded, voice clipped. It wasn’t; the wound was throbbing and aching something fierce, but he couldn’t worry about it now. He moved towards the center of the cell and crouched down, resting his forearms on his legs, and then he went still, gaze fixated on the door, as if he were searching for a weakness.
He was, in fact; the door was old, judging by the looks of it, and it was likely one or two of the hinges had grown rusty. A yank at the right angle could have the thing loose enough for them to break free.
Arya offered the cots to him and Zehmira. He shook his head; he wouldn’t be sleeping any time soon. Time was of the essence, and he would die fighting before he let them hang him, or his companions.

Ilai Fencarrow
Odette's conciliatory words had a welcome wisdom to them. "Well, said, Odette," Ilai murmured, his gaze flickering back over to Cypress briefly. The only words that came to his own mind were more along the lines of, shut up, Cypress. But anyway.
"Family does come first... but we still have to take our chances where they come. To pass up a perfect opportunity..." he trailed off, flexing his jaw. They'd tried to take out those royals before. Not only did a failure hurt their standing with the sponsors - who paid generously but come hell or high water expected results - but Ilai took a failed plan like a knife to the heart.
To break all of them into a prison so well protected would be a feat and a half, anyway; perhaps Odette's idea wasn't just a compromise forced by the situation, but in fact the best course of action. (And he frankly wasn't convinced he wanted to give Cypress any responsibility for saving their family in the first place). He too transferred his gaze to Kade, trying to gauge what track his mind might be on.
