In the afternoon, on the prison yard in the core area, inmates who had finished their morning work walked onto the yard to get some air.
Annie occupied a bench on the edge of the yard, with the pirate Anna sitting next to her, while the thief Katherine stood behind the bench with her arms crossed.
"It seems that this prison still has some normal people like you guys," Annie said, stretching her arms over the back of the bench in an arrogantly sprawled pose.
"I've heard about Drake's legendary prison escapes in the Empire a long time ago," Anna said with an obsequious smile on her face, "It's an honor to meet you here."
"You're also a pirate of the Empire, but I don't seem to have heard much about you," Annie scrutinized Anna, "But to be locked up here, you must be somebody, I guess."
"Ha, I wasn't really active before..." Anna laughed awkwardly and hurriedly moved past the topic.
