"Fine. I can trust you." he replied, trying to keep the desperate edge from his voice. He'd do anything short of selling his soul to get out of this cage. Better dead than enslaved...but better alive than dead, after all. He tried tor estrain questions at the same time...that would only lead to a most un-noble babble. A great way to lose face.

Besehba smiled "There will be time to answer the questions...but now it is time for this pit fighter to die"
John groaned "She loves being dramatic...here, take this pill"

His face turned doubtful, but he grabbed the pill with his human hand and quickly swallowed it, bracing himself for whatever might come.

Besehba smiled "We will see you in a few hours, we will give you the antidote then...until then, you will be as dead. Do not worry..."
John smiled as well "Yeah, you'll be siff as an old bitch but you'll live, I promise. We're going to go see if we're picking up anyone else. Oh, and don't worry, the twitching is normal."

He heard the voice and turned, looking out into the hallway. Seeing no one he stood, walking as far as the chains allowed and trying to see.
There was someone here, someone with obvious power and courage, or stupidity to broadcast so openly. He couldn't be sure if it was a trick of some sort, and with a match coming soon it was a risk to be standing as he was. If they found him this way they would use force to bring him out of the cage, whether he restisted or not. But, if there was a chance...
Dozens of memories came from failed escape attempts, the torture and punishment that followed those, and the examples made of others. Lingering at the end of the chain a moment he turned and sat back down. Still watching but not believing or letting his hopes rise.

Besehba looked away from the one they had found and looked down the hall "Another?"
Without another word, she walked down the hall, leaving John to continue reassuring the recruit.
She found herself in front of another cage with an older male and felt curiousity. She let the sight shield shimmer for a moment, then she was invisible once more.

He could sense someone else near, a feeling like being watched more than anything else and he resumed cleaning his wounds, incase it was one of the guards.
After a few minutes he grew tired of waiting and ignoring the possible consequences spoke up. "I know your there." he said, tying a rag around one of the larger cuts on his arm.

"What do you want?" He asked, keeping an even tone as he studied a large bruise on his torso.

"I am simply looking for those not broken."

"Why?" he asked, moving on to rub a stiff shoulder, "Looking for a challenge? Or someone to place money on?"

"Some of my...team has retired, and I am hesitant to do my job alone. We seek replacements."
John chose onw to catch up. He poked Besehba and grinned "Drop te sight shield, no one's goign to attack you girl! Hey, you caught her interest huh?" he said as Besehba shimmered into existance.

"Team?" he looked up now, eyeing the two up and down. "What kind of team?"

John glanced at Besehba, whistling "You really ARE bad at this" he returned his attention to te man in the cage "We're...tomb raiders you could say. We finf knowledge, forerunner artifacts...you name it. We just go through hell to get it"

"Ohhh..." he nodded in understanding, "You're thieves. I suppose you sell these things after you go through the trouble to steal them."
